(Mr Friends Tenant) to propose that Windows be made in that part
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of the building looking into his own Yard which can easily be done and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which it is conceived will be also much more agreeable and convenient
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to the Tenant That Mr Keeling having conversed accordingly with
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Mr Friend Mr Friend attended this Committee and declared himself
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
willing to accomodate the matter whereupon Mr Friend was asked the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
following questions (vizt) 1st whether he would take a Lease of the Wall in
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
dispute of the Justices to which Mr Friend replyed that being himself
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
but the Lessee of the adjoining premises did not think it proper to take
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
a Lease of the Wall from the Justices. 2dly As it is apprehended the Wooden
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Building may be dangerous in case of fire to part of the Goal and as Mr
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Friend will receive a considerable advantage from the under part of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Wall in case of its being considered as a party Wall Whether he would
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
run up a Brick Wall above the Building belonging to the Goal at his
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
own expence to guard against such Danger to which Mr Friend said
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
That he had let the wooden House on Lease to Mr Nightingale and that
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
he could not give any Answer either as to the Wall or Wooden Building
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
but referred the Committee to Mr Nightingale. 3rdly As the new Building
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in the Goal will stop up the lights in the wooden Building Whether
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Mr Friend will not make Windows in that part of the building looking
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
into his own Yard to which Mr Friend answered That he entirely
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
gives up all claim of right to the lights in the said Wooden Building
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
on that side next the Prison. That the Committee apprehend the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
lights in the Brick Building at the end of the Wall to be so ancient
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that the Landlord of the same has a right thereto and therefore they
<
lb
>
</
lb

recommended it to the Justices not to molest him in the enjoyment
<
lb

</
lb

thereof. That Mr Nightingale being desir'd to attend this Committee
<
lb

</
lb

and being present accordingly and expressing himself very desirous
<
lb

</
lb

of putting a final end to the matter in dispute The Committee viewed
