Preface
The records in this volume are a continuation of those of Baltimore Town and Jones' Town previously issued.
They represent certain official acts of the City Commissioners, and are worthy objects of preservation because these acts relate to the establishment of boundaries of sundry tracts of land, opening public highways, etc., as the development of the new City justified the im- provement.
This publication begins where the former volume terminated. The first book brought the records up to the time Baltimore Town ceased to exist, covering a period from 1729 to 1797, in which latter year the City began life as an incorporated institution. The historical thread is now picked up at the incorporation, and runs through the affairs of the City of Baltimore from 1797 to 1813.
The writer believes these records are of sufficient value to justify their perpetuation in type. They are the first of the City of Baltimore, and no argument is necessary to show the desirability of having them handed down to coming generations in typographical form. In fact, it is a question of now or never, for some of the old papers are becom- ing more dilapidated daily, fading and difficult to decipher.
While it is a fact that many of the points or landmarks, referred to in this work, from which surveys were begun, have long since disappeared, not a few of the plats mentioned are yet in the custody of the City Li- brarian, and may be of assistance to those in search of information. The original documents have been followed literally. If the reader finds the same name spelled more than one way the blame must be shifted to the person who manipulated the pen a hundred years, or so, ago. What was written then is given here; that's all.

In pursuance of the Application of Anthony Law to estab- lish the boundary lines of part of Lot No. 602 Situate on Lib- erty street and Dutch Alley owned & possessed by him the said Anthony Law.
The City Commissioners did meet on the 27th. day of May last, having given four days public notice of the time, place & intention of their meeting, and having adjourned from time to time did meet again on the 8th. Instant agreeably to adjourn- ment.
It appears that from the Deeds and Possessions of the prop- erty, that they are at considerable Variance, that the Deed to Shaneberger calls for a line from Liberty street, parrallel with Fayette street which appears from the Testimony of Adam Denmead on oath could not have been intended as he had made a purchase from said Shaneberger of part of said Lot, and not having as much ground on the back line as he had bought from said Shaneberger on the front line he re- quested to have more, but Shaneberger told him he could not let him have any more, as he the said Shaneberger had but twenty four or twenty five feet himself on the said back line : And also on the testimony of Cornelius H. Gist, also on oath, who wrote the Deed for Shaneberger did insert in the body of the Deed the words parrallel zvith Payette Street without any instruction from him the said Shaneberger. And from further Information, & the situation of the Improvement on that part of the Lot, & the improvement adjoining, he the said Shaneberger must have built his house agreeably as he con- ceives was the boundary line of his lot, & not parrallel with Fayette Street, and that he sold to Adam Denmead under those impressions And that Adam Denmead bought & sold under the same.
The City Commissioners therefore, wishing to do justice to all parties, have established the lines of Anthony Law as fol-

\y'
144 RECORDS OF
German and Lombard Streets, of which William C. Goldsmith had complained, and to alter or confirm the same as shall appear to us or a Majority just & proper — Do report, That Henry Stouffer one of the Commissioners by whom the establishment complained of were made, appeared before us & alledged that the said Commissioners were directed & influenced principally bv an Establishment on record made the 2d. day of May, 1806 on the application of Edward Waters presuming they had no authority to question the work of former Commissioners. They measured from the East side of Sharp Street, as then Established sixty six feet, agreeably to the Original plat of the Town, and at the spot where the sixty six feet terminated they made the line on the West side of Sharp street and thereby regulated the same, which work he considered as confirmed by a Variety of Measurements on the said Original plat.
By a recurrence to the Ordinance of the Corporation under which the present Commissioners act, it is presumed they have authority to investigate fully, the principles which influenced the Board to make the Establishment complained of, by William C. Goldsmith, They therefore called on John Hillen, one of the Commissioners who acted when the Establishment was made on the application of Edward Watters, 2d. May 1806, (see deposition of John Hillen. filed) It appears from that paper that the Commissioners then to ascertain the line of Sharp street, on the East side took Stump's corner, on Pratt & Sharp Streets for one point, and a spot at or near the corner of Mr. Dashield's Church on the South side of German lane as the other point, drawing the line of Sharp Street, on the East side, from one point to the other —
To these Data are the following objections .
Stump's corner is not a point established by any record pre- sented to this Board, if it was, that corner is not within the lines of Hall's Addition to Baltimore town made in 1754, but is part of a younger addition, & cannot consequently regulate an Older Survey. — The Spot at or near Mr. Dashiel's Church on German lane & Sharp street, is not established by any record presented to this board. When the afftrmation of Elias Ellicott, & the Deposition of Jehu Bouldin returned with this report are considered, it is presumed no such record exists, both points on which the Establishment of May 1806 was made, failing, the
BALTIMORE CITY. 1 45
present board are of opinion that the Establishment then made in 1806 was founded on improper principles, of Course any thing built thereon must fall with it.
The board then had recourse to the original plat of Hall's Ad- dition made out by Nicholas R. Gay March 25h. 1754 En- deavoring therefrom to locate Sharp street, as it was originally done by Joshua Hall the proprietor, & Nicholas R. Gay the Surveyor, They took into their consideration the outlines of Original Baltimore with which Hall's addition calls to run, The Deposition of Cornelius Howard, & a variety of others returned with this report, a list of which is added thereto : — Also the deeds from Joshua Hall the proprietor to John Moale, Rachel Merryman Now Rachel Stewart, John Hall son of Joshua to Jacob Cromwell, from all which it clearly appeared to this board that Joshua Hall & Nicholas R. Gay located the South east intersection of Sharp Street & German lane at or about twelve feet One Inch & half an Inch, East from the Northwest corner of Mr. Dashiel's Church, As set forth in the Deposition of Cornelius Howard, that spot being nearly the Westernmost point of lot Number twenty eight of Original Baltimore the corner of Sharp street from that point proceeds South agree- ably to the plat.
Having then a point fixed, to wit, twelve feet, one inch & one half inch from the Corner of Mr. Dashiel's Church Agreeably to Cornelius Howard's Deposition, which is two feet nine inches West, from where the South thirty degrees West twenty three perch line of Original Baltimore terminates on the south side of German lane, the present board divided the distance between those two points, and fixed the same as the point from which the East side of Sharp Street, should have taken its commence- ment: From that point they mesured Sixty six feet continuing the line of German lane on the South ; its termination they made to be in the line of Sharp street on the Western side thereof, the spot measures fifty two feet six inches from the Northwest corner of St. Peter's Church, continuing the line of German lane on the South, they then run the line of Sharp street southerly for the west side thereof to another point on Lombard street, which is north eleven degrees & one quarter of a degree east sixty nine feet two inches from the North east corner of Elias Ellicott's house.

To Joseph Townshend, Adam Fonerden, Alexander Mc- Kim, John Diffenderfer, & John Miller Junr. Greeting
The City Commissioners having on the i6h. of April last established the lines of both sides of the falls called Jones' falls, from Market or Baltimore Street bridge to Bridge street bridge, commonly called Griffith's bridge ; And William Bosley & Hezekiah Price considering themselves Aggrieved thereby, & having on the i8h. day of April last prayed an Appeal from the decision of the said City Commissioners —
This is therefore to authorize you to review and examine the proceedings of the said Commissioners, first taking on Oath or affirmation that you will impartially examine the said pro- ceedings, from which the appeal as aforesaid is prayed ; And confirm or alter the same as Shall appear to you or a Majority of you to be just & proper; And return your award in writing within ten days from this date to the register of the City to be by him recorded.
Given under my hand & the Corporate seal of the City of Baltimore this i6h. of May 1810.
Ed WD. Johnson Mayor
of the City of Baltimore.
(Here follows the award of the Commissioners of Appeal.)
We the Subscribers having been appointed on the i6h. day of May 1810 by Edward Johnson Esqr. Mayor of the City of Baltimore "To revise & examine the proceedings of the City Commissioners in establishing the lines on both sides on Jones's
l6o RECORDS OF
Falls from Market or Baltimore Street bridge to Bridge Street bridge Commonly called Griffith's Bridge of which William Bosley & Hezekiah Price had complained & appealed ; And to alter or confirm the same as shall appear to us or a Majority of us just & proper" Do Certify that in attending to the busi- ness confided to us we have discovered that a plot of Jones' Falls was made out & a sixty feet channel marked in lead lines thereon from Market otherwise called Baltimore street, bridge to Bridge street bridge commonly called Griffith's bridge; which plot is on record among the records of the City of Bal- timore, & was, by the port wardens adopted & establish as will Appear by a Minute of their proceedings on record, bearing date the 23d June 1784 — hence we have inferred that the said plot & sixty feet channel thereon marked is the directory by which we were to be governed in the discharge of the duty assigned to us. — In reviewing the lines of Jones' Falls as ascertained by the City Commissioners, a report wdiereof was returned to the Mayor's office under the date of the i6h. day of April last, it appears that the said City Commissioners As- sumed a point for the beginning to be ascertained that is not located on the said plat. —
We do therefore annul & reverse the proceedings of the said City Commissioners & the lines of Jones' Falls by them de- clared to be established. In further proceeding in the discharge of the duties assigned us, we have found Mathews's Wharf, on the Eastern side of Jones' Falls, located on the said plot, & adopted & established by the port wardens as herein before men- tioned, & that Wharf still remaining in the same position it stood when the said plot was made out & adopted, gives, as we conceive, a certain point from whence to derive a beginning of the Eastern line of the said falls & of the sixty feet chan- nel reserved by the said port wardens—
We have accordingly reversed the course & run the distances called for by the said plot from the Northwest corner of said wharf, and thereby ascertained the beginning of the line of the Eastern side of said Falls. & thence running agreeably to the courses & distances called for by the said plot have ascer- tained the whole line of the Eastern side of said Falls from Griffith's bridge to Market street bridge aforesaid, and by a line stretched therefrom at right angles across the falls have

The usual flow of the tide of the Basin of Baltimore formerly from the North side of Camden street round to Light Street is also laid down on this plat as it was then laid down by me, & proved to be within the memory of several witnesses sworn on those surveys. This Deponent further saith, that by meas- uring the distance from Charles Street along the South side of Pratt Street the distance on the said plat appears to be six perches or thereabout And that the distance on Charles Street, South from Pratt street appears to measure about five perches, that the face of the Ground is so altered since he made the above survey by means of filling up, that he is not able at this time, to ascertain the location of the Water as proved on that Survey, but he does believe that the said plat represents its true location as proved in the Chancery Suit aforesaid —

eight & five hundred & forty nine, He has examined the plat now produced to the City Commissioners & verily believes the former flow of the water, Howard's wharf, & the build- ings are accurately laid down : He at one time occupied the Warehouse marked B. having rented it from James Calhoun to whom it belonged When this Deponent first knew How- ard's Wharf the water usually flowed considerably higher up than this warehouse & boats came up to it & received & dis- charged property there: He recollects when James Calhoun & Phillip Rogers obtained permission from the Port wardens to erect a Wharf from the lots number five hundred & forty eight, and five hundred & forty nine. About the year seven- teen hundred & eighty three they began the wharf from Pratt Street at the head of the Dock the distance of two hundred feet from Charles Street, when Phillip Hall who then claimed deep point procured an injunction from the Court of Chan- cery to prevent the Erection of said wharf. After the injunc- tion was disolved Calhoun & Rogers laid out lots on the West side of the dock fronting on a twenty feet alley at the head thereof. This Deponent contracted with James Calhoun for one of these lots, & attended to the building of the wharf at the head of the dock and filling in the ground above it as the tide usually flowed at that time considerably higher up, & within the memory of the Deponent, as high up as within about one hundred feet of Charles Street. This Deponent has since relinquished his claim to said lot to James Calhoun & has now no interest therein, and further Saith that he believes the water flowed up into Charles Street as far North as to within about five perches of the South side of Pratt street.

ejectment cause James Calhoun & Phillip Rogers against Phil- lip Hall he having attended those surveys.
This Deponent recollects himself when the tide of the Basin usually flowed to within one hvmdred feet of the intersection of Charles & Pratt streets on the south side of Pratt street & to within about one hundred & thirty feet of the intersection of those streets on the North side thereof, He well recollects on the survey aforesaid in tracing the upper part of Howard's Wharf which was at that time covered with dirt & had to be dug to find the logs, they traced the North side of the wharf into Pratt street a few feet below the house built by Phillip Hall marked D. on this plat. He recollects the houses marked A. B. C. & D. the one marked A. was on the wharf when he first Knew it the Houses marked B & C were built for James Calhoun and the one marked D. was built by Phillip Hall who then claimed Deep point & was afterwards recovered from him by Calhoun & Rogers in the Ejectment cause before men- tioned. He further says the house marked A. on the plat was occupied as a warehouse by John Mickle as Tenant to Mrs. Rogers as he was informed by said Mickle or Mrs. Rogers.

Abraham Larew was employed by James Calhoun in the year Eighteen hundred & two to do the Carpenter's work of a Tobacco Inspection house on a lot of Ground on the South west intersection of Pratt & Light Streets, which he under- stood said Calhoun had contracted for with the Levy Court of Baltimore County which building is about one hundred & twenty feet on Pratt street & about one hundred and five feet on light street, & he has since done the Carpenter's work for said Calhoun of two brick warehouses on Light street adjoin- ing the South side of said Inspection house three stories high one shed brick warehouse of about sixty feet by One hundred & twenty two feet adjoining these buildings, & a two story brick Warehouse about seventy five feet by One hundred & twenty six feet at the distance of twenty five feet west, there- from.
These buildings were all erected on ground made out of the Basin of Baltimore, as this Deponent well Knows he having

attended to & Superintended laying the foundation of each building. The last mentioned was erected in part on the same ground where a red warehouse of James Calhoun's formerly stood which warehouse this Deponent took down to give room for the other.
The ground where the first mentioned warehouse is erected had been principally made out of the water only the year before by filling up the dock & the wharf on Light Street was built by James Calhoun & the ground filled up for him to its present height as far up as within about one hundred & twenty feet of Charles Street to the Knowledge of this Deponent who has been principally employed by the said Calhoun for the last seven years and has seen great part of the filling up. —

The City Commissioners did meet on the 19th instant, but finding there had been establishments made by their Prede- cessors, under the Application of John E. Howard Under date of the 2oh, of July 1807 which appears by an extract from the records of the city, that the City Commissioners had made two establishments on the 9th day of October 1807 on the West side of said Streets — One on the South west corner of Barre & Forest street, the other being the division line on Forest street so called by them between John E.

It also appears from said Extract that the City Commis- sioners made the return of said establishments on the i8h. day of November 1808 from these Circumstances the board are of Opinion that it was not necessary at present to make any fur- ther EstabHshments on the said Streets, As there were also Establishments made previous thereto, and Corresponding with those of the gh. day of October 1807 —
Therefore resolved to decline the Subject for the present and have ordered the pavers to set the Kirb stones conformable to the aforesaid establishments. Yet it appears very evidently that said street is considerably contracted on one or the other side thereof, so much so, that there is but fifty four feet in some places in place of sixty feet as Contemplated —
