SIR,
You are hereby instructed not to run the lines of any
common warrant, special warrant, or warrant of resurvey
already issued, or which hereafter may issue, out of the land
office for common vacancy, into the manors, or lands
heretofore reserved for the use of the late lord proprietary, lying
adjacent to such manors, or which may have been otherwise
reserved for the use of the said proprietary, or which may have
been heretofore set apart for the use of the Nanticoke Indians.
To the several Surveyors.

In Council, 21st Sept. 1782.
SIR,
Although, by the act of the last session, upon which our
instructions were founded, no manor, or reserved lands, can
be affected by a common or special warrant, or warrant of
resurvey; yet the surveyor is not restrained from running the
lines of any tract of land into manors or reserved lands
pursuant to a warrant of resurvey obtained for the purpose of
satisfying the chancellor that that land which may now
appear to be vacancy, owing to the variation of the compass,
was included within the original grant upon which the warrant
of resurvey issued. We therefore direct you to run into any
manors or reserved lands where it is necessary for the above
purpose.
To the Surveyors in the several counties.
