The following disbursement was made: -

4 fees $45.50 Probate duly and Court fees.

Funeral expenses Wills for & milk and butter.

10 Advertisements $9.10 Drugs $2. Boxer $10.50 Provisions $22.91

21 $50.75

1.52 11.31 32.89

Piano $38. Administrator Comm. $193. – $231.48 $313.45

It will be seen that the actual capital ready for investment amounted to $34,962. As a matter of fact $43,447.81 was invested in the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank – the difference of $2 being occasioned by not allowing sufficient for advertisements. This difference however will be deducted when the Deposit Notes fall due. The amount of $34,978.31 was so invested in two deposit notes, viz: $1,800 and $16,789 and the annual income less commission amounts to $166.12 or at the present rate of exchange about £260.2.7.

End

On March 10th 1880, I advanced to Miss Lindsay $150 being the estimated interest on the whole capital to that date though only $94.12 was actually encashed.

On September 7th 1887 I remitted to Mr Lindsay the equivalent of $65.2 viz: £10.1.2 not as half yearly income but as income encashed.

On December 24th next I shall account for further remittance of about £6.n and after that date remittance will be made as follows:

9. March, 1888 about £6.14.10

24th June, 7. September. 24th December,

less postages. The remittances are 6. 6. 10 6.14.5 6. £16.2. 6.11. 6 to unsettled claims against the estate.
