Content description
Draft of Henry Savile, Eton College, to Dr Cosen, Dean of the Arches, concerning the matter before him and others in the High Commission of charging the College with £4 yearly towards the officing of the chapel of Warning Camp, for which by composition the College is only liable for £3 6s 8d. Perhaps bishop Curtese did not know the precise wording of the composition, or at that time the tenant refused to pay even the five marks. At all events the College cannot acquiese in an encroachment upon its freehold. He asks Cosen to "shew that resonable favour that the equity of the cause may deserve, whether it be by endinge it in favour of the Collidge or in gevinge our tenant a longer terme to informe the Court, if he doe require it, or be dismissing it to the Common law, to which in my understandinge it doth belonge."
