Answer,— The channel has been c(>iitractcd in its breadth in consetpience of the erec- tion of the Defendant's w hail. During low waters in the summer, it would have no ma- terial eth'ct, hut during freshets iii siininier and the bigli waters in spring and fall, the con- traction of the river Beaiiport and the crooked course of the channel between tbe two wharves would have a toadoucy, 1 conceive, to disturb the bed of the cbanuel aud make deposits.

Tlic foregoing deposition lieiiig read to th same to contain the truth and bath signed. Sworn and exaiiiiued before iiie, | at Quebec, the llitli .\lav, IH.'it!. | ,1. lil'VAI., " Chief Justice.

The riainlilf is ii ih-aler in I'orii and lias carried ou his trade and business at a certain thiiir mill siluali' in I'.caiiport, known I!- the tieauiKWt mills. It is the same property men- tioned in the I'laiiititl's declaration. The I'laintitf has been in the possession and worked the said mill durim; the la>l 7 years to the best of my ivcollcction, oiu' liordon tlie person troai whom the I'laintitf aci|uircd po-isession ol' the said mill was in possession of the same d ii ring, "i years. The mill in ipieslion isan extensive tlour mill worked and turned by water supplied by the river Keauport. It has been so turned and worked for the last oO years to my knowledge. .Mr. (builoii added steam power to work tiie mill because i.i the t jMiiner season be used ti> timl tlie watiU' deticient. It was occasion- ally used but was found ot' very little use. I am not sure whetber it was worked by steam nor whet her tlie I'laintitf u.-ed it or not. The said river Jieauport is navigable as far U|i as the " wooden store " figured on ttie plan at spring tides only tor schooners and sloops. In spring sides als.i I have seen bateaux conie up as tiir as the garden of the riaintilf situated immediately belo\\- and adjoining tlit! building described in the plan afon'said as the stoiie-slore. In high tides, they might eome up as far as the inidille of the garden tijiposite the letter '/. or thcri'iibouts ; but in extreme high tides and high winds together, tliey might go up farther, bow higli, I cannot say. Tb.e saiit bateaux had been engaged in conveying grain to tlie said iiiill and in the iiuni'vanee of goods for Mr. Ducliesnay. I ilo not think it was of any advantage to tlie proprietor of the niiil in cpiestion that bateaux slimild go up so liir unless it was to save him a littleeartage. Indeed wheat seliloin or never was in those days brought in bati-aux. but it is more frecpient at prese-it. The wooden store is situated at about 1;')0 feet from the stone-store what is figured on the plan as "stone store " was formerly^ stable. It was m cd as such iu 1M(<, or thereabouts, when 1 Was in jiossession of tiie distillery adjoining the mill. 1 do not know wlietlier it has ever been used as such since. 1 eaiiiiot state what was the general breatti of the river lieauport in its natural bed ]u-evioiis to the inonlli of October lust.

(Jue-^tion. — Assumini; that Mr. Uacey's plan is correct in every respect, on a comparison l)ctween your plan anil the naid Uacey's plan, can you state whether or not the said wharf built on the I'lainlill's side of the river, is an cncroaehmcnl or not ujion till! said river lieauport. as laid down uiion the said plan of .Mr, Uacey's. Objected to, and it is ordered liy his ilonnr Mr. .Justice Badj^lcy, that the whole of the eviilcnee be taken subject to tiie objections of the l>efendant. Answer. — Yes, I can. 1 luiv e 1 pared the distances to be found on tlie said two plans, and I find tliat a very small poition of the riaintilf's said wharf is an encroacliment on the river, I allude to the small corner immediately behiud the wooden store, I also find that there is an eiKToachment aliout half way between the wooden and the stone stiu'c, it is an encroachment i.faboiil four t'ect, 1 liave marked the >pot (Ui my Jilan, by drawini,' a line from the point K, from the stone stable id' the old di-tillery to the point X on the said Plaintiffs wliart'. This 1 tiiid in com|iarimj the two plans and assumin'.; that they are both ctu'reet. When I sav that it is an <'neroachmeiit, 1 mean that it is an encroachment of 'iboiit four feel, on the river, at hiyli water, as represented on .Mr. Uacev's plan by a . Iii '. line, which I have every reason to believi', represents hijili water mark. 1 mean the line that touches the corner of the wooden stori', 1 have examined the spot of c^round iminedialely bidiind the sloiie^tore, I I'.i ind a stone wall forminj.j a part of the stone store, I examined the same spot nil Saturday last, and I found that the water, as it amieared to inc, had worked in towards the store and that siune loose stones had been placed tliero as a prolecticui, as it seemed, to me since I node the survey with Mr. 15ii,'nell as 1 think, for I am not exactly po>itive, it appeared to me that the stones had been lixed up there, for the purpose ol' protectin;; tlie stiu't! from the water, apart fron. the said stones there is a piece ot i;roiind as shewn tipon our plan, between the (diannel ot the river, and the base of the store upon which 1 beleive there are little brushes, I do not recolect any thin;,' else giowinii- upon il. The wharf creeled by the Defendant in 1S.',2, is not exactly parallel witli any wharf built lUi the I'laintilV, the lower porlimi of it however is lu'etty paralhd as shewn upon the said plan with the riaintitf's wharf i liave measured the arch at llie bridne as shewn on our jilan and 1 linil it to be about fourteen feet Kmilish measure, aceordinjr to Mr. Fletcher's scale upon tlie l»efendant's K.xhibit, filed at Kinplete No. 1:^, on which of the said plan, the breadth of ihe r'r.lii arch as maikcd, twelve feet seven, on reference to the scale to be lound (Uithesaid plan, I find that the said arch is there represented as biin;r lirteen leet I'liiLili-'h measure, ei|Ual lo about t'oiirleen feel Freiu'h.

Upon examination of the two plans that of .Mi\ Kleteher and my own. I liiid that they arc very noarly the same, at the end nf the Defendani'^ wharf, they are \ri\ mneli alike.

(Juestion. — To what extent is il an eneroachment. Olijeeted to hy the Defendant and ohjeelion reserved ? Answi'r. — To an extent of ahoiit one Inindred and twenty six I'eet diirim,' s|>rini; tides taken from hii;h water mark of the spiinir lide of ihe ^ixtrenili of May, eii^hleen liiindred and fifty I'onr. As shewn upon our ]ilaii. At the Morlh corner of the stone store there existed at the tinifi of our said survey a small wiHideii Imildintr, heinj; a jirivy, a portion of whii-li exeei.'ds the imrlli east lino of "the said stone store as deserihed on onrsaid plan.

I do mit roiuomher havinj; examined the river at the hase of the I'laintilf's wharf and r cannot say whetherany stones are there or nnt. (inestion. — Was it or not iieeessary for the Defendant to hnild the said wharf oreeted in eii^hteen hnndred and lifly two on tin spot where it now is for the protection of his, the De- fendant's property f'roiu the intlnenceof the water of the il\i r. Olijeeted to hy the Defendant, ami ohjection reserved hy his lion. Mr. Justice Hadirlev. Answer. — 1 do not think it [iroteets the Defendant's [iroperty at all as the water ij;ocs on hotli sides of it. (iueslion. — Was it necessary or not ? Answer. — I do not see ,'iny use that it is in prolei liiiir the Defendant's preperly. Nor iln I perceive that the Defendar s properly was or is threatened, 1 do imi think that it is now. Cross-examined. Expressly reservini^ the olijeetioiis to Ihe whole testimony. I do maintain that the jilan made hy Mr. itii.'iiell and nn' is a full nnd eomiilete descrip- tion of the premises as far as nlates tu the mailer in ipicsiion in this cause aceo n 1 i i ii; to the iiistrnctions which we received from ihe I'lainlitf. [ have no reason to tfive fiir omiltiiii; to write upon the said plan helween the words " stone store " and " wooden store, ' lln^ wordn " I'lainlill's " or •■ .Mr. I'.rown's wharf " hut I now think that those words ouudit to have a]i|ieai'ei| in the plan. On the day before yesterday when I was there I remaiked a little tree jjrowiiii^ on the Defendant's wharf liliout Ihe un,i;le near the letter (' in llie uord •• erecti'd," Tluit is a trei: wiiieli has most uudouhtedly ;;ro\vii since the erection cf the whaif, il iiuirht have been there ■iiMlilMHliiiiiii wm wlicM wommlcoiir o|ioriiti()ii in oii;litci'M liiiinlivd :ni on the inside, there the lieiirht of land is two feet seven inelies. l!y my measurement at llio extremity of the wharf tho land appears to bo one foot live iinOios.

That mill drawn mi my plan also .•orresponds I'xaelly with the mill drawn cm .Mr. Kaeey's plan as to the size. I ncitieecl ||,;it it was a very old hiiildini:. ami 1 have no doubt at all'that it is Iho same mill that is drawn upon my plan that is drawn upon Mr. Ixaooy's. I liavojnst noticc^id on my plan that the land touoliinj; the mill is eovered with Ireos, ao- eordinj; to Mr. Kaeey's plan there were no trees upon it at that time nor wore tlioro anv trees iipcm that spot at the! time ofdrawiiie- ,\Ir.

It follows from the comparisou of those plans that Iho ground ooiitii;uous to tlio mill has risen. Trees ihi not ,i,'row upon a spot of -round wliioli is alway.s coverod with water. Coiiipariniriiiy plan willi Mr. Ma.-arlhy's F lind that liosides tho raisill^' of tho siirfaoo, that pioooof i,'roui,cl has imavascMl by iwoiily four feet that is to sav that tho irroiind extemls twenty four feel farther to tho eastward than it clid at tho timo iif tlio preiiariic"- of Mr .Maoarlhy's plan. ° Ajraiii oompariiiff my jdan with Mr. Mac'arthv's jdaii, the western bank of the river IWupcU't below the mill apjiears to have j^aiiiod thirty nine foot towards tho east siiioo tho year Hovoiitccii liiiiidrod and ninelylwo.

JOHN' FHUOL'riSOX, of JJcaiiport, in tlu' District of (Jiiolieo, Millor, a^L'd 2ti ypurs. I liavc not boon aoqunintod with the I'laintitrs mill for four yi'ars. By the lidrs tlie nii'l whcol now stops four lumrs, lour hours and a-half, and liv" honis up io live jjoiirs and a qnartor. My ohsorvations on tin; stoppai;i' of tho wheel oxtondback to Iho tiino that I lirst on- torcd the mill. The mill whool also stops by Iho fro'hota of the rivor Itcanport. Iliavo not already been t'xamined as a witness in tho present eanse. Atone time on the eii^hteenth of March, of this year, thi' wheel was in'mi'r>e(| in water it w.is not ( lear nnlil the Monday follnwinj-, helwi'ii rlr\<'ii and I u > K . .1 .i.i.k, rv riv lieshol that oonies down the l!<'anport rl\'er sinp-i ihemlll. il throu-shaik waieron ihe wJu'ei. Airain last Wodnesilay, on the thirty first of Mareli, the null was stopped liir niiio hours owinv;- to tho freshet. Tho Defendant i)hjeets to this teslinumy. Reserved. A. W; (". It; K. S. I dont remetnhor tho (biys of the month, hut ilnrinj; every freshet for these four voars past itlins been the same ami it m\ist have been the same ever ^iiie<' the wharf was liiiilt I moan tlio whart ol' 1S.V2 which is built across the river, imniediately the water touches tho rim of the wheel, [ stop Ihe mill always niyself in ease of any danufcr. I do soon my own authority of c(uirse as 1 am erjiploved by I'lainlilf to lake care ofthe pn mises and if f was to drive' tiaouiih back water it would injure ihe nuii'hiuery. Wo alwavs look out for tho moment at which tho water touches the w heel, in lad half an hour I. el. uc because we look out for it every few minutes. [ have been in tho habit of koopinir lhi> time iluriiiLi- which Ihe wheel stops, I alwavs used a watch to ascertain the lime at which the wheel >ioppcd and went 011 ai;ain, I alwav.s marked the time ilown in a book which I have hero at pnsi'ut, I idways tocdc most particu- lar account of the stoppai;es ilurini; every tide. After a freshet passt^s the flood 4;atos, ami descends tho back river insti'aj of takini; its proper straij^ht course. The current is turned and crosses over the tail race and thereby keeps the back water upon the wheel. It is the wharf that is built across tho river that turns the current. There was an accident oecurreil to tho mill. At thai time wo were vorv bnsv, wo worked the mill for a short time while the lido walcr was on it, shi' bad mit been worki'n^' nn)ro than ten minutes, when owini; Io the stiain which was niion the m- 'tor wheel wo broke livi; or aix of the ooijson the pinion wheel of tho uprigiit sluift, tho wh 1 , so broken wa.s an iron wlioel. Diirini: tho winter we keep a hIovo on the side or tho wheel to ))reverit any a-cu- mulution of ico on tho whool. Tho water of llio mill race is obstructed by ovory frosbet which causes an ace umtilalion of snnd and j;ravol whieli (ills up the channel lovid with ;lu; bank and another idistruction is by the liill of ice which from the bridge to tho lower part ol' Iho wharf. 'I'he freshet from the ISoauport river jiassoH over tho icu atid causes it to sink which f(U'rned n jam. tii fact tin; rivor was like a canal u llh locks. Iho water was much hiirher at tho omi ofthe tail race than it was below where thiMv wa- >•■> wlcrf. Tlioro would be no obstruetioi, at all to the workiuL,' of tho mill, if the river lieanport did not cross imu- the tail race. I<"or instance if a portion of that whail was cut away, ami ihe Hood walcr from t!io lleuuport river was madi' to pass throui,'h that openin>r, and not to interfere with tho current of wutor I'rutii tin- Water vvlioci no ob.slMiciion to llie workin.i; ofthe mill would occur at the time, 1 ontorod tho mill, tho wutor who ■! uppearoil to mo to bo about Iburloen or liftoon voars old. Th( I'laintitI never (Mice talke." II the I'oiii-se of till! river was not stopped ill that way liv lliat wharf, no hiinii woiilii hudono, not in the least. I inoiiii to sav that the water would, hut for that wharl, How down 111 its iiatiirel rhannel, and not iiiVerfere at all with the tail race. I am ipiKe positive of that, I am (piiti^ certain of it. it is a lint for which I pledi^e mvself. 1 did not see the wluiifhiiilt ol'eoiii>e. I never saw the river Howin^jin tliat ehaiiiier. Of course I njiildiiot see It wiieii It was .shut otf hy the wliiuf. Meiiii,' re(|iiested to deserihe the .-aid natural <'haiinel, I have marked upon Weir's plan, in the presi'iioe of the K.xperts, the hue ol that iiatiirel channel, of the . xisleiice of which I speak of, as a fact eommencini: at the point )•', as maiked liy me, and eiidiiii; at the letter A, which [ have also marked, ol course It would o.xtcnd from the said point (', down to the corner of the low wharf, where It would lid! into the other channel of the river. . ' |'«n)e'i'hor well the condition of the tail-race, when I entered the service of the I'laintift, it isproeisely in tlio same po.sition now as it was at that time, it has never heeii eliaiijied 111 any way. I liave heeii in the liahit of woikiiifr in the river, on my own ac'oiuit. Xo stones were ever put at the hottoni of the point wlii.'h lies near to the 'north- east jjahle oftlio mill, hut I have worked in the tail-race, to clean out the sand and erav.'l which was caused hy the fie,hets and which prevented the mill from workiiii;. ISecaiisc the mill coiild^ not work until that was removed. The eiuhteeiith of March was on a 1 hiirsday or Friday as I hear Mr. Siavcly say that it was 'on a Kriihiv, I refer to my liook and tind It so, [ mean to say that there "was n fresliot on the eiir'liteenth ofMareli, whii-h sloppeil the mill, and it was so stopped until one (piarter before twelve, on the .Monday followins,', the I'lst of .March last. Of course what [mean, is lint the mill did not u'niid in the inti'rval, I speak of the moiilli of .\Iareli last, on the seventeenth dav ot winch month, I saw .Mr. t^tavely, (uie of tlie Kxpcrt.s, on the spot. The riaintilf was there that afteriiooii, hut it was not iiurposelv tliat ho was tliero. On the nineteenth I saw all the Kxperts (here. The lh>od irates were ill. the whole of the dav ot cour-e they could not lie dosed for ten mi'Miles as the river could not contain the whoh' of the water that came down it. I did not run out toopi'u the Hood ijates iminediutclv ath'r the Kx|Mrts bad arrived. I am positive I did not raise the irates that dav, hut thev had bceni-ais.'d all ihiy. The Hood iruti.n are to the north of the mill. After the arri'val of the Kxperts they asscmliled i.strt in liis >ialiMiu'iit iiml liii» siirnuil.
