Statutory declaration by Mr John Beara, regarding the sale of the Globe Inn, Appledore.

I John Beara of Appledore in the parish of Northam, ironmonger, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows:

1) I am 71 years of age and have resided at Appledore aforesaid the whole of my life and am well acquainted with the Public House and premises in Market Street known as the Globe Inn. I was also well acquainted with Frances or Fanny Tatem who prior to her death kept the said Inn.

2) The said fanny Tatem died on or about the 10th day of October 1854 and I have always understood that she died intestate. She was at the time of her death a widow and James Tatem master mariner was her eldest son and heir at law.

3) For many years prior to the death of the said Fanny Tatem she was in possession of the said property known as the Globe Inn and I was always given to understand and verify believe that the said property belonged to the said Fanny Tatem and that it passed on her death to the said James Tatem who then to my knowledge went into possession of the property and was always reported to be the owner thereof to the date of his death which occurred on or about the 8th June 1884, when I understood his widow Ann Tatem became entitled to the property as tenant for life under his Will.

4) I well remember that sometime previous to 1854 the said Fanny Tatem made considerable additions and improvements to the said property and I supplied her with the grates and fittings and did all the plumbing work required which was charged to the said Fanny Tatem and paid by her.

5) I have known the Tatem family all my life and was intimately acquainted with the said James Tatem who appointed me an executor of his Will but I never acted therein and if the title of the said Fanny Tatem had ever been questions I should certainly have become acquainted of the fact. I have never heard of either title being questioned and I am fully convinced that the said Fanny Tatem died seized thereof in fee simple and that the said James Tatem on her death took the property in fee simple as heir at law.

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act of 1835.

Signed: John Beara, before me: H M Bazeley a commissioner for oaths.

1) I am 57 years of age and have resided at Appledore the whole of my life and am well acquainted with the Public House and premises in Market Street, Appledore, known as the Globe Inn. I also as a boy remember Frances or Fanny Tatem who prior to her death kept the said Inn.

2) I have been informed and verify believe that the said fanny Tatem died intestate on or about the 10th October 1854 that she was at the time of her death a widow and that she left her eldest son James Tatem (Master Mariner) her heir at law.

3) I was always given to understand that the said property belonged to the said Fanny Tatem and that it passed on her death to the said James Tatem who I remember on the death of the said Fanny Tatem went into possession of the said property and was always reported to be the owner thereof to the date of his death which occurred on or about the 8th June 1884 when I understand his widow Ann Tatem became entitled to the property as tenant for life under his Will and I have never heard his title or the title of the said Fanny Tatem or the title of the successors of the said James Tatem to the property disputed or questioned in any way.

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act of 1835.
