Title
Encroachment of Intruders on Proprietary Land
Description
Kirby describes in detail the efforts of squatters to take control of land owned by Hodgdon, Pickering, and Coxe. He worries that once these lawless hoards are permanently ensconced on the land, it will be difficult to dislodge them. Perhaps the legislature can effect a remedy.
