well as the contingent expenses of General Synod, and thereby prevent the continued appeals to the Churches for collateral aid. The Board respectfully submit the same to the serious consideration of General Synod. It having been referred by General Synod to the Board of Direction, to inquire into and state the accounts of Mr. Jacob R. Hardenbergh with the General Synod, in relation to moneys paid by him for repairs, &c. to Rutgers College, and what moneys or balance, if any, is due to him, and report thereon ;-the Board of Directors report, that they have attended to that duty, and find that there is a balance due to Mr. Hardenbergh of five hundred and eighty-seven dollars and fortyone cents, including interest, as will more fully appear by a statement of his account herewith delivered; in which he has charged himself with the sum of five thousand one hundred and fifty-six dollars and thirty-four cents, received by him as the agent of Isaac Heyer, former Treasurer of General Synod, for subscriptions to the second Professorship of the Theological College, and credited himself with the moneys paid by him from time to time to Mr. Heyer, as also with the sums paid by him for repairs, &c. to Rutgers College, to Lewis Carman and Peter Spader, and other small items, amounting together to five thousand five hundred and ninety-seven dollars and forty cents; leaving a balance due to him as aforesaid, for principal, four hundred and forty-one dollars and six cents, and for interest, one hundred and forty-six dollars and thirty-five cents, making together five hundred and eighty-seven dollars and forty-one cents; which the Board believe to be correct, and recommend that General Synod order the same to be paid. The Board further state that Mr. Hardenbergh claimed another credit of four hundred dollars, said to be paid to Mr. Heyer, but the only evidence of such payment which he could produce, was a check drawn by himself as agent, &c. on the Bank of New-Brunswick, for that amount, payable to Isaac Heyer or bearer, which check was not endorsed or receipted for by Mr. Heyer, and therefore, in the opinion of the Board, could not be allowed. The Treasurer's annual account, together with the annual digest, making part of this report, will exhibit to General Synod the state of their funds. Treasurer's Account.
