charged for each Service according to the Limitation and Allowance
of the Rates prescribed by the said Law; with this Difference, that

or in Money after the Rate of 12/6 Common Money for One hun-
dred Pounds of Tobacco, and I have in this Manner charged Fees
in the Chancery Office by the Order and Direction of the Secretary.
