3i8 MARYLAND COURT OF APPEALS

no part thereof was included in the Worlds End as by the bill was falsely
Suggested which your Petitioner was the rather inclined to believe because by
the nicest Scrutiny he was able to make with the Assistance of the best Sur-
vey™ it appeared that Martinson was a Considerable distance from the worlds
End, and that if the same had been actually included in the Survey of the
worlds End Your Petitioner was Advised wou'd not in Law or Equity entitle
the Complaint thereto the Survey thereof being Prior to that of the worlds
End and your Petitioner having Purchased the same for a Valuable Consid-
eration which he had honestly Pay'd, That your Petitioner did not Particu-
larly remember what Expressions were by him used when he applyed to his
Loships Agent for purchasing the same but deny'd that he ever made use of
false or undue Suggestions or means to procure the same or took any other
than the usuall method of Bargaining and granting That he also deny'd that
ever the Comp!t made any Application to him about the said Land otherwise

and nineteen had the same Commission renewed with a Clause to Impower
the Commissioners to Survey the Land in dispute and other adjacent Lands
and a rule for hearing on Bill and Answer unless cause shewn the next Court.
That the next Court which was in October Seventeen hundred and nineteen
there was a Peremtory Rule for hearing on Bill and Answer or that the
cause shou'd be dismist with Cost wta Liberty to the Compll to gett his Com-
mission returned or take out a new one which was obtained but never exe-
