_The New Temple_ (Vol. ii., p. 103.).--As your correspondent is
interested in a question connected with the occupants of the New Temple
at the beginning of the fourteenth century, I venture to state, at the
hazard of its being of any use to him, that I have before me the
transcript of a deed, dated at Canterbury, the 16th of July, 1293, by
which two prebendaries of the church of York engage to pay to the Abbot
of Newenham, in the county of Devon, the sum of 200 marks sterling, at
the New Temple in London, in accordance with a bond entered into by them
before G. de Thornton and others, the king's justices.
