afterwards applied. Resolved that the Clerk take the
necessary proceedings for receiving the money from the
Estate of the late Mr Montague as soon as the same is
payable under the order of the Court of Chancery 409
They also decided that the proposed widening of the Road (Causeway)
near Kellaways Bridge be deferred until they had the money back from
the Montagu estate.
Court cases take time, and it was not until the next meeting, in 1817 410 ,
that Mr Atherton was able to report that the sum of £125 13s 4d, part
of the Montagu debt, had been received. Unusually another meeting was
held the same year 411 when it was recorded that
Mr Atherton stated that the Remainder of Mr Montague’s
Debt had been received and that he had paid the Balance as
under mentioned amounting to the sum of One hundred and
Fifty pounds and 2s into the hands of Mr Pinniger” the
Treasurer
This seems to be at odds, to the tune of £1, with the amounts given in
the Treasurer’s accounts later:
The amount of debt proved £172 4s 9d.
