Charity:
Poor's Money. The sum of £30, the amount of certain benefactions for the poor, was placed out at interest with John Garland, Esq., of Woodhall, near Barnsley, who died in 1810. Mr. George Fox and Mr. Skelton were his executors. Mr. Fox paid two years' interest in 1813. The executors are now dead. John Garland, jun. Esq., who was the residuary legatee under his grandfather's will, when he came of age, offered to pay the principal ; but as the minister of the parish declined to receive it without the arrears of interest, the offer was withdrawn, and Mr. Garland has since declined to pay either principal or interest, on the alleged ground that the executors had not accounted to him for any part of the residue of his grandfather's personal estate. -Vide 19th Report, page 605.
