It w«ts «'it the siune court which thus severely criliciM*d the S;dem minister and church that a |>etition, presented by the representatives of S;ilem, and claiming; tide in the name of the town to certain lands, was laid on the table IKMulin^ the settlement of these tlisputes. The action of the court in sodoin^ was no more than mi^ht bee.xpectetl of ordinary human nature probiibly ; but it was a mi.\in(; Digitized by VjOOQIC of two distinct questions, which should have been kept se|Kinitc.
