and buildings and the undertenants have, in almost every case; large interest in their
holdings, the valuation of lands being very nearly double the rental.

and the ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS at a Gross Rent of £23 6s 2d and fees, but for the
purpose of the sale in this matter have been divided into three holdings, and a distinct
lease of each obtained, with the rents apportioned accordingly.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS for renewal of these lands was £53 6s 1d for the sale now divided
