run and measure the distance to such boundary, which shall be at the end of the line; nor are you to return to the land office any platt or certificate for land of which either you or your assistant have not actually measured every line.     4th. You are by no means to survey, or return a certificate for, a greater number of acres than are expressed in your warrant, unless to include the whole of such vacancy as shall lie between any two or more tracts of land; giving this as a reason for having exceeded the quantity mentioned in your warrant.     5th. As soon as you execute any warrant, or any part thereof, you are to endorse on the back of your warrant that it is executed, or that such part thereof (which you must specify) is executed: you are also to endorse the name or names of the land to which the warrant is applied, and sign the same endorsement.     6th.

Whereas resurveys are often made to leave out land that is suggested to be within elder surveys, and great abuses have been committed by turning out indifferent land although it lay not in elder surveys or prior patented tracts, and taking in good land in lieu thereof, you are when a warrant for making such resurvey is hereafter brought to you, first to resurvey
