| Order Regarding Disputed Land. |

Stephen Rivette and Claude Broussard have appeared before Governor-in-council; in regard to a piece of land purchased by Broussard from Cécile, Rivette's half-sister. Suit too weighty to decide at once; but Broussard is to retain possession this year, and a committee of four "ancient" inhabitants, two being chosen by each party are to examine and report on their claims.
