In Council April 14th. 1792

In Virtue of the Resolution of the General Assembly passed November Session 1790
empowering the Auditor General to adjust and settle, subject to the direction of the Board, all
open and unsettled Accounts between the State and Individuals upon equitable principles, The
Board took into consideration the settlement of an Account between the State and the late
General Hooper, by which it appears there is due from him a balance of two thousand nine
hundred and twenty two pounds, ten shillings and four pence three farthings, and after mature
investigation of the same, are of opinion that the above balance was applied to the use of the
Militia when in actual Service and not to his own private Account, and do therefore Resolve
that the Auditor General be directed to credit the said General Hooper with the Amount of the
said Claim and to forward this order with the Vouchers to Christopher Richmond Esquire
Agent for the State to be by him charged to the United States.

By Order

T. Johnson Jr, Clerk of Council
