ported that he laid found two grants, ogre in which said canpumv
granted to ML's. Anderson rights, in cosuft with others, a right-
6P:w y, -over land from her house to Massachusetts avenue., and
the second grant in which the same company granted to Mrs. '

from the land of said grantee to said subdivision. Mr.Stevens
