See also Clarendon claim no. 37.

T71/962: sets out background in a letter from Adlington (sp?) & Co., received 23/09/1835. Peter Pattie's will of 23/08/1831 gave his children all heritable property and directed all the proceeds of the Bank, in Clarendon, and Milk Spring, in Vere, to be sent home and placed under the direction of James Fraser, a practitioner of physic and surgery, and Robert Murray, a writer, both at present residing in the town of Dumfries in Scotland. Steele, however, entered his own claim as executor without mentioning his co-executor. Plea to have James Fraser enter a counterclaim, or for the money to be awarded jointly, not just to David Steele.
