We understand that some difficulty
has }atelg occurred at Grindstone Island,
in the St. Lawrence, an island hereto
fore .rnder British possession, but decla-
red, in the Report ofthe Commissioners
Under the Treaty of Client, to be on the
United States side of the line. That
decision has been published by order of
the American government and is there
considered final and conclusive, by vir-
tue of the Treaty of Client, without any
ratification or further act of the COVER
ment5.-But some gentlemen in this
Province have contended that it is not
binding here until ratified and pro- claim
ed by our government They have ac-
cordingIy continued to occupy Grind
stone Island, and cut and raft timber
there: The owner of that Island under
title derived from the state of New
York, had some civil process to be SER
we'd on the Island as within the county
of Jefferson. In serving it, the Deputy
Sheriff was resisted and beaten: Upon
which the posse comitatus of that eoun-
ty, consisting of a detachment of their
Militia, was called out to assist the Sher-
i'll: They proceeded to the Island with
their civil process, and warrants against
some of those who resisted and beat the
Sheriff, by virtue of which they took
several OF the party and carried them
Aisoners to Watertown gaol, charged
with,riot, assault and battery, and for
cibie resistance of the legal process.
These are the circumstances as we
have heard the case stated, butnot from
official authority.
