the Southern parts of Virginia, should be apply'd to the benefit and better Support of the Government of Virginia for the time to come. However with this restriction, that such application of the Quitrents should be made according to Such orders only as shoud be given from time to time by His Maj'ty.

Some time after, the Ld. Colepepper haveing purchased the Sole Right to the Northern neck, obtained new Letters Patents from His Maj'ty, King James 2nd, dated the 27th of September 1688, for that Territory, to Hold the same to Him and His Heirs at the yearly Rent of £6. 13. 4, and then His Maj'ty likewise did please also to promise and declare, that the Quitrents of the other part of Virginia should be applyd to the Benefit and better Support of the Government of that colony according to such warrants as should from time to time be issued by His Maj'ty.

This Revenue was in the Management of the above named Col. Nathaniel Bacon about 3 years, and then Wm. Byrd Esq'r was by warrant from the Lds. Commissioners of the Treasury, on the 24th of December 1687 appointed Auditor of the accompts of his Maj'ty's Revenue in Virginia. But Mr. Ailway having about the same time a Grant under the Great Seal for the same place, did by his letter of Attorney irrevocable assign the Benefit of the said Grant to the said Wm. Byrd Esq'r, who injoyed the Place for the space of 17 years with the Salary of Seaven and a half per cent on all the moneys he received. But Colo. Nicholson by the advice of J. B. and B. H. because he coud find no handle to impeach either the exactness or Integrity of the said Wm. Byrd, did several times endeavour to get the Place divided upon pretence of the incompatibility of the Aud'r and Rec'rs place being in one Person. However, he injoyd them both intire to the time of his death in the year 1704.
