APETITION from William Baldwin, John
Range, Benjamin Minor and others, praying,
for certain reasons therein contained, that a law
may be passed for making partition of the lands ge
nerally known by the name of Afhfield's trad,
among the several owners thereof, in proportion to
their refpedive shares, was read;
Ordered, that the petitioners have leave to pre
sent a bill at the next fitting of the Legislature, pre
viously advertising their intention, with the purport
of their petition, in the New-Jersey Gazette and
New-Jersey Journal, for at least fix weeks.
Extract from the minutes,
M. EWING, jun. Clerk.
WHEREAS the subscriber and others, purchas
ers under the devifees of Richard Afhfield, deceas
ed; and the commissioners of forfeited estates in
Essex county (who claimed title for the state under
the said devifees or one of them) of an undivided
right of the greater part of a tra& of land, contain
ing about three thousand and fix hundred acres,
surveyed and returned to Robert-Hunter Morris,
deceased, in trust for the children of Richard Afh
field, deceased, situate at Newark mountains, in the
county of Essex, and commonly known by the name
of Airfield's trad, presented a petition to the last
fitting of the Legislature, setting forth, that the le
gal title of part of the said trad was, as they were
informed, in Redford Afhfield, who was not, nor
had not been, to their knowledge, for several years
past, within the United States of America ; and
that a considerable part of the said trad was held
from them by persons having no legal title to the
fame, or having a title to small shares, pofTeffed
large trads; and that they had been put to consi
derable expence by endeavouring at law to gain
possession of the said lands so held from them, with
out effed; and that they were still desirous of pro
ceeding for that purpose, and to make partition of
the lands to the several owners thereof, in propor
tion to their refpedive rights; but they were ad
vised 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 o
might be passed for making partition of the said
land among the several owners thereof, in propor
tion to their refpedive shares.
This is to give notice, that a bill will be pre
sented at the next fitting of the Legislature, for
making partition of the said land, agreeably to
leave given for that purpose.
