comply with that section of the Land Parchase Bill, which | requires the investigation of titles previously to any purehas by Government. Now, Mr. Chairman, I ask this Con wittee, and I ask that hon. member himself, what fou: is there for sach a declaration? If the titles to that estate have not been investigated, what is the meaning of the paper before the House, containing the opinion of the Hon. Aitorney |

When the Worrel Estate was offered to the Government, the | question of Escheat did not enter jnto their consideration, | nor was it requisite in. investigating the titles, that the’ validity of the original grants sheuld be tested. That ques-| tion the Government considered settled. It was but neces | sary to ascertain the legality of the different titles down from | the original grants to the parties then owning or claiming the property. That was well known and understood hy the people at the time, but now the hon. member, in his endeavor |

a

to damage the Government he was pledged to suppoit, de- | clares that the validity of original grants should have been | tested by the Government, prior to the purchase. I main-! gain, sir, that, in the negotiatios and purchase of that es- state, the Government have manifested all the prudence and | caution which any honest and careful man would apply to his own private business. It is not necessary for the Govern- ment to do more than to shew the reasons why it considered the | investigation of the validity of the originai grants unneces- | sary. The Government, in negotiating for the purchase of|

the Worrel Estate, were justified in considering that the |,

question of Escheat had been settled by the previous action |

of the Legislature of the Colony. In proof of that, I will),

refer to the preamble of the Act which was passed jn 1837,| imposing the first land tax. Oxe part of that pream¥!e is! as follows -— :

« Whereas by a Despatch from the Right Honorabte Lord | Glenelg, His Majesty’s Principal Seeretary of State for the Colonies, bearing date the tenth day uf August, one thousand | eight hundred and thirty-six, His most gracious Majesty was}

leased to disallow the establishment of a Court of Hscheat jn this Island, and to suggest the imposition of a tax on all granted lands in this Colony, as a remedy for the serious evils nrising from the non-settlement of Jarge tracts of Jand, held by the grantees from the Crown; and it being just and reasonable that the said lands should contribute towards the general revenue of the Colony, the burthen of which has hitherto been chiefly borne by the resident colonists only ; and as such a tax would have the desired effect of compelling the grantees cither to settle or dispose of their lands without delay.” '

‘Now, sir, that preamble shews the opinion of the people of the Colony, as expressed by their representatives, that the question of Escheat was considered, at that time, as settled, and that the principle of taxing the lands of proprietors should be adopted in Tien of the agitation for a Court of Hs- cheat, which is the motion we are now discussing. Dut, in the document which the hon. member has read, for I will not call it a speech, he has stated that we had nothing to produce in opposition to the establishment of such Court but despatches of Colonial Ministers, which he further argued were not of sufficient authority to relieve the proprietors trom the obligations imposed upon them by the conditions con- tained in the original grants,—but, before I have done, I think I shall be able to shew that the British Government have expressed a positive determination not to allow the establishment of a Court of Escheat in this Colony. The Act of 1837, the preamble of which I have read, was passed in accordance with the spirit of a despatch from the then Colonial Minister, and was, thus, a declaration on the part of the Legislature that the question of Uscheat was no longer a subject of agitation, and that the country acquiesced in the views entertained by the British Government om the subject. But, Mr. Chairman, the hon. member and those who support him on this question, should be consistent, and to test the sincerity of their attachment to the principle of Hscheat, I will call their attention to the record of the proceedings at a mecting of the Commissioners of trade and plantations, with reference to the town and pasture lots of the Towns and Royalties in this Island, which took place on the Sth July, 1767, we there find the following resolution :—

“ Resoleed, That it be recommended that the above! mentioned Town and Pasture Lots be granted in Vee Sim- ple, under the Seal of the Province of Nova Scotia, to such person or persons as will give proper security to build within a reasonable time upon the Town Lot; and to enclose and fence and properly clear for Pasture, the Lots set apart for) that purpose; but no one person to have a Grant of more” than one Town and Pasture Lot.” Now, Sir, if we are to go back and take action upon the ori- | ginal grounds of forfeiture, namely, that the conditions in| the grants were not complied with, we ought to forfvit nearly |

. gi - In the first of the two paragraphs I have read, we find the} futation of the hon. member's insinuation, that reports, ere sent to the Luiperial Government, adverse to the wishes |

re

of the pec ple, end despatches were sent out in .accordance

: ro ; : oe with those underhand communications, There is no equivo-|

eation in the language of the passe ges { have just read—they

are the plain declarations of Her Majesty's representative— that Escheat will not he eonceded. The hon. member him- self has been sent to Evgland on two separate occasions, to urge the adoption of his views upon the British Government, and he well knows with what success. ‘The expenses of his first mission were provided by a general subscription of the ople, His report is in print, and although I cannet lay my hands upon. it at present, { will read a portion sf *the answer he received from Sir George Grey, then under Secre- tary of State for the Coloniea, by order of Lord Glenelg, the principal Secretary :— “ Dawning Street, 25th August, 1858.

« ° ‘ . % ’ % « Sin;—I am directed by Lord Glenelg to acknowledge

your letter of the 10th instant, offering some observations in regard to the terms proposed by certain proprietors of Jand |

in Prince Edward Is!and to their tenants.

Until Lord Glenelg shall be informed of the manner in which those terms have been received by the tenants, he must decline yanvassing the question with any third party. But in order to’ prevent imisconstrection, his Lordship takes this opportunity*of apprising you, that it is not the intention o° Her Majesiy’s Government to establish a general Court of Hscheat in Privce Kdward Island, or to take proceedings fur enfore- ing the forfeiture of the lands on which the original con- ditions of the Grants have not been complied with. After very fully considering the subject. Her Majesty’s Government decided, and announced their decision, that sych a course would be inconsistent with justice, with sound policy, and woald tend only to unsettle the minds of the Inhabitants of Prince Edward Island, and to shake the rights of property in that Colony.”

In this document we find it expressly stated, “ that it is not the intention of Her Majesty’s Government to establish a general court of Fscheat fur Prince Edward Island,” and the avowed declaration of that Government in opposition to the measure advocated by the hon. mumber. But he says that this is but the expression of the individual opinion of the Seeretary of State for the colonies, and that it is, therefore, not to be regarded as the decision of the Imperial Govern- ment. Sir, Lask what words can be used more expressive of the decision of the Government of Great Britain? Does

lit not emphatiga'ly declare that the Government will not

sanction the establishment of a eourt of Escheat? And is uot that declaration conveyed through the only proper chan- nel by which the Government ean officially communicate its decision,—-namely, the Colonial Office? It is very easy for the hon. member to rise in this House, and say that we have nothing more than despatches embodying the views of indivi- duals against Escheat; but, Sir, T can show to the satisfac- tion of any one, that, from the date of the letter from which [ have just read to the preset time, we have explicit and decided declarations of th? Imperial Government, that they will not countenance the institution of court of scheat. The hou. member has sfated that, in 1816, the Home Go- vernment granted an indulgence by which the proprietors re-

ecived an extension of tine for the settlement of their lands ; |

he has not, however, told us, whether he bases his argument on the original default or on the violation of the terms of the ingulgence. Now, Sir, if the Government had the right in 1816 to grant a further time for the compliance with the conditions which fermed part of the original grants, they also had the power to do away with those conditious altoge:- ther. If the hon. member bases his argument on the non- fulfilment of the cenditions within the extended period speci- fied in the indulgence of 1816, he cannot, with any preteace to reason or consistency, deny the authority of the Crown to abrogate the conditions altogether. I might as well say, that if Tsell a piece of land, aud take a mortgage for the price,
