Whereas William Crawford, in the year 1752 laid out a parcel of land, on the south side of Elizabeth River, opposite to the Town of Norfolk, into one hundred and twenty two lots, with commodious streets etc. and petitioned the then legislature to erect the aforesaid lots into a Town, by the name of Portsmouth, at the same time he give to the said Town, four lots of land, one for a Court House, one for a Jail, one for a Market House, and the fourth for a Church, for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the said Town which the legislature on his petition and grant established his lots etc a town by the name of Portsmouth. The inhabitants under the aforesaid grant, shortly after, built an Episcopal Church, The other three lots remained vacant, until the inhabitants of the aforesaid town, petitioned the legislature in December 1800--their seat of justice, from the town of Washington, to the Town of Portsmouth, where the Court House, and Jail now are and were built by subscription by the inhabitants, thereof, and on the third lot, are built the Jail and Clerk's Office--and that there now remains vacant, a considerable part of the lot, on which the Court House, is erected, and that it would tend greatly to the health and advantage of the inhabitants of the aforesaid Town, if the vacant land was leased out as the present situation of the land is a very great nuisance from the number of clay holes on the lot, holding stagnated water, your petitioners therefore pray that an act may pass authorizing the Trustees of the said Town of Portsmouth, to lease out a part of the aforesaid vacant lot, beginning at Patrick Robertson's line on High Stree, and running west on High Street, one hundred and thirty feet, thence north one hundred and thirteen feet, to James Blamire's line, thence east, binding on James Blamire's line, one hundred and thirty feet, to Patrick's Robertson's line, thence south binding on Patrick Robertson's line, one hundred and thirteen feet, to the first mentioned station on High Street, for ninety nine years, renewable forever, in four equal lots or parcels in the same manner as the law passed to lease out a part of the fourth lot called the Market Lot, passed on the fourth day of January 1803--a deference thereunto, will fully appear, which was passed on a petition from the inhabitants of the aforesaid town.
