directed, to state, settle, audit, and adjust all accounts relating to the matter
in dispute, in the said Court, depending between George Atkinson, executor

fendant; we met at the house of Mrs. Catharine Jenaings, in Annapolis,
known by the sign of the Bunch of Grapes, on the 29th day of May instant;

hereunto annexed, whereby it appears to us, that there is now due on the
same mortgage the principal sum of £263 0s. 4d. sterling, and for seven
years and nine months interest to the date above mentioned, allowing the
deduction for alteration of the style £122 5s. 9d. sterling, which, in the
whole, amounts to £385 6s. Id. sterling. All which is humbly submitted to
your Excellency by J. Maccubbin, Rob. Swan.
