Humphry Vaulx attorney of Robt. Vaulx vs. John Mewse. The plaintiff by Symon Robins his atturny petitions that haveing surveyed 6000 acres by order of Court hee findes severall parcells of the land possessed by severall persons, especially the defendant who notwithstanding being forewarned doth still by force keep the possession, comitting waste and damage, and praying that the defendant may be ousted and ejected out of the premises, and that a jury may inquire into the damages. Arthur Spicer, atturney with the plaintiff [sic] and others demurs to the plaintiff's declaration and for plea saith that true it is that the plaintiff might have an order for the surveying a patent of 6000 acres granted unto Mr. Robt. Vaulx 1 May 1655, but noe survey ever to his knowledge made by Vaulx doth in any wise affect him, or can, for that the bounds of the pattent and more especially the begining was never yet found, neither is he within the patent upon any warrantable and legall survey, such as can conclude him in his title, therefore the plaintiff his declaration ought not to maintaine against him, and prays the action may be dismist. Butt the Court being desirous to settle and continue all persons in their legall and just rights doe order that the Sherriffe doe summon a jury of the vicenage such who are noe way allied to plaintiff or defendant or any way interested in the lands in controversie to make their appearance att the next Court when all exceptions shall be heard and determined against them or any of them, and because the lands in the pattent doth abutt upon and adjoyne to the lands of the County of Rappa[hannock] Mr. Arthur Spicer whose inttrest in that County is not unknowne to this Court, is desired to bring or perswade to come to the next Court such able, discreet and knowing persons of that County who can or may give any light or directions of this platt its begining and courses, marked or naturall, that soe, if it shall be thought requisite, they may bee added to the surveyor's jury or their depositions then taken for further light and directions, when the Court alsoe will take care to qualifie approved surveyors and prefix a time to finish this long delayed worke.
