exhibited, of $1.50 cents for half of the expenses of surveying the a farm aforesaid, according to the lease of the same, and the whole of which expense said Kreigh has paid-and of $3.50 cents for seven days attendance on this court in this case, the agregate sum of which credits being deducted from the aggregate sum of his said indebtedness leaves as he believes the afore said sum of $40.47 cents-
