Endorsed:—"An Exemplificac'on at the requeste of Thomas Bassett gent. Salter."
Note.—The above Charter is written on two skins, one large and one small. The Great Seal, in yellow wax, bearing on one side an effigy of Elizabeth enthroned, and on the other side of Elizabeth on horseback, is affixed with strips of parchment. It has been largely repaired.
N.B.—By a clerical error, this document, while referring to the Charter of "Richard Nevell," commences its rehearsal of that Charter with the words "Edward Neville." (See No. XVI.) It contains also a few other insignificant mistakes in the copying from the older Charters.
[Translation.]
