Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the New Jersey Commissioners Concerning the Northern Boundary Line Between the States of New York and New Jersey
The business intrusted to their care was taken into consideration, and the principles which should guide in conducting it were discussed. It was considered wise to examine the subject farther, and to hold another meeting. Before coming to a conclusion. The meeting then adjourned.
On the 8th Of July, another meeting was held at the State House, in Trenton, at which all the Commissioners were present. It was considered that the line which was run and marked by the Joint Commissioners of New York and New Jersey, in 1774, and had ever since been accepted as the boundary, must still be recognized as the true line of partition between the two States. And that the proper course for this Commission was to unite with that from New York, in fixing the monuments which remain upon the original line, and in restoring those which are lost. The meeting was then adjourned, to meet with the New York Commissioners at such time as may be agreed upon.
