I CANNOT suffic'iently express my Astonish
ment. that so little Punctuality was observed b
many Collectqrs of the Duties find Taxee; as We]
as others indebted to the Treasury, in the Pay
ss ments they ought to have made at the last Gene
ral Court, and the late Meeting of the Merchants.
I know it .has been insinuated by some that I am
inclined to be pvcr rigorous; but ,lec all such con
sider how very essential it is to the Honour of
this reut Country that the Credit of its public
'I'rea ury should be effectually maintained; and let
them inform me how I am to answer the Dcmands
of the public Creditors, and be prepared to ex
change the Trcasury Notes, unless the Duties and
Taxes, imposed for these Purposes', are regularly col
lected and paid.
When I had the Honour of being first appoint
ed to this Office, it is very well known how Mat
ters stood: Many Collectors, largely indebted, were
dead, Ztnd I found many innocent Securities unhap
pily involved in the reatefl: Difficulties. Under these "
Circumstances I ju ged it most advisedble to reduce
Things to Order by Degrees, having Regard to the
.ultimate Security of the Public. By pursuing this
Method I am convinced much has been saved; and
I flattcr myself it will be found that very few, if
any Debts, will be lost which Were not desperate be
fore I had any Thing to do with them.
But Indulgencies of every Kind must now be at an
End; and my Duty compels me to acquaint all con—
cerned that l shall hold myselsindispensably obliged,
without Respect of Persons, to put the Law: into fie
strictest Exccution against all such as continue inm
rear after the zsth of.]anuary next, whcr. another
general Meetin of the Merchant: iesiexpected; and
that I shall, in uture, after the End of every Gene
'ral Court, think it necessurv to publish an exact Lm
,pf every Desaulter. ] desire the several Clerk: to
send me the proper Lists and Copies of the Collect
ors' Bonds, givepsilsrom Time to Time, that I may
'be prepared to) enforce a Persormance of the Con
ditions of them." I must also request the several
HlGH SHERIFFS to make up their Accounts
for their whole Counties at once ; and, toavoid the
Confusion that may be introduced into the Office
by<the Rmissocss of many Under Sherifl's, .as tell
as other Collectdrs, Ideclare, once for all, thatl
will receive np partial Payments.
Findin that such Part of the Fund as was expected
to arise ram Ordinary Licences is likely to be dimi
nished,-. siit having bed! represented to me that
this in owmg to many Ordinary Keeperp sailing to
renew their Licences regularly, Imust beg it as a
Favour of the Gentlemen Deputy Attornics to give
some Attcntion to this 'Businesi, and I will, on
'vDemand, pay All Fces that may m'isc in such Pro
fecutions as they may think necessary to engage in,
where they cannot be had of the Delinqucnts.
