that for want of due payment of the Forces in that Province the
revenue which was intended for petitioner's satisfaction was applied
to defray the Contingent charges of the said Forces and Fortifications :
but that by a clause of an Act of the last Session [2 and 3
Anne c. 17 for punishing mutiny § 56-7] the payment of the arrears
due to the said Forces was authorised to be made and thereafter the
surplus of the 30 per cent. exchange profit on money of the province
