thereof was by letters patent from the late King
James, dated 1603, May 20, to Thomas Mesey
and Thomas Purcell, gent., for the lives of Mathew
Mesey and William Blondon for the longer liver
of them without rent, both of whom, the Auditor is
informed, are dead. The other parcels [desired
by Beck] the Auditor cannot readily find, but being
small, he conceives some of them may have been
granted with greater things and others passed out
in fee, so that until they can be better ascertained
by the records or set out by inquisition or certificate
from some of the tenants of the manor of Knighton
or other knowing persons inhabiting near thereto,
there cannot conveniently be any grant made
thereof. As to the said tolls of cattle in Knighton
they seem to be out of lease, and fell but very lately
into the King's hands (though 'tis above 75 years since
said grant for the lives of Mesey and Blondon, the
last whereof, the petitioner alleges, died but last
month) and are certified by the Parliament's survey in
1650 to be of such cattle as are brought up to or
sold in the market of Knighton once a week, and at
two fairs there in a year, the tolls whereof were then
valued at 20l. per an. : "but I am informed they
are not so much worth now, being since much
impaired by making many grasiers and others
free burgesses of that town which exempts them
from paying of toll." A lease may be granted of
them to petitioner, no relation of the last lessees
suing for them.
