I have considered & examined the Vouchers of M^r James Girards Bill hereunto annexed for engraving of seales which your Lordships were pleased to referr to the Principal Officers of his Majestys Mint the 8{^t}Feb 172 $\frac{1}{2}$ & humbly certifie your Lordship that I find them right the work good and the prizes reasonable being the same heretofore allowed for work of the like sizes .

{A}ll which is most humbly submitted &c

I.N.

{{illeg}} it likewise appeares to me by proper receipts that the seales in the said Bill mentioned have been delivered to the respective Offices or Officers of State they were ordered for, and as they have been weighed in the mint that they are of {illeg} Weight expressed in the said Bill

7. March. 1721.
