LAND-HOLDER'S ASSISTANT. 151

" same, which was granted him with a reservation to the said
" George's right in case he recovers his senses.
        " Lay out, therefore, and carefully resurvey for and
    " in the name of the said Thomas, yet for the use of the
    " said George if in case he recovers his senses, the
    " aforesaid tract of land according to the ancient meets and
    " bounds, including what surplus land shall be found
    " therein contained: not running your lines, &c. (h)
    " PROVIDED a title be produced for the above land
    " prayed to be resurveyed, patent is to issue; if
    " otherwise, the certificate to be cancelled and laid aside."

 LIBER A.A. fol. 431.

¾

    " Robert Freeland of Calvert county, by his petition
(September 23d, 1734) set forth that he was seized in fee of and
in two hundred acres of land, part of a tract called Freeman's
(or Trueman's) Choice; which said 200 acres had " by mesne
conveyances, alienations and mutations of possession become
the right" of him the petitioner " under metes and bounds:"
That upon inspection he apprehended there might be surplus
land within the said bounds, and vacancy contiguous thereto.
He therefore prayed a special warrant to resurvey the same,
&c."

    In the margin of the record appears the following entry:¾
" This warrant is made void, the petitioner not being seized
" in fee, as therein is set forth. TEST,

                                        "G. BEDDOE, Clk. L.O."

        LIBER E. E. fol. 448.

¾

    It is proper to observe that immediately after the
above-mentioned warrant, and on the same day, is recorded a special
warrant in the said Freeland's name for forty acres adjoining
the same land. His want of title therefore was immediately
discovered, and the vacating of the warrant of resurvey may
have been at his instance, but the proceeding shews that the
want of a title in fee was sufficient ground for annulling a
warrant without the objection being made by caveat.

¾

    " Deborah Carnall setts forth that a certain person had
surreptitiously obtained an order for the resurvey of a tract of
land called Graves, upon a suggestion that it was his
property and in his possession, when in fact it was the property of
the petitioner.

    (h) This appears to be a particular order added probably at a
subsequent time to the record of the warrant.
