mentioned.

[Preamble.]

Whereas the Sum of Thirty one Pounds two Shillings & six
Pence was allowed to a certain Andrew Mills on the List of Debts
due from the Publick for transporting Soldiers from Annapolis to
George-Town, and it appears to this present General Assembly that
the said Allowance ought to have been made to William Mills who
was Owner of the Vessell in which the said Soldiers were transported.
And Whereas the Sum of fifteen Pounds was allowed on the
said List to John Peacock of Frederick County which Allowance
ought to have been made to John Peacock of Baltimore County.

And Whereas the Sum of two Pounds five Shillings was allowed
on the said List to Joseph Price of Saint Mary's County which
Allowance ought to have been made to Ralph Price of the said
County.

Executor of his last Will & Testament.

And Whereas it appears to this present General Assembly that

sentatives of Samuel Gaither deceased of which the said Anne hath
