The fees were established by the General Court, Nov. 1637. In April 1668, a stated salary was fixed, instead of fecs : "The Court, on weighty reasons moving them thereunto, having by their order, this Court, disposed of the annual recompense of Edward Michelson, Marshal General, to the public use and advantage, judge it nec- essary to provide for so ancient a servant of this Court some comfortable maintenance instead thereof, that so no discouragement may rest upon him, do therefore order, that the said Marshal General Edward Michelson shall be allowed and paid £50 per annum out of the Country Treasury, in lieu thereof, by the Treasurer for the time being."
