And that 1 has agreed to an absolute purchase from 2 of the below-mentioned properties. 1 has taken on the said mortgage sum of £300 to the said Susan Goodman, and also agrees to pay 8 shillings per week to 2 and allows them to occupy the cottage later described. Therefore 2 surrenders the following to the Manor of Somersham with the Soake. Parcel of pasture land (4 and a half acres) called the Milking Place in Earith, lying opposite to the Angel public house, late in the occupation of George Fletcher and to which 2 was admitted tenant at a special court by virtue of a bargain and sale under the will of Mr William Marson, deceased. Also a messuage occupied by George Fletcher and then by 2 and John Jackson. Also a cottage nearby occupied by Timothy Marriott. Also another cottage adjoining occupied by Joseph Humphrey.
