Assignment of the Equity of Redemption in a Corn Wind Mill and Premises in Lydd in the County of Lydd

The Assignment of the Equity of Redemption in a Corn Mill records that following the death of Thomas Finn, the trustees of his estate attempted to sell the mill to pay off the mortgage. The trustees of his estate were Francis Finn of Old Romney and the two graziers of Lydd, Stephen Burgess and Charles Allen. The indenture records the first public auction of the mill at the George Inn in April 1847 and its subsequent failure to produce any bids leaving the trustees with no option but to transfer the legal title to Henry Elve for £878.12s.9d which was the amount of his mortgage advance plus 5% interest per annum.

Supplementary Abstract of the Title and Trustees of the Estate of Thomas Finn to a Leasehold of Corn Windmill

The Supplementary Abstract of the Title of the Trustees of the Estate of Thomas Finn was drawn up in 1847 for the purpose of providing a more detailed and comprehensive account of the Covenant deeds than that provided by the initial Abstract of Title. The Supplementary Abstract is significant in that there are a number of annotations in the margin which inform us of the extensive activity of the Probate court in imposing rigorous safeguards for the implementation of the will of Thomas Finn. The oft - repeated phrase of "Will not to be delivered over" illustrates the extent to which the Probate court was determined to reaffirm the legitimacy of the Covenant deeds of 1801, 1807, 1812 and 1830. Therefore, the annotations serve to emphasise the degree to which the implementation and safeguarding of an individual's will was a constant work in progress over a number of years and decades.
