Scope and content
Parties: (1) Jesus College, (2) William Bullen, (3) Charles Humfrey.
The agreement states that Jesus College owned Gravel Close which was leased to John Bullen (then deceased) and was now in the possession of William Bullen. Charles Humfrey owned the adjoining Close. The existing fence between the Closes was "very irregular and inconvenient" and Charles Humfrey had applied to the College for an agreement that a new fence should be built. The College agreed on condition that when deciding on the line of the fence for every four yards of land they gave up Charles Humfrey would give up 5 yards. In addition Charles Humfrey would build and maintain the fence at his expense.
