Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ancient Documents Relative to the Old Grist-Mill: With Some Remarks on the Opinions of Messrs. Hunter and Greene, Counsel Employed by the Town to Examine the Same
I will now venture to differ in another point from Mr. Greene. He seems to think that sturdy farmers are not to be bound by the rules of the common law; and, therefore, when they made a grant to John Smith, of land to build a mill, it was intended that the mill should always be kept in repair, and relies on the circumstances of the times for this construction. Waiving for a mo ment the rules of the common law, in regard to the construction of conditions, let us, as Mr. G. Says, consider the circumstances in which the parties were placed, and the object of the town inimak ing this grant.
