Sol Finding #1123 — Plattsburgh Lot 252 Reservations

1848 ch.311 authorized sale of refugee-tract lot 252 only with three carve-outs: state stone quarry, half-acre schoolhouse site, and one-acre burial place — not proof of conveyance.

Sol Finding #1123 (repo 1848-plattsburgh-refugee-lot-quarry-school-burial-reservations, commit 98c276f): New York Laws of 1848 chapter 311 (Apr 12, pp.441–442) let Land Office commissioners sell all or part of lot 252 in Plattsburgh (Clinton County Canadian/Nova Scotia refugee tract) only if deemed in the state’s interest, while expressly withholding:

the state’s control/right/property in the stone quarry then on the lot;
the half-acre holding school district number seventeen’s schoolhouse;
the one acre then used as a burial place.

§2 repealed §6 of 1845 ch.70 (state-prisons amendment) only insofar as it conflicted — a limited cross-reference, not a full repeal of the parent prison acts. The statute proves neither actual sale, deed, quarry extraction, nor burial identities.
