six hundred rix-dollars belonging to the pub¬ 
lic chest, under the care of Mr. Adzer Knud-

seized in Iceland by Mr. Jorgensen amounted in the whole 
to nineteen thousand two hundred and twenty rix-dollars, 
eighty-six skillings, Danish currency. Mr. Jorgensen, how¬ 
ever, who appears to have kept an extremely accurate 
account of money received either by confiscation or from 
the public officers, as well as of sums issued in the payment 
of salaries and for other public purposes, states the former at 
sixteen thousand nine hundred and fifty-five rix-dollars, two

skillings. Other sums were advanced by Mr. Phelps to meet 
the demands of various persons, but these did not come un¬ 
der the head of public expences. It is to be remarked, that 
Mr. Sysselman Koefoed had collected king’s taxes to the 
amount of twelve hundred and ninety-five dollars, which 
were consequently considered as property to be confiscated ) 
but, as this gentleman had laid out the money in the pur¬ 
chase of land, Mr. Jorgensen did not claim any of it. 
f This was the only vessel that was seized.
