O INGE the delivery of this Address I have received many enquiries if copies can be obtained, I therefore venture to publish it, in the hope that it may be of service to the members of our profession ; particularly those who are preparing for examinations. I cannot hope that it is free from error. I have had to invent my facts, and have tried to introduce as many points affecting Trust Accounts as was practicable, without making the Address too long. It is often difficult to be technically correct with your facts provided, and with sound legal assis- tance ; it is much more difficult when you have to evolve your facts, your will, and its interpretation, unaided. My object in framing the Address and the Accounts was to furnish a good working model, and I can claim that this form has stood the test of time and experience, as I have in my possession similar accounts dating back half-a-century. As the Address qualifies and explains the Accounts, it is impor- tant that they should be read together. O. HOLT CALDICOTT. t . - . . . • . • t » t V ' It * I * \ . I • • Birmingham, January, 1890. EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. Mr. Chaieman and Gentlemen, I had the pleasure of meeting your Society in March 1885, when I submitted a pro forma account as an illustration of the Accounts which Executors should keep. This jpro forma account met with some very intelligent criticism from my audience, and after- wards from the Editor of The Accountant. I have given these criticisms consideration, and have in the interval, in some respects, modified my form of Accounts to meet some of the suggestions which were then made. I have read with great interest the very clear and exhaus- tive paper published in your Transactions for 1888, under the title of Executorship Accounts, in which Mr. Frederick Whinney, Jun., has given a most comprehensive view of an Executor's position, rights, duties, and responsibihties. Mr. Whinney has with great ability given precisely the legal knowledge which will be serviceable to Accountants, and I propose in my paper this evening to give instructions for framing such accounts as will enable Executors to furnish the particulars of their estates, which, Mr. Whinney points out, they may at any time be called upon to supply. I find that the ;pro forma account used in 1885 may, with a few alterations, be adapted for this purpose, and in order to give greater completeness I have filled up the forms for pay- ment of duties arising under my Testator's Will. For detailed instructions in regard to Accounts for payment of Probate, Legacy, and Succession Duties, I recommend a careful study of Mr. Hanson's important works, '' The Acts relating to Probate, Legacy, and Succession Duties," pubhshed in 1876, and '' The Be venue Acts 1880 and 1881," published » Abstract of Will. O EXECUTOESHIP ACCOUNTS. in 1883 ; and of Mr. Phippen's " Practical Advice to Testators and Executors," in which latter book you will find numerous examples showing the manner in which the forms should be filled up, I have spoken of my Testator, who is an imaginary person upon whose testamentary dispositions I have to found a set of accounts. As I do not approve of Accountants straying outside their bounds, I shall not presume to draw a Will, but shall ask you to accept the following abstract of a simple Will as containing all that it is necessary for the Accountant to know of this Testator's wishes in the preparation of the Trust Accounts. I always make such an abstract, as it gives me in a con- densed and accessible form the dispositions of the property of which I have to keep a record, and for facility of reference I enter this on the face of my draft Accounts. Abstract of the WILL of ABTHUR BBADSHAW, Esq., late of the Atlas Works, Bermondsey, and of No. 1001, Hamp- stead Road, London, N.W., Mechayiical Engineer. Will dated 14th October, 1880. Testator appoints Executors and Trustees — His brother, James Bradshaw. Charles Drury, of Great George Street, Westminster, Consulting Engineer. Bequeaths to Arthur James Bradshaw, son of brother James Bradshaw — (a) Goodwill of business at Atlas Works. (b) £10,000 part of capital employed therein. (c) Freeholds, Atlas Works, Bermondsey. Bequeaths to Wife, Mary Bradshaw — (a) Jewels, trinkets, wines, and consumable stores. (6) £500 within one month of death. (c) All household furniture and freehold dwelling-house, No. 1001, Hampstead Eoad, for life or widowhood. executorship accounts. I Gives to Executors all real estate and personal estate upon trust to convert, and out of proceeds to pay — (a) Before-mentioned legacy of £500 to wife. (b) Legacy of £100 to each Executor who shall prove the Will. (c) Legacy of £500, free of duty, to the Trustees of St. Thomas's Hospital. And to set apart : — (d) £10,000 to be invested upon same securities as residue, and the Income thereof accumulated, until Emily, daughter of brother James, attains 21 or marries, and thereafter Income of £10,000, and of all accumula- tions arising therefrom, to be paid to her for life, for her sole and separate use ; and after her death the legacy and income thereof to be applied in the same manner in all respects as her share of residue. And to invest residue upon Government Securities, Mortgage of Freeholds and Leaseholds, with not less than 60 years to run, or upon Debenture, Preference, or Guaranteed Stock of any Eailway Company paying a dividend upon its Ordinary Stock, or upon Municipal Securities. Income of residue to be applied in payment to widow of £1,200 per annum for her life, and balance to be divided into two equal shares, one payable to Arthur James Bradshaw, and so much as is required of the remaining shares to be applied to the maintenance and education of Emily Bradshaw until she attains 21, or marries, and, thereafter, the income to be paid to her for her sole and separate use. If Emily Bradshaw's share of residuary income is insufficient for her maintenance and education the Executors may resort to the income arising from the legacy of £10,000. 8 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. Jonmal not used. Upon death of wife, one-half-share of residue shall be paid to Arthur James absolutely, and one half share re- tained in trust for Emily, so much of the income as may be required to be applied to her maintenance, and any surplus to accumulate, until she attains 21, or marries, and thereafter to pay income to her for life, and after her death in trust for all her chil- dren, if any, in equal shares, who being sons, shall attain 21, or being daughters, attain 21 or marry, with power to apply income of their presumptive shares for maintenance and education. Accruer of shares of any children who may die under 21 and un- married. If no children of Emily Bradshaw, this share to Arthur James Bradshaw absolutely. The Executors may, in their absolute discretion, allow all or any part of the capital employed in the Testator's business to remain for such time and at such interest as they think fit, upon Arthur James giving a bond for repayment. Testator died 4th April, 1881. Will proved in the Principal Registry, 14th April, 1881, by James Bradshaw and Charles Drury. Personal estate sworn under £76,800. It may not infrequently be desirable to obtain the advice of a Solicitor to interpret some clauses in a Will, but usually an Accountant's knowledge is sufficient to enable him to reduce the contents so far as they affect the accounts to a few short and intelligible sentences. I have thought it undesirable to encumber my account with any number of testamentary intricacies, as a simple statement will serve equally well to illustrate the mode of keeping Executorship Accounts. I do not use the Journal in Trust Accounts, as I find it an advantage to have full details upon the face of each Ledger t'l executorship accounts. 3 Account, and unless the entries are very numerous, I prefer to make the whole in one book, which thus becomes Journal, Cash Book, and Ledger in one. If the accounts are voluminous I divide them into parts, such as " Cash Book," "Private Ledger," and ''Rent and Investment Ledger." Where a Journal is used there is a tendency to exclude information from the Ledger Accounts, and the necessity for constant reference hampers an Accountant when he requires to extract information, while it reduces what should be per- fect simplicity to hopeless confusion when the accounts are submitted to an Executor or Legatee. Where the accounts are all entered in one book, I adopt the Arrangement . . of Accounts. following order, which has been found by the experience of many years to be convenient, and is arranged upon something like a principle. First in order is an account of the Principal of the Estate, Principal and .... its Subsidiary having in immediate succession the Subsidiary Accounts, such Accounts. as '* Funeral Expenses," " Testamentary Expenses," " Execu- torship Expanses, ** Debts," and " Legacies," and where the Estate comprises many investments, I make a classification of them for entry on the credit side of the account under their respective Subsidiary Accounts, and in the order of the Residuary Account, but I prefer to avoid sub-division of the credits, and to make the one account a complete and continu- ous record of the realisation of the estate. Next follows " Income," and then the " Cash Account, ' after which come the Personal Accounts, grouped as follows : 1. — Bankers. 2. — Testator's trade, shares, properties, loan and mort- gages. 3. — Annuitants. 4. — Legatees. In the pro fojiid statement which I have constructed to show the working of a set of Executorship Accounts, I have Income, Cash, and Personal. i Intention to show Duties. Succession Duty.

I will now return to my Abstract of the WilL under which the Testator, having no children, bequeaths the bulk of his property, subject to an annuity in favour of his widow, to a nephew and niece. My intention in having a childless testator was to admit an illustration of the payment of Legacy Duty, which does not arise if the bequests are to children, now that the one per cent, duty is abolished. Let us now see what the Executors have to do, and learn from their accounts how they carry out the Testator's directions. Firstly, as the freehold works are bequeathed to the nephew without any directions for sale, these pass at once without any act upon the part of the Executors ; but as the successor is liable to pay duty, he may probably ask the Accountant to prepare the necessary form, which will be found numbered 6 in the Schedule. It should be noted that if the Testator had died after the passing of the Inland Revenue Act 1888, an additional duty of 1^ per cent, would have been payable on the value of this succession. The Affidavit for Probate is prepared by the Solicitor, but as the Accountant is often asked to furnish particulars of the estate and of the Testator's debts, it is desirable to include this form properly filled up in my Schedule. {See Form A.) It has been necessary to provide a sum of £2,400 for Probate Duty and fees, and, as the Executors have been satisfied that a large estate must come into their hands, they have obtained, on their own responsibility, an advance of the requisite amount from the Testator's bankers ; but, as I claim that my set of accounts will clearly and fully narrate the { EXECUTOKSHIP ACCOUNTS. 11 history of the administration, I will now turn to it and let it speak for itself. The Executors, you will bear in mind, have to account for the estate of the Testator come to their hands, or to the hands of any other persons by their order, or for their use, and to show that they have dealt with the whole in due course of administration. Commencing with the Account of Principal in my set of EstaS^is shown accounts, you will find that the Testator died on the 4th ^^ ^°°°"°*3- April 1881, and that he left a small sum in the house, and a balance at his bankers ; that he had a considerable capital in his trade, the whole of which was left by the Executors in the hands of the nephew to whom the goodwill was bequeathed, after obtaining valuations from properly qualified persons. The Executors appear to have been justified in this course, as the amount to which he would be entitled for his legacy and share of residue would probably amount to the value left in his hands, and it was evidently the intention of the Testator that he should enjoy the trade without interruption. It further appears that the goodwill of the trade, for the purpose of paying duties, was valued at £4,000, that he also possessed some Railway Stock and some Leasehold Property, and had lent £1,000 upon note of hand to a friend, and £6,000 upon mortgage. In this way you have at once a record of all the property of ascertained amount, and of property which was productive at the Testator's death. The cash in hand and at the bankers pass to the Executors as soon as the Will is proved ; the capital in the trade is ascertained as quickly as possible, and brought into account ; the Railway Stock and Leasehold Property are brought under notice by the proportion of the dividend and rent accrued to the death, and the loans and mortgages being ascertained amounts are at once brought into the accounts. The properties which are not of ascertained value, and which Payments out of Principal. 12 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. are unproductive, do uot immediately appear ; but to avoid any chance of their being overlooked, I open an account under a heading which becomes a standing memorandum pending realisation. The Principal Account will always give the property ascer- tained, or converted, while a survey of the other accounts will give the property not converted. The original intention was that the Principal Account should only contain property realised, and to be consistent, loans and mortgages should be excluded until they have been got in ; but I find that, in practice, it saves trouble to bring them in at once, and should there be any loss, to write that off to the debit of Principal. Proceeding with the history of the administration, the account tells you that the Executors sold the horses and carriage, and got in a hfe policy (an asset whose existence an Accountant will always expect) and that the Leasehold Property was sold in March 1882. A reference to the Loan Account will tell you that it was repaid in .January 1882, and a reference to the Mortgage Account will show that this was allowed to remain as an investment of the trust estate. The Will has already told you that the Testator was the owner of the house in which he lived, and that he had given the use of this house and of his furniture to his wife, for her life or widowhood. You will find from this account that the wife died in 1884, and that, shortly after her death, the house and furniture were sold and the estate divided, and that tlie Executors retained the Kailway Stock held by the Testator as an investment of the niece's share, for which purpose it was valued at the medium price of the day. The debit side of the Principal Account gives you the various classes of payments in the order of their priority, and fall details of these will be found in the Subsidiary Accounts. Under " debts" I have entered only simple contract debts ^i EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. 13 but care must always be taken, if there are other classes of debts, to enter them in the order of their priority. Care should also be taken to ascertain if rates unpaid at the death, or made afterwards, are prospective or retrospective, and to apportion them correctly between debts and payments out of Income. You will notice that in the Legacies Account I have posted some items from the Personal Accounts and one from the Cash Account. My object is to facilitate reference to the Will when you wish to ascertain if all legacies have been dis- charged, by showing the amount of each legacy in one sum free from any complication of duty paid in respect thereof. The precise mode in which the legacies have been discharged will be seen on reference to the Personal Accounts. The Income Account also telis its story (which commences income •/ 1 T 1 -I • r Account. from the death), and informs you what income was produced by the estate, from what source income was derived, and how it was applied. In this account it is desirable to give full particulars to avoid reference to the separate accounts of the properties. The Cash Account and Bank Account have no special Cash ,_,_,, Account. features. In the Cash Account, where the posting is to a Nominal Account, the name of the payer or payee and the consideration should be given. The account of the London and North Western Eailway stocks. Stock has been condensed, but you will see that if it were made out in full, it would show that all dividends had been regularly received. You will observe that, at the date of the valuation for the division of the estate, the accrued dividend has been deducted from the value, and accounted for as income. I believe it is an admitted principle that in estimating a rise or fall in the value of shares, the amount of accrued dividend should be taken into account, and in dealing with any distri- bution between life tenants and remaindermen this appears the only fair way of dealing with shares upon either purchase 14 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. 15 Apportionment of half-ye«rly dividends. Leaseholds. Freeholds. Honsehold Jb'urniture. Loan. Mortgage. or sale. If Executors were to sell Stock or Shares near the end of a half-year and re-purchase at the commencement of the next half-year, without accounting to the life-tenant for the accrued dividend, the remainderman would clearly gain at the life-tenant's expense, and if the operation were reversed the income would be unduly augmented at the expense of the person entitled to the capital. I am afraid that the law, as it now stands, is opposed to this manifestly equitable arrangement. I would here call your attention to the apportionment of dividends or interest payable half-yearly. It appears to me that the proportion should be based upon the number of days in the particular half-yearly period in which the dividend or interest arises, and not upon the number of days in a whole year. This will make a substantial difference when large sums have to be apportioned. For instance, from 1st January to 30th June comprises 181 days, whilst from 1st July to 31st December comprises 184 days, and the half-year from Ladyday to Michaelmas comprises 188 days, while between Michaelmas and Lady-day there are only 177 days. The accounts of the Leasehold Property give you particulars of the income arising therefrom, and of the ultimate realisation. The account with the Freehold House, which at first is opened only as a memorandum, shows the settlement with the purchaser ; certain proportions of the taxes to the date of completion being charged off to the life-tenant, and to income respectively. The account of the Household Furniture is at first opened merely as a memorandum ; but upon the death of the widow the realisation is here recorded. Henry Owen's Account shows the half-yearly payments of interest, and the date of repayment of the loan. John Edward's Account shows the half-yearly payments of interest, and the apportionment of interest to the date of ! division of the estate, when the principal sum and the interest accrued are carried forward as an investment for the niece's share. The account following shows that, on the 4th April 1882, l^""^^^^^ the Executors purchased Great Western Eailway Preference Executors. Stock to the value of £16,000, and that, on the date of division of the estate, the value had increased by £218 18s. 8d., which has been carried to the credit of Principal. You will notice that I transfer to income only the proportion of dividend from the date of purchase to the close of the half- year, so that when the dividend is paid the effect is to reduce the cost of the stock by the proportion of dividend accrued to the date of purchase. Before adopting this course I should reconamend an enquiry into the state of the law upon this point, as it appears that the law is opposed to any apportion- ment upon change of investment. My next Account shows the payment of the legacy to the aSui! widow, which is made a matter of account, and then I deal with the annuity to the widow, and this is followed by the Legacy Accounts of the Executors, and the Purchase Account of the nephew, and the Kesiduary Legatees' Accounts of income. From the account with Arthur James Bradshaw, Purchase Purchase of Trade Account. of Trade Account, you will find that, acting upon the discre- tionary power given them by the Will, the Executors allowed the nephew to retain the capital in the business, after giving him credit for his legacy of £10,000, upon condition that he should pay the balance by seven yearly instalments, and should pay interest meanwhile at 5 per cent, per annum. This account further shows that the instalments and interest were regularly paid until the death of the widow, when the whole balance was discharged out of the nephew's share of residue. You will observe that I make a note on this account that vouchers for payment of the Testator's liabilities were produced to the Executors' Accountants. i 16 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS.

Legacy in trnst. In compliance wlth the directions contained in the Will, a sum of £10,000 was set apart for the Testator's niece, but it was never separately invested ; the Executors satisfying them- selves with allowing interest at 4 per cent, on the amount. This interest was added to the principal of the legacy, and the whole transferred to the account with her share of residue, when she attained 21, as there was no longer any reason for keeping the funds apart. I have allowed interest on this sum of £10,000 from the death, but as the Bequest was not to a child of the Testator, there is room to question whether the interest should commence to run before a vear from the death. The next account shows the Legacy Duty paid upon residue and its distribution, and I have filled in particulars of this Kesiduary Account upon form No. 3. You will observe that, although each residuary legatee received a legacy of £10,000, I have not thought it necessary to deal with the duty on these sums apart from the general residue. Arthur James Bradshaw's share of residue is discharged by the balance due from him for purchase of the Testator's trade, and by a payment in cash, and Emily Bradshaw's share together with her legacy and accumulations of Income is carried forward as a trust fund to be invested for her benefit. The income arising from the investments of this Trust Fund will be paid over as received to the life- tenant, and after her death may have to be applied for the maintenance and educa- tion of her children, with whom again separate accounts must Duty on Besidue Shares of Residue. locome of Niece's phure after attain- ing 21. be kept until they are respectively entitled to receive their shares. The Executors have thus, as appears from their accounts, summary of Executors' fulfilled all the directions of the Will, down to the point of cieaiings as shown by retaining the niece's share, as Trustees, for herself and her Accounts, children, or other successors. They have transferred the goodwill of the business to the nephew as well as his specific legacy of £10,000. They have given to the widow the jewels and household stores, and her legacy and annuity. They have after her death sold the furniture and house left for her occu- pation. They have paid all other legacies and can at any moment produce a clear account of their dealings with the estate.

Interest residue, SO that, so far as she is concerned, the Trustees have iS?e8tmen°s a fr3sh Starting point from that date ; but you will observe retained to ,.,,,'. i»u« answer Niece's that the investments which they retam to answer her share carry a certain amount of accrued dividend or interest. (We will pass over the question whether the retaining of these securities is equivalent to a purchase, and so bars any apportionment of dividend.) It will accordingly be necessary in dealing with the produce of these securities to pay over to the niece as income only the balance of dividends and interest from the date of her attaining 21 to the end of the half-year during which the dividend or interest arises. The other portions must be retained by the Trustees, and will be a sum of £432 10s. 3d., for which they must find an investment. It is usual to invest as close up as possible in securities paying a fair rate of interest, and to invest the exact balance for the time being in Consols. In the Trustee's Accounts it will only be necessary to debit each investment with the balance of the half-year's dividend, which will balance the Income column when the Cash is paid. For example, the further debit to the London and North Western Kailway Co., at 31st December, 1884, will be : "To Emily Bradshaw, Income Account, Balance of Half-year's Dividend, 6 days at 4 per cent, less Income Tax, Is. 7d., £3 3s. 7d." When the half-year's dividend, £97 10s., is received, £3 3s. 7d. only will be paid to the tenant for life, and £94 6s. od. will remain in the Trustee's hands for re- investment as part of the principal of the Trust Fund, and the interest on the mortgage and the dividend on the Great Western Railway stock will be dealt with in like manner. Young ladies who are entirely dependent upon their income from such a trust fund are often subjected to some inconvenience at the outset, as they have no funds immediately payable to them, EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. 19 and only a portion of a half-year's income payable to them when the first half-year's dividends are received. The problem of how to live while the corn is growing usually has to be solved by a payment on account of Income by the Executor. From this time this account will be during the niece's life a simple record of the Receipt and Payment of income, subject only to any changes of investment. Upon her death accounts will have to be kept of the chil- S^N^g^^ "^^^ dren's shares during infancy, or, if they are all of age, the fund must be got in and divided. If any reversioner has mortgaged his share and notice thereof has been given to the Executor, it is a good plan to make a note of this upon the accounts. I must again remind you that the account is intended as an illustration only, and not as an exact statement. Where Income Tax is deducted, it is taken at 6d. in the £, although that rate did not rule during the period, and there may be other details in which the working is not strictly accurate, but I trust it will answer the purpose for which it is designed. The form of account I think has many uses and advantages. Firstly, — It is a clear and continuous record of the Advantages of this form of Executors and Trustee's dealings with the estate from the AJcouitf death, and the fact of such an account being kept ensures care in the administration, and is a safeguard against breaches of trust. In addition, the account is always an answer to those troublesome people who are born or married into families, and commence a disturbance because they do not find so much money as they expected, or because the Trustee has offended them (very frequently by declining to commit a breach of trust). Secondhj. — The accounts are so arranged that with very httle trouble the Stamp Duty Accounts can be made out from them, the order and classification of the items in the two Accounts being nearly identical. 20 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. 21 Thirdly. — If any application to the Court of Chancery be necessary in the course of the administration, the Court will often be satisfied with the production of these accounts, while if a detailed cash account be required in the Chancery form, it is readily made up from the statement, and all the usual interrogatories may be readily answered. Fourthly. — It enables the Trustees to furnish the materials for a complete release, and further to bind the beneficiaries by obtaining their signatures to the detailed accounts. Fifthly. — It ensures the receipt of all income, and its proper distribution among the persons entitled to it, and guards against any waste of Principal through inadvertence. Sixthly. — If the accounts are commenced as soon as the Executors have proved the Will they ensure all these advantages at a small cost to the Estate. If these advantages were more generally known I think that Trustees would gladly relieve themselves of labour and responsibility by employing an Accountant. They may, by doing so, have a trustworthy agent who will keep the accounts, send half-yearly or other periodical statements to the bene- ficiaries, take proper receipts, and, in fact, manage all the current business of the trust at a cost to which no legatee can take exception. Complicated Before I finish, I should like to guard you from anv Accounts to be o j j unravelled. impressiou that Executorship Accounts are always capable of being dealt with as easily and clearly as those which I have put before you. Carelessness and disorder are vices to which both Testators and Executors are subject, and frequently an Accountant is employed, because no one without his special training, and the patience which it engenders, could bring order out of the seeming chaos resulting from want of system in recording transactions as they arise. There is no case to which the telegraphic motto of our Insti- tute, " Unravel," applies with so great force as when we are ) dealing with a mass of papers accumulated by a man who is no longer living to furnish a clue to their meaning. It is most fascinating work if you can give your whole thoughts to ^^*J^*^°^*Jj®of it without fear of interruption ; lunch-time comes and goes t^e work, unheeded, and it is not till daylight goes too that you are conscious of weary eyes and aching back, and a still more aching void which compels you to leave that train of evidence incomplete until another day ; and as you walk home, or even when you are half asleep, the figures piece them- selves together, until out of the most imperfect and disjointed records, you can with pride produce a clear continuous account. It is difficult for an Accountant in large practice personally to undertake work of this description ; he has to think and arrange for others, and is subject to too many interruptions, but if from old practice he knows the runs he can set a tried clerk to work and follow his progress with ease, and I should be very much surprised if he could resist the temptation of occasionally plunging in himself. Apart from the accounts an Accountant can often render |^sjstance to valuable aid to an Executor by his training in administrative work. There are often trades to be carried on, financial arrangements to be made, and many things to be done at the moment with a knowledge and promptitude which arises from practice as liquidators and trustees. But I am now dealing with Executorship Accounts, and I will give a few general hints as to the mode of dealing with a Testator's papers when they are first entrusted to you. You will find that all men, no matter how unmethodical they may appear, have a system of dealing with papers and documents ; it may be a very bad and Advantage imperfect system, but it is there, and your first care must be idiosyncrasy. to find it out, as, once found, it will materially assist you in understanding his affairs. Sometimes you may not find it out until you have been engaged for weeks upon the papers, but depend upon it the system is there. Firstly, run quickly 22 EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS. 23 M t?arr?n "°" ^^^^^g^ the papers, discarding all which are manifestly irrele- ment 01 papers, vant, then classify the remainder, and, as far as possible, arrange them in order of date, then proceed to reduce the in- formation which they contain to notes, and you will find that by patient comparison, an unfailing memory, and that trick which Accountants acquire of recalling a figure which they saw an hour or a week before, you can eventually construct a coherent account. We have all found that concentration will enable us to recall two or three amounts scattered over various papers, and mentally adapt them to balance the sum of them which has appeared elsewhere. I will conclude with one word of advice — never to put hasty work into Executors' Accounts. There are so many points to be determined as to the proper destination of each figure, and there are so many subtleties which may be easily over-looked that in this, as in so many cases, your safest motto is " Festina lente." o o o 05 I o a P Q (3 Ci^ CO o e -< o CO CO o o tH V .:: ^ '^ a 2 S ?^ S -_, H^ 'S o h o i» ^ H CO g *< ,s .^^'^ ** « =0 ^ ^ »^ ?S S O o <» Si ^S S *» •*^ ^^ O «o <4> -fci CO ^ ^ '-I 00 oj 00 7* 5 ?^ "^ g ?^ O'rO K> ^ ^'^ ?l S S CO -^ CO S ^■^ ? ?^ S <3 CO O CO CO 5* >* ■^ § «>» ^^ S^ CO o o ex S d • 43 -'d 03 fO OS 0) -*J 3 I— 1 o n3 3Q ^^ s 'S't! d o g eS © • J'QO B ' 5 » < 24 H pa o EXECUTORSHIP ACCOUNTS.

Second and enlarged Edition, price 15s. By Lawrence R. Dicksee, F.C.A. A Practical Manual for Auditors. The first edition of this work being exhausted, it has become necessary for a new edition to be prepared. No effort has been spared in bringing the work absolutely up-to-date, and it has been published as soon as practicable after the decision of the Court of Appeal in the London and General Bank case. It has been found absolutely necessary to add, very materially to the text, and many important matters have been very much more fully dealt with than was previously the case. Tl -js.
