Whereupon Elianor Beane Widdow of the Said Walter being Called
appeared by her Son in Law Mathew Hill of Charles County Genl who Sur-
rendred Up the afsd Grant of the Land Called Durham into the Hands of the
said Lord Propry and the Court ordered the Same to be Cancelled Wch was
Done by tearing of the Seale in open Court and further ordered that the
Record of the Said Patent be vacated obliterated and Scored out by the
Honble the Chancellor of this province And this Court Do Adjudge ordr and
Decree the said Parcell of Land Called Durham in the Said Patent named to
be seized into the hands of the Lord Proprietary And that the said Lord
Propry (Notwithstanding the Grant afsd by the Said Walter Surreptitiously
obtained) is Lawfull [791] And Right owner of the said Land and Premisses
and Every part and parcell thereof and the Same May or Dispose of at his
pleasure.
We find that it Doth not Appear by the Chancery Proceedings but that

ham was Surd for the Said Elizabeth before the impetration of the Writt of
