The ten thousand pound standard (small digression onto Emma) Written by Tom P2 (9/16/2010 10:11 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Short of a claim to the match, penned by Catherine Ann

Just doing the arithmetic, it sounds like the lawyer uncle has estimated a nice round ten thousand as the dowry Sir Thomas deserves to marry.

Another example of that rounding is Augusta Hawkins's dowry of so many thousands as would always be called ten in Emma ch22.
