Vouchers not the best
evidence
8
In the individual case in question, as it happens,

in the purpose clause above referred to) been "lost": certain papers

But, unfortunately as he is in respect of such less,
the Accountant is not to such a degree unfortunate, enough as not to
possess, or have at his command, that which ( what to
so little purpose has tendered at the very outset,) viz. other
"evidence" "other evidence of actual payment" + and in the matter instance + Chief Inspectors Query 5th)
of two at least, out of the only those items here in question
evidence not only in whatever shape may be deemed the best, and but likewise from the same source, as that from which

place (the iron foundry at Sheffield Park) at so many
different times, in the instance of three, he <del was fortunate had this
enough (as he thought) good fortune (for such it seemed to him) to have preserved documents,
viz. Invoices by which, from the of all
objection to them, and from the call made for those other
such, he concludes all "characters of Voucher" are fortunately possessed.
