The Bills dra^vn by Colo Hunter for one quarters Subsistence for 1764 adults at 6^ and 445 Persons under age at 4^ a day in all making 2209 Persons, and amounting to ^£4700. 17. 11. seems t-o be computed according to the numbers that landed at New York in June 1710 which with submission I think ought not to be because it is certain many of them are dead.

It is most certain that no person that has his Limbs, and wiU work, can starve in that country, every Man or Woman above

MANOR OF LIVINGSTON.

15 years of age may earn two Shillings and three pence New York money (which is Eighteen penc-e sterling) every day in the Year except Sundays. Handicrafts men, such as Smith, Joyners, Carpenters, Masons & Bricklayers, may earn at least Five Shillings New York money every day they will work, so that nothing can bring those people into the danger of starving but willfiill Laziness.

My Lord, upon the whole matter I am of opinion that if the Subsistence proposed is allowed, the consequence will be that Levin gston and some others will get Estates, the Palatines will not be the richer.
