The Case of the Auncient TENANTS of the late Deane and Chapters of Durham .

THat they held their respective Tenements by Lease , from twenty one years to twenty one yeares for ever , at a fine certain , different from most Tenants in other Deanaryes .

That in consideration thereof , It was ordered by the honourable Committee for removing obstructions , &c. 17. October 1649.

That in their respective purchases , an abatement or reprize should be made valuably , proportionable to their way of holding ; And afterwards it was resolved , that the same should be reported to the House .

It is therefore prayed by the Petition of Capt. John Shaw , and others in behalfe of the said Tenants .

That a Reprize may be ordered of some certaine part of their purchase-money , or that they may be admitted to make their second payments out of the one hundred and 20 thousand pounds , to be advanced by way of doubling .

For these reasons ,

1. In consideration of their case so just and equitable , and so much different from the Tenants of other Denearies . 2. Of the povertie , and great pressures , by the dayly march and quartering of Armies much increased by their vicinitie to Scotland . 3. For that they had no benefit of the former doubling , being some moneths compleated before they purchased , and therefore bought their bils for making their first payments at very deere rates .
