The property, which was in the Funds, and which amounted to L60,000, was to be enjoyed by Miss Brandon immediately on her attaining her twenty-first year; meanwhile the executors to the will were to pay to the young heiress the annual sum of L600. The joy which this news created in Warlock Manor-house may easily be conceived.
They will also inform Smithers & Co., to whom they say you are indebted for over L600,000. So that Smithers & Co. will at once come down upon you for payment." "Do Smithers & Co. know any thing about this?" asked Potts, in a voice of intense anxiety. "They do business with you the same as ever, do they not?" "Yes." "How do you suppose they can know it?" "They would never believe it"
A few years later, Handel received yet another L200 a year from Caroline of Ansbach, now Princess of Wales, for teaching her daughters the harpsichord, so that he enjoyed a settled income of L600 a year for the rest of his life.
They and I to Westminster Hall, and there met Roger Pepys, and with him to his chamber, and there read over and agreed upon the Deed of Settlement to our minds: my sister to have L600 presently, and she to be joyntured in L60 per annum; wherein I am very well satisfied. Thence I to the Temple to Charles Porter's lodgings, where Captain Cocke met me, and after long waiting, on Pemberton,
Archdeacon Hunter, of Bayswater, and the Rev. J. Halcombe. The Committee did not expect to do anything great at once, but to begin with small things, and gradually extend their work as the way might open. The amount required for the annual support of the Mission would be at least L600.
Steele's argument against the government brought on him the hostility of the Duke of Newcastle, then Lord Chamberlain; and it was partly to defend himself and his brother patentees against hostile action threatened by the Duke, that Steele, in January, 1720, started his paper called the 'Theatre'. But he was dispossessed of his government of the theatre, to which a salary of L600 a-year had been attached, and suffered by the persecution of the court until Walpole's return to power.
Field issued another prospectus, and formed the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, with a capital of L600,000, to lay a new cable and complete the broken one. The Great Eastern started on Sunday before and failed; she succeeded now. Professor Thomson was on board; but Dr. W. H. Russell had gone to the seat of the Austro-Prussian war, from which telegrams were received through the cable.
The total value of the wealth produced in this country during the last year was L1,800,000,000, and the total amount paid in wages during the same period was only L600,000,000. In other words, by means of the Money Trick, the workers were robbed of two-thirds of the value of their labour.
"I own," he says, "that after I had entered on my department, the applications of the Prisoners were so numerous, and their distress so urgent, that I exerted every nerve to obtain supplies, but in vain Excepting L600 I had received from the Secret Committee in Bills of exchange, at my first entrance into the Office I could not by any means get a farthing more, except in Continental Money, which was of no avail in New York.
The aldermen, who without any question were Yankees in disguise, hit upon this neat device: they passed a by-law imposing a fine of L400 upon any one who should refuse to be a candidate for sheriff, and a fine of L600 upon any person who, after being elected sheriff, refused to serve.
