Portsmouth, Va. Feby 21st '76
To the Honl C. W. Hill, judge of the said Court
Your Commissioner reports to Court that Jas D. Brady, guardian of M. W. Manning exhibited before him a statement of all the money which he as such guardian had received, become chargeable with or had disbursed from the 31st day of December 1873 to the 31st day of December 1875, together with the vouchers for such disbursements. That your Commissioner embraced the said Guardian in the list of fiduciaries whose accounts, were before him for settlement which was posted at the front door of the Court House of said city as directed by law and on the day of this report, ten days having elapsed since said account was mentioned in said list, made up and completed the foregoing account and on the 31st day of December 1875 finds a balance due from the Guardian to his ward of one hundred and sixty seven 28/100 dollars. The account is supported by satisfactory vouchers and is herewith returned. It will be seen by reference to the account that a part of the principal of the ward estate has been expended for his support, the commr allowed the same because the estate was small, the income totally insufficient and the expenditures considering the condition of the ward, were absolutely necessary for his support and comfort.
Your Commissioner has examined and finds that the Guardian has given such bond as the law requires and in a penalty and with securities sufficient. Given under my hand as Commissioner of Account of the Court of Hustings for the City of Portsmouth on the day and year aforesaid.

Office of Commissioner of Accounts of the
Court of Hustings for the City of Portsmouth,
Portsmouth, Va., May 29th 1878
To the Hon C. W. Hill Judge of said Court
Your Commissioner reports to the Court that J. D. Brady Guardian of M. W. Manning exhibited before him a statement of all the money, which he as such Guardian had received, become chargeable with or had disbursed from the date of his last account up to the 4th day of January 1878 together with the vouchers for such disbursements, that your commissioner embraced the said Guardian in the list of fiduciary whose accounts were before him for settlement, which was posted at the front door of the Court House of said city; as directed by law and on the date of this report, ten days having elapsed him in said account was mentioned in said list, made up and completed the foregoing account and on the 4th day of January 1878 finds a balance due from the Guardian to his ward of $55.11. The account is supported by satisfactory vouchers and is herewith returned. It will be seen by the account that a part of the principal of the estate has been expended on the wards support, this was absolutely necessary as the estate was so small that the income alone would be inadiquate to supply tho smallest wants. The Guardian has given such bond as the law requires and in a penalty and with securities sufficient. Given under my hand as Commissioner of Accounts of the Court of Hustings for the City of Portsmouth on the day and year aforesaid.
