him. But Converse would not admit a permanent defeat, and six months later, December 10, 1670, he brought action against Collins for review of the case. The witnesses in the review were mostly for Converse. They testified that after the court the mare was carryd to Mr. Collins but she came back again, and being fetched away she returned again after harvist. When lett gow at liberti shee might agon away, but would not at any time. Jacob Cole, Samuel Frost, John Carter, Johnathan Wade, Thomas Gleason, Jermiah Sweyn, Samuel Champney and others all testified that the mare and colt belonged to Converse, that she was not branded, and that colt's teeth were found in hir mouth and that she was coming five years old. One witness testified shee was going six years old and had never been branded. It is evident that the mare and colt claimed Josiah Converse as their owner and his farm as their home. As the mare would not remain at the Collins farm, and could not be of much use to him, it i

As the grantor is thus (a year subsequent to his removal from the president's house) styled of Menottimy within the [west] precinct, it is not impossible but that he then occupied the house purchased of Robert Long, which, though in the territorial bounds of Charlestown, was but a short distance from the line and in Menotomy field.

The Cambridge Comon in the above was the common or pasturage land of Cambridge, which then included Lexington in its bounds. Referring to Henry Dunster's deed to Broughton (see register, Vol. XIII, p. 10) we find conveyance of two Rods broad for a highway (from the sd Mills) to go too & fro betwixt the said Mills & Concord way throu all the land of the said Hen. Dunster till it shall come to the publique country highway to Concord, and that Thomas Gleason was one of the witnesses to the same on March 6, 1656. Evidently this was the Wayes mentioned in Prout's deed of 1710 and corresponds to present Winter street in Arlington. As pertinent to these conveyances and the site of the old Broughton mill we refer to our frontispiece and acknowledge the forethought and interest of Mr. Hooper in securing the two views of the mill site just before obliteration.

and modern. Consulting our dictionary we find a tower to be a structure tall or lofty as compared with its basal size, and are referred to spire, pagoda, campanile and steeple as related thereto. We remember that in our earliest schooldays a geography or atlas had upon its cover a grouped picture of the world's then tallest buildings, the great pyramid of Egypt forming its background. Its apex of five hundred feet was the limit of human constructive ability. Contemporary with it was Gleason's Pictorial, which carried into many homes, weekly, a view of Boston from the harbor, its crowning feature the State house dome and cupola, accentuated by the many church spires of that time. That was before the age of steel and the erection of modern office buildings; and no one thought then that the granite custom-house would grow to a height exceeding Cheops, or of a three-hundred-foot structure in Medford. The same authority (the dictionary) tells us that towers were originally buil

e court proceedings as reported by him, and by the same publishers, in 1821. Still another, probably elicited by the first named, deals with the publicity given to the reputed penitence of criminals, and is a careful exposition and defence of the then existing law. A later publication of forty-eight pages, in 1845,— Mike Martin, or the last of the highwaymen. A Tale of Reality—was by F. A. Durivage, the editor of the Olive Branch, and frequent contributor to the columns of the famous Gleason's Pictorial of the '50s. As his work was twenty-four years later, it is evident that whatever reality of the tale there was, he derived from the earlier one of Waldo, With his vivid imagination and ability in embellishment, there was a woman in the case, and Durivage's work, like many others, is very readable, but not altogether reliable. His book was illustrated by a wood-cut, showing Martin upon a horse, overtaking his victim in a chaise (its top turned down), lashing the horse, and dire
