On the Petition of William Blair Townsend, Esquire, in behalf of his children:

As it appears from said Petition and Note that the sum of five hundred Pounds was, in the year 1773, on the 9th of August, borrowed of Harrison Gray, then Treasurer, of Madam Mary Hubbard, since deceased, for the use of this Colony, which sum said Gray obligated himself and successors in the office of Treasurer to repay, with annual interest, to the said Mary, or her heirs: And as said sum, with the interest (save one year) remains unpaid, and the heirs have solicited the honourable House to pay the principal and interest, or the interest:

Therefore, Resolved, That there be paid out of the publick Treasury to said heirs, or their guardian, the interest due on the afore mentioned sum.
