had no right to complain of iher losses and wk to he compensa ted for them could he dr dunlop say to these villagers it is all very true that if we had not destroyed your houses these fellows would have quietly shot us from be hind them but as io payment it is a thing which we really cannot affordl if he did the answer would be had you done his in time of peace yourself and waller carr would

township for there were townships in england or the parish or the hundred or the wapentake hie supposed that was a wont the hnn member was not acquaint ed with was snswerable in individuals for damages which ihey might suvtain by any popular commotion or hot they were obliged to pay for it and if this was just and proper in ihe case of a parish how much more would it apply to a whole province he had given the law as iv had learnt it many years ago but it mtght perhaps be changed now he snppnued the heart the liver and the lungs occupied the same places in the human body as they

interfered with hy il and he therefore thought lhat all were oral icatt all loyal men should he repaid ihe loc suuainrj hy them during the re- mlion there was one nljrct lo which he hnum ivish to refer but admiticd that he ma rather out of r nler in doing to he meant ihe hill whirh the ad mi nitration had promised tn the hou at ihe begin ninpofthe sajon for th payment of the rehfllirin claims in upper canada it had not yet been intrmlnceil hut he believed lhit it was in course nf preparation and did not know hut it would b laid on the tahle tliis evening it wis tint kind nf measure thai would hvet the affections of the pcnple of the part of the country tit which he belong more strnnfjy if posaible than ihey were at present but if the go vernment did nol fulfil the just expectation of the peoplnand satisfy their just claim he fnr one would not answer fur the con sequences mil johsstoy found thu was a par ticular eae fir the bencgl of a particular county if that were the object he would oppose it they murt legislate generally and fir the good of the whole country there must be no bringing in nf partial meshure he trusted and hoped that the motion would he withdrawn and that a compensation for lnae wm1d not te grant ed to one county to procure an unanimous reelection the county lhat sent him mr johnston here demanded evcnlinnd ed justice tu all there was nol a rebel killed or wounded and there was not nj widow or an orphan hy the rebellion in that country hear hear but tiey witlied hat the widows and orphans of those brave men who defended the county at lhat time should be indemnified for their losses mr mnfpatr agreed with the views of mr juhnston he thought that every loyal man who lost his property in 1837 and 1838 should be indemnified for that loss but he could not concur in this mo lion this house is not the fitting place lo investigate these claims which are josl andahould be paid he knew that a very large number of them were paid in lower canada and why should not tbe loyalists of upper canada be paid also f hear hear and he ae a friend of the adminwtraiion advicd them lo lake it up ipecdily and give those people iheirjuat due the plan he proposed wo for tho government to make an investigation of vio buffered the injuries and hy whom were ihey commit ted and then come down lo the house and make a claim on it tor liquidation would he be told that the inyahsls who rl iheir property in 1837 had no da ma on the government ho was opposed to ihe reference of this petition on trie ground he had already slated and repeated that as a friend to the administration he would urge on them nrncpecdy means of satis fying thec claim mr aviwix hoped that mr lemmne would withdraw his motion no no ye yesj it eiorts a very farge numher of question of great difficulty and ifheun dcntooi the lion attorney general the government was not prepared to meet ihe rcbelliun claims for the best of all reason they had no funds tho attorxc general rose to ex plain 1 o avoid dikutsion he had given no opinion whether the province was bnund to pay these claims or not but the advice he had given to his excellency ivat that there were no funds in his hands to meet those claims mr avlwin then the reason given by the attorney general was quite uffu cient to satisfy his mind and the house is not to enquire into it whether there wera means or nor mft morfatt there are means m r atlwin the hon gentleman said there were means then the statement of the hon attorney general mut be incor rect and it became his duty to expoeo their miiconducl mn moffatt explained that although there were no funds jet there were means existing mt aylwim could understand the dis tinction perfectly but they both meant the same thing when used by ministera if there were no funds then ihey must be rais ed for as there were means then the ministers must raise funds to satisfy these claims which mr moffutt says are of pa ramount importance in recommending mr lcmoine lo withdraw his motion he il so from ihe statement of the attorney genera that there are no means no no he did not wish to make a case against the attorney general orj case should nol be taken lotesl the intentions of ihe ministry for that purpose it ia neces sary to take the whole of the claims on them and it is then there is a right to turn on ministers and charge them with having failed to dn their duty although be voted with the government on this occasion bo did not wish to relieve them from the res ponsibility his excellency came down at the beginning of the session and in a speech composed by the ministry no doubt congratulated ihe country on thefiourishing laie ofthe revenue if then lhat was tho case thra must be same surplus to pay these claims winch must be sat sfied they must establish in stating there are no funds they muat establish that there are claims of prjifftztr amemfmet thon th awm lit first saiisficd so far he believed that he agreed fully in the npiuion expressed by messrs mutujti doilop and prince but he regretted that he was obliged to differ with them otherwise in england if people suffered injury by having their houses destroyed by a mob they were re- compcosed for their irw certainly but it was done by the hundred county or parish where the injury was done he could well understand lhal the people on the frontier who suffered severer during tho rebellion shnuld he paid by a lax striong memelves 0i oh j bit m it rgm that those living in the interior if iho should he taxed was it right to tax the peope of those diairicu when not a single voice was raised nor a singe blow struck against the government movements occurred in those districts con ferdly erroneous so much sn lhat the very ringleader as he was termed after iilteriiig
