The process included notifying the local official that a motion was pending (notices and correspondence) so that he could settle his accounts before the case was heard. Failing this the court entered a judgment (judgments) against the official and the solicitor/auditor issued a request that the judgment be executed (executions and receipts for executions). After the judgment was executed the fact was noted in a return made to the court (returns). ","Included are Solicitor and Auditor Offices correspondence and directions, 1783-1862, to agents instructing them to deliver notices to local officials. The correspondence lists the localities to visit and to whom to provide the notices. Also included are letters regarding expenses accrued by agents on their trips. Included are lists of judgments obtained and lists of motions before the General Court. Of note the judgments, 1852, were sent to companies for failing to report dividends declared. The lists of motions, 1785-1814, consists mostly of ledgers noting what motions were in front of the General Court. Includes motions against inspectors who failed to render accounts of the duties they collected and lists the residence, inspectors name, name of the ship/sloop, goods, name of the warehouse storing the goods, and amount of interest or tax owed. Of note are the returns, 1781-1790, which include details on why taxes weren't collected or noting that the delinquent accounts were satisfied. Often the reason stated why taxes weren't collected was because property that was to be sold didn't have any buyers. The returns list the property to be sold, including noting the number (but not names) of enslaved people. ","These records are part of Auditor of Public Accounts.

Prior to the Revolution there was a ropewalk in Norfolk; in 1776 it was moved to Warwick in Chesterfield County where it produced various types of cordage for naval vessels. On 1 October 1776 the General Assembly appointed Sampson Mathews and Alexander Sinclair to erect and superintend a manufactory for the making of sail duck (sailcloth). Captain Charles Thomas directed the ropewalk at Warwick. By 1779, a tannery was erected at the ropewalk. The British army, led by Benedict Arnold, raided and burned Richmond and Warwick and destroyed the ropewalk in 1781 and in 1785 the property was sold. \n","For additional information see, \"A War-Inspired Industry,\" by G.

Ropewalks were long covered walks, buildings, or rooms where ropes are manufactured. Hemp fiber was converted into yarn, which was then used to make rope, twine, cord, and sailcloth. The accounts and receipts detail items purchased to run the business as well as orders for cord and other materials manufactured at the ropewalk.
