ANCIENT DEEDS. 85 lands within the respective boroughs, and the acts of its local governing bodies, were treated as distinct matters. We proceed to give further extracts from our ancient deeds : In 1305 John le Foyngour granted to Henry his son all his right and claim in 6d. yearly which he was wont to receive from the hand of Richard of Tregadek out of a certain tenement situate in the free borough of Douneheved, between the tenement of William Trestram and the tenement of John of Lanrak. Witnesses named : William Godrich, Mayor, Richard Waundrie, then Provost, John of Lydeforde, Henry Dobel, and Martin de Ferer. Given at the borough aforesaid on the Sunday next after the feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary the Virgin, 33rd Edward I. Johanna, the daughter and heiress of John le Crocker, in her widowhood, granted to Richard Page all her garden with the appurtenances which lay outside the Southgate of the free borough of Dounehevet, between the garden of Agnes Reynfrey and her own land in length, and the land of William the son of the Magister and the way which leads towards Dounehevet hylle in breadth. Witnesses named : William Godrich, Mayor, John le Foyngour, Richard Gondry, Provosts, John Colyn, and Richard Cork. Given at the said Borough on the Sabbath day next before the feast of the blessed Peter ex cathedra, 33rd Edward I. (1305). We think the above-named " Magister " was an officer, possibly the Governor or ruler, in the castle. In 1306 Robert le Foyng r granted to John Colyn all right and claim in one penny yearly received at the feast of St. Michael out of a garden lying without the Westgate of the free borough of Dounehevet, between the Royal Highway coming from the aforesaid gate, and leading towards the vill of Dounehevet,* and a garden of Henry de Cochelacote, and the land of the same Henry and a garden of Henry Body. Witnesses : William Godrich Mayor, John le Foyng r and Henry Body, Provosts, Richard Cork, and Henry de Cochelacote. Given on the day of March next before the feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle, 34th Ed. I.
