II. The Provincial Revenue Establishment.

1. Public Treasurers.

During the earlier proprietary period (1634-89) such provincial (as dis-

tinguished from proprietary) funds as were raised were taken and disbursed by

Lord Baltimore's Agent and Receiver General. When the proprietor was deprived

of the government, a separate custodian of provincial funds became necessary.

The two Treasureships, thus established in 1694, were continued under the

Constitution of 1776.
