{"value"=>"Now that the report from the southern province is before his lordship, he begs that the latter will lay it before his Majesty in Council to have it fixed; the lands in question have been patented and settled from this province for eight or ten years; he has assured people on McCulloch's lands, and others, that if they should be fixed in the other province, the King would make good the first patents and they would have only the quit rent to pay to the other province; North Carolina ought to have the north-east side of the Pedee to the sea; South Carolina has laid a prohibitive tax on naval stores and indigo from North Carolina, so that the planters of the latter province are prevented all watercarriage from the Yadkin and Pedee to the Winyaw; asks that the Council be allowed an appointment out of the quit rents; a deputy auditor is needed, owing to Lord Walpole's death; desires his lordship to recommend Mr. McCulloch to Mr. Chumleigh, the auditor."}
