Then, having concluded the outer survey, and brought the total, so far as appraised, up to 400l. or a little more, the sequestrators proceed to a separate and special inventory of the household goods.
All that he can put on paper as his own is now his small Wheatley property of 40l. a year; his "personal estate in corn and household stuff," left at Forest-hill before the siege of Oxford, and estimated at 500l. if it could be properly recovered and sold; his much more doubtful stock of "timber and wood," also left at Forest-hill, and worth 400l. on a similar supposition; and debts owing to him to the amount of 100l.
Powell's case, in which his own statements are accepted, and notice is taken of a request he had made for an allowance of 400l. off the value of the Wheatley property on account of the mortgage to that amount with which it was burdened, the fine is fixed by these ominous words at the close: "Fine at 2 yeeres value, 180l." The officials had been strict as Shylock.
The explanation is, that by an ingenious arrangement, devised by Lord Beaconsfield, the professors of the Jesuit College in Stephen's Green are nearly all made Fellows of the Royal University, those of the Arts Faculty receiving 400l. a year, and three Medical Fellows 150l. each.
Set your face steadily against all increase of salary, all extra allowances, all plausible claims for additional emolument. A Mr. Pollock, the first deputy, is in receipt of 8,000l. or 9,000l. a year as his own share of the profits; other deputies and persons unnecessarily employed have profits amounting to 1,200l. or 1,400l. a year each.
The directors, finding that the two institutions which have been established for the relief of decayed artists, were not only founded upon the most humane principles, but conducted in the most beneficial manner, have applied in the course of the present year, 400l, to the purposes of those institutions; viz. 200l. to the Artists' Benevolent Fund, and 200l to the Artists' General Benevolent Institution."
The Lordship continued in this family about 191 years, 'till the male line failing, it became the joint property of four coheirs Ann, married to Sir Arthur Kaye; Mary, the wife of John Knightley, Esq; Ursulla, the wife of Sir Robert Wilmot; and Arabella, unmarried; who, in about 1730, disposed of the private estate in the manor, amounting to about 400l. per annum, to Thomas Sherlock, Bishop of London, as before observed, and the manor itself to
"Colonel Mannering might have had more politeness," he said to himself "it is not every man that can bring a good chance of 400L a year to a penniless girl. Singleside must be up to 400L a year now there's Reilageganbed, Gillifidget, Loverless, Liealone, and the Spinster's Knowe good 400L a year.
I have not valued this farm particularly at 400l. a year more, but I felt that the farm was worth 400l. a year more than I had let it at. You have said that at the time the Commissioners valued it, you believe they proceeded on the idea that wheat was worth 12s. a bushel? No, I do not know what calculation the Commissioners made; they were three eminent surveyors.
Up to 1840, one eighty-fifth share had averaged 400l. per annum; since then, however, the dividends have been on the decline, nor are they ever likely to reach the same amount, for several reasons, the chief of which is the destruction of the fur-bearing animals.
