am still under the impression that the amount
will reach $4,000


Since my last Report, receipts amounting to
1881 70, for interest on bond and mortgages
from the estates of Jacob Lorillard Henry Pray
and others, have come in, which by our books
Were back from one to three years. Also, from
John J. Astor, Stephen B, Mum, Peter A. Jay,
and others, for wheat quit rent, which had been
due for three years by our books. BY this it will
also be seen, either that the books in this office
were not properly written up, and the returns OF
: Lloyd compared with them, or there was negli-
gence on the part of the Comptroller or the De-
putty, in allowing Lloyd to retain so large sum
Of money in his hands FOR such length of time


Again.

large portion, if not all, Of the money re-
ce'yed from, the citizens for rents, &c.
regularly entered therein, were open fol
examination. And yet the officers whose
