I William Brunton Assessor aforesaid do hereby certify that upon careful examination
I find that the foregoing Duty amounts in whole to the Sum of Fifty Seven Pounds Seventeen
Shillings Sterling: and that upon the 27 Decr [December] 1779 I sent by Post to Thomas Adair Collector

Transcriber's notes

The amount of £57.17.0 is wrong and the Assessor appears to correct it in the "Proof" line, entering £57.15.0, but he still forwards £57.17.0 to the Collector.
