Is anyone able to decipher the missing words at the bottom of the table after "Allotments," please? Also, can anyone figure out number 12's middle name?

The letter and strikes near monetary number indicate money systems of the British colonial system during the early 1800s. Most likely shillings and pence but would need to double check.

I believe that "Henry Preiss" should be "Henry Swiss," but I am unable to correct the document, that has been set in its final upload.

The term boiling down was used to refer to the process of rendering animal fat into tallow. Seems that it became a bit of an industry from 1840s onwards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_down

@nixe I think you did well enough with the columns. This site has limited table formatting so you can't make the lines in a table invisible, otherwise cursivefancier or some senior transcriber would have figured it out by now.
