LXVIII  And be it further Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That all Inspectors
shall annually, in November Court, after the Sale of the Transfer Tobacco,
and one Day before the laying of the County Levy, account with the
Justices of the respective Counties upon Oath, or Affirmation if a Quaker, for
all Monies and Tobaccoes received, or which ought to be received, by them,
by virtue of this Act (except the Money and Tobacco paid for Nails), for
every Hogshead of Transfer:  In which Account they shall be allowed their Salaries,
the Rent for Warehouses, Purchase of Tobacco Hogsheads, and other
necessary Disbursements, in pursuance of this Act.  And shall, and are hereby
obliged to pay to the Owners or Proprietors, for the Rent of their Warehouses,
the same Proportion in Money and Tobacco, as they shall on the
whole receive in that Year, on Account of their said several Warehouses.

    LXIX.  And if it shall so happen, that at the laying of the said County
Levy, there shall be any Claim or Claims arising by the Salary of an Inspector
or Inspectors, County Clerk, or other annual Charge, from any Inspecting-House
or Houses, within any County in this Province, it shall and may
be lawful for the Justices of such County respectively, and they are hereby
directed and required, at the November Court of such County, yearly, to assess
and levy a Quantity of Tobacco, sufficient to discharge the same, on the taxable
Inhabitants of such County, that thereby the Current Expences of each
Year may be defrayed.

    LXX.  And be it further Enacted, That all Debtors now owing Tobacco,
which did arise due before the Sixteenth Day of May, Seventeen Hundred
and Forty-seven, their Executors and Administrators, shall, if they pay their
Tobacco Debts then due, in Inspected Tobacco, at Warehouses, in pursuance
of this Act, be allowed by their several and respective Creditors, their
Executors or Administrators, a Deduction of one Fourth Part of their said
Debts or Demands.

    LXXI.  And forasmuch as several, or most of the Traders, within this Province,
have kept their Books in Money, though in Truth their Dealings have
been for Tobacco, and the Intention both of Creditor and Debtor hath been,
that the Payment should be made in Tobacco; Be it therefore Enacted,
That in all such Cases, the Creditor shall be paid in Tobacco at the general
Rates such Creditor dealt at the Time such Contract was made, and according
to the true Intent and Meaning of this Act, deducting from such Debts
one Fourth Part of the Demands, as aforesaid, of the Creditor be paid in Inspected
Tobacco, in case of Debts due before the Sixteenth Day of May, Seventeen
Hundred and Forty-seven, and not otherwise.
