Cr. Rigby, George Blount, J. Eames, G. Heatbeste. An Account of what Arrears of Land Taxes were ftanding out at Lady Day, 1779; with the Names of the refpeclive Receivers in whofe hands the faia Arrears remain, and what Proceedings have been had to compel the Payment thereof. (1) This receiver's eftates were extended; he did in prifon, and his fureties compounded by act of parliament. (2) This receiver's eftates were extended; he died in prifon, and his fureties compounded by act of parliament. (3) This receiver died infolvent, and his fureties compounded by act of parliament. (4) The appeal which was many years ago depending before the Houfe of Lords, touching the debt due from Mr. Charles Mafon to Sir Biby Lake and Mr. Newell, who was fecurity for this receiver, was determined in favour of the crown; but the mortgage to the late Sir Biby Lake being prior to the crown's debt, the mortgage money was to be firft paid; the eftate has been fince fold, and has not been fufficient to fatisfy the mortgage, and therefore we apprehend there is nothing left for the payment of the crown debt. (5) This receiver died infolvent; his fureties were profecuted, but nothing recovered. Leicester |
