PURSUANT to an Act of the General Assembly, we the Subscribers this Day repaired to the PUBLIC TREASURY, and having examined the Treasurer's Accounts and Vouchers of his different Receipts and Payments since the first of April last, when his Accounts were settled and passed by the General Assembly, find them all to be fairly and justly stated. We find that, since the said first of April, there has been received of the Taxes appropriated to the Redemption of Treasury Notes, the Sum of Twenty-one Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty-nine Pounds, Fifteen Shillings, including 671l. 8s. 7d. the Balance then reported to be in his Hands; of which there was formerly burnt 9058l. 4s. 7d. and we have this Day burnt and destroyed the further Sum of 9953l. 15s. 9d. so that after deducting the Treasurer's Commissions, amounting to 418l. 3s. 5d. there remains a Balance in Specie and Paper of 2239l. 11s. 3d. which we leave in the Treasurer's Hands to be exchanged for old Notes, and accounted for at a future Day. Upon examining the Public Account we find there is a Balance of 390l. 17s. 1d. due of the Treasurer. Given under our Hands this 29th of December 1768.
