Content description
Quitclaim, by the Provost and College to the lessees of the foregoing lease of 4 quarters of the 10 quarters of wheat rent and 24 quarters of the malt. This is done in consideration that Thomas Ivie has surrendered a former lease of the premises with a great many years yet to run, in which the rent only of £40 is reserved and £22 of the said £40 is due and payable by the freeholders and copyholders of the manor and for perquisites of courts, which £22 the said Thomas, Elizabeth and Philip are only to receive of the freeholders and copyholders and to pay the same over again to the College; and for that the said lessees are not to receive any benefit therefrom but charge and hindrance and many times loss; and for that it is not intended, as the College do conceive, by the statute of 18 Elizabeth that any rent should be paid in corn of lands which should happen to be demised by any College unto which no tithes, arable land, meadow or pasture or other profit of corn or hay doth appertain, and yet it rests in doubt whether any less than the whole third part of the last usual rent may be reserved upon any such demise or of any such manors and lands without making the said demise void in law; as also in consideration of £10 paid to the College.
The College Seal, red wax, on doubled tag, chipped at edge of left and at top and bottom.
