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 accountant 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 78. 8d., appearing still to remain on the general credit of the cause, is reserved for the costs of the attorney general, and will be paid over 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. 6d. 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 different boxes we have handed you. We are, dear sir, your very faithful servants, CLARKE, FYNMORE & FLADGATE. RICHARD RUSH, Esq.
