Walker six acars of his devidend of land att Crabmeadow that this our mutuall agreement is wittnessed by our subscribeing this 19 of Sept 1677.


[*At this period upon the death of a person it was the duty of the constable " to repair to the house and inquire after the manner of death and of his will." If a will was found the constable was to read it in the presence of the widow, children and relatives, and make inquiry of the estate and report to a magistrate. Administration was granted to the children or widow; appraisers were appointed by the court, and if neces- sary to raise money to pay debts, the estate was sold at an "out-cry." Wills were to be recorded within thirty days by the Clerk of the Court of Sessions and the latter was to certify it at the Recorder's office in New York.


The usual practice was for the father in his will to give his sons each a farm, and his daughters each a heifer, but there are some notable exceptions .- C. R. S ]

[*The Duke's Laws provided that any Christian or Indian who should bring the head of a wolf or whelp to a constable should be paid twenty shillings. The rule was at first to pro- duce the ears, but as the Indians passed off dogs' ears for genuine wolf's ears, the law was changed to require the produc- tion of the whole head with the ears on, and on payment of the bounty the ears were cut off and destroyed. The Court of Assizes required every town to maintain wolf-pits .- C. R. S.]
