On the reverse of the foregoing paper are reasons of appeal in relation to an action between the town of Ipswich and Mr. Joseph Jewett. The latter reserved the commonage when he sold the house he bought of Nath. Stow and laid it out to a house he built on the plain. When they divided some islands Maxemilian Jewet had the house in behalf of the two youngest children of Joseph Jewett. Nehemiah Jewett had in his division his father's house in Rowley, etc. They hope the law about the sea ebbing and flowing, not ebbing above one hundred rods making pro- priety to low water mark will not be made use of against them as it has, to 500li. damage, and they ask that Nehemiah Jewett's house having been built long after this against the town's con- sent and contrary to an express law made in 1660, the town may not be obliged to grant him commonage, etc. "Our Towne being a greate Towne & the most considderable next Boston in beareing publick charges we hope this court will be tender of docing any-
