amounting to the Sume of three hundred Forty eight Pounds one Shilling & Two
pence, and privately converted the Same to his own use without makeing any Entries
thereof in his own or the Hospitall Cash Booke: For which Rents Receipts appeare
to have been given by him to the respective Tenants who paid the Same. And that
he also finds. That Mr. Finch (the former Receiver of our Rents) Did in the year 1714.
