LAND TITLES.
w. The Grants to Great
Proprietors.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

While there were a number of great
proprietary grants from the crown of
England within the limits of the pres
ent United States, all but two were of
such a nature that they bore little or
no fruit and were superseded before
they had come to have any marked ef-
feet ON the course of land titles in the
states in which they were located.
The proprietaries of Maryland and
Pennsylvania, however, created land
systems that were merged directly
into the systems of those states. and
to the accompaniment Of political
rights with the mere ownership OF the
soil
Considerations which moved the crown
of England to grant such dual pro-
prietary rights in America seem to nave
been of a mixed nature. Whlle lhe
first of such grants, that to the Nlr-
ginia Company, was purely commercial
in it's purview, the grant to Lord Bal
timore of Maryland and. to William
Penn of Pennsylvania resulted very
largely from personal favor1tlsm and
a desire to accommodate religious sects
prescribed by the great majority of the
people of England.
The first Lord Baltimore, who was Sir
George Calvert, had been counselor to
two kings OF England ndu attempted "
found a colony on the Island of New
fourdland This failed on account of
the hardships of the location and the
hostility of the French, SO Charles I cut
huge cantle of land out of the former
grant of Virginia to reward his favorite
ina to establish a home in the new world
for the Catholics Of England. The latter
purpose would have been jeopardlzed If
the political fortunes Of the colony should
remain subject to the chances of the con-
test which Charles was waging with the
Protestant parliament of England. and
to secure the end in view, recourse was
had to an institution which was even then
long out of date.
One of the features Of the feudal sys-
tern was that of counties palatine. These
were definite sections of country in which
the overload had absolute Jurisdiction
and was lawmaker and dispenser Of JUS
tice in his own person and not as me-
dunn between the people and the king.

purtenant to the kings castle Of Windsor
in the county of Berks in England, 1t
was declared to be entirely separated and
set off from Virginia and to be constituted
a county palatine over which proprietary
ord Baltimore should have complete
control as that vested in the overload
of the county palatine OF Durham. one
Of the last existing similar divisions of
England, which had probably escaped
change because 1t had become the prop
erty Of the church and was administered
as the bishopric of Durham In order
to prevent any question as to the appi-
cation of restrictive statutes 1t was
further provided that Lord Baltimore
should have not only the rights then en-
joyed by a lord. palatine, but that he
should have all the rights. attributes and
privileges that such an official ever had
possessed or enjoyed.
George Calvert died before the patent
was completed and the proprietorship
fell to his and heir, Cecilius Cal
| vert. and all the land titles in Mary
land prior to the American revolution
are derived from the persons OF this
proprietor and his heirs.
| 1t was the idea of the Calverts to
retain as much as possible of the actual
Ownership of the land in Maryland. and
only in such degree as might be neces-
sary to secure the development Of the
colony. While they issued advertise
ments Offering liberal terms to adven-
lturers and had a definite system of
hand disposition. strict orders were
given to those who governed for the
proprietors that manors were to be re-
served from sale wherever the location
of settlers gave promise of future in
creased values.
| 1t was the intention to transplant the
immortal system from England and to
create a class of lords of the manor
from subletting their grants to ten
ants over whom they would have
control as proprietors and as magis-
trates. being vested with the privilege
of holding a court for the regulation
of matters arising within the limits of
their manors.
| BY granting a proportionate number
| of such manors, the Calverts antici-
pated that the whole body of land
within the state would become more
valuable from the improvements made
by actual settlers, and that the manors
| reserved to the proprietary would so
increase in rental value that the ulti-
mate income would be very large

However, the imperial German

German Advance cof7rmed.

London, Nov. "a. - The respective
commanders of the Russian and Ger
man armies engaged in the eastern
theater of the war are reticent on the
situation in that zone.
Oficial reports are confined to the
briefest statements, in which nothing
is said of the position of the opposing
forces.
However, news from unofficial
sources, and 1t is said to be well
founded, shows that the German ad
vance has penetrated farther into Pc
land than hitherto has been disclosed
and that Warsaw, capital of Poland,
for the second time since the outbreak
of hostilities, is threatened by the
German armies under General Won
Hindenberg.
According to these unofficial dis,
patches, Won Hindenburg's vanguard
now rests on the Lowicz-Skierniewic
line, which Is about forty miles south.
west of Warsaw. This means that
the Germans have travelled about two
thirds of the distance between War
saw and the German frontier.
While these dispatches tell Of vic
tories for the Teuton allies in Pc
land, they also tell of reverses al
other points for the same forces.
Further south In Poland the Teuton
allies are said to have been repulseJ
between Radon and Kielce.

have died down, but the Russians con
