If you rock since June 30th 1904, there are no credita.
He has paid in nothing, and is only credited with
interest. He apparently closes this account, but kept
it open for the interest. The other account follows it.
He did not pay anything more into that account ?
Exactly.

Ward transferred £150 on fixed deposit to the London

I suppose you dont know anything about the instructions
he gave

why the No 1 account was kept open, and he
opened a No 2 account ?
No, I was not here at the time. I only arrived in the
Colony last year.

Quite common.
