Further to my previous message and having thought long and hard about the insertions written in the margin, I believe both the entries contain the same words. The <> are used to bracket the insertions. Line 14 therefore reads in full: "J.G.D. and his heirs Subject nev[erthe]less to red[emptio]n <or [?] for recon- [veying the] same to the s[ai]d Thos H. his heirs & ass[igns] or [otherw]ise as he or they [?] & direct> on pay[men]t to him" and Line 23 (the third last) reads: "the s[ai]d Jas. Geo. Doyle & his heirs Subject <nev[erthe]less> to red[emptio]n <or [..?..] for reconveying the same to the s[ai]d Thos H. his heirs & ass[igns] or otherwise as he or they [?] & direct>" Perhaps someone else can have a go at the missing word visible at the beginning of the second insertion in the margin. Looks like - - p - - - - - or it could be an f. A lot of the smudging went away with manipulation in a graphics package. But I'm afraid that's my lot!! Cheers, Liz in Melbourne
