TITLE I.

TERRITORIAL DIVISION.

CHAPTER FIRST.

BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE PROVINCES OF QUEBEC AND ONTARIO.

44

WHEREAS, by an order of His Majesty's Privy Council, Preamble. bearing date in the month of August, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one, it was ordained that the then Province of Quebec should be divided into two distinct Provinces, to be called the Province of Upper Canada, and the Province of Lower Canada, by separating the said two Provinces according to the following line of division, as set forth in the royal proclamation of the eighteenth of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one, viz.: "To commence at a stone boundary on the North bank of the lake "St. Francis, at the cove West of Point au Bodet, in the limit "between the township of Lancaster and the seigneurie of New Longueuil, running along the same limit in the direction of North thirty-four degrees West, to the Westermost "angle of the said seigneurie of New Longueuil, thence along "the North-Western boundary of the seigneurie of Vaudreuil, "running North twenty-five degrees East, until it strikes the Ottawa river, to ascend the said river into the lake Tomiscanning. (Témiscamingue,) and, from the head of the said "lake, by a line drawn due North until it strikes the boundary line of Hudson's Bay, including all the territory to the Westward and Southward of the said line, to the utmost "extent of the country commonly called or known by the "name of Canada:" and whereas the point to be regarded as the head of lake Temiscaming has never been authoritatively determined, and, in consequence, that portion of the boundary line between the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada, now respectively named the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, North of the said lake, has never been defined; and whereas it was considered expedient by the Governments of the said Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, that the said undetermined portion of the said boundary line between the said Provinces should no longer continue uncertain, and it was, subject to ratification by the Legislatures of the said Provinces and by the Parliament of Canada, agreed between the Governments of the said Provinces, that the point at the head of lake Temiscaming, from which the said boundary line shall run due North, should be determined in the following manner, that is to say:

1. That a line should be surveyed running due East from a monument planted on the East bank of the river Blanche, the position of which monument is upon a map showing the proposed boundary, signed in duplicate by the Honorable Pierre Fortin, formerly Commissioner of Crown Lands of the Province of Quebec, and the Honorable Richard William Scott, formerly Commissioner of Crown Lands of the Province of Ontario, and filed in the Department of Crown Lands of the Province of Quebec, shown and marked with the letter H, and that the said due East line should be continued to the West bank of the river Quinze;

2. That the said line so surveyed should be divided into two equal parts, and that, at the point of bisection, a permanent monument should be planted;

3. That, from the said point of bisection, a line should be run due South through the mainland and through the island marked upon the said map as Island No. 2, until the said line intersects the Southern boundary of the said island, at the water's edge, and that the said point of intersection of the said line with the Southerly boundary of the said Island No. 2, at the water's edge, should be the point at the head of Lake Temiscaming, from which the boundary line between the said Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, should be run due North;

And, whereas the Governments of the said Provinces of Quebec and Ontario have caused the said lines to be surveyed, and the said point to be determined upon the ground, and have also caused to be completed from the mouth of the River Mattawan, a survey of the shores of the River Ottawa and of Lake Temiscaming on both sides, and of the islands therein situated up to the point determined in the manner aforesaid, at the head of Lake Temiscaming, and thence due North to the height of land dividing the waters tributaries of the River St. Lawrence from those tributaries of the Hudson's Bay;

And whereas the said Governments intend to have the survey so made, marked and laid down upon a map, to be signed conjointly by the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Quebec, and by the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Ontario;

And whereas, by chapter 28 of the acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, passed in the session held in the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth years of Her Majesty's reign, and intituled: "An act respecting the "establishment of Provinces in the Dominion of Canada," it is enacted that the Parliament of Canada may, from time "to time, with the consent of the Legislature of any Province "of the said Dominion, increase, diminish or otherwise alter "the limits of such Province, upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the said Legislature, and may, with
