To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where the affairs of the proprietaries and the towns were not kept separate, as was often the case, a proprietary grant, voted by the town and attested by a proprietary clerk, and also very ancient grants voted by the proprietors in their own name, and even in the name of the town, have been admitted in evidence. A book of proprietors' records, which had been in the possession of the grandfather of the witness who produced it, and for thirty years in the hands of the grandfather's executors, fr...om whom it came to the 183 witness, was admitted in evidence, there being no evidence that the pro- prietary was still in existence with a clerk to keep their records, and no place appointed by law for the deposit of them. If a record in a pro- prietors' book be a distinct record of a vote at a regular meeting, grant- ing to one of their number a parcel of the common land to be held in severalty and locating and describing it definitely, the plain import of sucn a vote cannot be controverted by parcel evidence.
