At the Record Office the deeds are mostly in the original solicitor’s bundles which have been indexed with the Prefix DB for Deeds Bull followed by a number. Most bundles relate to the property of an individual or to a particular property. In transcribing them I have as far as possible sorted the deeds in each bundle into date order and numbered them consecutively.
The contents of each bundle are briefly described before the transcription but where a bundle contains the deeds to several properties I have placed the description before the transcription of each property. Occasionally deeds from one property have been found within a bundle for another, and where this is the case I have put their details into the primary bundle.

Any mistakes or inaccuracies in these transcriptions are my responsibility and the Copyright of the transcriptions is reserved, any use made of it must be acknowledged, and no part may be published without acknowledgement.

These transcriptions and interpretation by Dennis C Mynard, were carried out with full permission from Miss Catherine Bull and Guy Harding, former partners in Bull, Astley and Harding. These transcriptions may be reproduced with full acknowledgement.

John died shortly after writing his Will (proved at Canterbury), Thomas Abbot died without issue, and Ann married the Revd Samuel Greatheed but died without issue. So the estate descended to Parties 1,2,and 3, who were the children and heirs of Robert Hamilton.

First page of letter from W.B. & W.R. Bull to Salmons, they have "looked at old papers" and they quote
1879 Mortgage for £1000 (see above) subject to prior mortgage of £1700.
The £1000 mortgage was paid off in 1895 on dissolution of Partnership between Messrs Salmons.
Fresh mortgage given 7th May 1895 for £1200 at 4% Joseph Salmons borrows from Arthur William Hipwell, H.G.Hipwell, J.C.Hipwell and S.E. Hipwell, this was also subject to the prior mortgage of £1700.

"We find that many years the question was again gone into as to the desirability of approaching messrs Hipwell with a view of ascertaining the position they would take in the matter, they having received no interest on their mortgage, and we further find that they were seen and that they requested that a payment should be made to them on account to keep the mortgage alive. This would be about the year 1902 we believe" Bulls wrote to Salmons when the present partnership was entered and Salmons replied on 24th Sept 1910
