A Quorum of the Committee, appointed by the Resolution of the first of June last, having never met, and as we have not been 'informed that Congress have since proceeded in the business we presume it is remaining before them in the same State it was prior to that day upon this suposition we shall take the Liberty of suggesting several matters for their consideration and proposdng certain measures, not only just and satisfactory in themselves, but such as we believe will be effectual in restoring the Peace

of the State.

It is to be observed that all the Lands in that District of Country, which has attempted a Separation from this State under the name of Vermont, is 1st either unpatented and unoccupied or 24ly unpatented and actually occupied or 3¢ly Patented by New Hampshire or Massachusetts Bay and not afterwards patented by New York or 4thly Patented by New York prior to any Patent under New Hampshire or Massachusetts Bay or 5 Patented by New Hampshire or Massachusetts Bay and afterwards patented by New York.

NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANTS. 989

With respect to the first Case the Lands must remain for the future Disposition of Government with respect to the second we have engaged to confirm to the Occupants their respective Possessions together with as much vacant adjoining Land as to form convenient Farms not exceeding three hundred acres each.

With respect to the third we have engaged to confirm the Patents under New Hampshire or Massachusetts Bay as fully as if they had been made under New York without taking any advantage of a non performance of Condition.
