Hammond's solicitor had applied for a receipt omitting the saving clause but his solicitor's refused so to do; - Ambrose contended that the landlord's receipt did not waive their claims in respect of any breaches of covenant and demanded a clean receipt; - the statement is altered by Alexander Kirby of 14 Great Winchester Street, acting for Ambrose
