Memorialists were informed that Jonathan Randell has applied for a grant of a certain tract of land lying between the lands granted to Daniel Durland and others and the common land of the settlement. This land is not fit for cultivation, and the memorialists request that the land be granted them for the whole community, "as cutting the timber on this land will expose the whole settlement to the violent blasts and injurious fogs of the Bay of Fundy."
