| Constitional History of Connecticut (2760 words) |
| The three towns of Newtown, Dorchester and Watertown were municipal corporations in Massachusetts, according to the definition of Judge Shaw, because they had been there named and invested with corporate powers. |
| When they came to Connecticut it was by permission of the Massachusetts court, and as town organizations, and these were recognized and continued as such in their new homes, in the Massachusetts commission; when the latter expired these town organizations did not die with the commission, but continued on in full life. |
| Agawam (now Springfield) at first united with the three other towns by sending committees to the General Court, but afterwards withdrew from her concert of action, and maintained a separate and independent existence for some time after the confederation of the three towns was consummated. |
