The Contingent Bills for Sicca Rupees 3455.5.1 Ought to be laid before the Board agreeable to the Order on that Subject, dated the 18th of February last, but as these Orders expressed, that the Bills for Contingent Charges should be Accompanied by Vouchers, and the fullest explanation for the necessity of incurring them, it is recommended to Major Kyd to write such a Letter as he thinks proper, on the Subject to the Auditor Gen', to be sent up to Government with the Bill.
THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
There is a Charge for an Advance of 4 Months Allowances to European and Native Artificers, said to commence the 1st of February 1793, which should have been drawn in the form of an Abstract, detailing the Number and discriptions of People, to whom four Months Pay was Advanced, and a list of their Names.
This last paper cannot, perhaps be now conveniently obtained, if not, the charge will be passed, but in that case, nothing can be allowed for the same number of People, till the Month of June; whereas, if the Accounts are understood, some of these men are again drawn for from the 16th of March, up to 31st of May inclusive.
Certificates should have been produced of the last Pay received by the men drafted from any of the Corps in Bengal.
