p. 302

A report which hath been made to us by a Committee of
both Houses appointed this Session to inspect the Office and
Proceedings of the Commissioners for emitting Bills of Credit
having given us Room to apprehend that some of the Naval
Officers whose Business it was to collect the Duty of 15d per
Hogshead pursuant to the Paper Currency Act, and to remit
the same to the Trustees in London for the Purchase of Bank-
Stock on Account of this Province have been negligent in the
Discharge of their Duty, and that in particular one of them
has failed to remit to the said Trustees sundry Sums of Money
he must have collected by Virtue of the above mentioned Acts
and that large Arrears are due from him to the Province, that
such Steps may be taken for procuring Satisfaction to the
Public as your Excellency may think the Nature of the Case
