BY GEORGE KENNEDY, M.A., LL.D LAW CLERK TO THE DEPABTMENT OF CItOWN LANDS FOR ONTARIO. TORONTO : PRINTED BY WARWICK & SONS, 68 & 70 FRONT .STREET WEST. 1891. f * % I ^JfciJ ■♦'>.•'• 1 i Tho following Digest was not made with any view to publication, but on the com- pletion of the manuscript it appeared to the Commissioner of Crown Lands that if printed it might be of some service to i)er8ons having dealings with the Department, and perhaps to the legal profession generally. It is therefore submitted, not as noting absolutely every case in which a point relating in Horae way to the Crown Lands Department has been decided, but as a tolerably fair, and, it is hoped, correct summary of the resultant of all the cases decided in our Courts bearing upon the administration of the Crown Lands. A few matters noted in the course of reading have been introduced^ though not directly connected with the general subject of the Digest.
