(4) The appeal which was many years ago depending before the House of Lords, touching the debt due from Mr. Charles Mason to Sir Biby Lake and Mr. Newell, who was security for this receiver, was deterinined in favour of the crown ; but the inortgage to the late Sir Biby Lake being prior to the crown's debt, the morigage money was to be first paid; the estate has been fince fold, and has not been sufficient to satisfy the mortgage, and therefore we apprehend there is nothing left for the payment of the crown debt.

(8) The estates and effects of this receiver were vested in trustees for the use of the crown, and great suins have been paid into the Exchequer ; and there is a small estate remaining, upon which there is a receiver appointed, who pays the profits annually in satisfaction of the crown debt. (9) The receiver left an estate in Ireland, for the sale of which it was thought necessary to obtain a decree in the court of Exchequer there, and a suit was commenced for that purpose ; but by reason of the many prior incumbrances, it was found impracticable to recover any part of the debt. (10) Extents have been issued, and several sums raised; but nothing 1 more is expected. (11) Greatest part of the estates of these receivers have been sold, and the purchase money paid into the Exch:quer, and nothing farther expected to be received. a a Devon, (12) Ethereld Davey 17. 28.

(12) There was a prior extent sued out by the commiffioners of customs, who took poffeffion of the receiver's estates, which were insufficient to satisfy the debt due to the customs. (13) The estates and effects of this receiver were affigned to a tru. stee, and fold, for raising money for satisfaction of the crown debt; several sums of money have been paid into the Exchcquer in consequence of such sale, but nothing more can be received. (14) Upon this receiver's failing, extents were issued against him, upon which his person was secured, and all his cftate and effects, which could be discoverd, seized, several suns have been raised thereout, and paid into the Exchequer, and his fureties have fince compounded by act of Parliament. (15) Process went against this receiver into Wales, which never could be got executed. (16) Upon this receiver's failing, a writ of Diem claufit extremum issued against Edward Hooker, one of his fureties, and afterwards extents against himself; wereupon he and his other security, Francis Sheppard, conveyed their eftates to William Yeldham, Esq. a trustee for the crown; and all the receiver's estates have been told, from whence, and also from the effects of the said Hooker, many thousand pounds have been paid into the Exchequer; but nothing more can be received. (17) This receiver has been dead many years, and his securities have obtained an act of Parliament for compounding the debt due to the crown; and a case is now before his Majesty's attorney general, for his opinion how to proceed in the moft effeštual and speedy manner, for recovering the money.
