Whereby, in consideration of £100 (covenanted to be repaid with £5% p.a. interest on 11th. May, [1885]), Charles Reading (of High St., Coleshill, Warws., grocer) conveys to John Keen (of Upper Farm, Armitage, Rugeley, Staffs., farmer) and Alfred Warner (of "Florence Villa", kingswood Rd., Sparkbrook, Worcs., printer and compositor) three messuages (whereof two front Coleshill High St. (one being occupied by the mortgagor as a grocer's shop, the other by Henry Smith) and the other is behind them (inhabited by Jane Calley), bounded east by High St., west partly by the Wesleyan Chapel and partly by Henry Field's lands, north by the hereditaments of Lord Digby's Trustees (occupied by Arthur Drakeford), south by other hereditaments of H.A. Lea agreed to be conveyed to Samuel Hewins) with use of the pump by Hewins (he paying a proportion of the expenses); the premises will be insured with the Imperial Fire Insurance Office for at least £100: C. Reading attorns tenant at £5 p.a. (paid every 11th. May and 11th. Nov.); he signs with a cross.

14th. May, 1892. First Endorsement: Further Charge whereby, having recited:- firstly, Charles Reading's entrusting the residue of his estate (by his will dated 6th. Dec., 1886) to his executors William Reading (in 1892 described as of Coleshill, platelayer) and Arthur Drakeford for sale, allowing his widow Mary to appoint new trustees; secondly, C. Reading's death on 28th. July, 1879; thirdly, Drakeford's refusal to act as trustee (made by deed poll, 30th. Aug., 1889); fourthly, the proving of C. Reading's will on 9th. Sept., 1889, by W. Reading at Birmingham; fifthly, M.A. Reading's appointment of Francis Jubal Reynolds (in 1892 described as of Coleshill, solicitor) as a trustee on 9th. Aug., 1889: therefore, in consideration of £120, the trustees covenant with John Keen and Alfred Warner to pay them on 11th. Nov., [1892] £220 with £4% p.a. interest carried forward half-yearly in addition to the main deed's £100.

11th. May, 1892. Second Endorsement: Transfer of Mortgage whereby, as the previous mortgage's £220 alone remains unpaid, in consideration of £220 Keen and Warner assign the premises to Edward Thomas Pickmere, wine-and-spirit merchant, and Matthew John Blewitt, solicitor, both of Birmingham.

17th. Aug., 1901. Third Endorsement: Transfer of Mortgage whereby, as £203 principal only still is due, in consideration of that sum, Pickmere (now described as of Corporation St., Birmingham) and Blewitt (now of Coleshill, gent.) assign the principal and hereditaments to James Edward Turner (of Henley-in-Arden, Warws., bank manager) and William Luke Dennis (of 224, Mary St., Balsall Heath, Birmingham, architect).
