As to the Second Paper the Commee observe in General that it is drawn

with a great deal of care, the Facts therein charged are truly and

exactly set forth and becoming Gentlemen that had a Regard to the

Publick Interest. But however the Commee think themselves

obliged to make some observacons on two Particulars therein mencon'd Vizt.

The first Regards the management of the Trustees in relacon to the £2000

borrowed of Mr Fuller, this was done at the first meeting of the Trustees

after the officers were chosen, after the business of the day Seemed to be

over, Mr Bertie the Chairman and many other Trustees being gone

</

away, and to carry on that business another Chairman appointed,
<
lb

</
lb

besides this was done in a very expeditions manner first they Order
<
lb

</
lb

that £2000 be borrowed and imediately (whereby other People were
<
lb

</
lb

Prevented from making any Proposals) they Order that the £2000
<
lb

</
lb

be borrowed of Mr Fuller and the better to conceal their Partiality
<
lb

</
lb

they add these Words "if he Please to lend the same" Tho' in
<
lb

</
lb

reality they have allowed Interest for his money form the very next
<
lb

</
lb

day which must be before any Mortgage Deeds could be executed.
<
lb

</

And besides it appears by the Trearers Accots. that the Money was not
<
lb

</
lb

paid into his hands till eleven days after the Comencemt. of the
<
lb

</
lb

Interest nor dos it appear when the Mortgage Deeds were executed

but the Report shews how little occasion they had to borrow Money

The second Observacon the Commee make on the said Report regards the

Sum of 250 & odd Pounds charged for Passing the Act of Parliamt.

We have endeavoured to get exact Accot. of the charges but could

</

never receive any Satisfaction either from Mr Edwards who managed
<
lb

</
lb

the Affair or from the Sollicitors employed. the general Answer
<
lb

</

was they were so much Money at last out of Pocket, and so much has
<
lb

</
lb

been allowed by the Trustees. But the Comittee think it Proper to

lay one Article before you (which they Collected from appear shewn
