eighth says that he had a communication between
Stammer
and
Xoph Sibthorpe
that forasmuch as
Xoph
had no ability nor time nor skill being a student of the Temple to look after the said ground and occupy it himself therefore they agreed that
Stammer
should look to it and occupy the same and defray all charges both the rent and other charges which
Stammer
should be allowed back upon his account and for this his labour and disbursing of money he
Stammer
should have 20marks or 20nobles by the year tenth says that the first year which was the same year that
Stammer
was bailiff he cannot depose the just value of the profits of the ground of his own knowledge but as he has heard divers workmen that wrought in the ground say that there did arise 15cwt of hops of an acre throughout the garden as they esteemed twelfth says that
Stammer
told him that he was out of purse or had given security to
Xoph Sibthorpe
for the sum of 40li and could not well tell how to be sure thereof again and therefore thought his best course to suffer the ground to fall into the landlord's hands
