[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] The wording of the act of incorporation is as follows: The district of country in the Town of Mount Pleasant, contained within the following limits, that is to say : Beginning at the Hudson River, where a run of water, hetween the lands of Daniel Delavan and Albert Orser, empties into the said Hudson River, north of Sing Sing, from thence eastwardly on a straight line to the house occupied by Charles Yoe, and in-cluding the said house, thence southwardly on a straight line until it intersects the Highland Turnpike road on the south line of Samuel Rhodie's land, from thence westwardly on the south line of William Street's land to the Hudson River, and thence northwardly along the said river to the place of beginning, shall hereafter be known and distinguished by the name of the Village of Sing Sing. A curious provision contained in the charter of Sing Sing was a section empowering the trustees to enact a by-law " prohibiting any baker or other person within the aforesaid limits from selling any bread at any higher price or rate than bread of like quality at the time of such sale shall be assessed in and for the City of New York by the corporation of said city, under the penalty of one dollar for every offense." This was occasioned by the high price of breadstuff's then prevailing, which afforded temptations to bakers to charge ex-orbitant rates for their wares.
