[110]. In a letter from his father, dated 22d of December, 1756, we find the following curious account of the sale of Clive's establishment:—
| "The coach | £40 0 0 |
| "Pair of horses | 40 0 0 |
| "A grey riding horse | 12 12 0 |
"One horse broke his neck; another fell backwards; and one pair kept to go in a chaise."
From this statement of property, we infer that Clive, while in England, must have lived very expensively.
[111]. This is independent of the sum he had paid for Styche.
[112]. This appears, from Clive's letter to his agent, Mr. King, of 6th of October, 1756.
[113]. 29th of April, 1755.
[114]. Lord Powis.
[115]. Sir Edward Clive, a near relation, who always acted as one of Clive's agents.
[116]. 27th of December, 1757.
