10 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



together with all the cannon and cannon-ball which are therein, as 

 also with a quantity of powder, if it be there found, in proportion 

 to the cannon-ball, and with the other provision of war usually be- 

 longing to canon. It is however provided that it may be entirely 

 free for the company of Quebec, and all other the subjects of the 

 most Christian King whatsoever, to go by land, or by sea, whither- 

 soever they please out of the lands of the said bay, together with all 

 their goods, merchandises, arms, and effects, of what nature or con- 

 dition soever, except such things as are above reserved in this article. 

 But it is agreed on both sides, to determine within a year, by commis- 

 saries to be forthwith named by each party, the limits which are to 

 be fixed between the said bay of Hudson, and the places appertaining 

 to the French; which limits both the British and French subjects 

 shall be wholly forbid to pass over, or thereby to go to each other by 

 sea or by land. The same commissaries shall also have orders to 

 describe and settle in like manner the boundaries between the other 

 British and French colonies in those parts. 



XI. The above-mentioned Most Christian King shall take care that 

 satisfaction be given, according to the rule of justice and equity, to 

 the English company trading to the bay of Hudson, for all damages 

 and spoil done to their colonies, ships, persons, and goods, by the 

 hostile incursions and depredations of the French, in time of peace, 

 an estimate being made thereof by commissaries to be named at the 

 requisition of each party. The same commissaries shall moreover 

 enquire as well into the complaints of the British subjects concerning 

 ships taken by the French in time of peace, as also concerning the 

 damages sustained last year in the island called Montserat, and 

 others, as into those things of which the French subjects complain, 

 relating to the capitulation in the Island of Nevis, and castle of 

 Gambia, also to French ships, if perchance any such have been taken 

 by British subjects in time of peace. And in like manner into all 

 disputes of this kind which shall be found to have arisen between 

 both nations, and which are not yet ended; and due justice shall be 



done on both sides without delay. 



7 XII. The Most Christian King shall take care to have de- 



livered to the Queen of Great Britain, on the same day that the 

 ratifications of this treaty shall be exchanged, solemn and authentic 

 letter, or instruments by virtue whereof it shall appear that the 

 Island of St. Christophers is to be possessed alone hereafter by Brit- 

 ish subjects, likewise all Nova Scotia or Accadie, with its ancient 

 boundaries, as also the city of Port Royal, now called Annapolis 

 Royal, and all other things in those parts, which depend on the said 

 lands and islands, together with the dominion, propriety, and posses- 

 sion of the said islands, lands, and places, and all rights whatsoever, 

 by treaties, or by any other way obtained, which the Most Christian 

 King, the crown of France, or any the subjects thereof, have hitherto 

 had to the said islands, lands, and places, and the inhabitants of the 

 same, are yielded and made over to the Queen of Great Britain, and 

 to her crown for ever, as the Most Christian King doth at present 

 yield and make over all the particulars abovesaid; and that in such 

 ample manner and form, that the subjects of the Most Christian King 

 shall hereafter be excluded from all kind of fishing in the said seas, 

 bays, and other places, on the coasts of Nova Scotia, that is to say,
