              men of the neighbourhood, and a surueyr they doe returne undr
              theire hands to the next Prouinall Court a suruey of Anto Purs and

              each pattent And allsoe a plott of each suruey, The said lands to be
              laid out by a Chaine


              To the honble Charles Caluert Gouernor & Leiutennt Generall of
              the Prouince of maryland and to the Rest of his Honble Councell
                The humble petn of Thomas Hinson most humbly sheweth

                mr Tho: Ringgold that the said mr Ringgold should suruey
              6oo acres of land for yor petr and pattent it in his owne name, hee
              hauing 6oo more of his owne adjoyning unto it and afterwards

              Creeke called Huntingfeild Creeke to this day, and is allsoe named in
              the Pattent But now soe it is, That the said Mr Ringgold doth refuse
              to make an Assignmt thereof Notwthstanding yor petr hath often
              demanded the same, and hath built & Cleer'd uppon the sd land
                The prmisses Considered yor petr humbly Craues That his witt-
              nesses may be sworne, who cann testifye the aforesaid Agreemt,

              Creeke and saith in his Declaracon that the defendt hath built and
              Cleered the said land which thing is not true, therefore the defendt
              prayes that the writt may abate and that the plaint pay Cost & damage
