        ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE by Sir John Stanhope Kt., Treasurer of H.M.'s Chamber, to Thomas Wade and Richard Wright, citizens and ironmongers of London --- the herbage and pannage of HALTON PARK, for the remainder of the term.

        HALTON, the seat of a barony, and afterwards belonging to the duchy of Lancaster, may originally have been a chase, but as it is generally described as a park in the duchy records, I have placed it under that head.
