1 The land sold to John Dyer was sold by Major William Bradford in 1698, and is described in the deed as running on the street northeasterly "as far as the northeasterly corner of the old storehouse which formerly stood on the lot." It was the lot on the south side of Leyden Street, opposite the Univer- salist Meeting-house, on which the house with a brick end stands. Whether the old storehouse referred to was one of the very early structures is left to conjecture.


The " spot of land on which the old Meetting-house stood," was the upper part of the Odd Fellows' lot in Town Square. This land was sold by Major William Bradford to John Murdock in 1698.

1 It does not appear with certainty that the work of making a stream was done at this time. No further reference to the matter is found in the records until October 28, 1771, when the Town voted "to choose a committee to consider about making a way for herrings from South Pond into Eel River, and accord- ingly made choice of Thomas Foster, Esq., Lemuel Jackson, Ichabod Holmes, Stephen Sampson and William Watson, Esq., a committee for that purpose, they to view the place and report to the town what they think best to be done in said affair at the next March meeting."


On the 16th of March, 1772, the committee reported and another committee was chosen "to take into consideration the matter of the land through which the brook may run, whose property it is, and to examine the laws of the Prov- ince respecting alewives and the brook through which they do or may run, and to examine the records and all matters and things respecting said way." The committee chosen for this purpose consisted of "John Cotton, Esq., Thomas Foster, Esq., Deacon John Torrey, Mr. Stephen Sampson and Mr. Jeremiah Howes."


On the 13th of April. 1772, the report of the committee chosen October 28, 1771. was read as follows:


" The committee appointed by the town at their meeting in October, 1771. to take a view of South Pond and the passage from thence to the Brook that leads from Finneys meadows into Eel River, and report their opinion whether there may not a convenient passage or brook be made to run from said Pond into Eel River for the alewives to pass up said Eel River into said South Pond to cast their spawn; the major part of said committee have attended that service, and a number of people being desirous of making a trial offered their services to labor part of a day upon free cost, and did stop the water, and dug a passage thirty or forty rods long, and on opening a passage found a very considerable brook run down, quite large enough for alewives, and are informed a very considerable brook runs ever since, though we do not apprehend that what is dug already is sufficient, yet your committee are of opinion that a sufficient passage may be made with not more than thirty pounds cost to make a sufficient brook for the alewives to pass and go up out of Eel River into said Pond to cast their spawn."


" And further, your committee, on the best information, find that numbers of alewives annually come up the Eel River, and doubtless if there was a good passage dug would go up the said River and Brook into said Pond to cast their spawn, and we are of the mind that there is the greatest probability, if the affair be well managed. the Brook would soon be very profitable to the town."


On the 15th of March, 1773, it was voted by the town " to choose a committee of three men to clear the passage for alewives from Eel River to South Pond : also to carry up in hogsheads one cartload of alewives, the first that come in the town brook this year. and put them into said South Pond ; and Thomas Foster, Esq., Deacon John Torrey and Mr. William Warren were chosen."


The above extracts are interesting in view of the disputed point as to whether the South Pond Water course is natural or artificial. A fair inference to be drawn from them is that before the year 1701 there was no outlet from South Pond, and that in that year one was dug which, proving insufficient, was re- opened in 1773.
