Bidspirit auction | State of Application of fund

State of Application of fund of Late Henry Butler 1819 - Appears to tbe the final balance sheet of a Gentleman after his passing - resulting in the disbursement of £517 in 1819 to 3 family members in equal shares.  Equivalent to approx £65,000 in today's money - but you certainly got more bang for your buck in 1819. In 1819, the price of bread in England was high, heavily influenced by the Corn Laws, typically costing around 9d to 10d (pence) for a 4lb (quartern) loaf
