===June=== *'''June 11:''' The Secretary of State warned Governor Lucas that if he renewed the running of the line without regard for the feelings of Michigan, he would create a crisis demanding presidential interference. :Ohio's response was unsettling. In a special session of the legislature, the delegates passed a number of laws enforcing the stateโs jurisdiction over the Toledo area. # a law provided three to seven years hard labor for anyone guilty of the "forcible abduction of citizens of Ohio." # a new county, to be named after the Ohio Governor, was to be formed from the disputed territory with Toledo as the temporary seat of justice. # the legislature appropriated three hundred thousand dollars to implement these statutes and empowered Governor Lucas to borrow three hundred thousand more if he found it necessary. # the lawmakers directed the court of common pleas to hold session there the first Monday in September (September 7). :Lucas appointed a three-man delegation to meet with the President: William Allen, Noah H. Swayne and David T. Disney. Jackson acceded that Michigan discontinue proceedings and prosecutions under the Pains and Penalties Act, that Ohio be given complete freedom to run the Harris Line, and that neither side forcibly oppose the official jurisdiction of the other in the disputed area. :Mason could not bear the suggestion that Toledo come under the concurrent jurisdiction of Ohio and Michigan. Michigan was fighting the war on the principle that the Ordinance of 1787 gave Michigan both complete possession of the disputed area and complete authority to govern it. This authority was derived from Congress.
