Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By-Laws of the Township of London, Middlesex County: With Historical Sketch of Pioneer Days and Important Occurrences of Recent Dates The Early History of London Township may be said to have been coeval with that of the County of Middlesex. As early as the year 1744 records show that a tract of land embracing the counties of Middlesex, Elgin. Oxford, Huron, Perth and Bruce were included in a chart and accompanying report to Louis xv´s Secretary, and deposited in the archives of the Minister of Marine at Paris, France. This report states that for centuries the river (now Thames) was known as the Askumesippi or Autlered River; in the years 1745-1746 it is heard of as La Trenchée. In the latter half of the 18th century it was called La Tranche, and on July 16th, 1792, by proclamation dated at Kingston, issued by Govenor Simcoe, La Trenché was called ´Thames.´ In 1788 Lord Dorchester, Governor General of British North America, and Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty´s forces therein, by Proclamation, divided the new western colony into four districts, namely: Lunenburg extending from the Ottawa to the River Gananoque; Mecklenburg, from the Gananoque to the Trent; Massau, from the Trent to Long Point on Lake Erie; and Hesse, embracing the rest of Canada to the St. Clair. To each of these districts were appointed a judge and sheriff, who administered justice by means of Courts of Common Pleas. The colonists in the new districts demanded the same constitutional privileges as were enjoyed by the maritime provinces. The Habeas Corpus and trial by jur in civil cases were secured by statute law. But they wished also an elective Legislative Council, and larger measures of constitutional liberty.
