Bill	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 7 OF THE DELAWARE CODE AND CHAPTER 108, VOLUME 62 OF THE LAWS OF DELAWARE, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 99, VOLUME 72 OF THE LAWS OF DELAWARE, RELATING TO CLARIFYING THE WARNER GRANT TRUST AND THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY AS ARBITER OF DISPUTES REGARDING THE WARNER GRANT TRUST LAND.	In 1682 or 1683, the Sussex County Court, created by William Penn, created the land grant that is the subject of this Act (“Warner Grant”). As this Act describes, the Warner Grant consists of land in and adjacent to the City of Lewes largely consisting of what is now Cape Henlopen State Park. As the United States District Court for Delaware would later find, the Warner Grant created a “right of common” held in trust for the benefit the people of Lewes and Sussex County. See United States v. 1,010.8 Acres Situate in Sussex County, 56 F. Supp. 120 (D. Del. 1944).	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	152	SB 6	Delaware SB 6 (152)	bill		enacted	Bryan Townsend Cyndie Romer David L. Wilson David P. Sokola Kerri Evelyn Harris Laura V. Sturgeon Paul S.
