The Treasurer being informed by Mr. Coats, that you
<
lb

</
lb

have marked out a considerable number of Pollards to Cut
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
down for Fire Wood, All of which, or the greater part, Mr.
<
lb

</
lb
>
Coats does not think comes within the Tenor of your Lease,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
& therefore you are not empowered to Cad them down But
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
not to depend altogether upon what Mr. Coats hold him, the
<
lb
>
</
lb

Treasurer has Consulted M Morse upon the occasion, & it is as
<
lb

</
lb

clear to that Gent. as any thing in the World can pefectly he,
<
lb
>
</
lb

that you have not the last night to them. He is aware

<

of the Words in your Lease, upon which your pound your

Right. Dead Bodies & Trunks of Pollards. The adjective
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Dead, refers, as much to the Trunks, as to the Bodies of Pollards,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and therefore while there
<

grows a Leaf upon them,
<
lb

</
lb

they cannot be called Dead, This being the Case, not only
<
lb

</
lb

Leases, but large Tops or Banches being now growing upon
<
lb

</

them, must make it self evident to any person whatever,
<
lb

</
lb

that they do not come within the Clause of your Lease,
<
lb

</
lb

which Assigns those only for Fire Wood, that are really Dead.
<

Therefore to presence the Friendship that now subs

preservation of the Rights and Immunities of this Hospl.

and Yourself, and as they are determine strictly to

abide by the Covenants in your Lease, and not suffer

</

any Wart to the made contrary to the express meaning

thereof, so the lease inpingment on your part, cannot but

be attended with disagreeable circumstances to bath, I hope
<

you will therefore further Consider the promisses, which if
<

you do, you must in the end be of the same opinion

with them, & consequently, will, Resign all

the living Pollards, as Fire Wood.
