The accounts date 1803-1834. Many of the entries appear 

 to be incorrect. Various prices seem to have been paid for 

 Sparrows, and possibly, taking the entries for 1809, if these are 

 quarterly payments, the prices have varied according to the time 

 of the year. The first payment for eggs seems to be in 1816, 

 and after this date they become frequent. During the above 

 years over 33,000 Sparrows appear to have been destroyed.
