Summary of contents:
PARTIES Katherine Ludlam of Leicester, Leicestershire, Widow Isabella Ludlam of Leicester, Leicestershire, Spinster John Ludlam of Hockliffe, Bedfordshire, Gentleman SUBJECT We are told that Katherine Ludlam is the widow of Thomas Ludlam, late one of the aldermen of Leicester. She is selling property in Leicester close to the Saturday Market in the parish of St Martin to Isabella Ludlam for £205. It seems that Thomas Ludlam mortgaged this property to John Ludlam in 1742 for £200. In the present contract £204 goes to John Ludlam to pay off the mortgage and £1 goes to Katherine Ludlam. (After this there are 4 pages of 'small print' to the contract which seem more than usually obscure.) (NB. There is mention of a lease for a year dated one day before the date of this indenture, which suggests that this is really a contract of Lease and Release.)
