There had been a reaction a-
gainst the proposal to revive the
Black Law. The day after Sir
John Colborne's reply had been
published in Cincinnati the mayor
informed the Board that an at-
tempt was being made to have
the Black Law repealed, As a
result many of the prospective
emigrants decided to stay in
Ohio; but Brown and others were
determined to carry out their
plan.

rendered precarious by the Fugi-
tive Slave Law and repressive
enactments of the various states.
The idea originated with the
large community of free negroes
in Cincinnati, numbering some
3,000 souls, whose livelihood was
threatened by a proposed revival
in 1829 of the "Ohio Black Law",
passed in 1804 but allowed to fall
into abeyance.
This law imposed a fine of
$100 on anyone employing a col-
oured person and required every
coloured man to find security of
$500 that he would not become
a public charge, and also security
for his heirs. Extremists were
also uttering threats that negroes
who remained In the state would
be sold into slavery.

H. A. Jaques
dies suddenly
Henry Allan Jaques, '15, Wil-
liam St, Exeter, died suddenly
at his residence Friday, August
19.
Mr. and Mrs. Jaques had farm-
ed south of Wincheisea on the
Zion Road retiring to Exeter
three years ago. Mrs. Jaques
was the former Tessa Gunning
of Whalen and they were married
in May 1924.
Besides his wife he is sur-
vived by one daughter, Mrs. Mil-
ton (Erlma) Keller of Exeter and
one son, Ray of Usborne Town-
ship; one brother, George Jaques,
Tavistock and one sister, Mrs.
James (Gertie) Knox, Stratford,
also six grandchildren.
Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. S. E. Lewis at
the Hopper-Hockey funeral home,
Exeter, Monday, August 22, with
interment in Exeter cemetery.
Pallbearers were Messrs Or-
ville Knox, Stratford, Alm er

Tookey, Norman Jaques and Ger-
ald Hern.
SOLD 800 ACRES
The first sale of land in Bid-
dulph Township recorded by the
Canada Company is of 800 acres
to J. C. Brown and Stephen Dut-
ton, dated September 20, 1830
and consisting of four lots to the
north and four to the south of the
"Proof Line Road". Even this
reduced purchase presented dif-
ficulties; the Society had to turn
to the Quakers of Oberlin, Ohio,
who sent Frederick Stover as
their agent. Stover's name was
added to the record of the sale
and later he seems to have ob-
tained title to the lands in trust,
getting a quit claim deed from
Brown in 1839 and from Dutton
in 1842.
The Proof Line Road (now part
actly, like other Immigrants and
would enjoy the same rights and
privileges under the law as any
other free men.
Slavery was pot abolished in
the British Empire until 1833
and in 1829 there were still a
very few slaves inUppereanacia,
An Act of the Provincial Legis-
lature in 1793 had prohibitedfur-
ther importation of slaves. Any-
one thereafter born in Upper Can-
ada or coming into the province
was free, Nor could he be depart-
ed except for proven crime be-
fore entering' the country.
It was expected that many fam-
ilies would be coming to the col-
ony and there was talk of thous-
ands of persons. There seems at
first to have been a proposal to
place some of these on the "Wil-
ber f or c e Road" in Simcoe
County, where a group of "men
of colour" had recently been
granted land for militia service
in the war of 1812-15.
It seems likely that the Crown
land in Simcoe would have been
granted free or on very easy
terms; but the Cincinnati Society
preferred to apply to the Canada
Company for the purchase of a
township in the huge "Huron
Tract", bought from the govern-
ment in 1826 for re-sale to set-
tlers. Events in Ohio soon forced
a reduction in the scale of the
SEEK REFUGE
A meeting of the coloured com-
munity was held and it was decid-
ed to seek a refuge in Canada.
A Colonization Society was or-
ganized and a governing board
chosen with J. C. Brown as pre-
sident. The Board was authorized
to approach the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor of Upper Canada. Israel
Lewis and another board mem-
ber set out for York (Toronto)
with a letter from Brown to Sir
John Colborne. Colborne replied
that any negroes coming to the
province would be treated ex-
