What is this?

1802
[Name] Colonarie Vale  
 

Articles of Agreement dated 20/01/1802, between Nathaniel Snell, Robert Lang, John Turing and the Rt Hon. Lord Reay (late Eric Mackay) of London merchants and sometime since partners of George Baillie, of the one part and Walter Coningham of St Vincent but at present in London of the other. It summarised a deed of 1794 whereby Raymond Dubois, Samuel Bridgman Windsor and Robert Elmes Henville had conveyed the Colonarie Vale estate to Snell etc. to whom they were indebted. Their equity of redemption was then sold in 'July last' [1801] to Walter Coningham and William Alexander, when the debt was calculated at £12,262 1s 3d (including unpaid interest). Walter Coningham claimed - the Snell group did not accept - that they held £1822 1s 3d from the estate. The Snell group (who had taken over George Baillie's previous interest) agreed with Coningham's proposal that he would secure his debt to them by his bills of exchange accepted by William Coningham of London for £5379 10s and William Alexander's for the same amount, also accepted by William Coningham.
