William St. John, etc. appraisers of the land on said execution, to be estimated according to the same rule it was appraised by them before for quantity and quality; said deed to be executed and delivered to the town clerk of Norwalk by the first of next June, etc. for the use and benefit of the petitioner under a penalty.
