the third or fourth articles of this chapter shall be allowed the sum of
five per centum on the net produce of all his estate, that shall be
received by the assignees, to be paid to him by them, in case such net
produce, after such allowance made, shall be sufficient to pay the
creditors of such debtor, entitled to a dividend, the sum of seventy
cents on the dollar, on the amount of their debts respectively, as the
same shall have been ascertained; but the said allowance shall not
