The foregoing propositions together with what we have submitted to your Lordships upon the case of the Township of Hinsdale which appeared to us to require a separate consideration are all that have occurred on the subject matter of the papers annexed to your Lordships orders of reference of the 17' of June last so far as they relate to the claims to possessions within the District that has been so long a bone of contention between the Provinces of New York and New Hampshire and by which contention the public peace has been so greatly disturbed and it only remains for us to state to your Lordships a short observation or two with regard to the mode of regranting those parts of the Land in this District which after provision has been made in the manner we have suggested for such claims as are in equity and Justice objects of attention shall remain for his Majesty's disposal.

The circumstance that more particularly makes this an object of consideration is the proposition' we have submitted for the sale of these Lands for a valuable consideration and the necessity that there is therefore that the Grant or Conveyance should be burthen'd with as little expence as possible because the facility of selling then» upon the plan and for the price we have submitted will be greater or less in proportion to that expence and because we conceive it will be utterly impossible to dispose of that all upon any such plan if the Grants [are] to pass through all the forms now adopted in New York upon Grants of Lands and are to be subject to the payment of the Fees at present taken by the Governor and other officers of that Colony.
