The amounts payable and received are shown in each case, producing substantial amounts lost or unrecorded and a deficiency. On the lower part of the page is a further calculation showing amounts unaccounted for by the Committee of Management, the loss of rents, the amount retained by the lawyers, an amount retained by committee member Willock, an interest charge, and various further balances. Docketed on verso, "In re Chambers, Opera House, 1835."
