[*Like the last Indian deed printed, this deed takes in a strip of upland north of the meadows previously purchased of the same Indians, The policy of the whites from the first set- tlement was to acquire the low lands along the coast on both sides of the Island, first, then, as the settlement increased in numbers, slices of the uplands were procured, extending furth- er and further inland, the red man retreating towards the in terior. If he was permitted to hunt and fish on the shores, it was under restrictions and conditions of competition with the superior appliances of the civilized whites, a competition the Indian could not withstand. White civilization pressed upon them from the north and from the south, until they were driven into narrow limits, and gradually, within less than a hundred years, perished away .- C. R. S.]

One of the first acts passed confirmed all the grants, patents and charters heretofore made to the several towns, cities and manors, and to individuals. The Nichols and Dongan patents to this town were among those confirmed. This confirmation has been held by the courts of this State to accomplish the same purpose as a ratification by the English Parliament of the King's grants .- C. R. S.]
