These debts are apparently going to be met by the exchange of the plantations to be held in lien by Edwin Lascelles.

There are then two sheets that are copies of Richard Green’s (deceased) accounts with William Daling, which appear to be linked to another memorandaum as they are dated 1785. The accounts also name Elizabeth Green as his main executor. The fourth sheet concerns the complaints of debt made against Elizabeth Green by Daniel Lascelles. Following the death of Gedney Clarke a court order was made requesting Richard Green's accounts to Lascelles and Daling, as a result of this a further court order came about stating that Elizabeth Green (as Richard’s executor) had to pay back her husband’s debts. In turn this was levied on her real and personal estate. The first memorandum links to her regaining possession of her lands meaning that some of the debt must have been satisfactorily paid.\n\nPreviously referenced LASCELLES/Packet 3/Item 129" ] } }, { "id": "https://discover.york.ac.uk/ark:/36941/LASCELLES_1_2_23_7/presentation/3/manifest", "type": "Manifest", "label": { "en": [ "Copy of Order and bill for additional costs for case between Daniel Lascelles and Elizabeth Green" ] }, "summary": { "en": [ "This Chancery Court order involves Daniel Lascelles (complainant) and Elizabeth Green (defendant).
