parishes which by reason of their Extent and number of<lb></lb>
inhabitants are under the present Management most beneficiall<lb></lb>
to the Collector Your Committee have not had an opportunity<lb></lb>
to examine by whose direction or to serve what purposes this is<lb></lb>
done but were informed that this was lookt upon as a right<lb></lb>
belonging to the Messenger.</p>
<p n="459"> <note type="authorial" place="margin">2</note>
As to the instruction to enquire how the money has been<lb></lb>
disposed off That appears by the Creditor side of the Treasurer's<lb></lb>
account laid before this Court and appears to have been paid in<lb></lb>
pursuance of severall orders of the Board of Lieutenancy and all<lb></lb>
the Items (besides the payments to Capt. Enbank and the three<lb></lb>
Serjts. in Major Watts's Company may be shortly reduced to three<lb></lb>
heads.</p>
<p n="460">Rent for their Office<lb></lb>
The Officers salarys and charges<lb></lb>
Moneys paid to the several Captains.</p>
<p n="461">But upon these severally Your Committee beg leave to make some<lb></lb>
observations it appearing to them by the receipts of the several<lb></lb>
persons interested that the Money has been actually paid. By<lb></lb>
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<lb></lb>
the Deputy Lieutenants who appear to have sign'd the order</p>
