SECTION 87
Indian trespasses on common land
Indian (IND) CHAPTER 26, ARTICLE 6
§ 87. Indian trespasses on common land. If any Indian of the
Tonawanda nation shall occupy any of the common lands of his nation
without having obtained from the council an allotment thereof, as
required by law, the council shall cause a notice to be served upon such
Indian, signed by the presiding officer and clerk thereof, describing
the lands so occupied, and requiring such Indian to remove therefrom, or
within ten days after the personal service upon him of such notice, to
show cause at a time and place therein mentioned, before the council,
why he should not be removed therefrom. If such Indian shall not remove
from such lands as required by the notice, or shall not show sufficient
cause to the council why he should not be removed therefrom, the
council, upon due proof of the personal service of such notice on the
person to whom it was directed, and that the lands occupied by such
person are common lands of the nation not held by such person in
pursuance of law, shall issue an order to the marshal, commanding him to
forthwith remove such person, which order shall be signed by the
presiding officer, and clerk of the council.
