12 The Lieutenancy have power to dispose of so much of the

</
lb
>
Trophy Money as to them shall seem expedient to the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Inferiour Officers for their pains and encouragement your
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Committee are of Opinion that the payments abovementioned
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to the Captains can by no means be warranted by the said clause
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
but that the payment to the three Serjeants is expressly within
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that law: As to the £10 to Capt. Enbank The Committee observe
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that his demand came to £46:7s:11d of which he is allowed £10
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
only in a gross Sum so that it does not appear upon or of what
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
heads that £10 is made up and consequently whether the whole or
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
any part of it is or is not justly and regularly allowed him by
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Lieutenancy Your Committee have had no opportunity of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
examining into the truth of an Objection which may possibly
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be made by the several Capts. Viz. That this Money is by them
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
distributed to the Inferiour Officers but take it upon the face of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the order that the money is paid them to their men use and with
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
regrett observe that two of the Deputy Lieutenants who appear
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to have sign'd the order for the Distribution have thereby carved
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for themselves and reced each their £10 as Capts. Your Committee
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
are the rather enclined to think that the Capts have no legal title
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to this money from the Consideration of the 9th section of the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
same statute which seems to distinguish between Inferiour
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and Commissioned Officers and provides another sort of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Recompence for the Commisioned Foot Officers. Whereby it is
<
lb

</
lb

provided "That every Commisioned Foot Officer in the trained

lb

lb

"Bands or Militia of this Kingdom (settled according to act of
