An interrogatory with eleven questions for a case before the Court of Chancery of Great Britain involving a dispute between the Penn family and the proprietors of Maryland about the border. Although unsigned, this document perhaps was prepared by (or for) Ferdinand John Paris, legal counsel in London for the Penn family. The land in question became modern Delaware. The dispute was resolved finally by the Mason-Dixon survey of 1763-1767.
