after, 3d. in the pound to a hundred pounds, and 1d. in the pound for all above 100l., to be paid out of the estate which the execution is served upon. For every attachment of goods or persons the marshall is to have 2s. 6d.; and if he goeth any way, he is to have 12d. a mile beside. And the marshall is to have 2s. 6d. for every commitment in Court, and 10l. stipend for this year to come. Mass. Col. Rec., i. 217. Mr. Mitchelson held this office, equivalent to that of High Sheriff, until 1681, when he died and was succeeded by his son-in-law, John Green. May 2, 1638. It is ordered, That Newetowne shall henceforward be called Cambridge. Ibid., i. 228. This name is supposed to have been selected, because a place of the same name is the seat of a university in England, where several of the Magistrates and Elders had been educated. Dec. 4, 1638. The town of Cambridge was fined 10s. for want of a watch-house, pound, and stocks; and time was given them till the next Court.

ds, June 14, 1682, he writes to the Earl of Clarendon, His Majesties quo warranto against their charter, and sending for Thomas Danforth, Samuel Nowell, a late factious preacher and now a magistrate, and Daniel Fisher and Elisha Cooke, deputies, to attend and answer the articles of high misdemeanures I have now exhibited against them in my papers sent Mr. Blaithwait per Capt. Foy, will make the whole faction tremble. Ibid., 535. During these distresses of the colony, says Hutchinson in 1681, there were two parties subsisting in the government, both of them agreed in the importance of the charter privileges, but differing in opinion upon the extent of them, and upon the proper measures to preserve them. The governor, Mr. Bradstreet, was at the head of the moderate party. Randolph in all his letters takes notice of it. . . . . Mr. Stoughton, Mr. Dudley, and William Brown of Salem, these fell in with the Governor. The deputy governor, Mr. Danforth, was at the head of the other p

ng done them by the defendants is the favor they beg. John Cooper. William Manning. Walter Hasting. Ffr. Moore. The jury rendered a special verdict: If the General Court's grant to Cambridge—for the erecting a ware in Menottimyes River, within their own bounds, be a legal and perpetual title, they find for the plaintiffs five pounds and costs of Court; if not, for the defendants, costs of court. The Court considered the title good. This case is entered in the County Court Records, under date of June 21, 1681, and the papers are on file. The practice of fishing their Indian corn was long ago abandoned by cultivators in Cambridge; but the privilege of taking fish in Menotomy River remains valuable. It has been subject to occasional controversies and litigations since 1681, in all which Cambridge has preserved the rights originally granted; and to the present day Fish officers are annually appointed by the City Council, to take care that those rights suffer no infringement

artford, Conn., purchased of Sarah Beal, widow of Deacon Thomas Beal, an estate at the northeast corner of Brighton and Mount Auburn streets, where the sign of the Blue Anchor was soon afterwards displayed. Mr. Belcher was licensed for the last time in April, 1673, in which year he probably died. In April, 1674, license was granted to his widow Elizabeth Belcher, and afterwards from year to year until she died, June 26, 1680. She was succeeded by her son Andrew Belcher, who was licensed in 1681 and 1682. Capt. Belcher's son Jonathan, after-wards Governor of Massachusetts, was born Jan. 8, 1681-2, and probably in this house. In September, 1682, Capt. Belcher sold the estate to his brother-in-law Jonathan Remington, who performed the duties of host until April 21, 1700, when he died, and was succeeded by his widow, Martha Remington, daughter of the first Andrew Belcher. The Belcher family ceased to be inn-holders May 12, 1705, when the widow and children of Captain Remington sold

o accompany him hither,) surely would not grudge him an honorable burial and a conspicuous stone of remembrance. 2. The peculiar slab, similar, it is said, only to those which cover the remains of Chauncy, who died in 1672, and Oakes, who died in 1681, would more probably be placed over the grave of Mitchell, who died in 1668, than over that of Dunster, who died nine years earlier, in 1659. But if the structure and adornments of the grave point to Mitchell rather than to Dunster, much more itname of this eminent man is spelled Mitchel on the College Catalogue; I write it Mitchell, because, in several autographs which I have seen, it was uniformly so written by himself; and it was written in the same form by his two sons, Samuel (H. C. 1681), and Jonathan (H. C. 1687). It may be added, if this be really the grave of Mitchell, the remains of Shepard probably rest near it, because the widow of these two pastors, as well as their bereaved and grateful church, would naturally desire tha
