of an equal number of acres in some other part of the District
lying between the Rivers Hudson and Connecticut, And that in
cases where any actual improvement has been made, the possessor should receive fifty acres of waste lands for every three
acres that have been so improved.
That all other Grants of Lands made by the Governt of New
York within the district before mentioned antecedent to any
Grants made by the Governt of New Hampshire, be confirmed,
provided it shall appear that possession hath been taken and
improvement made thereon.
That all Townships laid out within the said district, either by
the Governors of New Hampshire or New York, and which do.
not include Lands within the Limits of some antecedent Grants,
be established as Townships, according to the limits expressed
in their respective Charters, and that all persons posessed of
shares in those Townships, whether as original Grantees or by
Inheritance or conveyance, and upon which shares actual settlement and Improvement have been made, be quieted in such
possession, without being bound to any other condition of quit
rents or otherwise, than what is contained in the original Grant.
That some short and effectual mode be established, by act of
Legislature or otherwise, for ascertaining by the Inquest of a
Jury, the state of possession, settlement' and Improvement,
upon all lands within the said district, claimed under grants
made by the Governts of New Hampshire or New York, and
that all such Lands, which shall by the verdict of such Jury
appear never to have been possessed or improved, as also all
other Lands, which have not been granted, be disposed of in
such manner as the King shall think fit to appoint for the
disposal & granting of waste lands, within the Province of N.
York, provision having been first made for an equivalent to
such of the Claimants of Land, under Grants from New York
within the old Massachuset's Townships, in manner as before
directed, and also for making good to the Commissioned and
non Commissioned Officers and Soldiers, the amount of their
several allotments, under such warrants of survey as they may
have already received, in consequence of the Royal Proclamation of 1763.
