PAGE 164. SUFFOLK COUNTY, SS :
Whereas, on the 9th day of November last Jolin White appealed to the County Judge of said County, from the order and determination of the Commissioners of the town of Southampton, in said County, made on the 13th day of
178
RECORDS : TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
May, 1853, and filed in the office of the Town Clerk on the 27th day of October last, purporting to ascertain, describe and enter of record certain roads therein mentioned ; and whereas the said County Judge, on the 27th day of April last, at the house of Chas. Howell, in said town, in pursu- ance of an appointment for that purpose duly made, did attend and hear the proofs and allegations of the parties on such appeal. Now the said County Judge does hereby determine that so much of the said order and determina- tion as purports to ascertain and describe the road begin- ning at the west end of Job's lane at the south-west corner of the home lot of the heirs of Stephen Sayre and running to the house of Augustus Reeve, and also the road leading from the north-west corner of the homestead of Barney R. Green to the north-west corner of the homestead of Merrit Culver be affirmed. And that so much of the said order and determination as purports to ascertain and describe the road leading from the house of Augustus Reeve to the house of John White be reversed. It appearing to said County Judge that such order reversed does not correctly describe the said road as it has heretofore existed.
In testimony whereof I, William P. Buffett, County Judge of said County, have hereunto set my hand this Sth day of May, 1854.
