                                                1674                                                                   (57)

       to the said Indenture and Pattent which pattent ought not in Law or equity by any
       private Act or instructions but what shall be sufficient matter of record and ariseing
       before the said Certificate of Surety made for Thomas Gerard Esq and Pattent
       thereupon duly obteined be any wais accorded or sett aside  And this he is ready to
       avere and demands the judgment of this Court whether the said Letters Pattents
       for the said foure hundred acres of land called the Meadowes so as aforesaid
       made ought to be revoaked or adnulled or the said Lands seized into the hands of
       the said Lord Proprietary &c

                And the said Lord Proprietary by Vincent Lowe Esq his Lopps Attorny Gen.ll
       saith that the said Letters Pattents of him the said Lord Proprietary to him the
       said Thomas Gerard Esq in forme aforesaid granted for the said foure hundred
       acres of land called the Meadowes ought to be revoked and adnulled and the same into
       the hands of his said Lopp ought to be seized because he saith that long before the
       takeing up of the said Land by him the said Thomas Gerard the said Lord Proprietary
       the same Land had referred for his owne proper Use and did by his instructions
       to his Governour there make knowne the same who did publish and declare the
       same to his Lopps said Council and his Lopps Surveyour Gen.ll of the said
       Province which was sufficient notice of his said Lopps reserve as well to the
       said Thomas Gerard as all other the Inhabitants of his Lopps said Province
       and that the said foure hundred acres of Land called the Meadowes is
       part of his Lopps said Mannour of Choptico and within his Lopps said
       reserve  And as to the remaining part of the said plea that the said reserve
       was not entred upon record it ought not to debarre him the said Lord Proprietary
       from causeing the letters pattents aforesaid to be vacated it being the
       lackes and negligence of his Officers which ought not nor cannot prejudice
       him the said Lord Proprietary and that no prescription of time can anyway
       prevaile against him the said Lord Proprietary and this he is ready or averr
       and thereupon demands judgment and the defendant likewise

                Whereupon it was Considered by the Court that the aforesaid Letters
       pattent of his said Lordshipp the Lord proprietary shall be revoked cancelled
       evacuated adnulled and for void and invalid had and esteemed and also that the
       inrollment of Record of them shall be cancelled and adnulled and for void and
