THE WESTERN DISTRICT. -----
BOUNDARIES.
Prior to liOO the country lying weat of the meriflian of Long Point, and inclutlln' the State of Macbigan,
one of the four divinona Into which Lord divided Upper Canada in Iii>~. and waa at fint
or.med the Diatrict of Heaee, and aube~uently-in liO'lthe Weatero District, with Detroit u the Diatrict town. Bu~ iu tho year fint named the American portion of thia territory
wall under the "Jay Treaty," aurnmdered to the United Statea; and i~ li!lll, when ne,.· territorial diviaiona were made, the \Yeatem
Diatrict waa limite<l to the preaent boundariea of the countiea of F.e· eex and Kent, the latter including Lambton, with the .Judicial aeat. at Xandwich.
The County of Madflleeex, which Included J.:lgin, ~came part of the new or l..ondon District, with he.dquarten at \'ittoria, in Norfolk County, untill826-i, when a rediatribution of Dittricta was made and the Di•·
trict aeat removed to London.
The ~1uoicipal Act of IS4!l abolished l)jatricU., and gave judicial autono· not only to oounties, but municipal power to the townahipe comprialng
them. 1~ Elgin was attached to Middleeex, and Lor.mbton, ,.·hich ur to a late period ht.d been a part of Kent, and then for a few yean for politica purpoaea attached to the lat ter, and for other purposes to F.nex, when both became fully organized counties in themselves.

THE COURTS. The {.luarter Se~~aiona, Uistrict l.'<lurt, and the poor man's .;Ourt thtt Court of

The court bP.c-.me worse than ever _ ,. mere vehicle by which Ctlrtain politcal partiaa.n cliques, compoeed of magistrates, tr~<dcrs and storolccepers,leg"lly plundt'red the settlers &'ld their poorer customers.

BLENHEIM. Blenheim, an importa.nt town of 2000 inhabitant., la nry pleu·
aotly eituated on the R11.1ge Road at I lA U1l11rae<:tion by the Chatham and IWnd Eau and Commuoicatio~< R....W, In the To'lfuhip of Har· " ·ich, 110me 6 milu from Rood Eau harbor and 12 rnilee frnm Chat· ham It il the praent 110uthern termlnue of the J::rie .t Huron Railway, and beadquartera of the Leamington, Rood Ean ud Morpetb t~agee. The toll'n 'II'Ulaid out by Colonel L1ttle In 1846, the enrvey then confined to original Lot 10, W. U. R. The •ub· division Iota •ere fint eold at I~ each. To the oonetruotion of the RondEau Harbor Workl, the location of the Oonmment town of Shre'lfebury and tbe oonetrnotion of Chatham and Rood .Ea~J-0 ravel rO&d, it undoubtedly owee ite foundation. It wu incorporated a village in 187t; a town ln 1884.
Blenheim hu little of an early biltory. Until 1840 ite eite formed put of the twelve·mile bueh; and perhapa with the exception of "Baldwin'•," a ebanty located t1ro m1lea weet near the manh, and "Hugheon'a," at Veeter'e corner, there were no honMI up to 1830'or later. F. Storey, who traveJled the road in 1829 eaye : "Blenheim wae in the middle of the twelve-m1le·woode which were thick with wolvee, and the oowe and oalvee which I wae tlriving h.\lt to be puehed through before night fall - not a houee there. In 1837 when I again lraveraf!d the road with prieonen taken •n Tilbury and Romney, after the akirm1eh of Baby'e Orchard, at Wimleor,(eix of whom were after· ward ahot at London) there wero a few hute along the road." The history of Dlenheim ia the hittory of Rood Eau Harbor and tihrewabury. ln 179.3, when Surveyor IrdeJl ran the ~lilitery Road atraight from Chatham to Point Aux Pint, hie inetruotione were to reaerve at the latter place, a town eite to be called the "Land guard." Whether Shre'lfabury wae choaen in compliance with Governor 8imcoe'a doeirea, it mattera little ; it ie only intere4ling to note that a town platted with Government authority, and backed by an outlay of $200,000 for harbor improvement and the creation of a Port of Entr\', 11 now a myth of 1he paat, whilet Blenheim, una~tiated, ia a largo fiouruhing to••· Man indeed propoaea, but l!od diapoeea I Of Shrewabury, Surveyor Burwell wrote ln 1846, "My belief i~, th&t weet of Hamilton, there ie no poaition 10 well aniterl and in every way adaptod to the growing up and aust&ining a h\rge town."
Excepting ThoL Ricke, Wm. ~lcGregor, and &Jdwin, aettlen on the adjoining farma, George Hugheon, at V eeter a Corner, ""'the firet aettler proper; Donald Cameron a blackemith, waa thll aecond, locating hie shop immediately in rear of ITugheon. Wal· ter an<l R'obert }J<lll were the pioueer merchante, their primitive atore a:andiDg about the eite of llienett'a atore, .Mr P.-pps, the tailor, following immediate)¥ after, and iD 1846 i Henry Pickering-he erecting first, the McGregor Hotel, and aub4aequently the atore-the second we•t of the S. W. corner, diagoneiJy opposite. Oron Gee erected tb~ brick tavern in IIHR 9 and aubaequently a etore near Samaon'a hardware eatabliahment. Meure. Hovey an ll:)helden arrived in 1851 and E. L. Stoddard in ISM

It ahipe largely of Hour, bcaua and other farm producte, live atock, dea•l hOj!l, applea, fruit, at&vee and bent a tufT. It oooupiee a beautiful t'1evated aituation, 100 feet above Lake Erie which ie here in view. The town ie oompact, wtoll built, the chi<'f etreet princip&lly with good brick buildinga. It contains 2 roller ftour mille-one of large capacity, foundry, 2 carriageahopa, cattle food factory, barrel factory, fruit tovaporator, .to.
