Statement of case of Woodstock, Suffield, Enfield & Somers showing

they were included in ass. by Woodward &

Saffery line of 1642; that line was corrected

in 1713 & by agreement these towns found to

be south of boundary were to remain with

Nasa.& equivalent lands granted Conn. Agree-ment

balanced Simsbury against Woodstock but

both fell below the line. At meeting of gov-ernors

& commissioners equivalent lands were

agreed on, which apparently were never con-firmed

by the governments or royal assent.

It is now questioned whether colonies had

power to give up jurisdiction, whether the

agreement was valid as to jurlsdictlon, whether

- 27-

Mass. can have legal claim to jurisdiction

over towns for which Conn. received no equive-lent

except for the soil, whether the inhabi-tents

Opinion of William Smith, Richard Nicholls & R. Bradley, attorney- gen.

of the charter, it could not be legal

without royal assent. The governments may re-sign
