court or court of the county where such buyer resides, on a motion to them made by the treasurer of this colony for the time being, to give judgment on the said bonds, and thereon to award execution, provided such buyer and his securities, his and their heirs, executors, or administrators, have ten days previous notice, which monies shall be accounted for by the said treasurer to the general assembly.
III. And be it further enacted, That the treasurer of this colony, out of the public money in his hands, shall pay for the said twenty three hogsheads of tobacco, to the respective proprietors thereof, at the rate of eighteen shillings per hundred weight.

An act for the case and relief of the people by paying the Burgesses in money for this present session of Assembly.
WHEREAS by one act of assembly, passed in the third and fourth years of the reign of his majesty king wages paya
George the second, intituled An act for the better re- ble in mo
gulating the payment of the burgesses wages, it is, ney. among other things, enacted, that when any session of assembly should be thereafter held, and upon exami
nation of the treasurer's accounts it should appear that
there are monies sufficient in his hands to discharge all the money debts, together with the burgesses wages and the salaries and allowances to the respective officers of the general assembly, saving and reserving in the hands of the treasurer, over and above the said allowances, a balance of fifteen hundred pounds at least, that then every burgess elected and serving for any county or corporation within this dominion, should be paid out of the public money the sum of ten shillings for each day he should serve in the house of burgesses, with such further allowances and under such restrictions and regulations as in the said act is at large declared. And whereas it appears there is not money sufficient in the treasurer's hands to pay the burgesses wages for this present session of assembly, leaving a balance of fifteen hundred pounds, according to the direction of the said act: Nevertheless, as the payment of the said wages in money will be a great ease and relief to the inhabitants of this colony, by lessening the levy by poll: Be it therefore enacted, by the Governor, Council, and Burgesses, of this present General Assembly, and it is hereby enacted, by the authority of the same, That the burgesses wages and allowances for the present session of assembly shall be paid by the treasurer, out of the public money, so soon as there shall be sufficient in his hands for that purpose, according to the directions and regulations of the said recited act.
