- Nature of endorsement
- Let certain people be assigned in Chancery to enquire of the contents of the petition, and return the inquisition into Chancery, and there let the inquisition be viewed, and if it is found that it is as was suggested, then let it be ordered by writ to the sheriff of Cumberland that he levy the sum from each of those that assented to the redemption, namely each in proportion to his goods and chattels, and the sums levied are to be delivered to the petitioner.
