OTHER GRANTS. 



Besides the lands granted to various corporations in aid of 

 purposes of public benefit, before mentioned ; considerable 

 quantities have been granted to discharge claims against the 

 Commonwealth for services rendered, or losses sustained in its 

 service ; also to relieve and quiet those who had settled on them, 

 under the expectation of a free grant or easy purchase of lots 

 for their own cultivation, others for the purpose of making 

 roads to and over different parts of the public lands. Other 

 grants also have been made, by way of compromise, to satisfy 

 conflicting claimants under some of the ancient crown grants 

 or Indian deeds, and to put an end to lawsuits, and restore quiet 

 to the inhabitants and others interested in or affected by them. 

 It is not at present easy to discriminate exactly the amount of 

 the lands granted for each of these several purposes ; nor will 

 it be of much importance. Their gross amount may be discov- 

 ered after deducting the amount of grants and sales made for 

 other purposes, from the whole quantity alienated.
