KING GEORGES NAME
Scratched Out of Old Time Deed by
 Derby Patriot.

In the town clerks office at Derby, says the Ansonfa Sentinel. is an old book that is designated Land Record No. TO-" It is yellow with age. and the cover is sadly in need of repair. It covers the period immediately pre- ceding. during and immediately follow independence, on July 4, 1776. and while a land record book is probably the last place writers of history would look to see what was the spirit of the age. yet the deeds recorded there deeds were filled with the spirit of in- dependence that threw off allegi- ance to Great Britain and established the government of the United States.
 The defiant note was heard every where. long before 1776, but still no one in Derby had the temerity to risk nullifying a title to land, except, per haps, as 1t was risked in taking part in some meeting or in some other action that might lead to confiscation of property, until on May 1, 1776. Lem uel Nichols purchased piece of land J from Azariah Pritchard
 Then apparently Nichols had reach ed a state of mind in which he abso lute1y refused to have anything to do with King George the Third. for in- stead of the transfer of land being subscribed to in the usual form, the record shows that a pen had been boldly drawn through the reference to King George and in its place appeared simply the day of the month and the year with the words "Anno Donlini." ]" Instead of the deed reading, Tn wit ness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal on the first day of May. in the sixteenth year of the reign of our Sovereign lord, George the Third of Great Britain, etc, Anno Dominf, 1776," it reads, sIn witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the first day of May, Anno Domini. 1776." It was a bold stroke of the pen, for it not only involved the validity of the title, but in case the temper of the co1onists should change was prima facie evidence of treason.
 It was evidently Nichols who fn- sisted on this change. for he was the purchaser of the land, consequently the deed had to be made out to suit him. He was the one likely to lose the most by the transaction, although the others were undoubtedly guilty of treason against King George. These were Joseph Wheeler and Charles French, who witnessed the instru- ment, and the act was high handed. In the case of MT. French. who was the Justice, and who took the acknowledg- ment, it would be interesting to know something of the man who first took this step in Derby. A great many other deeds were made out about this time, but none of them departed from the usual form until later.

defendants were charged in an indict-
ment returned by federal grand jury
