But upon these severally Your Committee beg leave to make some

observations it appearing to them by the receipts of the several

</

persons interested that the Money has been actually paid. By

the Statute made in the 15th of Charles the 2d cap: 4 Sect 12 The
<
lb

</
lb

Lieutenancy have power to dispose of so much of the Trophy
<
lb

</
lb

money as to them shall seem expedient to the Inferiour
<
lb

</
lb

Officers for their pains and encouragement Your Committee are
<
lb
>
</
lb

of Opinion that the payments abovementioned to the Captains
<
lb
>
</
lb

can by no means be warranted by the said clause but that the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
payment to the three Serjeants is expressly within that Law: As
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to the £10 to Capt. Enbank The Committee observe that his demand
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
came to £46:7s:11d: of which he is allowed £10 only in a gross sum so
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that it does not appear upon or of what heads that £10 is made up
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and consequently whether the whole or any part of it is or is not
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
justly and regularly allowed him by the Lieutenancy Your
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Committee have had no opportunity of examining into the truth
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of an Objection which may possibly be made by the several Capts.
<
lb
>
</
lb

Viz: That this money is by them distributed to the Inferiour
<
lb

</
lb

Officers but take it upon the face of the Order that the money is
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
paid them to their own use And with regret observe that two of

the Deputy Lieutenants who appear to have sign'd the order
