Exclusive Use and Enjoyment
The companion to Acquired Territory: two pathways through the same courtroom, the band’s by section 35 with a duty to consult ending in compensation, and the Mohawk class’s by sections 109 and 52 with a duty to obey, failing which may be criminal, ending in the land locked to the class; the lock itself, St Catherine’s Milling, Seybold the trigger, no surrender ever, and the unborn posterity who hold it too; the promise of 1779, who made it and to whom, not a collective, not a body politic, not a trust; the Declaration’s article 26 and its neighbours; and territory in depth, the air, the waters, the land and below. The web edition sets every stop on the band’s lane beside its answer on the Mohawk lane, right under the lanes, occupation or enjoyment, a collective or a blood right, consult or observe, justify or infringement, settle or bad faith, money or the land; reads each Mohawk stop from the Pledge of 1779 to the zero surrenders; follows the s. 35 road step by step to show how it would destroy the interest; follows the s. 109 and s. 52 road the same way, the Province encumbered, no surrender and a latent defect, section 52 holding it, the Tract never dedicated, and why the Province needs a band and s. 88 to come in; tries the key of surrender in the padlock, which holds, and steps one house’s title through a defect in title, in British Columbia under Cowichan and on the Grand.
