Court action from 1781 about 45 acres of meadows, pasture and commons at Cricklade, between Walter & Ann Brind on the one hand and Charles Poulton and Thomas Dutton junior, on the other.

The judgement includes £60 given by Charles & Thomas to Walter & Ann. If you add the £60 to the £510 received according to the agreement of April 1781, you get a total of £570, which is the purchase price mentioned in that agreement.
