That some of the Proprietors of a Tract of Land in this Province commonly known by the Name of the Minissink Patent, having Filed in the Secretary's Office a Map and Partition of the said Tract, in pursuance of an Act of the Lieut Governor, the Council, and General Assembly, intituled " An Act for the more Effectual Collecting of His Majesty's Quitrents in the Colony of New York, and for Partition of Lands in order thereto." I think it my Duty to make some remarks thereon, whereby it will appear that the said Proprietors have greatly Intruded on the Kings Lands, to the prejudice of his Riglits and Interest in his Quitrents, waveing aU other Exceptions, wliioh may be justly taken to the Legality of this Partition

The Said Tract, in the Patent Granting the same, is described and Bounded in the Words following. Viz " Situate lying and " being in the Counties of Orange and Ulster, Beginning at a " Certain place in Ulster County called Hunting House or Yagh " House, lying to the Northeast of the Land called Bashees " Land, thence to run West by North untill it meet with the " Fish Kill or Main Branch of Delaware River ; Thence to Run « Southerly to the South end of great Mnissink Island ;-- « Thence Due South to the Lands lately granted to John Bridges
