7 Jul 1761

From: 1761 To: 1761

i) Charles Pryor ii) Mr Smith has received ii)'s of 3rd instant; when Mr Gill's account settled and balance fixed at £1598..11s..9½d, Mr Crane, Mr Sherrard and Mr Wright each paid Mr Hoar £266..8s..7½d to trustees account; one Mr Hurst an attorney at Newport Pagnell gave me great trouble and put his clients to great expense before letting them pay the remainder. I was determined he should pay his share - forced to comply Mr Garnar of Grantham is concerned for purchaser of late Gill's estate; Mr Hurst would desire i) to have recognizance vacated; i) met Hurst's clerk in court (Mr Marriott) who was in agreement - i) would consent on trustees behalf if clerk made application. Hurst and Marriott then asked i) to draw petition to Lord Chancellor - sent fair copy to Hurst who has not returned it - presumably he now intends to do the rest himself "and make a cats foot of me". Asked him for out of pocket expenses at which he was very angry have proceeded exactly as in vacating recognizances of Mr Battison and Mr Stephenson, former receivers of this estate. Has done all possible to please every body except applying for money to Mr Hurst who alone thinks him wrong in so doing Lincolns Inn 7 Jul 1761
