1874.
The Legislature of Connecticut on the
sth of October 1924, appointed commits
soners to make final settlement of the
boundary line between there and r. Island;
and this assembly appointed commissions
ers to meet those Of Connecticut, with am

the matter.
The Assembly was called and met in
Newport on the Goth day of December 1924,
at which meeting the instructions to the r.
Island Commissioners for running the line
with those of Connecticut were amended,
by striking out the words " to our bounds
given as in our charter" This relaxation
on the part Of r. Island no doubt lost her
considerable territory in the end.
1000 bushels of corn was ordered to be
purchased by the General Treasurer to be
sold by him to the inhabitants, at first cost,
and no person in Newport to be allowed to
purchase more than bushels at once, nor
to repeat the purchase until that should be
reasonably expended"

fore them, conclude; That although the
said Indian Rebels deserve nothing but
total extirpaton from the face of the earth,
for their continued and repeated rebellion
and hostili,ies and Righteousness, yet that
