This was interrupted by the French and Indian War, and at the close the Council was restrained by the British Government. Afterwards, the officers and soldiers entitled to lands under proclamation of 1763 began to make settlements and the agents and settlers under the Company petitioned the Council that they might hold of the Company, and soldiers might be restrained from interfering with them, and in 1773 the Council allowed the settlers to make surveys and return them to the office.
