A Petition from Ephraim Martin, William South
worth and others, was read, setting forth, that
they were, together with Joseph Barton, appointed
managers by an ad to enable sundry persons, pro
prietors an d possessors of certain lands and meadows
lying upon the Wallkill in the county of Sussex,
commonly called the drowned lands, to drain the
fame, and for other purposes therein mentioned ;
that the said managers, to enable themselves to dis
charge the duties enjoined on them by said law, bor
rowed of William Wickam, Esquire, £. 500, for
which they executed a bond in their own names;
that the said Barton had received from the proprie
tors the sum of £. 590, and upwards, to enable him
to discharge the said bond; that the said Barton,
instead of difeharging the said bond, had fraudulent
ly converted the fame to his own use ; since which
he has joined the enemy, and his estate forfeited to
the use of this state ; and praying that a law may
pass to empower them to attach the estate of the
said Joseph Barton, and to recover therefrom a fuffi
ciency to discharge the said bond, or that the Le
gislature will grant such other relief as may appear
just and reasonable.
Ordered, That the petitioners have leave to pre
