I Robert Aiken Surveyor aforesaid Do hereby Certify that
upon careful Examination of the foregoing Rates and Duties I find that they
amount to Twenty nine pounds Sterling which with ten per Cent thereon
being Two pounds Eighteen shillings Sterling makes the whole amount
to be Thirty one pounds Eighteen Shillings Sterling and that upon
the Twelfth day of December Current delivered to Mr John
Watt Collector of the Said Taxes for said Burgh at his office an exact
duplicate of and duly examined and compared with the foregoing account
which contained my oath that notifications were delivered or left of the
dates foresaid and that the rates and Duties therein charged were just
and true to the best of my skill and knowledge, and to the best of my belief
no person liable to be charged was omitted.
Robert Aiken

Transcriber's notes

The month in which the survey was done is unclear.

In the Proof section the part which states that Notifications were left, the word in brackets should probably be "rates" but definitely looks like "dates"
