To ditto, in the committee of buying, 64,079 To dividends on stock not yet demanded, 23,883 To dividend on stock, due at Midsummer, at the rate of 10 _per cent._ 859,704 To interest on annuities to Midsummer, including interest not yet demanded, 75,406 To interest on bonds to Midsummer, including interest not yet demanded, 60,553 To commission due to supercargoes, 30,000 To the proprietors of goods sold in private trade, 75,900 To warrants passed the court unpaid, 7,500 To alms-house at Poplar, 13,503 To salaries of clerks, _&c._ and for tradesmens bills for work done to the house, _&c._ 5,000 To ballance to government for naval and garrison stores received in India, 9,223_l._ but as government owes to our company 33,750_l._ as the price of salt-petre, this ought not to be stated. These are the whole debts dated by the Directors themselves as due by this Company, besides their bonds and annuities, a great part of them are not payable in the common course of business for a considerable time, some of them not till the year 1769, and the Company are possessed of effects now in England, independent of the cargoes of this year daily expected, sufficient to pay them all; but at any rate none of these debts fall within the prohibition of the statutes by which the Company is restrained from borrowing under their common seal to a greater amount than six millions, for none of these debts have been borrowed under the Common seal, nor indeed have been borrowed at all in the sense meant by the act of parliament, but are merely book debts contracted as the price of goods, _&c._ in the common course of merchandise. It further appears by a calculation made by one of the Directors themselves, a member of the committee of treasury, that by the sale of goods in the common course of the Company's sales, the Company will be in cash, to pay off all these debts and also to pay the dividend of 6-1/4 _per cent._ against the month of February 1768.
