Amhle and Hauxley. By J. C. Hodgson. 287 



inquisition that the said William Radcliffe died seized of (amongst 

 other things) all those four farms in Amble aforesaid called the Hope- 

 house, and all those two farms in Hauxley aforesaid called Hauxley 

 fields, and all those three farms with the coney-warren in Todston, otherwise 

 Togston-moor-house, commonly called the Low-hall, and of 32 old holla 

 and 4 bushels or 98 new bolls of bigg, paid every Candlemas day by 

 the tenants of Amble aforesaid. And I further make oath and say 

 that the said antient reserved rent of barley is now paid by various 

 properties in the said township of Amble, each property paying in 

 proportion to the antient reputed farms comprised in each such property, 

 (that is to say) the said 14 antient farms in the township of Amble 

 are generally liable to pay 196 Winchester bushels, which constitute 

 98 new bolls ; my estate in the said township of Amble pays 42 

 Winchester bushels, and my said brothers' estate of New-hall aforesaid 

 pays 42 bushels, being at the rate of 14 bushels per antient farm, and 

 as I verily believe the other landowners in the said township of Amble 

 pay after the like proportion of 14 bushels per antient farm for their 

 several properties, so as to make up the entire quantity of 196 

 Winchester bushels. And I further make oath and say that I am the 

 owner of an estate in the township of Hauxley aforesaid, which 

 contributes to divers rates and payments in proportion to one antient 

 reputed farm of which it consists, in like manner as my said estate 

 in the township of Amble aforesaid. And I further make oath and 

 say that among the muniments and title deeds, relating to my said 

 estates, is an indenture of release, dated 24th November 1808, and 

 made between the Rev. Jos. Cook, clerk, and Sarah Widdrington his 

 wife, and Samuel Edward Cook of the 1st part ; David Latimer Tinling 

 and Sarah Widdrington his wife, and George John Widdrington Tinling of

 the 12th part : it was among other things covenanted and agreed 

 that all and every of the premises therein before, described, situate 

 within the township of Hauxley aforesaid, and limited in use to the 

 said Edwards Werge, his heirs and assigns, should be deemed and taken 

 and considered to be one whole farm, and that the messuage and 

 premises therein before, described, situate within the township of 

 Amble aforesaid, and limited to the use of the said Edwards Werge, 

 should at all times thereafter be deemed taken and considered to be 

 three farms and a quarter of a farm, and that the premises situate 

 in Amble aforesaid, belonging to and reserved by them, the said Jos- 

 Cook and Sarah Widdrington his wife; Samuel Edward Cook, David 

 Latimer Tinling and Sarah Widdrington his wife, and George John 

 Widdrington Tinling, should at all times thereafter be deemed taken and
