Act of the Town Council, for regulating and determining the Run and Property of the Gavels and Garden Walls through the different Streets and Lanes of the Town (3 of 3)
This is the back page of a four-page broadside style pamphlet. The other pages can be seen here and here.

The pamphlet, dating from May 1764, details at some length the council's adjudication on the run and ownership of various gavels and walls within the town. This document explains that their judgement is informed by a walk around town in which they inspected the boundaries.

The pamphlet details gavels and garden walls in Footdee Quarter, Green Quarter, Crooked Quarter and Even Quarter.
