| Order to Bourg & Mangeant to Visit Chippody. |

Several persons who merely got leave to visit and mark out lands "laying about Chippody, Memramcoup and Petitcoutiak" and report on them, have taken possession of and improved large portions of the crown lands, disobeyed repeated orders and defied the Government, to the prejudice of one another and causing "great Confusion and Disorder amongst the inhabitants." B. and M. are ordered to visit these districts "to take an Account of all the Inhab’ts of those parts, their Settlements, to Examine their pretentions the Quantity of land they have as in manner aforesaid Posessed themselves of, their Buttings and Boundaries and how they are Situated in Respect to One Another." Then they are to cite said inhabitants to appear before the Governor on or before July 25 next to make good their claims, &c. They are also to make a faithful report of all "your Remarks and Proceedings."
