" By the Governor and Council,
" 16th of June, 1730.
" Forasmuch as it is represented to this Board that
" several persons have attempted to procure Warrants &c. to
" take up lands heretofore supposed to be Manor lands, and
" likewise lands already leased or otherwise reserved for his
" Lordship's use.
" It is the opinion of this Board that such lands ought
" not to be taken up by any person whatsoever, but be and
" remain to his Lordship as land reserved for his own use
" although not contained within the bounds of any of his
" Lordship's Manors.
" It is therefore ordered that no person or persons be
" permitted 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 likewise ordered that no Warrants be located
" upon lands reserved or appropriated to the use of the
" Indians.

" Whereas his Lordship, the Right Honourable the Lord
" Proprietary of the Province of Maryland hath Ordered
" to make a resurvey upon all his Honours, Manors, and
" Lands, and to enlarge the same, on both shores of this
" Province.
" I do hereby in the name and behalf of the Right
" Honourable the Lord Proprietary order and require that you
" forthwith cause a reserve to be entered for his Lordship
" on all vacant lands rough or cultivated, and on all
" lands that are or may become escheat or forfeit to his
" Lordship adjoining to any of his said Honours, Manors,
" or lands, or within the distance of three miles from them
" or any of them.
" And that you likewise acquaint the several surveyors
" within this Province thereof, that they may behave themselves
