Note that gaps were left in the original to indicate what appears to be the decimal point ie. "."
The letters "B" and "Be" were at the far right hand side of the "Proprietors" column and their meaning is unknown.
The value of "ce" appears to be 15 pounds here.
Plots 9-14 appear to use 14 pounds for the value of "cb" perhaps?
