Probate |
1898 [5] |
The executor's final account of his estate makes interesting reading: outstanding income tax was one guinea: yet he owed £35 for meat to the firm of G. Simons (which traded until 1985), an extraordinarily high figure, especially when one considers the servant's wages of 3/6d per week which are also mentioned. |
