Think a "glass" is a mirror. A "hutch" a cabinet?

I have noted your instruction on "o"s and "e"s. I'll make the changes.

Suggestion, not instruction  :)

Think a "glass" is a mirror. A "hutch" a cabinet?

Of course! Glass =mirror. OED for glass  A glass mirror, a looking-glass.

Hutch, OED A chest or coffer, in which things are stored.

Skoosh, So you don't think the two "catches" are the same word? So cabinet press could be a large cupboard for sheets and blankets?

You could be right on the mirror though.

I don't think the word is hutch. The second letter isn't 'u'.

D. What would a Bep be?

I presume he means a Bed, although I can't be certain.  I was following the principle of transcribing what is written; and it clearly isn't written with a d.

I agree with the word Catch, as you have highlighted in Reply #5, but I haven't encountered these terms before.

I haven't seen either term before, and internet searches haven't been productive.

However, should I ever need to catch a real horse in a field, I already know that YouTube has my back.

The original problem in reply 7


1.   The said Anne Batchelor doth also allege that xxxxxxxx of a best offer xxx proceeds upon the Estate of William

and the response in reply 10

The said Anne Batchelor doth also allege that xxxxxxxx of about Forty pounds upon the Estate of William

Are there any suggestions as to what might make sense, fit the space, or be logical, for the missing word(s) between allege that ...... of about
