Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Boundary Line Between Maine and New Brunswick In obedience to, and in pursuance of said resolves, and in consequence of the claim made by the Province of New Brunswick to a Degreeslarge portion of the State of Maine, and granting permits to sundry persons to cut. Timber, and have, and still are exercising jurisdictional powers over the terri tory and inhabitants residing north of Marshill, it was thought expedient to make enquiries relative to the facts, and that some possessory acts on the partof the two States should be resorted to without delay. The agents aforesaid took mea sures in the first place to ascertain whether any timber had been cut, encroaching upon the territory of Maine, and if so, by whom, and under what authority. We ascertained from the lumberers themselves, that a large amount of timber had been taken over our line, by permits issued from the Sur veyor General's Office of the Province of New Brunswick.
