upon " having surrendered up the said grant and caused the same to be vacated upon record" obtained a Warrant of Resurvey, with liberty to amend the error, not running for that purpose into any elder survey. ¾     Francis (x) Armstrong of Talbot county obliges himself to take up five hundred acres of good land towards the head of Choptanck River for the use of Peter Sharpe in consideration of the said Sharpe's letting fall and relinquishing to Armstrong the rights of a survey of that quantity adjoining the other's land:¾the said five hundred acres to be taken up by the "same rights or Warrant" as served to take up the former land: at foot of which agreement is the the following, viz.     " This above said five hundred acres of land which was formerly taken up by me I do lett fall, it being not cleared of Francis Armstrong's land, as witness my hand the twentieth of the fifth month one thousand six hundred sixty five."     LIBER No.9, fol. 86.         " MR. JENIFER,     Mr. Winslow is willing to let fall the parcel of land called New Harbour containing seven hundred acres as by a note from under his hand may appear, wherefore pray please to make it void out of my certificate delivered into the office August first one thousand six hundred sixty five.                 Pr. HENRY PARKER, Deputy Surveyor.     " I, Samuel Winslow do hereby acknowledge to relinquish my interest of the land surveyed for me in Tuckahoe Creek called New Harbour, containing seven hundred acres and now entered into the office for me and in my name the same hereby I desire to let fall and make void as witness my hand this two and twentieth of September one thousand six hundred sixty five. SAM: WINSLOW.         TEST( Francis Armstrong.                  (Henry Parker.         LIBER No. 9, fol. 162.     " The Honourable Charles Calvert Esq. returns two " Warrants into the Secretary's office, one for one hundred acres " dated the eighteenth of August one thousand six hundred     (x) Armstrong's obligation is dated the " nineteenth day of the third month called May;" the fifth was of course July. The reader will be aware that this was in the old style, under which the year began on the 25th of March. The singularity observed in this contract, of naming the months by their numbers, cannot be well accounted for, as no other instances of it have been perceived, and the people who now have that practice were scarcely tolerated in Maryland: strangers (at least) of that description being treated, when found in the Province, with indignities which I do not chuse to mention.
