And wee are of Opinion that all these Charges & Expences

Except the Charge of the said new wall are no more then what he

And as to ye Charge of the new wall wee are Informed that ye
<

repaires of the old wall was computed at least to be one Hundred

</
lb

Pounds P Ann Charge which from the year 1703 when the New

wall was made) to the End of Mr: Collyere Lease (being then Nine
<

</

teen years to come) might be reckoned at £1900: and if as Mr:
<

</

Collyer alledges the new wall is made it strong & substantiall
<

</

that it will be a safe sence for the Land within it during all his Term
<

</

and will require but a very small Annuall Charge to repaire it
<
lb

</

Then wee are of Opinion that Mr. Collyer by laying out Six or Seven
<
lb

</
lb

Hundred pounds at Prsent in makeing the said new wall has done
<
lb

</
lb

an Act by which soe will save many Hundred pounds of that

And upon the reasons before menconed & in regard that
<

</

upon a full Enquiry made into the value of the Estate now held
<
lb

</

by him of this Hospitall Wee are well satisfied that the same
<

</

was lett to him upon such reasonable Termes That it may very
<

</
lb

probably at the End of his Lease yield a much greater fine then
<
lb

</

he paid for the same Wee are of opinion that this Hospitall lyes

under no direct obligation to make him any allowance for the

said Charges and Expences

But nevertheless wee Considering that these charges were

Considerably encreased by the violent storme of wind and some

Extraordinary Tydes which have hapned since the Comencemt

of his Lease Wee are of opinion that the wast which was
