I BEN pREBLE, of B.een, in the County OF
~ Syfsll, merchant, that in the yea. one
thoufand ieve. hundred and hIiy hve, his
father, JrpInIAB PKrBLE, late OF Portland, FL
quire, decealed, was proprietor OF lot OF
land, hiuate in Middle :treet, IN taId Portland !
and fometime afterwards fad JfDIpIAH Told
the fame to his fon JEpIDIAn PREBiE, Jun.
who fold to Jo.fPH BARBOUR, part OF iaid
lot of land, (being the eadwardly part thereof
as reprelented in the plan herewith preiented.)
In the year 1881, the faid 5esidiab Prs6ls, Sen.
intended to convey to your petitioner the rel
idue of faid lot of land, (alio deicribed on the
PLAN, but the perion employed TO make the
conveyance, did not dei:rbe laid reldue, but
referred tor Description to the deed OF dr
fbp, Goe4zpia, and to that of f Krigbf, to iaid
Jsdsi:aB, Senior, when, in fact, part Ut the
land, in thole deeds deicribed, was the lame
which had been by the faid ..fs3iiiSb, Junior,
conveyed to iaid barbour as aioreiald. This
miltake was not then difcovered, and the iaid
Elm. went into poiIeilon of the land Intend
ed to have been conveyed, and has been in
pohelIon thereof ever fsce. The miltake
has been very lately discovered, in conie-
quence of an inveftigatisn of title, by per-
Ion " tho intended 40 purchaie from HIM The
iaid Eben further reprefents, That the land 10
conveyed, by faid Jedidiab, Junior, to iaid Bar
hour, aud which faid Barbo1,, and thoie claim.
ing under him poiless, has been built upon,
and has become very valuable, and much
more 70 than that part of the land which the
iaid Eben ha, been conftantly IN poheihon oi.
and which was intended to have been convey.
ed to him by faid Jes.iab, Senior. The iaid
Ebea further repreien,s, That he cannot now
have his title to faid land, which was 10 inten-
ded to be conveyed to him, perfected by deed,
oecauie he fad Jsdiliab, Senior, died, leaving
numerous defendants, Come OF whom are IN
Europe, and ione in the ioulhern States, aud
iome of whom are minors; and that although
the deed which his father gave him OF the
fame land which had been previouily convey
ed TO iaid Bo,tOuy, was recorded before the
deed to Babosy was recorded, and although
thereby the legal efiate is veited in him, yet
neither your petitioner nor tie fad JediIab,
had any intention to have fucl ella,c velied
in the petitioner Wherefore the iaid E6eu
prays, that relolve may be pailed confirming
his title to the land which the faid Jelidlal,
Senior, intended to conveyto your petitioner
provided he fhal releaie all right and title to
the lands which the faid Jedisiab, Senior, con-
veyed TO his fon Jeaiiiab, Junior, who con.

HUMBI.Y fhew, the fubfcribers, Directors
IL ofthe Maine Turnpike aaociation, that
by an act of the Legislature, paned March
Sih 1908, the laid Maine Turnpike AGocia-
ton was veited with the right AID power to
erect and make turnpike road from TITO
line of New Hamplhirc 10 Portland, and the
further right TO erect and keep IN repair
fuch bridge and bridges as might be necei-
fairy on laid route. That iaid Corporation
has laid out and located part of the route
from Portland to the line of New-Hampihire,
but before that part of the route 10 Local
ted can be fully completed bridge NUT be
erected from the bank of fore river III PORT
land, over the faid fore river to Maams
neck 10 called in Cape-ElizAbeth and the
eIpence of building faid bridge will be 70
great, that no encouragement at preient un-
der the exiting act Is offered for erecting
the iaid bridge, As the toll which the Corpo-
ration might receive now, provided iaid
bridge was cree a, would not be fufhcient TO
keep the bridge in repair and of courfe be NO
remuneration for the large iums of money
which muit neceilariy be expended to COM
pete 1t Your petitioners further beg leave
to fate to the Honorable Legislature, that re-
peated applications have been made by vari-
Gus perions to complete the mof difficult
parts of the route, for the toll now granted
by the aa of incorporation, but owing to the
magnitude of the undertaking of building
faid bridge, and for merely the confederation
of receiving fuch toll as is now granted, this
part of the route is unfniihed, and the reiidue
of the fame remains alto unhniihed. Your
petitioners therefore, humbly pray, that your
honours, Of on due confederation il ihould be
thought expedien) would pats an act author
izing the Maine Turnpike AfIocia,ion afore.
iad to receive fuch Reasonable toll from thoie
who may pats fad bridge (when it ihall be
completely with their teams, horfes, carriages
or oiherwiie in addition To the toll which they
might now receive, were the bridge erected
as in their wi.dom they may deem equitable
And as in duty bound will ever pray.

These facts all know. Probably all

trict of Maine was exempt from embar-
rassment, above any part of the U. 5.
and as the pretended indulgencies of
government have made no ohening for
them, they are doubly in ured and OPP
pressed, by the adoption of the Non-i

FROM Mr.. cANNInc. =
Foreign Office, Dec. oath, 1895.

DIX,
In my official note of the Esd of Sep
TENDER, l stated to You the probability that
some alterations might he made i'm the orders
IN council, with a view to adapt their opera
ton more e, .ctly to the altered state OF Flu
rope, and to combine all practicable relief
TO neutrats with more severe pressure upon
the enemy.
AS this statement was however only Incl
dental, and as at the same time disclajmed
any intention of taking advantage of such
proposed alterations, in the discussions then
pending between us--seeing that il made.
they would not be founded OH the admission,
OF any OF the principles for which YOU were
conteniinS--it was perhaps not necessary
thae should trouble you with any further
communication upon this subject. hut tbe
order of which have the honor to inclose q
copy, having been passed by his Majesty in
council. on "Wednesday last. am DESTROYS
previously toits actual publication, of ex-
planning to you the grounds on which the
more extended alterations which were in
contemplation, have been suspended.
=. lt was intended to relax i'm a certain de-
gree the regulations of the orders I'M conn
eli, With fespectt to such of the 'powers in
hostility with his majesty as were not or.
should not place the!. elves, in a state Of
hostihty with Spain; but at the same time
' mo iei"Ha..oh WAS extended TO other
powers, to prohibit absolutely by strict, Ri
gorous and unmitisated blockade, all inter
course whatever with France.
che adoption by these powers, who were
TO nave been the objects of such relaxation.
OF the VIEWS and projects of France with
respect to Spain, does away all assignabie
ground of distinction between France & those
powers, and that part therefore of the inten-
ded alterations does not take place
Inc alteration Contained in the inclosed
order in council stands upon separate
ground, and, as have more than once un-
derstood from you that the part of the orders
in council which this order goes to mitigate
is that which was felt most sorely in the u
n'ted States, have great. pleasure in being
authorized to communicate it to YOU
/ ihaVe the honor to be with great considc-
ration,
