complainants, out of the estate of Achsa Fottrell and Edward Fottrell,
which have come to his hands, interest at the rate of six pounds per cent,
per annum on the sum of 43i pounds of tobacco, [1704, ch. 69, s. 1;] £51 15s.

thought reasonable, by this Court, that no interest should be paid for so

and gold tea spoons, which are to be returned in specie to each of the com-
plainants, [1715, ch. 39, s. 11, 12, 16, and 17,] from the 15th day of February,
in the year of our Lord 1741, till the same be paid to the complainants. And,

complainant Henry, be paid to Edward Dorsey, his guardian; and that so
much as is decreed to be paid to the complainant Eleanor, be paid to John
Eidgely, her guardian; and that the said Edward Dorsey and John Ridgely
respectively give security, at the next Court to be held for Anne Arundel
County, to be approved of by the Justices of the said Court, to pay such
sums as they have, or shall receive of the said Chapman, to the said Henry
Woodward when he shall arrive at the age of twenty-one years; and to the
said Eleanor Woodward when she shall arrive at the age of sixteen years;
and that the complainants, or their guardians, give unto the aaid "William
Chapman good security to return a ratable part of what they shall receive
to satisfy any debt or debts which shall hereafter appear to be due from the
said Amos Woodward, with the payment whereof the law will charge the
said William Chapman as administrator; and that the complainants pay two-
thirds of the costs of this suit; and the said William Chapman one-third
part thereof. And it is further Ordered, that the said William Chapman
use his utmost endeavors to receive what debts are due to the estate of the
said Amos Woodward at this time; and that he render an account of what
he shall receive, upon oath, to this Court, by the last day of November
