AMOS HARRISON, Moderator. J. PARKHURST, Town Clerk.
At a Special TOWN MEETING duly called by advertizements according to law, for the purpose of "Enquiring into the en- croachments made on the Public Lands and Highways within the
1

1802.]
Township of Newark, and to consider of, and determine on the propriety of prosecuting the persons who have made encroach- ments on the said Public Lands and Highways within the Town- ship of Newark, and for making provission for defraying the Ex- pences of such prosecutions."
Amos Harrison Esquire was chosen Moderator, and Jabez Parkhurst, Clerk.
The Committee appointed by the last annual Town Meeting to make Enquiry relative to the Encroachments made on the public lands and Highways &c. made report in the following words,. Viz :
" The Committee appointed by the last annual Town Meeting in April, to make Enquiry relative to the Public Lands and Roads in the Town of Newark, and the Encroachments made thereon, Report-
That the first Inhabitants of the Town purchased all the lands of the Indian Natives, and held and possessed the same for a considerable time without any other title. During this possession they divided off to each Individual Inhabitant such part as reason- ably fell to his Lott according to agreements made with the whole, which divisions were usually confirmed by a Vote of the Town Meeting, and Entered in the Town Book now in the pos- session of the Town Clerk.
That besides the Grants to Individuals the Inhabitants of the Town-Reserved to themselves for certain public purposses-In .the first place, Large Extensive Roads without any precise di- mensions to the same, varying according to local circumstances in many cases arising from the broken situation of the ground, and often exceeding Eight Rods in width. In the Second Place- Large pieces of ground for sundry public purposses such as a " Parsonage"-" Burying Ground"-" Training place"-" a Mar- ket Place"-and "a Watering place" and in fact all the lands not particularly and specifically given to some Individual were reserved to the use of the Town. After this occupation and pos- session of the Lands for a considerable time by the Inhabitants of the Town, the Eastern Proprietors set up a right to the Lands, and demanded of the Inhabitants a quit Rent for the same.
This demand was however resisted with great Spirit by the Inhabitants, who refused to pay the quit rent and they were finally abandoned by the Proprietors. But notwithstanding this many of the Inhabitants thought proper to obtain from the Pro- prietors Grants or Patents for their Lands ; And, the Inhabitants of the Town in the Year 1695 or '96 took of the Proprietors a Patent for their Reservations including Roads of uncertain di- mensions in the name of Certain Trustees.
The Committee cannot learn that the Proprietors Ever granted any Lands adverse to the original Divission made by the Inhabi-
24

[1802.
tants, nor adverse to their Reservations, nor in any way to dis- turb the Inhabitants in the disposal of their Lands according to their Original plan under the Indian purchases ; but only granted Patents for the confirmation of the original lots as previously sett off and allotted to each Individual.
That on the beforementioned Public Lands and Roads so as aforesaid reserved by the Inhabitants and confirmed by the Patent from the Proprietors, Individuals have been constantly making Encroachments.
The Lands thus Encroached upon being Enclosed with the Antient Lotts, it is in many cases difficult to ascertain the ancient boundaries, the Land Marks in many Cases being destroyed or removed.
But many Encroachments are so recent as to be Easily ascer- tained, and the Land Marks precisely traced, described and ascer- tained-Especially where Encroachments have been made on Public Lands and in many cases on Public Roads.
The Committee think that the encroachments on and about the Antient Watering Place are wanton and without a shadow of Right, that some of the Trespassers Emboldened by the remiss- ness of the Inhabitants openly avow their intentions to maintain and defend not only their former Encroachments ; but threaten to fence in the whole of the Public Lands and set the Town at defiance.
It is with pain the Committee observe that the mauly and En lightened policy of our Ancestors in providing Lands for Public uses and Capacious Streets, at once calculated to preserve the Health of the People, and to adorn, beautify, and render commo. dious the Town, has been greatly circumscribed by the narrow and selfish dispositions of some of their Descendants and the shameless avarice of more modern Settlers.

CALEB CAMP, SAM'L HAYES, WILLIAM S. PENNINGTON, STEPHEN FORDHAM.
Which Report having been read-The Meeting Resolved unan- imously,

2nd. That the said Committee be authorized in such cases as they think proper and beneficial to the Town, to consent on the part of the Town to settle Controversies relative to the Public Lands and Roads, by Arbitration or Reference.
