AT A General Court Held at Boston, January 28. 1684.

WHereas the Law concerning Building with Brick or Stone in Boston, seems to Prohibit all manner of Building or Buildings, though never so small of Wood or Timber; And in regard there is a necessity of many convenient Places about Houses to be built for shelter, which cannot be conve­niently done with Brick or Stone:

This Court doth Order, That it shall and may be lawful for any Person or Persons to Erect any small Building; Pro­vided, it do not exceed eight Foot square, and seven Foot Studd, of Wood or Timber; any Law to the contrary not­withstanding: Provided they have the Approbation of the Select-men of said Town.

By the COURT, Edward Rawson, Secr'.
