Part of Deeds of New Mill, Lydd
This Abstract of the Title of the Administrators of Henry Elve was produced at some time after 20 November 1865. Once again, the Abstract records the agreements of the Covenant deeds from 1801 to 1865. The Abstract informs us of how following the death of Henry Elve, his widow Ann Elve of Dover acquired the role of her husband's "Administratix". The document proceeds to reveal the fact that in her capacity of "Administratix", Ann Elve organised a second public auction for the mill at the George Inn in December of that year which on this occasion was successful.

Part of Deeds of New Mill, Lydd
The Abstract to Title provides detailed coverage on the aforementioned transactions regarding the Corn Mill of Lydd in Kent. It is important to note the fact that Mr. Thomas Finn died in 1847 ; the year in which this record was compiled. Therefore, this important development was in all likelihood the reason for why this document was produced.
Abstract of title to a windmill and bakehouse at Herne Bay
12 pages of paper measuring approximately 41 cm x 34 cm tracing brothers, Charles and Edmund Charles', title as 'coheirs in gavelkind' to the property of their sister, Elizabeth Stanley, who died without issue in 1868. The document traces title back to the purchase of land by Edward Charles and John Thorp[e] from Sir Henry Oxenden 'upon which they had lately erected and built a Windmill' and to an additional parcel of land 'part of the waste of the Lord of that [Reculver] Manor' and to which they were admitted as tenants on 20 October 1824. The document recites that Edward Charles and John Thorp[e] had 'for sometime then past carried on the trade or business of Millers jointly and in copartnership at [the] parish of Herne' but that in July 1829, had decided to dissolve the partnership. Having agreed that Edward Charles should buy John Thorp[e]'s share (including the windmill and all fixtures, machinery and stock-in-trade), two arbitrators were appointed to make final Awards as to valuation (one of whom being John Penn, millwright, of Deptford). Edward Charles' will of 23 August 1850 describes him as residing at Reculver Villa. Dispositions under the will include the Herne Bay mill and bakehouse in favour of his sons Edward and Charles and his daughter, Eliza. Further recitals are made as to the settlement reached regarding Eliza's entitlements under her father's will upon her marriage to Henry Stanley of 25 Upper Gloucester Place, Dorset Square, London.
