198 NOTICE OF TWO ANCIENT DEEDS RELATING TO HAMBURY. 



If the crowded state of a lawyer's office renders it necessary to 

 clear out such "rubbish," a safe repository exists at the Public 

 Record Office and the MSS. Department of the British Museum, 

 to say nothing of Local Museums and Literary Institutions such 

 as the admirable Salt Library at Stafford, where such documents 

 would be gladly received and safely preserved.
