Through want of enclosures, many encroachments on land
are made. All persons desirous of having their bounds marked
are to bring in a bill of complaint to Chancery, Exchequer,
Presidential Courts, or Justices of Oyer and Terminer, when
a Commission or order of perambulation will be granted to
mark out the bounds. A ditch 4 foot deep and 5 foot broad,
set with two rows of quickset, is to be made at once and
kept in repair. Offenders punished by Council. No high¬
ways to be stopped or barred up, but convenient passage
to be left for carts and carriages.
