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
