A committee appointed in May, 1758, to inspect the encroachments made upon the lands of the city, in the Out Ward, submitted its report Jan. 9, 1760. One paragraph reads:
"That there is a Large Vacancy in the Centre of the Aforesaid Compass of Ground extending Southwestward from the Southwest Boundary of the Weylandt patent; but how far (for want of Further discoveries which Can only be made by Tedious Searches after Old patents in the Secretarys Ofiice) or whether the same extends quite to Greenwich Lane we Cannot as Yet say. which Vacancy from what we have hitherto discovered is Occasioned by Two Tires [tiers] of Patents the Rears of which do not meet Each Other; how this Vacancy Came to be Left out of the Adjoining Patents we think is Easily determinable if it be Considered that the aforesaid Vacancy is an Entire Swamp: which sort of Land it is well known was not Antiently esteemed worth patenting this Vacancy as far as we have hitherto discovered its Extent is Possessed by Antie Covenhoven Thomas Clarke and the Representatives of Sir Peter Warren on the one Side and John Dewit and Jacobus Home on the Other the whole Appears to us to be a Very Large and Valuable piece of Ground Tolerably Covered with wood: . . . Thomas Clarke upon Our Demanding his Terms informed us he had none to make with this Board." — M. C. C, VI; 199 et seq.
