Book Description

Excerpt from Boundary Line Between the States of Maryland and Virginia: Before the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, Hon. Wm; A. Graham, and Hon. Charles I. Jenkins, Arbitrators Upon the Boundary Line Between the States of Virginia and Maryland Lord Baltimore submitted to the Hopton Grant, and his successors have submitted to what has been done in pur suance of it, without murmur or remonstrance. Maryland Statement, p. 48. The conclusions to be drawn from these transactions are: 1. That the river did not pass, and was not meant to pass by the Maryland charter Of 1632, but remained part of the reserved domain of the king. 2. That even if there be expressions in the charter to that effect, of which the king was advised, the grant, under the facts and circumstances of the case, as to that part of it, is without effect.
