Description
He informs Wilson, as one of the agents for managing the dispute over the private right of soil to lands on the Susquehanna, that application has been made to Congress for a court to try the said right; the Council desire him to prevent any step being taken until the General Assembly meet on the first of next month; the late Assembly were of opinion that the claimants were not entitled to such a court, and no appointment or decision ought to be made until the sense of the present Assembly can be known.
