pad, within the United States of America; and
that a considerable part of the said tract was held
from them.by perlons having no legal title to the

large tracts ; and that they had been put to consi

poffelhon of the said lands so held from them, with
out effeQ; and that they were still desirous of pro
ceeding for that pur'pofe, and to make partition of
the lands to the federal owners thereof, in propor
tion to their refpeflive rights; but they were ad
v Ted it could not be legally done without the in
terposition of the Legislature, as one of the owners
was not to be come at; and praying that a law
might be passed for miking partition of the said
land among the several owners thereof, in propor
tion to their refpeefive Shares.
This is to give notice, that a bill will be pre
