eastern side up to Cheesemonger Wempe’s property, 53 yards,
and on the western side, where it touches Ropemaker Nyman’s
property, 52 yards, which, when added together, amount to
an area of 5880 square yards.
3. This plot is well protected and enclosed, on the one
side by the house, and on the other by a board- fence, and
is also first of all divided into two parts by a neat wooden
fence with gates ; the eastern portion containing about one
third of the whole area, and the western portion two-thirds.
The eastern division is again, with the dwelling-house, sub
divided into three portions by means of wooden fences and
gates. The first division, which is narrow and passes along

flower garden with curious figures in box-tree. The larger

long, and 14 yards wide, and has three large rooms, two in
the lower and one in the upper story ; adjoining it, near the

all built of wood and covered with tiles, and painted red
like the barn .
