E. E. WM. KILTY, Solicitor for J. A. Frazier.
Explanation of the above account. The charge No. 1 arises from the will
of Alexander Frazier, Senior, leaving John A. Frazier the half of his estate:
and the amount estimated from the testimony in the cause, particularly that
of John Frazier. The charge No. 2 is deduced from the testimony respect-
ing the sale of the timber, that not being considered as a part of the usual
profits of the land. The charge No. 3 arises from the will of Alexander
Frazier, Senior, directing his son John A. Frazier to be educated out of
Alexander Frazier's part of the estate, and the time during which his edu-
cation was neglected is stated to be eight years, from the testimony which
proves that he was educated about three years. The credit No. 1 is fixed at
eight years, as it appears that John A. Frazier was boarded out about three
years, which expense fell on Alexander Frazier as a part of his education.
The credit No. 3 is given on an estimate formed from the testimony as to the
manner in which John A. Frazier was clothed."
After which, the case was brought before the Court for further directions.
