(Jurati.) To enquire of the meares, &c., betwixt the Corporation and Richd. Kent -fz. Will, of all the lands and houses in the highway to Knockrea, within the liberties. We find that the four houses and cabbins wherein now dwelleth Der- mod Field, Redmond .Mowrres, Dermod ny Carrygy, and Andrew Perkin, are built upon the King's high-way, and that the hedges and banks ad-: joining to said houses on the south side, and so along directly to the hedge of Richard Collman's garden on the east, is the meares between the Prior lands on the south and the King's high-way on the north; and further, that the old hedge to the east of the premises lately demolished and defaced by Richard Kent ought to be repaired by said Richard, for that we find it to be the ancient mear between the Prior's land on the south and the King'• high-way on the north, which hedge we hold fit to be speedily repaired. .
