APPENDIX.    XXXIII.

shall and may be lawful for the commissioners of review to put the appellant or appellants in to quiet possession of the lands and tenements contained within the said bounds, with a saving to all persons who may have a better right to all or any part of the said land, whether by superiority of title, or priority of survey, which also shall be a rule to the land commissioners of the first view, any thing in this or the former act to the contrary notwithstanding.
