This very interesting document shows exactly what 

 was granted to Lord Cutts, and disposes of Luttrell's 

 fancy valuation of West Harting at .2000 instead of 

 ;6oo per annum. But it does not take notice of the 

 fact that King William had no power over the estate 

 after the death of the outlawed Secretary. In those 

 troublous times no one could say whether what was 

 loyalty one year might not be treason the next, and 

 accordingly few lands were suffered to be without the 

 protection, as necessary as the modern insurance to 

 present property, of an entail. And as in 1686 its entail 

 saved East Harting under James 1 1., so in 1 696 its entail 

 saved West Harting under William III. John Caryll, 

 the outlawed Secretary, was old, and his life interest 

 proved to be all that could be taken from him, so after 

 all Lord Cutts found the 2000 a-year melted down 

 to about ,600 (say 1,800 of our present money) for 

 ten years, and the gilt was taken off the gingerbread. 

 Meanwhile in April and in the May of this year 1696 

 John Caryll III., nephew of the Secretary, and Pope's 

 friend (henceforth to be called the " Squire," as he was 



Richard Caryll, younger brother of the Secretary, was bap- 

 tized at Harting, 2oth Sep., 1635. He was the father of Pope's 

 friend.
