Title of John Le Mesurier and John Mico Winter to a moiety each of the rent of £10 per annum for two messuages in Homerton (south side of Homerton Street) leased by Peter Perchard to George Ferry in 1792

Following a decree in Chancery, it is certified that John Dent and John Wormald are appointed trustees of the will of Francis John Tyssen, in place of Richard Benyon deceased; that the whole of the testator's personal estate was insufficient to pay his debts, legacies and funeral expenses, but these have all been met from the proceeds of the real estate; and that the monies received by the executors have been properly applied. [Property in Homerton was sold to Peter Perchard]

1. John Mico Winter of Shenley Hill, Herts, esq. and Rachel his wife (nee Perchard) John Le Mesurier, Governor of Alderney and Major in H.M. Army and Martha his wife (nee Perchard)
2. Benjamin Le Mesurier, of the City of London
Peter Perchard had purchased from the trustees of the will of Francis John Tyssen a close of meadow or pasture (6 acres) on the south side of Homerton Street, bounded on the south by a stream, later several messuages with outbuildings and gardens, and another messuage with garden on the south side of Homerton Street [see M294]. (1) covenant to levy a final concord to (2) of the above property, in trust for (1) (one moiety each)

Command to the first parties in M2949 to make the final concord agreed to.

J. Lane, Esq. to Tebbutt & Son for legal expenses - investigating the title of the Tyssen family (See M2956 et seq.)
Enclosed: Receipt for payment to Tebbutt & Son of the above account by J. Lane

An estate belonging to the late Peter Perchard, on the south side of Homerton Street (see M2949):
Lot 1. Two messuages in Homerton Street (Subject to a lease)
Lot 2. One messuage in Homerton Street
Lot 3. One messuage in Homerton Street
Lot 4. A plot of building land in Homerton Street
Lot 5. A plot of building land and a butchers shop in Homerton Street
Lot 6. A plot of building land with access by carriage road behind Lots 2 - 5
Lot 7. A messuage and grounds in Homerton Street, with stables, etc. at the rear of the garden
Lot 8. A similar property to Lot 7.
Lot 9. Meadow land suitable for building, with access by carriage road, behind Lots 7 and 8 and extending to the Hackney Brook
Plan Attached: Contracts by Joachim Otte, John Britten and Robert Viney to purchase Lots 1, 7 and 8 respectively, with notes of the other purchasers (Lots 2 and 5, John Britten, Lots 3, 4 and 6, John Williams. Lot 9 not sold) 28 Jan 1820

Certificates by the Vicar of Hackney (John James Watson) of the register entries of burials of members of the Tyssen family, 1715-1751 (see M3004)

James Renat Syms declares that Peter Perchard had no other children besides Martha and Rachel.

Opinion of John J. Park on the title [in M2947]: it is necessary among other things to establish that Mrs Winter and Mrs. Le Mesurier are the only children of Peter Perchard and that Francis Tyssen, (died 1717) had no male heirs then surviving.

John J. Park does not consider the title valid without actual testimony that there are no surviving male heirs in the Tyssen family.

Richard Cheney and Mary his wife acknowledge the right of Francis Tyssen to two messuages, two gardens, two orchards and 20 acres of pasture in Hackney

[John Lane to Messrs Tebbutt]
Asks if Mr. Tebbutt can produce the required evidence concerning the Tyssen family.

Thomas Pearson, Hackney, to Hananel Mendes Da Costa
The writer is in possession of a piece of ground next to Benjamin Le Mesurier's garden. He will pay 1s per annum rent to H.M. Da Costa as trustee of Esther Brandon during the term of Le Mesurier's lease.

Rachel Winter, Shenley Hill, to Thomas Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Gives formal consent for her share of the Homerton estate to be made over to her husband.

Martha Le Mesurier, Alderney, to Thomas Lane
Gives formal consent for her share of the Homerton estate to be made over to her husband.

Mr. Rosser, Red Lion Square, to Messrs. Lane & Son, Goldsmiths Hall
Asks for an abstract of title to Lot 8, bought by Robert Viney (see M2952).

Tebbutt & Son to John Lane
The deeds in question may be inspected at the writer's offices.
Enclosed: Copy receipt for purchase money of property in Homerton bought from F.J. Tyssen's executors.

John M. Winter, Shenley Hill, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall.
The writer supposes the Homerton purchases will be completed in time for Governor Le Mesurier's visit to sign the deeds. Asks if a writ should be served on the present occupier.

Willis, Clark & Watson, Warnford Court, to Messrs. Lane & Son, Goldsmiths Hall.
Ask for an abstract of title to Lot 1, purchased by Mr. Otte (see M2952).

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall.
Encloses a copy of Mr. Parke's opinion on the title, and hopes the objections will soon be satisfied (M2955).

Tebbutt & Son, Grays Inn Square, to [John Lane]
Enclose a pedigree of the Tyssen family.

R. Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall.
Encloses a copy of Mr. Park's further opinion (See M2955).

John M. Winter, Shenley Hill, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall.
Asks if the business of the Homerton Estate and Garretts is nearly completed, and if possession of the Homerton estates will be taken when the leases expire.

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to Mr Lane, Goldsmiths Hall.
The writer has not received a response to Mr. Park's requisitions. As completion will be delayed, his client (Mr. Viney) must be compensated, and if Mr. Park's objections cannot be met, the writer will advise Mr. Viney to rescind the contract.

John M. Winter to John Lane
The writer has arranged for Mr. James Renet Syms to make an affidavit as to Peter Perchard's children (see M2954).

John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall, to Mr. Rosser, Red Lion Square
Points out that the title [to the Homerton property] has not been contested in the last 100 years. Governor Le Mesurier is not an Accountant to the Crown, so no lien could be created on his property.

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Mr. Park considers the present title inadequate. Mr. Lane is asked to comply with Mr. Park's requisitions and arrange compensation for the delay, unless he can make alternative arrangements (such as producing the abstract of title under which Mr. Perchard purchased).

Thomas West, Wapping, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
The writer will meet Mr. Lane in the Long Assembly Hall in the Bank the next day, to discuss Mr. Williams' purchase. (See M2952).

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Asks for further evidence concerning the Tyssen family. A good title must be made out soon, or the contract will be rescinded.

John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall, to Mr. Rosser
He feels that no further evidence is necessary, but will answer any specific points. The other purchasers have raised no such objections.

Willis, Clark & Watson, Warnford Court, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Ask for further replies to remarks by Mr. Venner on the title, on behalf of Mr. Britten, and for a copy of the abstract and certificates for Mr. Otte. Arrangements concerning deeds.

Financial arrangements.

John Le Mesurier, 13 Norfolk Street, Strand, to [John Lane]
The writer is leaving for Somersetshire, but will call on Mr. Lane on his return to execute the conveyances of the Homerton property.

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Asks whether Mr. Lane can comply with Mr. Park's requisitions.
Endorsed: Copy reply by Mr. Lane. Mr. Tebbutt has not been able to furnish the definite proofs required. Mr. Beauvoir, the only surviving witness who could make the required affidavit, is over 90 and too infirm to be disturbed by business. The other purchasers are satisfied

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Mr. Viney is willing to complete the purchase, despite the defective title, if the vendors will give a deed of general covenants and a bond indemnifying him against evictions.

Thomas Tebbutt, Grays Inn Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
The writer has transacted business for the Tyssen family for the past 30 years, and never heard of any male heirs other than those already named. He thinks the enquiries unnecessary.

John M. Winter, Shenley Hill, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Asks Mr. Lane to arrange for the bonds of indemnity to be drawn up. Hopes this business and that of Garretts will soon be completed.

Willis, Clarke & Watson, Warnford Court, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
The writers return the abstract of title, with their requisitions, and send a draft conveyance (on behalf of Mr. Otte). Copies of the certificates supplied for Mr. Britten will also be needed for Mr. Otte.

Mr. Rosser to John Lane
Asks for the draft deeds to be returned as soon as possible

John Lane to Willis & Co.
He returns the abstract with his answers, except that he cannot give further information regarding the Tyssen family. Mr. Le Mesurier wishes to complete the business as he has to return to Alderney.

John Lane to Mr. Rosser
Returns the draft deed and bond, with his amendments. Gives a copy of [M2981]. He does not consider a separate deed of covenants necessary.

Richard Rosser, Red Lion Square, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
The writer insists that the deed of covenants is necessary. He has still not had an opportunity of inspecting the relevant deeds. He thinks that Mr. Beauvoir should be asked for an affidavit if he still has his faculties.

Thomas West, Wapping, to John Lane, Goldsmiths Hall
Arrangements for a meeting.
