White's in Church Field up to Vicarage Lane; (b) a 30-foot one from the churchyard gates through R. Cleeve's allotment and R.

(a) one [footpaths are 4 feet wide unless otherwise stated] going from the churchyard gates by the northern side of the firstly-described private way to Vicarage Lane; (b) one from the churchyard gates through R. Cleeve's allotment, R. Cheslyn [II]'s firstly-described Church Field allotment and Sir B.

Hutchinson's and C. Gunman's Stone Pit Field allotment to a footbridge and stile leading into Mill Meadow (which is occupied by E. Catterns); (h) one from a stile at Pickards Home Close, through A. Farmer et al's and W. Wilson's Stone Pit Field allotments, over Cross Furlong, and through R. Cheslyn [II]'s secondly-described Stone Pit Field allotment to a stile giving access to Exhall Halll Close; (i) one from "Stone Bridge" through R. Cheslyn [II]'s secondly-described Stone Pit Field allotment, and S. Brookes [II]' and A. Hands' one there, to a stile which leads to Little Holt; (j) one from Exhall Hall Yard gate via both of R. Chesleyn [II]'s Church Field allotments and Sir B.

Garrard's Stone Pit Field allotment, then via the lane, Bedworth Heath and Jackson's Orchard to the (j)-mentioned stile; (l) one from Gibbons Stile, through E.

Cheslyn [I]'s thirdly-described wastes-allotments (on Lammas, Middle and Farr Wastes), along W. White's Great Sydnal Field allotment's western side, to the west of M. Neale's and E. Catterns' Great Sydnal Field allotments, so rejoining the turnpike); and fourthly, the commissioners bespeak a 12-foot wide cart-bridge, with a 6-foot arch, for carrying the (a)-mentioned private way: octarily, since the Act extinguishes leases in to-be-enclosed lands - hence, the commissioners order that the proprietors give satisfaction to lessees because of (a) a lease by R. Cheslyn [II]'s father Richard Cheslyn [I] to Joseph Perkins (yeoman) for 21 years from Lady Day, 1746, for which R. Cheslyn [II] should pay J. Perkins 1/-; and (b) a lease by Samuel Brookes [I] (father of S. Brookes [II] and A. Hands) to William Smart's father John Smart for a like term from 1749 for wihch they shoud pay W.

Bentley respectively for their work towards the enclosure); and thirdly, that with £17/0/8.5 sundries the exercise cost £521/15/2 - hence that sum will be paid (as follows:- £200/16/5.75 to R. Cheslyn [II], £34/4/5 to Sir B. Garrard, £7/0/9 to E. Freeman, £15/19/0.5 to E. Grosvenor, £3/18/9.5 to M. Lynes, 11/9.5 to M. Barrs, £3/4/11.5 to Exhall parish officers, £6/8/1.75 to W.
