it; this being the mode adopted in the court of chancery to 

 show the authenticity of their orders. 



We also send you a transcript from the books of the ac- 

 countant general, certified by Mr. Lewis to be a true copy, 

 Mr. Lewis being the clerk whose duty it is to make such 

 transcript. The sum of £70 7s. 8d., appearing still to re- 

 main on the general credit of the cause, is reserved for the 

 costs of the attorney general, and will be paid otfer to his 

 solicitor upon his applying for the amount; and the cash 

 standing to the account of Mrs. de la Batut is for the arrears 

 of her annuity, and will be paid to her. 



We have seen Mr. Deacon upon the subject of his charge 

 for warehouse-room beyond the 24th ultimo, and have paid 

 him for the same £2; and we have also paid 4s. 6(1. for 

 swearing to our bill of costs, which is the whole of our 

 demand against you. 



Mr. Deacon informed us when we saw him that he had 

 in his possession a painting belonging to the estate, and 

 which he promised should be sent over to your house, and 

 which we presume he has done; but should he not have 

 done so, perhaps you will be good enough to apply to him 

 for it. 



We will thank you to send us an acknowledgment for the 

 diflerent boxes we have handed you. 



We are, dear sir, your very faithful servants, 



Clarke, Fynmore & Fladgate. 



Richard Rush, Esq.
