PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, October 14th, 1783. 2 At the President's House. $
PRESENT :
His Excellency JOHN DICKINSON, Esq'r, President.
The Honorable James Irvine, John Piper, and - Esquires. Christopher Hayes, Sebastian Levan,
The Comptroller General's report upon the account of the Hon'- ble Christopher Hayes, Esquire, late Sub-Lieutenant of the county of Westmoreland, were read and approved, and two orders were drawn on the Treasurer in his favor : one for forty-one pounds four- teen shillings and six pence, State money ; and the other for one hundred and forty-three pounds seven shillings and nine pence, ballance of his account as Sub-Lieutenant for said county, to be paid out of the money arising from militia fines in the county of Westmoreland.
And one other order was drawn in favor of the said Christopher Hayes, Esquire, for fifty pounds nineteen shillings and ten pence specie, in full for provisions furnished by him to the persons em- ployed in running the Temporary line between this State and the State of Virginia.
An order was drawn in favor of Hon'ble John Piper, for the sum of six pounds two shillings and six pence, in full for his attendance in Council till the fourteenth instant, and his mileage.
Frederick Phile, Esquire, agreeably to order, attended in Coun- cil, and made report of the monies in his hand, subject to the draughts of this Board.
Upon the verbal representation of Colo. Richard Humpton, that many of the recruiting accounts of the Pennsylvania line were yet unsettled, and that he had reason to believe there was a large bal- lance due to the State, for which he as Superintending officer of that duty held himself responsible,
Ordered, That the ballances due to the State by the several re- cruiting officers upon a settlement of their accounts, be deducted from the sum to be advanced to each in consequence of the resolu- tion of Assembly of the twenty-second of September, 1783, and that they be added to the fund now in the hands of the Naval officer, and appropriated to the purposes of the aforesaid resolu- tion.
Resolved, That orders be drawn agreeably to the following arrangement, as settled by the Comptroller General :
