and have a shackle put upon his leg for resisting his master's authority, and theft and speeches in court, being advised by John Pearce, Mr. Batter's man. John Bartoll1 was a witness in court. Robert Adams was ordered to be set by his heels in the stocks for being uncharitable to a poor man in distress, taking his canoe, charging the court with injustice, etc. William Lord for Thomas Burwood and Christopher Berry, who "went for Ould England," moved and the court ordered that John Woodbury and Peter Palfrey measure one-half of an acre of land at Thomas Oliver's new house.
Oct. 7, 1640, the general court appointed John Winthrop, jr., Simon Bradstreet, Emanuel Downing, Mr. Hathorne and Mr. Tynge to "set out" the bounds between Ipswich, Jeffry's Creek and Cape Ann.
On the same day, the general court ordered that unless every grantee of land record his deed, it should not bind any one other than the parties thereto and their heirs, when the grantor remained in possession of the premises, even in the case of a mortgage. Upon being requested to do so, by the grantee, the grantor had to acknowledge the conveyance, and if he should refuse to do so he would be liable to arrest and imprisonment, without bail, until he should submit; and in the meantime the grantee should enter his caution with a brief statement of the deed with the recorder. About 1652, deeds began to be recorded in full. The earliest indexes were either written at the beginning of each volume, or in pamphlets, one for each volume. This practice continued until about 1880, when an index covered a year's records at a time; and about that period the old indexes began to be revised and consolidated by periods, the first being those of 1640 to 1799, the next from 1800 to 1819, etc. In this

revision, the locus of the premises was given. Emanuel Downing was appointed the first recorder for the district of the Salem quarterly court He probably kept the records at his house, on Essex Street. This law did not apply to grants of common lands by towns. Thus, the registration of deeds began, and has evolved into the great and important system of the registry of deeds which exists today.
By order of the general court, a road from Rowley to Ips- wich and from Ipswich to Salem was laid out by a committee, and ordered. to be recorded May 1, 1640. For Salem, the return was signed by William Hawthorne with the consent of Lieutenant Davenport and Ensign Reade. That part of the return which concerned Salem was "by Mr. Hubbard's farm house, and so on upon the east side of Mr. Smith's house, and from thence, by like consent of Salem men, over the old planters meadow, and so to the two ponds usually dry in summer, near which ponds the way doth branch, one whereof is easterly of the said ponds, leading through the old planters field to Salem ferry, according to the marked trees, and the other way is westerly of the ponds, leading to a great creek at a landing place westerly of Mr. Scruggs' house." The way leading from the two ponds southerly is now Dodge and Balch streets and the way leading westerly from the ponds is Conant Street. The landing place was where the last named street crossed Frost-fish River. The two ponds were within the triangle formed by Cabot, Conant and Dodge streets.
Oct. 11. 1640, the town granted to Captain Trask half an acre of land adjoining to the new mill; to William Towne "a little neck of land right over against his house on the other side of the river": to Mr. Stileman the one-fourth acre of marsh "which Mr. Emery should have had and three quarters more lying in the flaggy marsh at the upper end"; and to John Saun- ders and Ralph Fogg a quarter of an acre each, "over against their lots as you go to the old mill." It was also ordered at this meeting "that none of the common within the cattle range shall be granted henceforward, to any man for any particular use. And the range of the catt'e at the Forest River head where the fresh water falls in and where the salt water floweth at high water mark shall be a line southward up to Mr. Humfry's farm and from thence to the pond, and so about to Brooksby.'
"A pinnace called the Coach, being in her voyage to New Haven (late Quinipiack) between Salem and Cape Cod, sprang a leak, so as in the morning they found her hold half filled with water; whereupon the seamen and passengers betook them- selves to their skiff, being a very small one, and the wind then growing very high at S. W. Only one Jackson, a godly man and an experienced seaman, would not leave the vessel before he had

tried the utmost, so getting them in again, and laying the bark upon the contrary side, they fell to getting out the water, which, it pleased God, they overcame, and having a fine fresh gale, they got safe back to Salem." This was recorded by Governor Win- thrip under date of Dec. 15, 1640.1
At the Salem court Dec. 29, 1640, Benjamin Hammon, ser- vant of John Hardy, for saying that "if you see my master you little think what is in him for he is a very hasty man," was found to be a "rash, unsettled and indiscreet young man, ready to run into divers enormities if let free," and was ordered to serve his master a year longer.
Jan. 20, 1640-1, the town granted to Allyn Convers twenty acres of planting ground next to Mr. Endecott's farm, lying by that lot which was Richard Norman's near the head of the river, in exchange of twenty acres formerly granted to him ; to Thomas Putnam fifty acres of land and five acres of meadow; and to John Putnam2 one hundred acres of land at the head of Mr.
