July 1685

1685. July 2. Reference to William Harbord, Surveyor General of Crown Lands, of the petition of John Taylor, esq. (as by a reference from the King dated Whitehall, 1685, June 6), petitioner shewing that in 1672 he made a discovery of certain lands called Barrenstowne[Baronstown] and Conygar in Ireland belonging to the present King (then Duke of York) and had a promise of a moiety thereof on recovery, but the Crown was surprised into a grant thereof to Sir John Bellew. In place thereof petitioner has now made a discovery of certain lands in Cheshire demised by the late King to Mary Grenwell and 200 acres of other lands called Wallasey Pool in said county overflowed by the sea. Therefore prays a lease of said lands. Reference Book III, p. 264.
