FAIR-PLAY MEN
(bouvier)		FAIR-PLAY MEN. About the year 1769, there was a tract of country in
Pennsylvania, situate between Lycoming creek and Pine creek, in which the
proprietaries prohibited the making of surveys, as it was doubtful whether
it had or had not been ceded by the Indians. Although settlements were
forbidden, yet adventurers settled themselves there; being without the pale
of ordinary authorities, the inhabitants annually elected a tribunal, in
rotation, of three of their number, whom they denominated fair-play men, who
had authority to decide all disputes as to boundaries. Their decisions were
final, and enforced by the whole community en masse. Their decisions are
said to have been just and equitable. 2 Smith's Laws of Pennsylvania 195;
Serg. Land Laws, 77."
