ABSTRACT
THE events which followed the conclusion of Godeheu's treaty showed how impossible it was for French and English at that moment to live side by side without disputes. By the treaty it was arranged that each should remain in possession of the districts which it actually held. Even that gave birth to difficulties. Both parties claimed certain districts. When commissaries were appointed to determine these differences, they too fell to wrangling. Two months after their nomination, they were recalled, to let their tempers cool; four months later they were set to work again, but to no better purpose. Quarrels and protests nearly led to blows. Each party accused the other of encroachments; and the discussions had no result except to exasperate both sides. 1
