THE PROVINCIAL REVENUE ESTABLISHMENT

1. PUBLIC TREASURERS.

During the earlier proprietary period (1634-89) such provin-
cial (as distinguished from proprietary) funds as were raised
were taken and disbursed by Lord Baltimore's Agent and Re-
ceiver General. When the proprietor was deprived of the govern-
ment, a separate custodian of provincial funds became necessary.
The two Treasureships, thus established in 1694, were continued
under the Constitution of 1776.

a. Treasurer of the Western Shore,
