A few names, perhaps of temporary occupiers of pasture 

 gates, are missing', Thomas Anderson, alias Fox, and Todd 

 were probably tenants of John Alford, Esquire, of Fawley 

 Court, Wilts, lessee of the Rectory and tithes of Sutton.

 a Special Commission of four persons to set them out. 

 They agreed as to several items of the claim, but differed 

 about a tenement called Bursiland, in Sutton, sometime 

 let to Thomas Foxe, and a bovate or oxgang of land 

 called Bursiland, in Sutton and Sudcoats, lately held by
