	The Lords Proprietor's Seal and Patent to John Wyche, 1699
		It was issued to an Englishman named John Wyche (a relative of the then-Palatine or chief Proprietor), and conferred on him the status of Landgrave, with the right to claim 48,000 acres of land between Cape Fear and the Savannah River.
		In the late 1690's, the Lords Proprietors were anxious to implement their elaborate scheme for a colonial landed aristocracy, in an attempt to stabilize Carolina politics.
		The change was formalized by an Act of the British parliament in 1729, "an Agreement with Seven of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina, for the Surrender of their Title and Interest in that Province." A pristine copy of this Act was also donated with the 1699 grant.

		The proprietors, or their designees, were empowered to, among other things, create offices and fill them, establish courts and commute sentences or pardon offenses, designate political subdivisions, incorporate ports and towns, raise troops and wage war, and collect fees and taxes.
		Although the Lords Proprietor’s plan for a colonial nobility may have reflected their ideals of social stability under the restored English monarch, it also became a practical selling device to selected individuals attracted to the possibility of owning a large tract of land and the privileges presumed to go with it.
		The proprietors were given power by the charter to create counties; to build towns, cities, and forts; to establish a judicial system; to train soldiers and to wage war when necessary; and to confer titles of honor.

	McDermott Will & Emery Events
		The Lords found that neither the Hearing Officer nor the Court of Appeal had erred in their consideration of the law and that, on the facts of the case, Nestlé had failed to show that the phrase “HAVE A BREAK” was inherently distinctive under Section 3(1)(b).
		In other words, the proprietor can only control use of his mark that affects the function of his mark, that is the ability to indicate the origin of the goods or services on which it is used and that only use by a third party to indicate origin can affect that function.
		However, in R v Johnstone, an appeal to the House of Lords, concerned a prosecution under the criminal provisions of the 1994 Act, the House of Lords came to the same conclusion on the ECJ’s analysis of the law in Arsenal as the court at first instance.

		The plan was to anchor social stability on a hierarchy of manor lords, with Lord Baltimore at its pinnacle.
		The lords would control large grants of land developed by tenants; they would have power to settle disputes and punish breaches of the peace; and they would occupy the high provincial offices and provide support for Calvert leadership.
		This act was abrogated in 1654, when Lord Baltimore lost control of his colony to the Virginia interests that had so long opposed him, but he achieved a settlement in 1657 that restored his government and with it the act.

	Portrait of Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord - Enoch Pratt Free Library - Baltimore, MD

	Broadwell Family
		Realizing that the "Nicolls Grantees" might cause trouble, as they openly opposed proprietors and the payment of quitrents, Governor Carteret made a proclamation, late in 1664, to the effect that all inhabitants of Elizabeth Towne must take the oath of "A Leagance and Fidelity" or be deprived of some of their privileges.
		The proprietors were to open the territory for settlement, but little was done until 1770, when the grantees held their first meeting in Newark, New Jersey, on May 10, 1770.
		Had the Ostranders given birth to a son, they would have received 50 acres of land from the proprietors, as this had been set aside as a prize for the first boy to be born in the settlement.
