Section 46. Peacemakers' courts

The peacemakers for each of the three
  reservations,  the  Allegany,  the   Cattaraugus   and   the   Tonawanda
  reservations,  shall  respectively  constitute  the  peacemakers' courts
  thereof, and the eldest peacemaker of each of such courts shall  be  the
  presiding officer thereof. Any two of the peacemakers of any reservation
  shall  be  competent to perform any of the duties or exercise any of the
  powers assigned to the peacemakers of such reservation. The peacemakers'
  court of  each  such  reservation  shall  have  authority  to  hear  and
  determine  all  matters,  disputes and controversies between any Indians
  residing upon such reservation, whether arising upon  contracts  or  for
  wrongs,  and  particularly for any encroachments or trespass on any land
  cultivated or occupied by any one of them, and  which  shall  have  been
  entered  and  described  in the clerk's books of records; but they shall
  not take cognizance of  any  claim  founded  upon  any  debt  or  demand
  originally contracted with a non-Indian. And said peacemakers shall have
  power  to  make all needful rules and by-laws for notifying and bringing
  the parties to such matters, disputes and  controversies  as  may  arise
  under the provisions of this section before them, and for the regulation
  of  all  proceedings  thereon,  and  for  the  hearing and determination
  thereof, and for the enforcing obedience to such rules and by-laws. They
  shall publicly hear the proofs and allegations of the  parties  to  such
  matter,  dispute  or  controversy,  and  shall publicly declare and make
  known their determination therein within four days  after  such  matter,
  dispute  or  controversy  shall  be  finally  submitted  to  them by the
  parties. They shall have power to enforce obedience to  such  rules  and
  by-laws,  and  shall  have  power to issue and enforce the observance of
  orders or notices for the appearance and attendance of witnesses  before
  them  to  testify  and  give  evidence  in  any  such matter, dispute or
  controversy so pending before them, and may compel the appearance before
  them of such witness by attachment or by fine, for not appearing, in the
  same manner as is now provided by law for compelling the  attendance  of
  witnesses  in  courts  of  justices of the peace in this state. They may
  administer oaths to witnesses  produced  by  the  parties  on  any  such
  hearing,  and  cause  them  to  be examined on oath, and may examine any
  party to any such matter, dispute or controversy so pending before them,
  on oath as a witness, when such examination  shall  be  required  by  an
  adverse  party.  A  peacemakers'  court  of  the Allegany or Cattaraugus
  reservation shall also  have  jurisdiction  to  grant  divorces  between
  Indians  residing  on  such  reservation  and  to hear and determine all
  questions  and  actions  between  individual  Indians  residing  thereon
  involving the title to real estate on such reservation. If either of the
  parties  to a controversy of which a peacemakers' court has jurisdiction
  resides on the Allegany reservation and  either  of  the  other  parties
  resides on the Cattaraugus reservation, the peacemakers' court of either
  reservation has jurisdiction thereof.
