PARTIES Ebenezer GEALL of South Bersted, Sussex. Brickmaker. Henry GEALL of South Bersted, Sussex. Brickmaker. George Durrant AUSTIN of Bognor, Sussex. Solicitor. (Later of Petersfield, Hampshire, Solicitor). SUBJECT Ebenezer and Henry Geall are mortgaging property in South Bersted, Sussex, to George Austen for £275. It consists of a plot of land of 30ft x 190ft fronting on a new road called Essex Road to the West. The plot is called "Town Cross" and two houses have recently been erected on it.

This is to cover part of the cost of household furniture and effects sold by George Austen to Ebenezer Geall. At the time of this Indenture, George Austen is living in Petersfield, Hampshire.
