- Scope & content
- Petition: defmes area claimed by the Algonquins and Nipissings in some detail (from the Township of Hawkesbury to Lake Nipissing). Refers to the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and states that although their lands have been settled by whites, no compensation has ever been given them. States that the Petitioners do not expect to have the already settled lands returned to them, but wish some compensation for the same. Requests that a proclamation be issued commanding intruders and squatters to leave the hunting grounds.
