PURSUANT to an act of the general assembly, we this day repaired to the treasury, and having carefully examined the treasurer's accounts of the different receipts and payments since the last settlement, and compared the same with their proper vouchers, find that they are all fairly and justly stated.
There appears due to the public account a balance of seven thousand and eight pounds, seventeen shillings, and a penny. From the fund of old treasury notes there is due to the other funds the sum nineteen thousand nine hundred and seventy nine pounds, eight shillings, and nine pence. The balance due to the fund of notes issued in 1769, and cash borrowed for their redemption, is seven thousand and sixty three pounds, twelve shillings. The ballance due to the funds of notes, of the commissions of 1771, and 1773, including such of those notes as have not been actually issued amounts to a8,614l. 18s 2d. farthing The balance due to the emission of 1774, including such of the notes of this date as have not been yet issued, amounts to 9668d. 17s. 5d. We have burnt and destroyed of the old notes 5,851l. 3s 9d. of the emission in 1769, 1093l. of that in 1773, 2532l. and of the emission in 1773, 6178l. in all, 15,6431. 3s. 9d.
