Content description
Llanwern.
Charles Van to unnamed Fellow of Eton: he has been served with a citation from the Ecclesiastical Court of Llandaff to answer the complaint of Mr Skinner for subtraction of tithes due on Priory woods, which Van holds of the College. No tithe has ever been payable because the woods belonged to Goldcliff Priory. He hopes the College will indemnify him if he defends it, since otherwise he would prefer to pay the tithes than incur expenses of a law suit. PS. He is preparing a new survey of Goldcliff preparatory to treating for a new lease.
Endorsed: Mr Van Tithes of Prior's Wood Septr - 65
