Memorandum that on the second day of August in the tenth year of the reign of William III, by the grace of God now King of England etc. came John Mayson and Jane Lodge, spinster, outside the court at the City of Durham, before John Hutchinson Esquire, deputy of Charles Monntague Esquire, Steward, and received from the lord an eighth part of one Cottage in which William Mayson, father of the aforesaid John, then holding all the right, status, title, claim, interest and demand, surrendered and quitclaimed it into the hands of the lord for the use and behoof of the aforesaid John and Jane, to hold to the same John Mayson and Jane Lodge and the lawful heirs of their bodies and, failing such issue, then to the successors of that John by right according to the custom of the court, paying (rent) thenceforth each year at the usual dates when it was previously accustomed to be paid; and did fealty to the lord and those living nearby with a pledge etc.; and then they were thenceforth admitted tenants.
And upon this the aforesaid John and Jane leased to the aforesaid William Mayson and Mary his wife the aforesaid eighth part of the aforesaid Cottage, to hold to the same William and Mary his wife for and during the term of their lives and whichever of them lived longer, paying nothing thenceforth for permission to lease it, beyond giving the lord his rent and the services thence due.
=====
For the phrase Extra Cur(iam) apud Civitat(em) Dunelm’ (literally, outside the court at the City of Durham), I’m uncertain of the exact meaning in the context. But as it occurs in both the above entries of 1698, as well as in the entry of 1722, it can’t relate to the location of John Mason’s death as I suggested earlier, so please ignore that.
