The lease was stopped and inquiry ordered. It was found that ' the Padre was an infamous and scandalous fellow.' Manucci had detected him in attempts at debaucheries in his family, while the Padres at Madras and other Portuguese of good reputation gave the Padre a very ill character. It was determined on December 18, 1704, to grant the lease on the terms originally sanctioned (' Factory Records,' Fort St. George, vol. xiii., fol. 203). Then follows the lease, dated December 20, 1704. It recites that the first grant for thirty years was made to Thomas Clarke, gentn, in the year 1671. It consisted of a garden or parcel of ground without the town. Manucci petitioned as heir of Thomas Clarke (having married his widow). The terms were a fine of sixty pagodas (remitted as above stated), and a yearly acknowledgment of one pagoda. - [Previous: 13.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.13.2.6) - [Next: 13.3.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.13.3.153) - [Up: 13.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.13.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.13.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.13.2.7) · Pramāṇa
