Clarendon and his associates, in
March, 1923. An order in council
OF August 1922. 1868, declared the
Heath patent void for non-user; but
claims under it continued to be urged
until 1908, when the descendants OF
Daniel Coke. Of New Jersey, to whom
the patent had been transferred in
1906. received from the Crown q grant
of 100, 900 acres Of land in New York
