In a chancery case Mary Bennet sues Mr Jones to recover 1540 pounds from a purchase funded by Thomas for Bennet’s benefit. Thomas paid Jones, later died insolvent, and Jones seeks to offset the funds against Thomas’s debts. Bennet contends payment to Jones for Mrs Bennet cannot be used to balance Thomas’s debt. The record notes August 1783 remittance of 1300 pounds and Thomas’s death in 1785 amid complex creditors’ claims.

Lord Chancellor hears two petitions on the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts and the division of a large accumulated fund among two petitioners.
