In pursuance whereof the said Mr. Roberts who was the same person imployed and relied upon by the Undertakers to make up the former Accounts with the assistance of the Secretary of the Undertaking and two of their Clerks spent several Months in stating the Respondent's Accounts and comparing them with the Vouchers which justified the said Accounts in all things and after the strictest scrutiny imaginable two distinct Accounts were made and closed in the same method as the two former Accounts the one commencing the 25th of Decemb. 73. and ending 25 Decemb. 74 and the other going on from thence to 24 June 77 upon the foot of which last Account there remained a Ballance for principal Money not reckoning Interest Commission-Money nor Gratuity the Sum of 36454 l. 8 s. 8 d ¼ And thereupon all the Respondent's Vouchers were delivered up and Abstracts thereof and of the Accounts were delivered to the Undertakers or their Representatives But the Sum of 12295 l. which the Respondent had received from Sir John Jame's Agent as borrowed Money and as such had given Bond and became lyable for the same by the direction of the Undertakers not appearing at the time of making up the said Accounts but afterwards to be Money due to the Undertaking the said Edward Roberts thought it proper to enter a Memorandum thereof in the Accounts which caused a change and transcribing of some of the leaves but no alteration of any Sum Article Figure or other thing in the said Accounts save the entry of the said Memorandum which reduced the ballance to 24159 l. 8 s. 8 d ¼ as is fully in proof in the Cause and hath been cleared to the satisfaction of the Courts of Exchequer both in England and Ireland at the respective Hearings of the cause notwithstanding any seeming Reflections upon the Respond●nt concerning the same It being evident that the Respondent had not nor could have any Advantage if the said Memorandum had not been incert●d for 〈…〉 obliged to pay the 12295 l. as above and when it was ●●●●●vered to be paid in England and so not to be allowed again to the said Sir John James in Ireland he had his Security delivered up which made the matter equal to this Respondent The Respondent notwithstanding many promises not being able to get the Money due to him was forced to exhibit his Bill for that purpose in the Exchequer in Ireland against the said Undertakers and their Representatives some of which being brought to hearing and the Bill against others taken pro Confesso a Decree was made for the now Respondent's recovering the said 24159 l. 8 s. 8 d. ¼ against the then Desendants with his Costs no mention
