Content description

The case of Fullbrook Tithes. A memorandum in seven clauses, defending the College's right to part of the same. "When the lands of the bishops of Oxon were surveyed in the late unhappy times to be sold, Mr Lenthall gave a particular of Fullbrook as belonging wholly to the Bishops of Oxon, but he would not permit the surveyors to examine it, though they were sworn to do so." "That he had not a good right to the whole seems to appear in this that he would not permit the Parliamentary surveyors to keep their oath and frame a particular according to the testimony of the parishioners but forced a survey upon them in which he returned the tithes of Fulbrook as wholly belonging to the Bsihops of Oxon that so at an easy rate he might buy a more entire and bigger purchase which be his power he doubted not to make good against the College."
