That in carrying on these laborious and expensive Collections, the said Mr. James Law did contract great Debts upon his own Estate, by paying of Servants, and by posting Five several Times to Court, and staying there sometimes a whole Year on his own Charges, expecting to be reimbursed and rewarded by his Majesty, of which he had been frequently assured; but, by Reason of the Difficulties of the Times, and that King's Misfortunes, was disappointed.
