Subsisting, The Comittee did not think it proper for them

to Consider, whether Westmr. would or would not have been
<

</
lb

Chargeable by Law to the said County Rates, If noe

And having now gone thro' the several particulars

referred to them, your Comittee conclude with

Observing That though the whole Course of their

Inquiry, They could not a void taking notice under
<
lb

</
lb

every Branch of the County Rates and Revenues,
<
lb

</
lb

How many Inconveniencies, and what great losses
<
lb

</
lb

have happen'd by the neglect of the Collectors and
<
lb

</
lb

from the Omission of Calling upon the high Constables
<
lb

</
lb

and Treasurers Yearly and regularly to make up
<
lb

their Accots. But chiefly from the Want of a Regular
<
lb

</

</
lb

That the Comission might at any time be apprised of

</

the State of them, and where or what Treasurers
<
lb

</
lb

or Collectors are defective or negligent, in order to

give the Necessary Directions thereupon, And
<

</

being fully sensible how much it will be for the
<
lb

</
lb

advantage of the County to have a regular Method
<
lb

</
lb

of taking and keeping their Accots. Established and
