gives out, and ld. for every receipt he gives for quarterage, to be
accounted for as follows:
One-third to himself in lieu of salary, he being to pay three clerks out
of it.
One-third to the clerks and other officers among them.
And one-third to defray the incident charge of the office.

All the charge being thus paid out of such a trifle as ld. per quarter,
