What action, if any, was had upon this l)etition does not appear, and we hear no more of claims by the Indians.

Soon after this time Colonel Heathcote petitioned the Governor and Council, praying that the title to his lands might be confirmed, and the same erected into a manor, by the name of the Manor of Scai-sdale; whereupon the Lieutenant Governor, Naufan, and Council, directed a writ to issue to the highsherifl' of Westchester County, to inquire what damage such patent could be.
