On the death of an usher of the Court in 1702, a large sum, for which as usher he was accountable was due from him : in a suit instituted for the administration of his estate, more than sufficient was realized to liquidate the amount, and all sums actually claimed were paid : in 1719 the Court ordered a fund sufficient to answer the unclaimed sums to be invested, and directed the interest to be paid to the representative of the deceased usher until further order : similar orders for payment of the interest were from time to time down to 1833 made on the application of the existing representative of the usher; and in 1854, a petition was presented for the same purpose by the then representative. On a full discussion of the case, and on the petition being amended, an order was made for the transfer to him of the principal fund.
