What's with the rewards on that?

> Whoever conveys the said slave to me, in Albemarle, shall have 40 s. reward, if taken up within the county, 4 l. if elsewhere within the colony, and 10 l. if in any other colony ...

Is that "s" for small, "l" for large? small/large what?



I'm guessing s is shillings and l is pounds.
