Record the collections individually as Assets:Current Assets:Cash received from the appropriate Income: account, one on the 22nd July, the second on the 29th.

When you come to deposit the cash in the current account the cash moves from Assets:Current:Cash to Assets:Current:Bank - the original sources of the cash aren’t relevant at this point.

The same applies to Cheques Received - the reason the cheque was received is recorded as it is received, and a bunch of cheques can be paid into the current account without having to specify what the cheques are for.
