Release being made or expressed to be made between James Butter
Esquire of the First Part, Sir William Coryton or Croyton Baronet,
Francis Wills and William Haneoch, Esquires, of the Second Part,
and George Parker and Walter Moyle, Esquires, of the Third Part,
and the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Ripon is the Ordinary of
the said Vicarage : And whereas Part of the Endowment of the said
Vicarage of Bradford heretofore consisted of a Vicarage House, which
long since became ruinous or unfit for Habitation, and was therefore
pulled down in or about the Year One thousand six hundred and
ninety-five, and of Glebe Land situate at a Place called Ooodmansend
in the said Parish, and which, according to a Parish Terrier dated the
Fourth Day of May One thousand seven hundred and sixty-four,
consisted of Three Enclosures of Land containing together Four
Acres,
but the greater Part of which Glebe Land-was in or about the
Year One thousand eight hundred and twenty-two taken and pur-
chased for the Sum of One thousand seven hundred and fifty Pounds
by the Bradford Gas Company, under usual Powers in that Behalf
given, to them by an Act of Parliament passed in the Third Year qf
the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled An
lActfor lighting with Gas the Town of Bradford and the Neighbour-
hood thereof within the Parish ^/"Bradford in the West Riding of the
County of"York, and the said Purchase Money or Sum of One thou-
sand seven hundred and fifty Pounds, or any Part
thereof,
hath not
yet been laid out in the Purchase of other Land in lieu of the Glebe
Land which was sold as aforesaid: And whereas the remaining or
unsold Part of the said Glebe Land by a recent Admeasurement
contains Eight thousand two hundred and sixty-four Square Yards or
thereabouts, and is particularized and set forth in the First Schedule
annexed to this Act: And whereas Bradford is a considerable and
increasing manufacturing Town, and the said, remaining or unsold
Part of the said Glebe Land is situate nearly in the Centre of the said
Town, and is in the midst of Trade Buildings or Dwelling Houses of
an inferior Description, so that the same is unfit for the Site of a
Vicarage House, and in its present State is of small yearly Value, and
being in a Locality in which Persons are not found to take Land upon
Building Leases, it is thought that the yearly-Value thereof cannot be
materially increased by letting, but the same is a convenient and de-
sirable Site for Warehouses or Trade Buildings, and for 'that Purpose
it is estimated to be worth the Sum of Four thousand Pounds and up-
wards: Wherefore great Benefit would accrue to the said Vicar and his
Successors if the same Land could be sold, and the Purchase Money
thereof be laid out in the Purchase of other Land of greater yearly
Value, or if the same Land could be exchanged for other convenient
Land of greater yearly Value: And whereas it is considered that
inasmuch as Three hundred and fifty Years and upwards still remain
unexpired of the Term of Five hundred Years created in the Advowson
