The following petition was presented to the General Court : -
To His Excellency, Jonathan Belcher, Esq., Captain General and Governor-in- chief, the Honorable, the Council, and the Honorable House of Representatives of His Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England, in General Court assembled, May 29th, 1734 :
The Petition of Eleazer Rhodes, Nathaniel Prebble, and John Rhoades, inhabitants of the Town of Stoughton, humbly sheweth -
That Whereas, by the Providence of God, who appoints the Bounds of our Habitations, We, your humble Petitioners, live so distant and remote from the meeting house in Stoughton, that it is difficult and impracticable for us and our Families to attend on the Public Worship of God in Stoughton, it being 6 and 7 miles from sd. meeting House to our Houses; also the Way being very bad, which renders it the more tedious travelling, and inasmuch as we are more con- venient and are near to the Town of Walpole, so as that our Lands border upon the line between the Said Towns, and our Houses are within one mile and an half, and two miles and an half from the meeting house in Walpole, and also did at the very first of the Setting up of the Publick Worship in Walpole join with the Inhabitants there in Supporting the Gospel, and do continue to con- gregate and contribute there, and also have been obliged to pay our equal Pro- portions in all the Taxes with the Inhabitants of the Town of Stoughton.
For these and other Reasons that might be mentioned, Your humble Peti- tioners therefore pray that you would be pleased to let us off from the Town of Stoughton, and our Lands adjoining to our Home Lots, and lay us to the Town of Walpole. Hoping therefore that you will take the Circumstances of your Peti- tioners into your wise Consideration, and that you will grant the Prayer of this Petition, Your Petitioners, as in Duty bound Shall ever Pray.
ELEAZER RHODES, FOR HIMSELF AND THE OTHER PETIT'RS.
In the House of Representatives, May 31st, 1734. Read and ordered that the Petitioners serve the Town of Stoughton with a copy of the Petition, that they shew cause (if any they have) on Tuesday, the 11th of June next, why the Prayer thereof should not be granted. Sent up for Concurrence.

The following petition was presented to the General Court by some of the inhabitants of Dedham : -
To His Excellency, Jonathan Belcher, Esq., Captain Gen! and Govern'r-in- Chief, &c. To the Hon. His Majesty's Council and Hon. the House of Rep- resentatives in General Court convened, May 31, 1738 :
The Petition of the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Town of Dedham, humbly sheweth -
That whereas the great and General Court some years since, upon a Petition of a number of the Inhabitants of the Town of Stoughton, living on the North- westerly side of Neponset River, and adjoining into the first Parish in Dedham, did set them and their Estates off from the Town of Stoughton and annexed them to the Town of Dedham. And again for the like reason the last year did annex Capt. Eben. Woodward, then of Stoughton, unto the Town of Dedham. By which your Pet'rs (having Lots of Land lying interspersed amongst the said Inhabitants to set off from Stoughton to Dedham), as well as the Towns of Dedham and Stoughton, are under some Inconveniences and Greviances, viz. : the Towns of Dedham and Stoughton cannot perambulate the Line and renew the Bonds between the said Towns as the law requires, nor can necessary ways and Bridges be obtained and kept in Repair without great Difficulty, which may be a Discouragement to the further Improvement of the said Lands.
For Remedy whereof your Petitioners humbly pray your Excellency and Honours would be pleased to take the Premises into your wise and just con- sideration, and if you shall see cause for it, make Neponset River the bound between the Town of Stoughton and the first Parish in Dedham throughout, which is so already in great part by the aforesaid Acts of this Hon. Court (the Lands petitioned for may contain in all about 100 Acres of Meadow and about 300 Acres of upland, a great Part of which is a barren Shrubb Plain, and all in the Propriety and Possession of the Inhabitants of Dedham), and your Pet'rs, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
