This bill was sent in to Mr Clitherow by Rimell above a year after Mrs Heddin died though he had never given the least hint about it before when he paid rent or saw Mr Clitherow as he frequently had done

Copy of receipts given by Mrs Heddin to Mr Rimell 18 Oct 1780

October 18 1780 Rec’d of Mr William Rimell Sixty pounds in full for two years Rent of the Bell Inn at Isleworth due to me at Michas last – I say recd the same ……. M H – Witness (signed) Thos Wilkinson

This is the account settled between Rimell & Mrs Heddin on her giving up the demand of half a years rent she had distrained for and always insisted was never paid, though an interlined receipt for it was produced.  Mutual receipts were then given as above & the annexed paper, & the Bill never mentioned or demanded.

ACC 1360/103/13

Sir

I am under the necessity of calling my creditors together and when I paid Mr Thomas Richard this half years Rent I did not think to acquaint him that there stands in my Ledger against Mrs Martha Heddin for Liquors I delivered fourteen Pounds Three shillings and Ten Pence which I don’t doubt but you will settle out of a years Rent due at St Michel last past.

I am sir

Your most obedient

Humble Servant

Eliz: Porter who lived as Servant with Mrs Heddin from January 1767 to the day of her Death declares Mrs H never bought any wine or Brandy or other Liquors of Rimell except a few bottles of raisin wine once which she paid for; that Rimell used sometimes when the old lady was out of humour with him for not paying his rent, would call on her with a bottle of wine or shrub, or a present, but is positive never in such quantities as charged.

Observe the three last articles in the Bill correspond with the above account, given before she saw the Bill and see also a Bill and Receipt for those Articles only 9s : 0d signed M Rimell in which Bill delivered there is not one Article previous to it charged;  Also see a receipt in full signed of all Demands signed Wm Rimell dated Oct 18, 1780 - & other Receipts in full of all demands previous to that.

Also when Mrs Heddin distrained on Rimell in 1780, she thinking he had imposed on her by a false Receipt either forged or altered & thereby had defrauded her of a years Rent which was never cleared up, though Mrs Heddin gave up the point and paid his costs this the interposition of Mr Rimell’s friends, yet on settling the account though a Bill of 1 : 11 : 6 was brought in for Coach Hire, no mention or notice of this Bill is in the Account then stated & the Receipt then given.

Lastly though Mr Clitherow directed the Servants at her Death to call in all Bills & publicly declared the same among all the Isleworth Tradesmen she dealt with, Mr Rimell never mentioned or sent in the Bill now claimed or any other & even though he paid Mr Richards, Mrs Clitherows Receiver, half a years Rent last summer & lately called on Mr Clitherow with an excuse for not paying another half year, has he even since her death mentioned to Mr Clitherow or his agent Mr Richards, any such demands.

The conclusion Mr Clitherow draws from the above premises is that the Demand is fraudulent & therefore will not pay it.

 John Anthony Dyckhoff’s Gift

 John Anthony Dyckhoff, by his will, dated the 9^th day of August 1746 gave £50 to the churchwardens of Isleworth, to be laid out by them in Government securities, and directed that the interest accruing thereon, after the death of his widow and daughter, should be received by the churchwardens, and be paid over to the overseers of the poor for the time being, to be by them applied for and towards the relief of the poor of the said parish of Isleworth for ever.

 This legacy was invested in £50 South Sea annuities, in the names of Benjamin Angel and John Bell, who are both dead.  John Farnell and James Norris have been appointed trustees in their stead.

 The dividends used till within these few years to be carried to the overseers general account.  It has lately occurred to the parish officers, that this money ought to be specifically applied; and it has for the last year or two been carried to the bread account, and will be so appropriated in future.
