Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boundary Line Between the States of Maryland Virginia: Before the Board of Arbitrators Under the Act of 1876, Chap.188, this Board of Arbitrators is vested with power so far as Maryland is concerned, (and Virginia hath done the like in her Act of Assembly, ) "to ascertain and determine a true line of boundary between the States." The award to be final and conclusive: Provided, however, that neither the States nor the citizens thereof, shall, by such decision be deprived of any rights and privileges enumerated in the compact between the States, entered into in the year Seventeen Hundred and Eighty-five. To ascertain that true boundary-line, you are possessed of all the functions of the Supreme Court of the United States, and in its determination, will you not be governed by the same general principles of law which that court would deem applicable to such cases? The documentary evidence, furnished by the charters and other state papers; the joint action of the colonies; the legislative proceedings; long continued possession and exercise of jurisdiction; the conventions and compacts; and, where these require secondary testimony, then traditions or that kind of evidence, which is admissible ex necessitate, are the aids upon which reliance is to be made for just and reasonable conclusions.
