M.r Tyler brings in and delivers to M.r Speaker the following
Report
By the Committee appointed to inspect into the State of the several
publick Offices
October the 4.th 1770
Your Committee have examined into the State of the several
publick Offices and find that the old Records in the Commissary's
Office and Land Office remain in the same incorrect, defaced, torn
Condition as has been, from Time to Time, since the Year 1765,
reported to your Honourable House. And your Committee are of
Opinion, that many of them, without immediate Reparation, will be
entirely lost — Your Committee have found five Wills, and thirty five
Accounts in the Commissary's Office, exhibited in 1759, that have
never been recorded; and that all other Matters in said Offices appear
to be recorded to the present Year. Your Committee also find, that
the Record of the Lands, in the Secretary's Office, is brought on
and examined to the present Time; as is also the Record of the Laws;
but find that the Judgments in that Office are only entered up to
April Term 1766 inclusive. Your Committee have annexed an addi-
tional List of Record Books in said Offices, made up since the last
Report- — All which is submitted to the Consideration of your Hon-
ourable House
