"Nicholas Cooke is accepted as security in 2,000/. for Nicholas Buckeridge, and John Crandon's father as security in 500/. for his son, who is to go in the Happy Entrance to assist Mr. Buckeridge. A bill of exchange for 238/. 5s., representing the estate of Thomas Codrington, who died in Persia, to be paid for the maintenance of his son to Nicholas Buckeridge, who took care of the boy ; but as Buckeridge is going abroad, he requests that the money may be paid to the Company and the youth sent out with Captain Bowen to be instructed by him, as the interest of the said money is not sufficient for his support ; to this the Court consents."^[1]
