N0.-11. ^ - ' ^ '■ Adolphe Larue.— I have been a Land Surveyor residing at Quebec lor the last twentv one years. I know the place called Cap Blanc very well and have linown It since mv bovhood, an.l 1 rocollett assisting my fatle-r who was ennflTfcl in laying out a" n)ad there. It was under the direction ol Mr. John Saxton CamplJell and inv fither that I assi..tsd in laying out this road. 3lr. Campbell and mv father, and I tliink si.inr «>thers, were connnissionners appointedV Government under an Act of the Legislature, by which rnomes were voteieees of timber crossed. With the exception of Lap«")rtes house the other buildings in this locality were cabannes or buil|dings of the poorest (>xceptioiv. t ■ , I know that I had instructions from Government in my professional ca- pacity of a Laud Surveyor to make a survey of the property at Cap Blanc to determine by boundair'cs high water mark according to M. Sax!s plan which instructions I complied with. The paper' writing being Plaintills exhibit No. ."» is acopy of the plan which wjis made by me under the direction of the Go- vernment. The blue line marked on the said plan running partially through Champlain street is the" lihd that was marked down as high watermark by Mr. Sax. I do not think there is much land betWech this line and the foot of the ' clifl. It is a fiict that in some places the. houses touch the fi)0t of the clifF. This . plan contains a survey of two lots separtitc and distinct from each other, one lot from high to low water mark and the other, from low watermark into deep ■ water.* *****, , - , of th# I8th of le nnd e same ucutiv*" iiiMhe / it.
