The Bill further states that certain

for him in matters of this kind, and par
tlcularly to attend to his interest, if any

The Bill also states that said lands are
not susceptible of partition among those

u 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 Hugh w.

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 Compliments, by causing a copy
OF this order to be inserted in some news
paper printed and published in Hartford
county, once week in each of four sue
cesslve weeks three months before the first

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

why decree ought not to pass as prayed,
and in default of such appearance and
