File concerning the exchange of land between Jesus College and the Corporation. It was proposed that New Square, and two areas in front of and next to Brunswick School owned by the College under the Barnwell Inclosure Act, 1811 would be exchanged for a triangular piece of land on the corner of Jesus Lane and Victoria Avenue known as Butts Green.
