Note 13 — Taxation in Rhode Island, 1636-1689.
Reading edition
95R.I. Col. Recs. I, 122: The order directs "that the three shillings a day allowance be taken off from the Officers." The "Officers" might imply that all offices were paid, but there has been no mention of payment except to the secretary and sergeant. It is not unlikely that the magistrates received fees in their judicial capacity.
