OLD TOWN OF DETROIT
(Found among Major May's papers, with a French translation. )
Note. These documents bear no date; but I am enabled to fix the year by reference to the law under which the act was to take effect. This document reacts a law of the Northwest Territory, which was passed on first of July, 1798: which act was repealed on 19th of December, 1799. Consequently this act of the inhabitants of Detroit must have been adopted either in 1798 or 1799. Vide Chase's Law of Ohio, 204, 387.
