Note at end 'I have perused this Abstract, as also the abstract of ye Title to the other moiety of this estate purchased of Mr. Gotley, And as it appears that the Lady Tillie, daughter of Sir Richard Chiverton died without issue male, I am of opinion that by the Recovery mentioned to be suffered last term Mr. Batt hath enabled himself to make a good title to ye other moiety to a purchaser.
