Thus the long, troublesome, expensive,
discordant and doubtful controversy
with Connecticut was settled, and put to
rest, after sixty-fve years litigation. Rhode
Island succeeded in her claim, though not
to the ful! extent Of her pretentions; but
when we consider the influence arrayed a.
gainst her at some periods of the dispute
land we must confess her title was not une-
quivocally clear we think she had no great
cause to complain of the issue.
There remained nov but one more boun-
Diary question to settle to put Rhode-Island
IN possession of her charter limits, which
was the Eastern boundary of the Colony !;
Massachusetts still kept possession of that
portion of Rhode Island Colony in defiance
Of her grant from King Charles the ID. a
