An Historical Review of the Royal Marine Corps, from its Original Institution down to the Present Era, 1803

by Major Alexander Gillespie

The stated fees of Proctors are as follow, and with them I shall close an Appendix, which, I humbly trust, will prove of general benefit. Every remark which it contains is alike applicable in pursuing the interests of the heirs of Seamen as well as of Marines.

For seal, parchment, writing, and suing forth the probate granted to the Executors of any Marine whose property is 20l.	£0	15	2
To Proctor on letters of administration on do. when 20l.	1	4	2
	————
To Proctor for probate when property is 40l.	£1	8	8
Do. letters of administration when do. do.	1	17	8
	————
To Proctor for probate when property is 60l.	£1	11	2
To do. letters of administration when do. do.	2	8	6
	————
To Proctors for probate when property is 100l.	£1	13	8
Do. letters of administration when do. do.	2	11	0

If the funds exceed my statements, the charges progressively become augmented, of which any Proctor can inform, as they are uniformly limited.
