security for making a title, and a convey
ance was sighed by him, which mr. Clark
took, but hath never procured it to be
p'rovcd or aeknowled ed in order to be
recorded, nor have ] lmce seen or heard of
him. Many circumstances made it neces
sary for me to take the legal title into my
power, and am ready to confirm a title
to mr. Clark, or his qffignee, on receiving
the balance of the purchase money, pro
videdapplication be made within six mouths;
but, after that time; Ishall notsithink my
self obliged to do more than return the
60]. received; as I shall be under a neces
sity of selling' the land to some other per
