Tusnsbn Orrucx, Dcssremlsitr 16, 1772.
CANNOT suflicicntly express my Astonish
mcnt that so little Punctuzllity was observed by
mzmy Collcctors of the Duties and Taxes, as well
as others indebted to the Trcusury, in the Pay
ments they ought to have made at,the last Gene
rnl Court, and the late Mecting of the Merchants.
I know it has been inlinuntcd hy snmcss that I am
inclined to be or rignrous; but let all such con
{i—lcr how very esscntial it is to the Honour of
this great Country that the Crcdi; of its public
ssl'l'c;llill'}' shoufflbc esssscctuully maintained; and let
them inform me how l um to answer thc Dcmunds
os the public CreditorZ, and be prepared to ex
change the Trcasury Notes, unless the Duries zmcl
Tuxcs, imposed for these Purpases, arc regularly col
lected :lnsil paid. si' ' '
When I had the Honour of being first appoint
ed to thisi. Office. it is very Well known how Mut
ters stood : Many Collectors, largely indebted, were
dcud, and I sound many innocent Sccuritics unhap
pily involved in the greatest Difficultics. Under !.
Circumshmces I judged it most advisenhlc to red
Things to Order by Degrees, having Regard to the'
ultimutc Security of the Publi By pursuing' this
Melhodsil am convinced much as been saved; and
I Butter myself it will bL' found that very few, is
any chts, will be lost which were not; dcspcrutc be
fore I had any Thing to do with them.
But lndulgencies of every Kiml must now be at an
End; and my Duty compek me to acquaint nll con
cerned that ] shall hold myselisiindispensably obliged,
without Rcspect of Persons, to put the Laws into the
(trictest Exccution against all such as continue in Ar
rczu' after the zsth of ]arzuury next, when another
general Meetin of the Merchant's i.; expected; and
that I shall, infuturc, after the End hf every Gene
ral Court, think it necessary to publish an exact List
of every Dcsaulter. I desire the several Clcisiks to
send me the proper Lists and Copies of the Collect
ors Bonds, given srom Time to Time, that l may
be prepared to enforce a Performance of the Con
ditions of them. I must also request the several
H I C H S H E ]? FT 8 to make up their Aceounts
for their whole ounties at once; and, to avoid the
Consusion that may be introduced into the Office
by the Rcmissness of many Under Sherisss, as well
as other Collectors, Idcclare, once for all, thatl
will receive no partial Puyments.
Finding that such Part of the Fund as was expected
to arise from Ordinury Lieences is likely to be dimi
nished, and it having been represented to me that
this is owing to many Ordinary Keepers sailing to
renew their Licences regularly, [must beg it as a
Favour of the Gentlemen Dcputy Attornies to give
some Attention to this Business, and I will, on
Dcmund, pay all Fees that may arise in such Pro
secutions as they may think necessary to engage in,
where they cannot be had of the Delinqucnts.
