 BOYD V. BOYD. 143 �is proper to state that àll their funds will be found in the hands of my merchants in New Orleane, invested in commer- cial paper, except what stands in their own names on the books of W. A. Britton & Co., in Natchez. The account in New Orleans, for convenience, is headed ' S. S. Boyd Agenoy.'

Ernest, which I refer to, not to make it a part of my will, but simply for private reference and satisfaction. �"16. For the information of my family I state that the partnership property referred to herein consists, in prœsenti, of the following plantations, inoluding the slaves and aU other things belonging thereto, i.e., 'Magnolia,' 'Lipun,' 'Kamae,' 'Elcho,' and 'Cut Post,' with some wild lands adjoining Kar- nae and a lot under the hill in Natchez. The state of the accounts of each of these places will appear by the books of our merchants in New Orleans, and have always been so kept as to show the payments made by each of us, and the debits. and credits entered accordingly as between us, or each of us, and said places respectively, and no account between us indi- vidually in respect to any partnership matter ever having been kept or intended. For any matters not appearing on said books the private memorandum books and papers of each other have always been and are to be taken as true. [SBAL.] "Sam. s.
