Forasmuch as Sequin hath so long delayed in making satis- faction for the mare that was killed by his Indeans, the Court thinks meet that a prmptory answer be required of him, and in case full satisfaction be not therevppon giuen, that prsent in- telligence shall be giuen to Quinipiouck & or neighbour Plant- ations, that we shall accoumpte of him as or enimy, in regard of that affornt & many other insolent caridges of his, and shall speedily right orselues of him. The Gouernour & Mr. Deputy are desired by the Court to agitate & issue the whole busines.
Forasmuch as the Court, takeing into consideration the prsent condition of these Plantations, doe find a great expence yerely to be laid out to fetch in supply frö other prts in such comodityes as are of necessary vse, and not knowing how this Comonwelth can be long supported vnlesse some staple Comod- ity be raysed amongst orselues wch may in some sort answer and defray the chardge,-haue therefore thought requisite that all incouridgement be giuen for the full imployment of men & cattle for the improvement of such ground as the Country af- fords for English grayne where yt may be raysed wth lest chardge ; for the speedy furthering thereof liberty is graunted to all such persons wthin these Plantations as stand disposed to imploy theselues or their estats in husbandry as aforesaid, to find out any sutable grownd wthin these libertyes yet vnpossest, where the said Englishe grayne may be soonest raysed, and haue graunted to ech Teeme a hundred acres of plowing grownd and twenty acres of meadow, prvided they improue twenty acres the first yere, wch is to be accoumpted fro the date of these prsents, & eighty acres the second yeare, and the whole hundred the third yeare. And for the orderly prceeding therein,
59
OF CONNECTICUT.
the Court hath desiered the World Edward Hopkins Esqr. Gour, Mr. Deputy & Mr. Willis to appoynt and sett forth the forme and order how ech mans prportion shall be laid out, togather wth a competent quantity of vpland to the same, and to alowe to the owner of ech Teeme a competent lott for a workman wch may be helpfull to manadge the busines and carry on the worke; as also to admit inhabitants (if any place so found out shall be iudged meete for a plantatio) and to sett out their bownds ; and those prsons who first giue in their names to the Comittee, to vndertake the worke and attend to haue their diuisions sett forth, shall be first searued in order as they com, next after the Comittee haue made choyce for théselues : But if any prson so vndertakeing the manadgeing of a hundred acres, or a lesse prportion, vppon the terms before mentioned, shall neglect to prforme the conditions before specified, or be vnable to accom- plish the same, the Court hath researued power to dispossesse him or the of the grownd, giueing such resonable satisfaction for the chardge bestowed thereuppon as the said Court shall judge meete. And if any prson or prsons tendreing theselues to vndertake the manadgeing of 100 acres as aforesaid shall be judged by the Comittee vnable or vnmeet for the worke, not likely to prforme the conditions in so great a quantity, they may ether refuse to admitt such or alowe a lesser prportion to them.
It is also Ordered, that what stocke shall be remoued to any such place, shall be levied to the Towne frö whence yt came, as if yt were resident there ; And the chardge disbursed for makeing wayes or any comon benefitt to such place, shall be paid by the land wthin the said liberty, as yt shall be taken vppe [57] and possest. | But when such Place shall becom a Plan- tation & be at chardge to mayntayne Officers wthin theselues, then other considerations may be had by the Courte.
Whereas yt is thought necessary for the comfortable support of these plantations, that a trade of Cotten wooll be sett vppon and attempted, for the furthering whereof yt hath pleased the Gouernor, that now is, to vndertake the furnisheing and setting forth a vessell, wth convenient speed, to those parts where the said comodity is to be had yf yt proue phesable : In considera- tion whereof, as also fro the considerations in the former order
60

specified, It is ordered by the Authority aforesaid, that vppon the Returne of the said vessell, the Plantations by prportion shall take offe the said Cotten, at such valuable consideration as yt may be afforded, according as chardge shall aryse and acreue thereuppon ; the pay for the said Cotten wooll to be made in Englishe Corne or Pype-staues as the Country shall afford : The prportions to be diuiyded and laid vppon the seu- 1 erall Townes are according to the division of the last Country Rate.
And for the better prsearuing of Tymber, that the Country may haue prvisions of Pypestaues for the furthering the said trade of Cotten wooll, It is Ordered that no Tymber shall be felled fro wthout the bownds of these Plantations, wthout lycence fro the prticuler Courte, nor any Pipestaues to be sould out of the Riuer wthout alowance fro the said Courte, nor transported into foraigne prts vntill they be vewed (by such Comittee as the said Court shall appoynt) and apprued by such to be vendable, boath for the goodnes of the Tymber, and due prportion & size thereof.
The prticuler Court also is desiered to take order for the veweing of Pequot Country and disposeing of the Tymber there, as also to settle Inhabitants in those prts yf they see cause, so far as yt may be acted wthout chardge to the Country.
For the pruenting of differenses that may arise betwixt the Plantations fro trespasses by Cattle wch are ofte necessitated, by reson of their bordering on agt another, It is Ordered, that Nathaniell Waird, Andrewe Warner, Mr. Plum, Robert Rose, Mr. Porter & Tho : Ford, shall take into their serious consid- erations how the grownd belonging to the seuerall Plantations may be best imprued, so as to sute ech others conuenience, whereby their Corne may be prserued and their Cattle keepte wth lest chardge of fencing or herding, as may most conduce to the comon good, and deliuer in their apprhentions to the next Generall Court.
Whereas yt is obsearued that many skins and felts of Cowes & goats, through want of pruident prsearueing and seasonable bringing forth to dressing, suffer great losse, It is Ordered, that whatsoeur skins are or shall be in any mans hands wthin these libertyes shall be carefully prsearued and seasonably brought in

to such as improue the, vnder such penalty as the Court shall inflict vppon the neglect thereof, and that care be taken in fleeing the skins, the neglect whereof occasioneth great losse.
