HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

The Hon. Stephanus Van Cortlandt being now vested in the fee simple, the whole territory was by royal charter erected into the lordship and manor of Cortlandt, which, according to actual survey, contained eighty-three thousand acres. It is said that the governor's fees on this occasion amounted to three hundred pieces of eight.

Over the extensive forests of Cortlandt (celebrated for their fat venison,) the lord of the manor was constituted, "the sole and only ranger, to have and enjoy all the benefits and perquisites, &c, that of right doth belong unto a ranger according to the statutes and customs of the realm of England." In fact there was a paramount right in the superior lord for the range of deer within the manor, as parsel of the forest; a right which might consist with free Chace and Warren on the mesne lord.

The Lords of Cortlandt had power to hold one Court Leet, and one Court Baron in their territory for the collection of fines, &c, to which the several wards in the manor owed suit and service.
