will lye against them for any default therein and
that this is the only Remedy against any Treasurers
who shall refuse to accot. to pay the Moneys Collected
according to the Order of the Sessions But the Comittee
are also of Opinion that the Treasurers for the time
being are answerable for all Sumes of Money
received by their Collectors, they being named and
chosen by the Treasurers & not by the Sessions in
case such Collectors prove insolvent, or refuse to
pay ever what they have received
