r r HE general proprietors of West-Jersey having
A received information, that sundry lands and real
estates, which, by the late Settlement of the line be
tween New York and New-Jersey, and found to lye
within the division of West-Jersey, but have been
located under East-Jersey rights only, are likely to
be confifeated, and fold as the estates of sundry re
fugees who have joined the army of the king of Great
Britain. The West-Jersey proprietors therefore, at
a meeting holden at Burlington, on the 3d and 4th
instant, having taken the fame into their serious con
sideration, and it appearing unto them clearly, that
no person whatsoever can have derived any title to
lands lying within West-Jersey, under East-Jersey
rights, located since the year 1718; and being de
sirous, as far as in them lies, to prevent any misap
prehension refpe&ing the title to the said lands, do
hereby give notice, that all the lands lying to the
westward of the true line of division, between Bast
and West-Jersey, that is to fay, within the angle
formed by the ex parte line run by John Lawrence,
and the place where the true lire will run from the
mouth of Mackhockamuck to the Ration point at
Little Eggharbour, which have been located under
Eaft-Jerley rights, and not since covered by Weft-
Jersey rights, are claimed by them, (the western
proprietors) and that they will be under the disagree
able necessity of instituting suits at law against all and
every person, who now does and hereafter may claim
title to, arid hold the possession of the said lands, or
any part thereof, by virtue of a title derived under
East-Jersey. By order of the general proprietors,
