The four are then combined in turn with the number of enslaved persons given as 27, 60, and a single amount, £4151 6s 9d.  It breaks down: 1061A & 1062A to R. Buchanan (£3450); 1061B & 1062B to George Baillie 'for the use of Her Majesty' (£550 14s 6d).  Brunton's £150 12s 3d is not clearly identified with any claim number, but appears below 1061B & 1062B.
