dres which was received and sent up to his excellency mr dirand ninved that the district of gore gaol and gurt house bill b read a third time ordered and in the course of the day it wtis read a third tinn and carried to the upoer house mr baldwin ntuainted t lie house that the legislative council required n conference on the ieiimon bill w on the motion of mr robinson a commit tee was appointed o attend the uppei iioumj the catholic 0 pel bill was read the second time ousted through a commit tee and ordered be en ironed and read the third time this day it was af terwards read a ttird time and carried by a committee to the upper house mr van kouhaett moved that the house resolve itnei into a committee oi the whole on the petition of mr fergu son he stated tlat this person had a lare family whnij depended upon the humanity of the inhabitants of the town of niagara for sujport he had been prosecuted by the order of the house and been impusoujsix or seven mouths he thought it the cuty of the house to interfere and movd that an humble ad dress be presented to his excellency the lieutenant cover ior to remit the re mainder of the sentence of the court f minns bench mr sweazy hopj the hoiise would interfere for the vnfortunate man who must lie in gaol foi life unless something were done for him it was impossible for him to get out f prison as he could not pay f ho line or would any person far from advocating the conduct of this unhappy person but the sit of his family and the punishme i hnd already suf fered would he ho induce thehouse to support dd m nic i obv that the peti tioner vas prostct upon an address of the iijt and i o 2j j tv jf another atiol libel for which he on to be punished he consider ed no punishment too weighty for a man who had entered into the affairs of pri vate families for the purpose of destroy ing their happiness such men were the worst of all reptiles and ought to be discountenanced in every country he thought an application to the court of kings bench by affidavit would be the proper mode in the present instance in stead of an application to the house the punishment was not more than he deserved allhough it might make jurors be in future more cautious in finding a manguilty mr jones did not think it proper to interfere with the executiveit would be establishing a precedent which they ought not to allow and he should there fore oppose the address mr van koughnett said he was pro secuted in consequence of an address el the house and they ought to interfere in it mr robinson supported the motion which he believed from the humanity of the governor would be attended to he thought it right for the house to in terfere as his excellency might feel a delicacy however well dipostd in re mitting the sentence without their oon- cuneuce he would be the last gentle man iu that house that would advocate the conduct of the prisoner but he trust ed that gentlemen would agree witk him when they heard of the situation of his family that the punishment he had al ready endured was sufficient for the crime he had committed indeed in his opinion the finding a man guilty of a li bel was itself a severe punishment on u division the motion was carried in the course of the day the address went through the uual forms and a commit- u e ca to carry it up tu his excellency his excellency in answer to the ad dress of the house relative to the situa tion of mr ferguson promised to remit the remainder of his punishment mr nichol moved that the report on public accounts be received he was sorry that the shortness of the session prevented the revenue committee from making a more detailed report carried his excellency in reply to the ad dress of the house on the situation of pensioners said he would be happy to meet their wishes but was afraid there were no fuids for the purpose mr nichol said the bill he wasaboot to bring in was intended to quiet the minds of the people a considerable portion of his constituents were metho dists who were not allowed by the law to be married by their own clergymen and the object of the bill was to remove that disability lie mr n was not a methodist himself b it he thought that all descriptions of persons should be al lowed the privilege he was now seeking 0 obtain lor that particular class mr jones and mr durand severally supported i he bill and bore testimony to he exemplary character of the metho- distsintheir part of the country read the first time and ordered to be read the second time and the 5th rule of the house to be dispensed with the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole to take it iuto consideration the bill was adopted reported and received and ordered to be engrossed and read the third time fill day it was read the third time and messrs nichol and du- rand were appointed a committee to car ry it to the upper house mr baldwin in the name of the le gislative council requested a confer- i uce on the bill for inland navigation and a committee was appointed to wait on them mr jones looking at mr nichol said that the bill as it stood was the most injudicious 9 wicked oppressive and wjust irillhe had ever heard of laugh- the committee returned and stated that there was an error in the preamble w liieh required amendment and the speaker was requested to see the speak er of the upper house respecting it the pension bill was read the third time and carried by a committee to the upper house mr robinson brought in a bill to re gulate the inland navigation and the 5th rule of the house having been dis pensed with it was read the first and se cond times passed through a committee was read the third time passed and sent to the honourable the legislative council the bill for the confirmation of mar- riaed was read the second time went through a committee it was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time this day mr fraser objected to a bill giving power to three magistrates upon the oath of one person to deprive the sub ject of his liberty and would not sanc tion it unless it extended to the subject the benefit of a trial by a jury of his country he therefore moved that the bill be recommitted mr nichol congratulated the house upon the change which had taken place in the sentiments of the honourable member he who had advocated the justice of imprisonment by one magis trate now refused to give the same pow- er to three the flash of light thrown on his mind ought to be hailed with ac clamation mr fraser was thankful for the com pliment paid him by the honourable gentleman he did make a distinction between a man disturbing the peace of the country by seditious proceedings and a religious character who was la bouring for the good of souls and not for their destruction and who might through ignorauce of theuw commit an error the bill was read the third time and on the motion of mr duraid a commit r tee was appointed to tak it to the up per house mr van koughnett moved the order of the day on the killing of deer the bill was read the firt and second time went through a committee was engross ed and read the third time passed and sent to the upper house mr fraser on the h use going into committee opposed the bill which could only operate against white people who might be in want of sustenance and not against the indians who could be restrained neither by that nor any 0- ther bill the physic and surgery bill was read the first and second time the house went into committee and upon the mo tion of mr burwell that the committee do now rise and ask leave to sit again this

formation to find hat three years have now elapsed and that but one report oi its proceeding- hf- krfeirrr at fhei terror f irq establishment although bible societies might have been heard of by almostevery class of christians iu the province thete had yet been no practical experience of their great advantages and the people were unacquainted with the many bless ings that must necessarily accrue from a proper managemeut of them it was a new thing in this country and like all other public institutions it was proper aud necessary that an explanation of it object and the effect anticipated should be made as public as circumstances would admit as this is effected your com mittee have reason to believe that the in habitants of this township and of the district generally will always be found ready to join iu a measure that has for its object a more general distribution of the holy scriptures your committee also are aware that without frequent excitements public feeling will soon re lapse into indifference even on this all- important subject and allhough indi vidual interest may be exerted without abatement yet it is necessary for its due and proper support thdt the commu nity at large should be zealous in the cause it is therefore desirable that re ports of the actual proceedings of the so ciety should be made public from time to time 5 and your committee have no hesi tation in believing that what has been already accomplished will be a proof of its usefulness and a happy presage of future results as well as the means of bringing over to its support those whose doubts or indifference may hare deterred them from joining in the measures as heartily as could have been desired the proceedings of your society of the year preceding the last hate been alrea dy reported and it is therefore unneces sary to revert to theni on this occasion this report will consequently be coufi- ned to the period of your last annual meeting since that time the sura of 75
