     Forasmuch as it is represented to this Board that several

    Persons have attempted to procure Warrants, and to take up

    Lands heretofore supposed to be Mannor Lands and likewise

    Lands already leased or otherwise reserved for his Lordships

    Use

     It is the Opinion of this Board that such Land ought not

    to be taken up by any Person whatsoever, but be and remain

    to his Lordship as Land reserved, for his own Use aithô not

    contained within the Bounds of any of His Lordships Man

    nors.

      It is therefore ordered that no Person or Persons be per

    mitted to survey or take up any such Lands, and that a Clause

    be inserted in all Warrants issuing out of the Land Office for

    the future restraining the Surveyors from laying out any such

    Land for any Person whatsoever

      And it is farther Ordered that an Entry be made of the

    above Order in the Records of the Land Office for the better

    Information of all Persons concerned therein
