concurrence of my other executors and 
supervisors hereinafter named, or give 
an acquittance, or acquit, release, or 
render any one of them acquitted, or in 
any manner whatever presume to make 
an agreement with any one of those 
possessors, depositaries, or debtors about 
not taking further proceedings for the 
recovery of any debts, goods, things, or 
property of this kind. But if by any 
one of them [my executors} it shal] be 
otherwise done, carried out, or pro- 
ceeded with in any way whatsoever.from 
this present time I declare that to be 
void, and will it to be of no validity or 
weight, and by way of extra caution

each of them, all power of every kind 
of doing such things. In like manner 
also, whatever has been left by me to 
him or them so doing I will to be 
treated altogether as no legacy. 
Also, I leave to each of my esquires 
wholive in my house six marks of silver, 
and to each valet in my house, 40s, 
Also, to John Ramsbury,* Richard 
Hayman,t and William Cox,f my clerks, 
five marks each. 
Also, I leave to Thomas Wood 10 
marks, and to his wife one of my vests. 
Also, I leave to my nephew, George 
Polton, that tenement of mine situate 
in Marlborough, which I allotted to him 
before in the present will, on con- 
dition as mentioned above, and in no 
other way ormanner. So also, that those 
two, George and Thomas, are content 
with these legacies, without any more.§ 
_* John Rammesbury. Is he the same as the Clerk of the Kitchen mentioned 
_. ¥ One Richard Hayman was Prebendary of Oxford, then of Bishopstone, 1449 
_ ¥ William Cockes, possibly the same man who was Succentor of Sarum Cathe- 
_ § No specific legacy seems to have been made to Thomas, the testator’s 
nephew—he may have enjoyed the reversion to the tenement in Marlborough, as
