Assignment of mortgage, Cambridge

Recites Doc 1897. Whereas the property therein leased to John Forlow for 40 years is now in the possession of Thomas Creeke of Cambridge, tailor and robe-maker, and whereas Creeke owes Thomas Baker of Cambridge, woollen-draper, £300 and interest at 4%, Creeke, having obtained permission to alienate, mortgages the property through an assignment for the remainder of the lease, for the £300 and interest. It is agreed that repayments of the principal may be made in instalments of not less than £50, that Creeke is to keep the property fully insured, and that any new lease of the property to Creeke will also be charged with the £300 and interest. 3 pages, signed and sealed by both parties, witnessed by W G Ashton, solicitor, and William Lombe Brooke, both of Cambridge, duty stamps. Parchment supplied by John Smith of Long Acre, engraving by Silvester of The Strand.
