As to the small balance reported as being due from Isaac Scott and Patsey his wife they are to small for seperate decrees authorising exceutions to issue on fain of each party whereby the amount would be geatly augmented with costs the court doth therefore adjudge order and decree that the Isaac Scott pay to Samuel Garland who is appointed to recover for the purpose the whole amount to wit fifteen dollars and ninty eight cents with interest thereon from the 31 day of Feb. 1835 till paid. this ends the cause except as to the two doubtful debts outstanding mentioned in the report which if ever collected will be subject to distrubation and as to the costs: and the cause court adjudged order and decree that the said Jonas Pierce pay to the plaintiffs their costs by them about their witnesses their behalf."
