VI. APPENDIX. river, or branch side, and no markt tree nor certein course expresst, the said number of perches shall not be spent away by the severall windings of the river, creek, or cove, but brought to a streight line of that length, or else be regulated by the other courses as in other cases is provided. If land be bounded by a creek or cove runing a certein course or number of perches, as suppose north one hundred perches if that branch, creek, or cove, wear out and expire or unreasonbly winde above five points from the course into the land before the number of perches be determined, so that there be no certeine running constant stream, or certein bed or channell of a stream continuing to the end of the line, or if there be such a windings as aforesaid in cases the line shall be the bounds from the beginning to the ending: provided that all the adjacent lands betwixt the creek and the line before it comes to slant over the branch, creek, or cove, shall be added and taken to be part of the land, that is, so farr as the creek includes as in the ninth example. If land begin att a markt tree by a river, creek, branch, or cove, and so go up or down the said river, creek, branch, or cove, to another markt tree att the mouth of a creek or cove, to another markt tree at the mouth of a creek or cove, and then be prescribed to run a certein course and number of perches by the said creek or cove, and the spending away of the number of perches upon the winding of the said creek or cove, would shorten the line from extending farr enough into the woods and the creek winds outwards from the land, and varying from the course, in this case the full line and prescribed shall be run out and from the end of that line, shall be drawn a line reverse to the next course, which is to be run till the line reverse intersect the said creek or cove, and by that intersection it shall describe how far that tract shall be bounded by the creek, &c. and the rest of the bounds shall in such case be ascerteined by the fourth example. As suppose from the second tree att the mouth of a cove, &c. the line proscribed east one hundred and sixty perches by the cove and bounded by the cove, and the said creek winds away east north east and east line of one hundred and sixty perches shall be run out; and if from the end of the east line the course should be south, then there shall be first a line drawn north to the cove, and that north line shall describe att the place where it intersects the cove how farr that tract shall be bounded by the cove, and then att the intersection the south line shall be begun and continued till intersects a line drawn east to the first tree, and in the fourth example aforesaid, allways provided the south line be not fifty per cent more then it ought to be, but if the south line be fifty per cent more then it ought to be, then the south line shall be the bounds and not the creek or cove; and if the |
