The Bill further states that a certain

for him in matters of this kind, and par.
ticularly to attend to his interest, if any
he has, in said land.
The Bill also states that said lands are
not susceptible of partition among those
entitled without loss and injury, and that
a sale of the same and the distribution of
the proceeds would be of advantage to all

are unable to agree upon partition or
sale of the same and that said HughW.
Williams heirs-at-law, if any he has, and
the said Rees and VIM. R. Williams and

ses, and that said Roberts and Morris may

for sale of said land, and for partition and
distribution of the proceeds under the
order and direction of the Court, and for
an order of publication against said nom
residents.
1t is thereupon adjudged and ordered,
that the Complainants, by causing copy
of this order to be inserted in some news
paper printed and published in Hartford
county, once week in each of four sue
cessive weeks three months before the first
day of September next, give notice to the
said non-residents of the object and sub
stance of this bill, and warn them to appear
in this court in person or by solicitor, on
or before the said first day of September
next, and show cause, if any they have;
why decree ought not to pass as prayed,
and in default of such appearance and
