Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular and ratal of a piece of ground
in St. Giles in the Fields, called Marsh Land, petitioned
for by Thomas Neale, ut supra, p. 1195,
with a view to a grant to him thereof in fee for
ever at the fee farm rent of 3l. per an. and on payment
of 791l. into the Exchequer.
Prefixing : report, dated 1691, Aug. 7, by Deputy
Surveyor William Tailer on said Neale's petition
for same. The premises were lately granted to
Neale for 18 years in reversion of 42 years remaining
on a former grant made to Sir Richard Stiddolph :
there being only some old houses standing thereon,
it was passed to Stiddolph at the old rent of 3l.
per an., but petitioner, in hopes of improving the
premises by agreement with the executors of said
Stiddolph, was content to have the rent advanced
to 100l. per an. and paid a fine also, but he now
finds the increase of rent to be an obstruction to
his design of improvement, "because every house
he erected on the premises will be liable to the
whole rent to the Crown," and therefore now desires
to buy off the additional rent of 97l. per an. The
premises are now valued at 120l. per an. I advise
a fine of 400l. or 500l. and 291l. for buying off the
increased rent. |
