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had been published in Cincinnati the mayor informed the Board that an at- tempt was being made to have the Black Law repealed, As a result many of the prospective emigrants decided to stay in Ohio; but Brown and others were determined to carry out their plan. Many years of mortgage loaning experience can help you choose the best mortgage plan. Of Highway 4) was an extension of an older road of the same name running through the centre of London Township, It was opened by the Canada Company as part of their "London Road" which met the Huron Road at the site of Clinton and formed a direct route from London to the com- pany's new town of Ooderich. To be concluded next week VICTORIA and GREY TRUST Exeter 235-0530 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. and Mrs. Cecil Robb will act as program chairman. Among those expected to take part are: W.

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.

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- Korea missionary returns to resort of welcoming the Irwins back home and hearing Rev, Irwin tell of the work in Korea.
