Board of Commissioners for Carrying into Effect the Seventh Article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation Concluded between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America.
Jay's Treaty was negotiated by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay and signed on 19 Nov. 1794. It stipulated that Britain would leave western posts by 1 June 1796; that lands on either side of the border, as well as that of the Mississippi River would be open to both countries; and that American shipping would not be hindered in trade with British possessions. A commission was established to settle debts to Britain and outstanding boundary problems.
The donor Christopher Gore served as member on the commission and wrote numerous opinions contained in these volumes.
