Farrington lately purchased the house called the White Bull adjoining the cottage, which he has since pulled down to re-edify the same. He asks a fee-farm of the cottage to join his house and he will pay the accustomed rent and a fine. Note of voting re the same: granted, paying £20 fine and 20s. rent p.a. |
