General Assembly November 01, 1790 - December 15, 1790 Volume 25, Pages 64-115 CHAPTER XLI. An Act for Making Conformable to the Plan, the Second Courses of a Tract of Land Lying in Jones County Formerly Craven, Granted by a Patent to John Richards, Bearing Date the Twenty-Fourth Day of November, in the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Eight, Containing Three Hundred Acres Lying on Both Sides of Trent River. Whereas, it appears from the plan of the survey of the aforesaid tract of land granted to John Richards, that the surveyor through mistake hath inserted in the certificate, in the second line, a wrong course, whereby part of the land intended to be granted is left out of the patent: I. Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passing of this Act, the courses of the aforesaid tract of land shall be as follows, to-wit: Beginning at a pine, the original corner, on the south side of Trent river, from thence south thirty east two hundred and forty poles, then north sixty east one hundred and eighty poles, then north thirty west two hundred and forty poles, then south sixty east one hundred and eighty poles to the beginning; and that all the land contained within the aforesaid lines, be vested in the aforesaid John Richards, his heirs and assigns, forever. II. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all persons claiming by, from or under the said John Richards, by gift, deed, purchase or otherwise, are vested with an absolute right in fee simple to the lands purchased as aforesaid: Provided, That this Act shall not be construed or pleaded so as to affect any right derived otherwise than claiming by or under the said John Richards.
