He was also aware that similar difficulty existed at the Head of Core HeadlBay. and other places, and he thoughtit ‘h‘as devi- eable that the question shoulde set at rest.

The petition was read and referred to a Special Committee, consisting of the Hon. Messrs. Beer. I-Iaythorne. and Muirhcad. to report thereon by bill or otherwise. «

SELK I RK ESTATE.

lion. Mr. MACDONALD laid before the‘ House a copy of the report of the 0mm inittce of the Executive Council appoint- ed to enquire into the purchase. classifi- cation. and results of sale of the Selkirk Estate. Read and laid on the table.

IIon. Mr. Harmonxa: Perhaps it

‘ will be expected. as the report just pre-

sented bears my name. that I would give some explanation of it. It )was the means adopted to arrive nicerlp’iu infor. mation which we required re alive to the working of that Estate. and we cli- cited the facts set forth in the report. We have not attributed any improper motives to our predecessors. nor 1an any blame to their account for pricing the land at so high a rate. We have more- ly said that they mis-apprchendcd the meaning of the Act. but we assumed that they were influenced by a sense of duty to the country. and. with the fact before them. that the Government would sustain considerable loss upon Estates previous- ly purchased ; no doubt they were pro. pared to charge a pretty high price for land upon this Estate, under the human sion that it was necessary. in (MM to make the property selfleustainieg. How- ever. as a bill is to be introduced in the House of Assembly. I do not deem it necessary at resent. to make any fur- ther explanations. but as the report con- tains a pooddcai of information. it- was thought advisable to lay it before the IIousc. *

IIon. Mr. Panama: Having been a member of the Government at the time the Selkirk Estate was purchased. and the prices fixed at which it should he sold to the tenants. I think it neces- sary for me to any that I scarcely think I it can be alleged that the Government; mi’s-apprehonded. or :t'nis-iutcrprctted the Act. or the intention of {the Legislature. in passing the Act. ,for the best of all reasons. which is. that a question never was raised as to its legal interpretation. or of that part of it which alludes to the right of the tenants to pay a higher price for their farms than would make the pro~ perty self-sustaining. The price was de- cided upon under the, impression that- it was no higher than was necessary in or- der to secure the interests of the country. The Government had before them the disastrous results of the sale of the Wor- rell Estate. and we thought it would not be proper to sell the front and meat va- luable farms upon this Estate at a lower rate than that which was fixed upon: therefore. it was not owing to a misap- prcllrusion of the Act that such a high price was set upon the land. Had any remons‘rance been sent in. it islikcly the Act would have undergone a vcry scru- tinizing examination. and probably some altcraucu would have been made. but matters went on till the question was raised by the public newspapers. The report is. no doubt. correct. for all the information it contains has been derived from the Commissioner of Public Lands. who has all the necessary data at his command. It was the fear of this estate proving a loss to the country. such as had been so severely felt and denounced with regard to the Worrsll Estate. that indu- ced us to keep on the safe side; but I am happy to know that the tenants are not to seller for it—lhet abill is tobe passed to reduce the price of the land. and to re- fund so some which may have been paid than t price which would malts the property self-sustaining.

Ken. Hr. “about!” A bill has already been iatreduesd in the House of

“Aascmbly. founded on the petition. which will have the effect of remitting a large amount of money received from that as-

' tale. besides what the purchasers might

yet be célled upon to pay. Its provisions will also extend to other estates which might be In the same position. ' /

Hon. Mr. Banana-ton : I suppose it is no use to quarrel about the interpretation 'of the‘ Act. but if merchants were to act. in reference to their merebandize. on the same principle as that which is laid down respecting the net,vi7..: that ouch es- tate should be sell-sustaining. they would soon become bankrupt. The act should be so amended that estates pur- chased in future should be considered collectively. for the Government might purchase another estate at ahigh figure. and lose by it. I would like to know whether. in making up the accounts of that estate. the widerness lands have been considered. or does the Government in- tend io’taltc the responsibility of those lands. and refund money which has been paid upon improved farms?

lion. Mr. MACDONALD : I am not pre- pared to speak upon the details of the bill. as it has not passed the other branch of the Legislature. but when it comes before us. it will be seen whether any proper method has been taken for the valuation of those wilderness lands.” well as for their management. till they pass out of the hands of the Government under the operation of the act which we expect will he passed to facilitate their sale and settlement.

Ordered. that the report be laid on the table.

Adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock.

ATTORNEY GENERAI.‘S SALARY BILL.

A bill to amend the laws establishing the salaries payable to the Attorney and Solicitor Generals was read a second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House. Hon. Mr. Walker in the chair.

"on. Mr. Dunn: I feel disposed to object to the preamble of that bill. for I think the Act should be so amended. that when it is published in the Rnyvl Gazette. it would be understood. As it is at pre- sent. it would lead people to suppose that the salary of the Attorney General was no more than £200.

“on. the I’nrzsmaxr : I think it would be much better to consolidate the several acts upon this subject than to bring in a bill in this way. The remark of his honor who has just spoken”- is very inst. for the bill as it now stands might lead people to form a wrong conclusion.

"on. Mr. GORDON: I think there is some misunderstanding respecting this bill. for. by the Civil List Bill. passed in l851. £150 w'ercrgoaranteed as the At- torney General’s salary in all time to come. and the sum of £200, which has been granted in addition. is all that we have any control over.

“on. Mr. MacDoxann: I think the observation oi his honor from George- town. (Mr. Gordon). is correct. for this House cannot interfere with the Civil List Bill. And as to the remarks of his honor from the first district of Queen's County. (Mr. Beer). that it might lead- persons to suppose that the salary of the l Attorney General was only £200. it will be seen by referring to the Act of the ltiih Victoria, Chapter 3. that it is £350; the first clause of that Act is as follows :—

“ There shall he allowed and paid to the present. or any future Attorney General and Advocate General of this Island. as and for the salary of that office. the sum of two hundred anode of lawful current money of this sland per annum.the same tulle In lieu of all fees of office. charges. allowanccs. nml emoluments. paid or pay- able by the Government of this Island to the Attorney General and Advocate Gener- al, on account of Crown prosecutions. or for opinions. or for putting marginal notcs to the statutes. «.r for any olhcr miscellaneous services performed by him for the Govern. mm in his official capacity; the said salary to he in addition to the annual salary of one hundred and fifty pounds payableto the Attorney Gcncral under the provisions ofthe not passed in the fourteenth ycar ofthc reign of Her present Majesty, Queen Victoria. intitulcd ' An Act to commute the Crown revenues of Prince Edward Island. and to provide for the civil list thereof, as well as for certain compensations therein mentionet .’ "
