Then follow, successively, all and every the
vouchers produced, with their amount in tobacco,
current or sterling money, properly cast
out in their several columns, taking due care to
enumerate the several properties of each particular
voucher, such as, what the debt was contracted
for, and upon what, if upon bond, account,
or by virtue of any other, and what engagement,
to whom the same was due, by
whom paid, and in what sort of money, with
notice of the probate and receipt thereon, to the
end that at any time thereafter the whole
transaction may appear plain, and be perspicuous
to every future enquirer:  when the debt is
contracted on a bond, the account must also
contain the date of such bond, and the time
when payment was made, with particular mention 
of the amount of the principal sum, and
what sum hath been allowed for interest on
such bond.  The several vouchers being thus
credited, the next allowance to be made is, for
funeral expences, officers fees, and for finishing
the crop, (if any was on hand at the death of
the deceased;)--very great and extravagant demands
are often made, by executors and administrators,
for that service, but that allowance
is not to be made for more than what appears
to have been necessarily expended by them, in the
pursuance thereof, and nothing at all for their

Construction
of the Account.
