lease jargon in a will 1688
« on: Monday 11 June 18 21:54 BST (UK) »
Could anyone help me with a couple of words in a will (from Cornwall 1688)

I have profites and commodities in the said deed ? ? ? ? ? and ? ? ? ? ? ?

It looks like repressed and resited - but does that make sense?  Any conveyancing solicitors out there?

Many thanks
Philip

Surely the first letter is the same as the 'd' in 'deeds' Philip, not an 'r'?
That makes it 'depressed and resited'. Still doesn't make any sense though - not being a solicitor!  :(

'Resited' could be 'recited' - as in the deed that has been stated before?

...deed expressed and resited...

As goldie has said, resited = recited

It's common usage at this time, and just means that the information was stated in that place.

ADDED:

Although the first letter looks very like a d, it's not quite right.  Compare the d and e in commodities to the first letter and you'll see what I mean.

Well spotted HD.  :)
I see it now.
'e's like 'd's, 'x's like 'e's  - but I should have known that letter that looks like a modern day 'e' must have been something else. Blame it on the 'flu!

Well, I never would have considered expressed - but looking at it again (and again, and again, and again!) I can now see it.

Many thanks for this solution - and many thanks to all who responded.
