HE Year Book for rgoo contained a calendar of the Orphans' Court and a synopsis of books of two Nota- . ries Public during the Dutch period. The city had A already published a series of volumes 'containing the proceedings of the Burgomasters' Court. Other books in the Clerk's office contain records of conveyances of real estate and mortgages for a brief period of the Dutch refglnze. Valenlz'ne's Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York for 1857, 1861, and 1865 contained brief abstracts of some of these conveyances, without any index. Indexes of conveyances and mortgages, however, are found in the Clerk's'ofIice and we have prepared a copy thereof and have indicated the pages of Valen- Z'z'ne's Manual on which the abstracts of conveyance can be found. There is also a volume in English in the Clerk's office, which is unlabeled and unindexed, containing grants of lands from the Indians and from the West India Company and a few miscel- laneous items. As these are not in chronological order it is evident that the book is not an exact translation of an original book of record. We give the names of the grantees just as they appear and have prepared an alphabetical index which follows. The volume contains a description of the land. The numbers are of the pages of the book in the Clerk's office. We first give an abstract of the contents of this last mentioned vol- ume-it being understood that the heading does not appear in the book but is adopted by the compiler. 1 I2I . - I I, sv
