first Question
       Whether or no M.r Rileys Warrant came not to his hands before Coll.o Bealls & how
       long and whether it were not first Entered into This Book?

       He could not well remember justly but he thought at the least it ab.t a fortnight
       that he had M.r Rileys Warr.t before he had Coll.o Bealls & at the same time he gave us
       the Warr.t he likewise gave me an Entry very near agreeing with the Lines of
       the Land as tis not surveyed

       advice to know w.ch Warr.t should be served first?

Answer
       That at the Request of both parties I writt up to M.r Carroll for his opinion w.ch
       Warr.t ought to be Executed first M.r Carroll accordingly sent the following answ.r
       M.r Hugh Riley What to say to the surveyor for not Executing your Warrant I can
       not tell having no power over him the surveyor Gen.ll Cap.t Smith is the man y.t can
       either make him do it or cause some body else to do the same if you have Entred yo.r
       Warr.t with the surveyor & told him of the Land you would have him lay it upon he can not by
       the Duty of his Office lay it out for any other pson & if it be not within the antient & reall bounds
       of any other survey could not be deprived of it I can not say further in it if I could do you any
       kindness I should be very ready w.ch is all at p.rsent from yo.r Friend & serv.t

       could not deny him a pattent upon those terms upon w.ch Coll.o Darnall determined
       that Riley should hold that part of the Land between Chellsey and Major Sewells Land
       and renew Rileys Warrant &c Dawson &c in Six Months to pay Riley his reasonable
       Cost and Charge he had been out
