It is hereby certified that the within sums of 163 doll &77 C^ts and the sum of sixteen hundred dollars do now Stand on, the Books of the late Pay Office to the Credit of John Stagg late Lieut in the Reg. com- manded by Col^o Spencer. M^r Stagg being charged with sundry sums of money received by him as acting Pay Master to Col. Malcoms Reg.^t The late Commiss- ioner of Army Accounts agreeably to his instructions from the Superintendant of Finance withheld those sums untill M^r Stagg accounted for those charges; he now having made oath to the expenditure of the money, and produced a receipt for the Balance being paid into the hands of his Successor. I am of opinion that the Act of Congress of the 1^st June 1784 will justify a Settlement of the Same.
