Note.—Whereas our sum total of the rents of this lordship doth come very short of the auditors charge of the rents of this manor, we do humbly certify that we have had much conference with the receiver-general of this County about the same, yet he could not satisfy us therein ; but the said receiver desireth that the trustees would refer the clearing of the said difference to him and the auditor in London, where he the said receiver intendeth to be within this month.
