Thus the case stood until Sir Robert Schoinburg drew Ms "arbitrary line" of demarkation in 1841. He set up posts to indicate British dominion at Point Bar- ima,Amacuroand other localities. There- upon the Venezuelan government made a vigorous protest and Lord Aberdeen promptly ordered the posts removed. Abeid^en was so far from urging extra- ordinary claims that in 1844 he spon- taneously proposed to Dr. Fortique, Venezuelan plenipotentiary in London, a boundary line known as the "Aber- deen bo...undary line." This Aberdeen proposition of 1844 was the first specific definition of Eng- land's patented rights, the foundation for it in international law being the alle- gation of Dutch settlement and Indian treaties. LOOKING TO ARBITRATION. Nothing further was done until the celebrated status quo of 1850 was estab- lished, whereby Great Britain agreed not to occupy or encroach upon the terri- tory in dispute in consideration of a simi- lar agreement on the part of Venezuela. From 1850 to 1886 the course of diplo- matic affairs was very shifty.
