Warrant from Treasurer Danby to the Clerk of the
Pipe for a lease to Richard Kendal of the woods,
underwoods and woodlands called Poilscoth
(Polscoith) Wood in the manor of Penlyne and
county and Duchy of Cornwall : all for 99 years
from Sept. 29 last determinable on three lives at
the rent of 20l. per an. and a fine of 20l. payable
to the Receiver General of the Duchy of Cornwall.
Prefixing : (a) particular of the premises by Deputy
Auditor James Symes. Premises are not in charge
before me under any rent : but I find 6d. charged
among the convencionary rents of said manor for
the herbage and pannage of said wood as granted
by the Commissioners for assessioning the said
manor in the 19th year of Queen Elizabeth to
William Kendall (said wood being then described
as both above and below the wood leading from
Lostwithiel to Launceston) for seven years at
6d. per an. : which herbag hath been so taken up
and assessioned for from seven year to seven year
ever since and before that time. "I find in the
woodward's account for the said Duchy made
in the second and third years of King Philip and
Queen Mary that there was answered 10l. 10s. 0d.
for seven acres of underwood cutt within the manor
of Penlyne at 30s. the acre, besides one acre allowed
for waste and also in the 11th year of Queen
Elizabeth there was answered by the woodward the
sum of 6l. 13s. 4d. for the price of two acres of
underwood called firewood within the said manor
of Penlyne in a certain wood called Polscow Wood
of 80 years' growth and sold by the said accomptant
for 66s. 8d. the acre. All which I conceive to be
parcel of the wood above mentioned, for there
is not another, as I am informed, within the said
manor ; but the quantity of acres I cannot certify ;
yet have heard by some persons it contains 18 acres,
and by others not above 12 acres, and that it was
felled in the late tymes of trouble by those who
purchased the same of the late pretended
authority."
(b) Ratal of said particular by Tho. Fisher, deputy
to Surveyor General Sir Charles Harbord. The three
lives are to be nominated by said Richard Kendall
being authorised thereto by John Day, gent., the
petitioner as is certified by Nicholas Courtney, Esq.,
who moved the same for said Day. The herbage
and pannage of said wood is now in the tenure of said
Kendall's father and has been held by him and
his ancestors for several generations, according
to the custom of the manor granted by the
Commissioner at the usual assession held for the
same every seven years, at the ancient rent of 6d.,
payable among the conventionary rents there,
which customary estate and rent is now to be
drowned by this lease.
