The account at Chester was not kept with regularity before 

 the year 1814. At Sheffield the whole number of silver 

 watches assayed did not in the ten years exceed one hun- 

 dred and ten, and none of gold were assayed. At Exeter 

 only seven silver watches were assayed; none at York or 

 Newcastle ; and at Glasgow and Edinburgh no accounts are 

 kept.
