Content description
Whichcott v. Morgan.
Notes taken by counsel, probably Thomas Weaver who subscribed it, headed 'Goldcliffe directions out of Sir Henrie Savill his observacions' [Savile was Provost of Eton from March 1596 to February 1622 so his observations may have related to the case between Haswell and others and Baker]:
The question in Chancery is whether the copyholders of Goldcliff, upon descent and alienations, are to pay a certain fine of 2s. an acre or an arbitrary one. It is not denied that the third kind of copyhold, where the land has escheated to the lord and is then purchased from him, is arbitrary.
The notes refer to the most material statements out of the depositions for the College.
Signed by Thomas Weaver.
