The Treasury Lords to the Lords Justices, Ireland.

The amounts are therefore as follows, viz. 1,385l. 4s. 2d. for Col. James Wynn's Regiment of Dragoons; 1,465l. 0s. 4d. each to the Foot Regiments of Brigadier Stewart, Sir Henry Bellasis, Colonels Henry Rowe, Richard Coote and John Michelburne: total, 8,710l. 5s. 10d.: which sum being advanced here is to be repaid as above. |
