At a fecial meeting of the Board of General Proprie
tors of the Wefern Div,ifon of New-Jerfo, at the
City of Burlington, on Thursday and Friday, the
10th and iitb days of November, 1774, it was
Resolved,
TH AT as it is evident the Eastern Proprietors
are not disposed to come into the equitable
mcafures proposed by this Board, for fettling a true
line of partiton between them, this board will as
sert and maintain their right to the lands lying to
the westward of a line, to be run from the Mouth
of Machackamack, lately established as the North
ern Boundary of this province, to the Station Point
at Little Egg-harbour, and to the eastward of the
€%; parte line, run by Mr. John Lawrence.
Alfa Resolved and Ordered, That every Proprietor,
or others holding under them, who have a right
to locate lands within any of the firft four divi
dends, may be allowed to survey the fame on any
part of the lands within the angle, lying to the
Westward and Eastward of the lines before men
tioned, fubjedtto the Resolutions of this Board
already agreed upon. And provided also, That
those who have warrants now to locate, Shall locate
and return the fame to the Surveyor-General, with
in fix months from this time, and all others who
may obtain warrants hereafter, within fix months
from the. date of such warrants. Resolved also,
That a Sixth dividend be granted, to be located
within the angle only, at the rate of 1500 acres to
each Propriety, the warrants therefor to be grant
ed by the Council of Proprietors, at their meeting
in Feb: aary next, or any subsequent meeting.
At another special meeting of the said Board, on the
fifth of December, 1774.
This Board having understood that very ungene
rous and undue means have been taken by the
Eastern Proprietors, or their Agents, to induce
such persons living within the angle, and who are
actually bona fide purchasers under the said Eastern
Proprietors, to believe that the Western Proprietors
mean and intend to diftdrb their possessions and
improvements, and to take their lands from them;
this Board do resolve and agree, that they have no
such sinister intention, but mean to give to every
such purchaser, or those under whom they hold,
the full opportunity of covering such their possessi
ons and improvements with West-Jersey rights, at
a reasonable and moderate price ; and that, in the
mean time, such possessions and improvements be
Secured to them without interruption or disturb
ance, or until an aft of Assembly can be obtained
to regulate the fame, and finally determine all
matters in controversy between the said Proprietors;
but that it is nevertheless to be understood, that no
such favour is intended or can be Shewn to any
person whatever, who may hereafter chufe to run
the rifqne of making any future purchases of the
Eastern Proprietors, of any of the lands that are
contained within the said angle—this Board pro
testing against any Sales of the Eastern Proprietors,
which they may hereafter think proper to make.
The above Resolves are dire fled to be published,
for the information of the General Proprietors, and
all others who may be concerned.
By order of the Board,
