I. 



I HE following are exact copies, except in the spelling, 

 of two original MSS. which were in my possession. 

 Unfortunately they were in a library drawer — apart 

 from the other Deeds — for the purposes of this 

 article, and consequently perished in the fire which, on 19th 

 Dec. last, destroyed nearly the whole contents of my house — 

 The Leas, Wirksworth — otherwise the transcripts would have 

 been revised and the old spelling more correctly rendered. 

 Three other, like Deeds, shared the same misfortune. They 

 certified as to the carrying out of these decisions — the delivery 

 to Margaret Howe of her goods, even to the baby clothes, &c., 

 provided by her parents, the payment of the money on " the 

 high Altar" of the Church at Chapel-en-le-Frith and other 

 like matters.
