Hi Narelle and Martyn, Sorry this has taken a while - I am struggling with broken email software (my Office CD won't read!) and I've also been helping with other transcriptions. Since Martyn's posting, I haven't seen any additional comments, so here goes. A few additions/changes to Martyn's transcription - several of these are just typos which it's much easier to see when one hasn't done the original transcription. 2. A typo - 'interest', and I agree it's 'sealed'. 5. A couple of typos - shld. be 'interest' and "T.H.' 7. 'are respec[tive]ly' ? 10. A typo - 'the the' shld be 'the' 12. 'with' not 'under' and typo - 'aftermentioned' 14. 'that in Cons[iderati]on of the [..?..] & of the sum of' (see also line 25 re Cons'on) 16. A typo - '&' not '7' 17. 'full' not 'free' 19. "made by' not 'made of' 20. 'two sev[era]l Ind[entu]res of Rele[ase]' The R here looks like that in line 9, page 1. 21. '&' not 'and' 22. '& of & from the same & every part thereof doth acquit' 24. 's[ai]d T. Huxley & their resp[ecti]ve heirs Exec[uto]rs ad[ministrator]s & ass[igns] - And in' 25. 'Cons[iderati]on' rather than 'Com[m]on' 26. A typo - 'the' not 'tthe' In line 14 and line 25 Com[m]on doesn't seem to fit the sense. I think it's Cons[ideration]. The write is a great one for extreme abbreviation! I have not been able to think of any word to fill the gap in line 14 that also looks like what is written. Perhaps someone else could look at this. I think it's the only word left. I hope that helps rather than confuses!
