 nor was there any sufficient authority, in any- manner derived or com- 
 municated for the said Sir John Cglbomq to constitute, eroct and

 been members or adherontn of the Chtmh of England in the Raid 
 Province, yet that that portion of the inhabitants not conipoflod of such . 
 mombere or adherents or of persons otherwise connected tvith the said 
 Church, but distributee! amongst and connected with other Chrifitian, 
 denominations, have always forme«l a large majority of the inhabitants 
 of the said Province, and of every Township and other loadity of or in 
 :. the same. ' ■ • . ■■ ■ 
 
 That for this reason, and other reasons, a strong feeling lias always 
 existed in the said Province against the establishment or endowment 
 therein of Rectories, and against any exclusive privileges being given to 
 tho Church of England in the said Province, and generally against the 
 operations and provisions of the Statute hereinbefore mentioned in 
 regard to the lamls thereby diiftcted to be appropriated as aforesaid 
 That the feeling aforesaid was frequently and particularly in and after 
 the year 1 825, and up to the time of the issuing of the said patents, as 
 well as ever since manifested and expressed by the said inhabitant**, 
 and by their Representatives in tlie House of Assembly. 
 
 That in consequence of this state of things. Lord Ripon being one 
 of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, on the 2 Ist November 
 1831, addressed to Uie Lieutenant Gover9or above named, by His 
 Majesty's command and authority, two DcspatchcH which referred to 
 And accompanied two other documents, by which despatches and ac- 
 companying papers, it was doclaretl in 6ftect to be His Majesty's desire 
 that an end should "be put tot Any'further appropriation of lands under 
 the said Statute; that the Lands already appropriatotl and reser^etl 
 should be abandoned, as a provision- for the purpose in the said Statute 
 mentioned, and should be re-vested in the Crown free from any trust 
 therefor; and it was further thereby intimated, that no intention then 
 existed to erect or endow Parsonages, and His Majesty invited the 
 L^lature of the said Province to consider how the powers given J> 
 such Legishiture by the said Statute to vary or repeal that part of il^. . 
 provisions which relates to the subject of the said Land, could be callcjl 
 into existence most advantageously for the spiritual and temporal ii-^ 
 teiestB of His Majesty's feithfiil subjects in the said Province. r 
 
 That agreeably to this invitation, which waa duly communicated to 
 the said Legislature by His Excellency, the Legislature took infc con- 
 sideration the natters to which their attention was so invited, and the 
 game was \h& subject of much consideration and discu^ion thereupon 
 until after the said patents wei» issued, but that (until after sucli period 
 no measure waa a^wd tq» chiefly in consequence of a difference of 
 
 ' opinion

 that divers Despatches to His KxcelleiifV, written by His Majt-nty's - .

 That no intimation was giveh l»y His Exeolleney or Ilis e«rancil to tlio 
 ■aid LegisLiturei of tl\o intention to ere^t or endow any Re<Uir}-, nor 
 was such intention known to the said Leginlature until some time aftiT 
 the Patentfl had boen.actuiJly itwuod. That tho same were ihsUed by 
 His Excellency in Couneil under mistake and misapprehension of a 
 Despatch transmitted to His Excellency by Lord Ripon. on the 6th 
 day of April, 1832, in whicU Despsttch His Lordship htuX ol«er\ed as 
 follows: — "I quite concur with you in thinking thait the greatest

 . That His Lordship' did not intend by these/expreEsions <^ by th^ 
 said Despatch to sanction ot give iustructiotui, for, w fact, he did not 
 the^by sanction or give instnictions for, and/ho was not autliorized by 
 His Majesty or His Majesty's Government /to sanction or give instruct . 
 tions for the erection or endowment pf Rectories, but the Executive 
 Council aforesud, mistaking the meaning of the said expressions in tho 
 (udd Despatch^ made an Order in Council on the same day as tho said 
 Patents were issued in the terms following, that is tto say: — ^" May it

 Land should be aS8ig589d in eA;h Township or Parish for ensiiring tho 
 future comfort, jf not the complete maintenance, of the Rectors, the 
 Council caused the necessary steps to be taken for the purpose oif set- 
 tin<v a|mrt lo& iu each Township throughout the Provmce. Much 
 delay has been caused by their atfxiety to avoid ititerfering with per-

 His'^liordship most appropri^ly cdls this salutary work, was also 
 cau8e<iby the Crown Officers not concurring in the form to be used in

 I have been honored with your Excellency's commnntlit, requiring - 
 
 my opinion « on tho legal eourse to be taken for erecting mich Protes- 
 tant Parishes as are niontioned in a n-port of a Cohimitteo of tho 
 whole Cpuncil up«m Eoclesiastical Aftairs^ dated tlio 7th Juno last, «« Quebec. Juiwem. 
 well as for establishing a Psuwnago or Ecclesiastical Benoficein each 
 Parish respectively." -^ '— .,. i 
 
 The Conmiittee in their Report havp stated to youf Exeelieney 
 "that frorn.the papers accompanying the order of refererico they con- 
 ceive tliatJi^r Excellency tlpes not expect them to enter into the do^ 
 tail of a general sy»teiii,l)vit to suggest tlte most advisable means of 
 forming such establishment as, from the aggregate of tlio Pnrtestant 
 population in different parts of the Province and the pre^^nt supply of 
 Ministers of tlie Churth to superintend them, iuay be foun4 practicable." 
 
 And to attain this desimble objw-t, they humbly apprehend that tho 
 two preliminary requisites are first, " the fl)rmiiig of sucbj a numlu'r of 
 Protestant Parishes as from the number of Protestant inhabitautH 
 dwelling in the vicinity, shall bethought exjwdient; and,: secondly, of 
 a Parsonage or Ecclesiastical Benefice in each of sqeh Parishes.^ 
 
 The general question, therefore, which arises out of ih(i report is 
 
 • this; what is the legal coun*e to Iw^tsikeu for Ifio Ecclesiastical Division 
 
 of the Protestant See of Quebec into/parishes, and for the erection of 
 
 Bectories therein according to the estnblishment of tho Chunh of 
 
 Englapd." ' i 
 
 The points wliich tlie question involves are imjiortant, and altliough V 
 I have ultimately satisfied my ownniind upcin thpm, yet I submit my 
 opinion to your Excellency's cpnsiderati^m with g*eat diffidence. 
 
 By the 31st Geo. IIL Chap. 31, it is enacted, '" That it shall and 
 may be kwful for his Majesty, His Heirs and Successiiix, to authorize 
 the Governor or person adiriinrstering the Governnient, with the advii-© ^ 
 of the Executive Council, to constitute and erect within every lowii- 
 ship or Parish which now is or-may bo hereafter formed, constitut</d 
 or erected, one or more Parednage or Rectorj- or Pareonages or Recto- 
 ries, according to the establishment of the Church of Enghind." /

 courso to be taken for the previous ordction of ParihUea ndinita of iiioro rMiWwtimihe 
 
 * en!i;iliigor Pro- 
 
 discu^ion. 
 
 On the Ibrosboll of tliin inquiry wo moot with what, I Dolie\'o, may 
 bo termed a novelty ih Jurispruilcnco; for wo arc under tho ncctwity of 
 admitting that there are by Law two \los8ription» of Parishes in Cana- 
 da, to wi^ Parishes with respect to the Church of Englajid, and l*ar- 
 ishosVitii respect to the Church of Rome; for if wo diavo rOcptirHo to 
 tho Law of England as it reganls the Church of Enghmij (which is 
 the Established Clmroh of Canailn,) wo find tluit Parishes are ecclesi- 
 astical and necessary divisions of every Bishopric; and thort'foro tho 
 Report has stated "tho formation of Protestant Parishes" to a bo pro- 
 iminary requisite to tho erection of Rectories. On tho other hand, 
 althouflrh tho Church of England bo tho EstablisliAl Church of Caria- 
 da, yet by the Fifth Section of tho Act 14th Geo. III. Clvap. 83, it is 
 declared, "That His Mjijesty's Roman Catholic subjects may hold and 
 enjoy the free t^xerciso of tho Religion of tho Church of Rome; and 
 that tho Clergy of the Church of Rome may hold, receive and enjoy 
 their accustomed Dues and Rights," by which means tho division of 
 the Prdvirtco into Parishes with respect to the Church of Rome has 
 become equally necessary, for without this division, "tho Dues and 
 Rights of the Clergy" can never be legally ascertained, either with 
 r<»pect to the Persons from whom, or tho Priests by whom, they arb. 
 ^claimed.: :■■:•:'■:■'■■''' ' 
 
 Tho Report (admitting two descriptions of Parishes) has stated tho 
 necessity of "co-extensive and identical Boundaries;" and as much civil 
 matter may bo hereafter ciigrafted upou Parishes, although . ecclcsiiisti- 
 cal divisions of the Province, this nec«^ity is very apparent; but to 
 ensure' identical Boundaries, it is equally necessary that Parishes rcla-r 
 tive to both Churches should bo erected by authority cdmmoii to both.; 
 
 Your. Excellency's reference has required my opinion 'upon the legal 
 course to be taken for the erection of Protestant Parishes only, and to 
 ithese therefore I confine myself ; and, in my apprehension, these may 
 bain Canada legiilly erected by the sole authority of His Majesty. 
 
 According to the Law of England, which is the law of tho Estab- 
 lished Church of England, a Parish is definetl to be " that Cireuit of 
 / Ctound which is committed to the charge of one Parson or Vicar or 
 otl^0r Mmister having Cure of Souls therein," and is declanKl to bo 
 notsa civil but iah'eccledastical division. ■ ' - 
 
 By JiCtteik^tent (under the Great Seal of Great Britain, dated the 
 
 , 13th diay of Ai^ufitJn the Year 1787,) His Majesty was pleased to 
 
 erect the; JProvince of Nova -Scotia into, a Bishop's See, and to grant 
 
 -unto the ^ishop of ,-Nova Scotia full power to exercise Jurisdiction,

 The Kingdom of En^and, in reference to civil matters, was origi- 
 nally dunded into ViJls and Parishes, which were, as above stilted, di- : 
 visions only in reference to ecclesiastical affairs. The common Ljiw 
 even took nO notice of them, insomuch that a fine was not mlmitte<l of ^-'' 
 ; Lands in a Parish. But in process of time, parishes \vere noticed by 
 several Acts of Parlianient in reference to civil matters, particularly tho 
 niaintonanco and settlement of the Poor.

 The division 6f the dioce8<» of England in parishes cannot bo as- ^ 
 
 cribed to any one Act^ nor indeed to any one single aj?o^ llio most 
 ordinary method however, of augmenting the nund)er of Parish Churclies 
 depended on tho piety of tho Thanes or Great Lonls, who, having largo 
 ' fees and territories in thia country, founded churches for the service of 
 tlieir families and tenants within their dominions. It was this gave a 1% 
 
 primary title to the patronage of laymen, and made tlie bounds of a pa- 
 rish commensurate with the extent of a manor. ■ • ,,

 Majesty, as supremo Lord, had tho right of fouiiilin|; n CImnh in any 
 cxtra-parooiiial place and of erecting it, or any part of it, into a Parish. 
 I ii'for Uiis from an ancient record of tho caw of the Prior of Garlialo 
 and Bishop of Carlislci, dtwided in tlio cighUentU year of tho IWgn of 
 Edward tho First, in which it was determined tluit the Titlies of Lands 
 within a forest which is out of any Parish belong to the King, f >r the 
 following reason assigncil, which hos rofcrenco to His Majesty :— " Quia 
 ia /oreala prtud(eta villas edijlcare ecdeitiaa eonttruere terras asaar- ■ 
 tare et ecclesias illa$ cum deeimis Urrarum itlarum pro volunUtte sua 
 xmeumqm voluerit confeirre potest eo qmdf areata ilia noniat iti/ra 
 Umitea alict'jua parochlae." 
 
 To found a church (wliich of itself implies the right of Tithes; Mar^ . 
 riago. Baptism, and Sopllturo within cerUun fixed limits,) and to asr 
 sign to that Church a certain Territory charged with the payment of 
 Tithes for its support, was tho effectual erection of a parish; and if Ilia 
 Majesty rit any time previous to tho Conquest possessed the right of 
 erecting a Parish in an extra-parochial place, I humbly conceive ho 
 must yet possess it with resiiect to this Province (whatever the Ljiw 
 of England may be;) for I kn<iw of nq Law extended to Canada by 
 t\hich tlie exercise of this prerotativo has been limited. , , 
 
 It may, however, bo supposed, since all Forests wore parts of the . 
 King's Domain, that the King had the right of erecting a Forest or 
 part of a Forest into a Parisli, bocauso he there possessed the right 
 - of foundin<r a Parish in common with the Thanes, each of whom held 
 the same power in his own manor* Biit even in this view of the de^ 
 eision, and rejecting the only reason assigned for it in the record, viz: 
 ««quod foresta ilia non est infra limitos nlicujus paro:;hise," the case yet 
 clearly warronts this construction, "that His Majesty held in common 
 ,with his superior vassals the right of founding Churches oh his own 
 '^domidn^ and that, where«n he possessed the right of founding a Churcli, 
 there he might lawfully create a Pariah."' And since by the jthirty- 
 eighth section of tho Act Slst, Geo. 8, chap. 31, His Majesty, with tho 
 advice of his Executive Council, may found a Church according to tho 
 f«tablishment of the Church of England, in any part of Canada, it 
 follows, even upon this principle, that in any part of Canada with tho 
 same advico he may»creato a Protestant Parish. A Parson or Rector, 
 accordingto the establishment of the Church of England, is « oho that 
 hath full possession of the rights of a Parish Church;" and a Parsontigo 
 or Rectory "consists of the Glebe, tithes and oblations which are estab- 
 lishedfor thosupport of a Parson or Rector," or, in other words, for the 
 support of an Incumbent of a Parochial Church. There cannot there- 
 fot^ b<? a Rectory or ParSoiiagp, nor a Paraoh or Rector of a Chnrch»

 By tho thirty'-olghth ncction of tho Act ai^t, Goo. 3, ihap, 31, HIh 
 MnjcBty is ciniM)Wi!rcd "to constitiito ami t'rwt williiii ovoiy 'I'ownMiip

 Btitutcd, or croitotl within the Province, ono or nioro ParHOiiAgc or lloc- 
 tory or Parsonages or llectorioa, acconling to tho e^abUshnicut of tho 
 Church of England.? 
 
 His Majesty, therefore, by this'soction, is posSesHod of thO power of 
 converting any Towhsliip in Canada into a Parsonage or Ilettory, ancl, 
 by tho thirty-ninth section of the sanio Act, of creating n Pan*on or 
 Rector to hold it; and since every Townsliii) in extra-parochial, he iiin-*t 
 necessarily ak>,foft]io reasons above aasignetl, ptissess th<! identical light 
 of erecting any Township in Canada info a Pi otesUrnt Parish. 
 
 With respect also to tho Roman Catliolic Parishes which existed at 
 the time of passing the above Act of 31, Goo. 3, which indeed Were tho 
 only Parishes then in oxistonce, the reasoning a]>plie», all of lliem, in 
 
 %feferenco to tho Church of England and to the Protestant St-e of Que- 
 bec, being equally extra-parochial. For, as Parisla-^ in Knghmd aio 
 Ecclesiastical Divisions of Dioceses according to tho Establishment of 
 the Church of England, so Protestjmt Parishes in Canada must bo tho 
 Ecclesiastical Divisions of tho Protestant See of Quebec according ti> 
 tho same establishmetit; and this tho Roman Catholic Parishes whicli 
 existed at the time of passing tho above Act of 31, Geo. 3, cannot be, 
 because tliey were created and existed long before the erection of tho 
 Protestant See of Quebec, and consequently without any referonco to it, 
 and because they were erected by the "^ Authority of the Pope, whoso 
 
 , power the Church of England can in no way recognize. And such 
 being the case, the reaort of the Council h:vs stated to Your Excellency 
 that in all instances v^ierever a Protcsfcint Rectory is to be establishel 
 it will be necessary previously to create a Protestant Parish, even in 
 the JRoman Catholic Parishes of Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, and 
 William Henryj with co-extensive or rather identical boundaries, al- 
 though tlioso Parish* have existe<l as such since the year 1722.

 beir leave to approach your Majesty, and to Bubmit to your Majcsty^s 
 m^t jrracioMs consideration our oatnest aupplicaUona on behalf of the 
 clergy and men.be.* of tho Established Church of Scotland m tha 
 portion of your dominions. /; ^ , 
 
 \ When the Kingdoms of England an* Scotland were, (happily for 
 both) united under the British Crown, the subjects of each were placed 
 on a footing of reciprocity; they wore td enjoy a full communication 
 of every right, privilege, and advantage; and their respective Churcbea 
 
 vere ^tabiished as « trpe Protestant Churches" within their particular 
 limits- the Clergy of both might therefore reasonably expect equally 
 to participate in the benefits which might result from the union. 
 
 Viewing the conquest of these Provinces from the domwji of France 
 bv the united exertions of Great Britain and Ireland as one great ^ 
 advantage resulting from the union, we humbly conceive that the 
 . Churches of England and Scotland had, after bucL conquest, cqu«d 
 Tichts as to the exercise and enjoyment bftheii' respective religious 
 privileges therein, and an equal claim to enjoy any advantages or sup- 
 port which might be derived from the newly acquired terrifory. 
 
 By an Act passed in the 31st year of the reign of our late revered 
 Sovereign, whose memory will long live in our hearts, an appropriation 
 ig authorized to be made of one-seventh of the Lands of the Provmco 
 for the support and maintenance of a Protestant Clergy in this Province ; 
 and under the general l^rds, « a Protestant Clergy," used in tliat Act, 
 tour Majesty's subjects in Ujis Province, who belong and are particu- 
 larly attached to the Church of Scotland, fondly hoped that a provision 
 ha.i been made for the Clergy of that Churck as well as for those of 
 the Church of England; and though the allotment of knds thus 
 authorized has hitherto been in a great measure unproductive, they felt 
 a degree of confidence that it would eventually a6Ford a fair support to 
 the Clergy of bbth Churches; the Lands reserved under the said Act 
 being claimed and enjoyed exclusively for the support and maintenance 
 " of the Clergy of the Church of ^England in tjiia Province. , 
 
 We humbly entreat Your Majesty's consideration of the subject, and 
 
 if in the legal construction of the said Act, it is considered. that no 
 
 provision for the Clergy of the Church of Scotland was contemplated 
 
 thereby, we would most respectfully and fnmestly express to your 
 
 Msgesty, our hope that your Majesty will bo gtraciously pleased to extend 
 
 • io them your royal protection and consideration, by directing such 
 
 provision to be made for their maintenauU and support as to you 
 
 Majesty may appear prope^ .■ . ' 
 
 That your Majesty may long reign in th^ confidence and affection of 
 an your aubjects, to guard and secure their right* in every portion of

 By the Act oy701^e Governor is directed to tniilce froin and out

 appropriation of lands for the support and maintenance ©f? Protestant 
 Oiergy within the same as may have a due proportion to th^ artiount of 
 BuchlamUwithm the ssme, as have at any time been granted by or. under • . ^ 
 
 any authority of Hia Majesty. An<J it is further provided, that sugh . 
 Und. 80 allotted and appropriated shall be, as pearly V the cireurpstani .• 
 
 ' ces and the nature of the case will admit, of the lil^e qiudity as the land, 
 in respectof^hich the same are so allotted and appropriated ; and 
 shdl be as nearly as the same may be estimated at the time of makiqg 
 uch Grant, equal in value tg the saventh'part df the lands so granted, "j, • »

 The directions thus given havei been strictly earned into' effect, and 
 <he result is, that the separate pprtions of land which "have beien tha, ^ * ' . 
 leserved, are jscattered over the whole of the districts already granted. 
 
 It was no doubt expected by the framers of this Act that, as the 
 othier six parts of the land granted were improved and cultivated, the 
 nserved part would produce a rent, and that out of the profits thus j. 
 realized, an ample fund might be established for the maintenance^ of a 
 PnJtestant Clergy. These anticipations, how'ever, have not as yet been 
 and do not appear likely to be e6aa realized^ Judging, indeed,' by all 
 the information the Oommittee could obtain oh this subject, they ente^ 
 t^n no doubt that theae reBMr vedUmda, aa they are at preeent distri butad ^

 A Corporatioiv bas been formed within the Province, coDpi.ting of

 The great diffe^enoe bett«-een the inominal and n|^ receipt is to be

 Your Committ<M> however, arc hnppy tof.nd that the principle of thj' 
 , progreBsivo sulo of if^ laml. ht« already been sat.ctioncd J>y an Ac* 
 of the British Pariian,ent. They «.r^not avoid reconimendmg m the 
 ^.tnmc*8t manner the propriety of Bccuring for the future any provi..ott . 
 vhici. may bo dc^emo-l n<^esHary for tVio religious want* of the commu. 
 nity in those pK.vinoo« by other means than by a rewnation of on*, 
 ievcnthof the land, according to tb« enactment of the Aetof 17»1. 
 They would also observe that equal .>%-ctions exist to the reservation 
 of that seventh: which in prnctioo appcaw to be reserved for thobeneflt 
 of the Crown; and doubtless the time mu8t arrive when those reserved 
 l«„:is will have acquired a conHidtrable value from the ptcumslonce of 
 their being surroundwl by settled districts, but th,,t value w. 11 have been 
 . acquired at the expense of the real interest. of this Provmce, and >nU 
 ♦ operate to retard that course of general improvement, which is the troo 
 .ource of national wealth. Your Committee are of opinion, therefore, 
 fhut it may "bo well for the Government to coijsidor whether these 
 lands cannot be permanently alienated, subject to somelixed moderate 
 reserved payment (either in -money or in grain as may be demanded), 
 to arise after:the first ten or fifteen years of occupation. They are not 
 prepared to do more than ofter this suggestion, wliich appears to them 
 to be worthy of more careful investigation than it is in their power to 
 rive it; but in this or in some such mode, they are fuUy pemuadetl the 
 ' Unds thus reserved ought without delay to be permanently disposed of. 
 ' To a property at once so largo and so unproductive, it appears that 
 there are numerous clainiants. ^y 4; f|| 
 
 The Act of 1 vol directs -that the profits arising from this source 
 ahaU be applied to a Protestant Clergy ; doubts have arisen whether the 
 Act requires the Government to apply them to the use of the 0hurch 
 of England only, or to allow the Church of Scotland to participate iti 
 them. The Law Officers of the Crown have given an opinion m favour 
 of the rights of 4>e Chui«h of Seotiand to such participation, in whish 
 
 "vow Committee entirely concur; but the questioirhas also beeu taiaea

 " HortoB. nt that time Under Secretary of State for the Colomea, for the ^J^^^^ 
 "for.r,;tion of Lord Ooderich, then at the head of the Colonml D^ 
 partment, as they are inaccurate in some important respects, and aro 
 calculated to lead your Majesty's Govemmeut into serious errors. . ^ 
 
 We bog leave to inform your Majesty that^ Your M^esty^s sub- 
 jecls in tht Province, only a sip^H portion arc members of the Church 
 of England; that therd is notany peculiar tendency to that Churc^ 
 . among the people; and that nothing could cause more alarm fend gnef 
 in their *ninds than 'the apprehension that there was a de^'f o° «'« 
 nart of Your Majesty's Government to establish, as a part of the State, 
 one or more Churches or Denominations of Christian, m this Provmcej 
 with righU and endowmente not granted to Your Majesty s subjccte .n 
 ^ ffcneral of other Denominations, who ar3 equally conscientious and d^- 
 wrving. and equally loyal and attached to Your Majesty's Royal Person 
 and 4vemment. In following honestly the dictates of their conscience 
 as r^rds the great and important subject of Religion, the latter have 
 never been conscious that they have violated any law or any obliga-. 
 tion of a good subject, or done anything to forfeit your Maj^ty's feror 
 and protection, or to exclude themselves fromaparticipation in the 
 «ghts and priyi!^ enjoyed by Your M^ijesty's other subject?. ■ 
 
 - We humbly beg leave to assure Your Majesty that the insinuations 
 c in the letter^ against the Methodist Preachers in this Province, do much 
 
 injustice to a body of pious and deserving men, who jusfly enjoy^tho 
 " confidence, and are" the spiritual instructor^ of a large portion of Your 
 
 Majesty's subjects in this Province. : 
 ^ Weaieconvinoed'thatthetendency of then: mfluence and instruction 
 
 is not hostile to our institutions, but, on the contrary, is eminently 
 . favorable to religion and tnorality ; that their labours are calculated to 
 
 make their people better men and better sufcject^ and have already 
 
 produced in this Province the happiest effects. .^ 
 
 We would al86b*g leave to state, that it .is ihe general desire of 
 Your Majesty's sul^ects in this Province, that the monies arising from , 
 the sale of any of the lands set apart/in this Province for the support

 works for the internal improvetnent 'of the Province, of great irapgr- ^Z»^^^9. 
 tance to ita prosperity and to the ease Und tomfort of Your Majesty's 
 ■ubject8,are ueeessarily neglected for the want of money in the Pro- 
 vincial Treasury ; for altliough the taxes are only of a trifling amount, 
 yet, from the scarcity of money and the want of even a tolerable price 
 for the productions of their farms, they are paid with great aifflculty 
 by many of Your Majesty's people; it is impossible, therefore, to raise 
 by taxationihe means necessary to undertake and carry on those work*. 
 It is also moat desirable that a larger suiA |han is a^ present at our dis- 
 posal shoul4*)e employed to extend througt the country the advantages 
 
 of education. ;. * i ^ 
 
 We, therefor*, humbly pmj that the -monies arising from the sale of 
 the lands set apart in this Province for the support and maipterianee of 
 a Protestant Clergy, may be placed at the disposal, of the Legislature 
 of this Province for the purposes wo have nWBlioued.

 think 1 need scarcely assure you that, if the loyalty of the inhabitants Lte«t«n^« ^ 
 of this Province has been impeached, of which I am,not aware, it could ^J^^^^* 
 neither require nor receive a stronger vindication than would be founcj 
 in the representations which have been continually transmitted from > . : 
 &fa Government by my predecessors as well as byTPyself. The great 
 impbrtance of providing for religious instniction, and for education 
 generally, is happily exemplified in,the moral condition of the people^?] 
 of the united Kingdom; and the measures which have been taken by 
 His Majesty in order to secufe the same blessings to this Colony, sub- 
 jecUng no portions of its inhabitants to burthens or to civil disabilities ^ 
 of any kind, cannot fail in the end to be rightly understj^ and 
 gratefully appreciated. ' ,■ / ,

 With rwpest to the Clergy Reserves I have no hwitoUo^^^^^ 
 ' in lUipjr that I enUruly «)ncur ^ith the A-embly in thinking th^ 
 they forma grwtoUtacle to the improvement and MtUement of the : , 
 Province, without bein^ produc|ive of any conwponding advantage to 
 „»ke up for the inconvenience. Durmg the forty yeara the <yrtem of 
 makinii theae Reservea has existed, the total amount of the mcomo 
 they liax-e afibrded has not equalled the expenie incurwd in theu 
 numagemenU ^. -.._-../. ■- '^ ./■',■. .v"-i ,: y ..■'■■ '■ 
 
 I find by the Abstract of the income and exjpendUure of the' 
 .Corporation(brrttenasingtheR.«ervesthatthereceipts.duri|f|thel«t v 
 
 • ' rne yeans have not averaged more th-.n £200 a year, and that the v^ 
 ■Vhole'of these auins have bten absorbed by the expense* 4f the offieera 
 .'of the Corpomtion. It is indeed stated that a considerable number of , 
 teaw have been granted, and that a yearly inoohie may be expected 
 from the land so let of £3,350 currency; it appean, however, that thu 
 turn is what is calculated upon as the amount of the rent which Oi^ht 
 to be obUined, not what has been actually received ; and 1 fear that 
 when the expenses of managament and collection come to be deducted, . 
 and the necessary allowance made for bad debts, the net, proceeds would 
 be very considerably reiucod ; oven supposing the nominal rent to bo 
 co!lectod,it would bo but a siair sum when compiw«d witjh the burden ^ 
 infiicted upon the Colony. It aeems indeed to bo;proved by what has /' 
 been experienced, not only in Canada but in the Australian Colomet/ 
 thatlana in countries where so much remains unappropriated, ca« 
 only be profitably oacupied by those who hav^ the stimulus of personal 
 ••'■* Hence t^e income derived from landed jpro* 
 of the government for any public purpo*^ 
 
 ^ ^e inconvenience it occasion* ; the same sum 
 
 In almost any other manner would be t;iuch less burdenaomo to

 OK;f»t Britain, 31st, Goo. 3r<l, ono-Bcvcnth of tlio landa of this Province 
 WAS set apart for the support of a Protestant Clergy, v 
 
 That, under that act, appropriations havfiv from timd to\timo ijcoii 
 made, and which appropriations are, in the Province, known by the 
 name of the "Clergy Reserves ;" tli.it these appropriations having 
 been generally made'^n lota of 200 acres throufjkout tlio several Town- 
 ships of this Province, the value of the same has been much enhanco<l 
 by tiio settlement of the countr}-, and principally from the improvement 
 of the lands in the neighb«nirhoml of such appropriations by the lal^r 
 of inhabitants, composed of various denominations of cliyistians ; that . 
 these Reserves being so interspersed with the lands of actual settlers, 
 have materially retarded the improvement of the country ; that by an 
 act passed in Uie reign of his late most gracious MajMy, provision was. 
 made for a sale of a portion of the said Reserve^; that it'is unjust, as 
 well as unpolitic, to appropriate the said land- to the support of any; one 
 church exclusively, and it is extremely difficult, if notaltog^iher imprac-' 
 ticable, to apportion or divide the same among the Clergy of all 
 denominations of Protestants; that a larg<J majority of the inhabitants 
 of this Province arc sincerely attached to Your MAjesty's person and 
 Government, but are averse to the establishment of any exclusive or 
 dominant church; that this House feels confident that, to promote the 
 prosperity of this portion of Your ^jesty's dominions, and to satisfy 
 the earnest desire of the people of this Province, Y'oxu: Majesty wiU bo 
 graciously pleased to give the most favorable consideration to the wishes 
 of your faithful subjects; that, to terminate the jealousy arid dissension 
 wldch have hitherto existed on the subject of the said Reserves, fo remove 
 a barrier to the settlement of the country, and to provide a fund availv 
 ble for the promotion of education, it is extremely desirable that the 
 said hinds so reserved be sold, and the proceeds arising^ from the sale 
 of the same, placed at the disposal of the ProviiKjial Legislature, to be , 
 applied exclusively for that purpose; we therefore humbly pray that 
 your Majesty wifi bo graciously pleased to recommend to Your Majesty's 
 Parliament of Great Britam and Ireland, to pass an Act to authorise 
 the sale of the Clergy Reserves reriiaining un'<old, and to enable the

 COLBORNE TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL AND "'jJ^^^gllS^ 
 HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF UPPER CANADA, |K"b? A-«n. 
 
 • On 26TII January, 1832. v ciit}a.otf9s*h 
 
 Janualnr, 1839. 
 
 Tho Lieutenant-Governor has received HiB MajcstyV commatiils to 
 make the follnwing communication to tlio [Legislative Council, House of 
 Assembly] in roferonco to tlie iamls wliicli, in pursuance of tlie Con- 
 stitutional Act of this Province, have been set.apart for thesupport and 
 maintenance of a'Protestant Cloi^y. i. 
 
 The representations which have at different times been made to His ; 
 
 Majesty and his Royal predecessors, of the prejudice sustained by his " 
 faithful subjects in this Province, from the appropriation of tho Clergy ___^i_i 
 Reserves, have engaged His Majesty's most attentive consideration. 
 
 His iMajesty hasy with no less anxiety considered how far such an 
 appropriation of territory is conducive either to the temporal welfare of 
 the raiiuster of rAigion in this JProvince^ or to their spiritual influence. 
 
 Bound no lesfe by his personal feeluigs dian by the sacred obliga- 
 tions of that station to which Providence has called him, to watch over 
 the interests of all the Protestant Churches within his dominions. His 
 Majesty could never consent to abandon those interests with a view to 
 any objects of temporary and^^parent expediency. 
 
 It has, tfiereforo,' been \Vith ixjculiar satisfaction that, in the result of ^ 
 these^inquirios into this subject, His Majesty has found that tho changes ' 
 
 sought for by so large a proportion of tho inhabitants of this Province; / ; 
 
 may be carried into effect withoiit sacrificing the just claims of the ' 
 established Churcheft of England and Scotland. ii 
 
 The waste lands which Imve been. set apart as a provision for the 
 Clergy of those venerable bodies have hitherto yicldal no disposable 
 revenue; the period at which they might reasonably be expected to • 
 
 bfcomc more proiluctivo is still remote. ,

 I lost no time in transmitting the messnge, a dnift of which was en- 
 closed in No. 60j to both houses of tho Provincial Lcgishituro, and re- , 
 quested tlio Attomoy General to move for leave to bring in a Bill to 
 enable His Majesty to resume the lands set aport for the support of a 
 Protestant Clergy. 
 
 The Bill proposed for adaption was copied as nearly as possible 
 from the draft prepared under your Lordship's directions. . 
 
 The proceedings of thfi Afisembly, on the motion of the Attorney 
 
 General, are annexed, by which your Lordship will perceive tliat there 
 
 ' was no disposition on the part of the House to take up the question 
 
 till next session. i^,

 I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt o^^ur Despatch of 
 the 3rd of Febrqaiy, in answer to my Despatches upokthe subject of 
 the Clergy Rtiserveci of Upper Canada. 
 
 You did perfectly right in making a oommimicatu^ to. the two 
 KandieB of the Legislature, of the instntetion which vou had received, 
 and of the fanportant" objects to which you were greeted to call their 
 attention; and, although, firom the late period of4he Session at which 
 those instructions reached you, and firom othw cfrcumstances which had 
 occurred during its progress, Iwa not surpntod that the Le^slatUre 
 was anxious to avoid taking up at thattime^ /the consideration of such 
 weighty matters^ I flatter myself that the tWo Houses and the people 
 at huge^ will have seen in the course which ycru were instructed to pui^ue 
 an additional proof of His Majesty's grest anxiety to attend to all 
 questions which appear to affect the .prospelity and well being of the 
 
 As the Legislative consideratipn of thu subj^ must now be portponed 
 tin another year, of course my former instructions as tcP the sale of 
 Cleigy Reserves, under the ImpcorialActof 1827, are no longer strictly 
 api^icBble. y 
 
 You will, therefore, oonisider ybuiself at Uberty to proceed with the 
 sales w leases as usual, up to the 30th June, 1833, and as I have entire 
 confidence m your judgnrant and discretion, I do not wish to put any 
 restraint upon you as to the qiiantity of land which you may authorize 
 to be sold during that year, Ujnuting it of course to the quantity author- 
 ized by the Act refened to. ' i: will thank you to keep me regularly 
 iafimned every half-year, of the sales which may have taken place, and

 In a private letter which you addressed to Mr. Hay, on the 6th 
 
 March, 1831, you enclosed a paper shewing the amount of interest 
 
 which would 1)6 payable upon the receiveil payments of the sales of 
 
 1829 and 1830 ;• I will thank you to furnish mo with a shnilar stade- 
 
 ment for the salea of 1831. 
 
 It 8 vejy'material,with a view to a satisfactory consideration of tlie 
 existing funds which UJider the present law, may bo applicable to the 
 church expenditure, to have a precise and detailed account of tlioso 
 clergy lands, which are under lease; the number of acres leased; the 
 .amount of reptfl receivable ; the gross produce and nott proceeds ; after 
 paymg ^e^arge of collection, togejtlier with fpme general statement 
 of thte tod^ities and capabilities of the^nds so leased, whether for build- 
 ing or for cultivation, are aU matters with respect to which I am 
 anxious for full information^ln connexion with this question and with 
 reference to my despatch of tfie 2l8t November last. No. 67, in which 
 I directed you to apply a certain portion of the casual and territorial 
 revenue towards the income of the Bishop, 1 have now the honor to 
 acquaint you that it has been determined to submit to Parliament an ■ \[' 
 
 for tliat sctrvice, to be an^iually voted during tlie life of the 
 present Bishop. ■■■/■'■';■ / 
 
 if this vote should be agreed to, it would, of course, not be necessary -^y 
 
 for you to carry into effect that part of my said instructions which . y /^ 
 refen«d to ' ^is Lordship, except it, be convenient as an advance, to be 
 repaidoutoftheParhamentaiy grant; you will not howevier, consider 
 yourself at hbertyj without further instructions, to apply that sum of 
 JC1,500 to any other purpose, as it would be very convenient to keep it as . 'i 
 a reserve with a view to the futui^. " 
 
 (Signed) 
 
 GODERICH. 
 
 "P.S.— Since the above d&patch was written, I have rtfceived yours of 
 the 14th December, 1831,No.48, which contains much useful information 
 upon the topics of my present despatch. 
 
 I io noti however, think that it entirely supercedes the necessity of 
 information upon other points referred to, and hiive therefore made no 
 change in what I have previously written. 
 
 Your hint as to the ^urce whence the Bishop's JC1,500 should be 
 drawn (if it be necessary to apply provincial resources at all to that 
 object) is judiacJUs, and you will attend to it accordingly; and the same 
 obeervatipn will apply to the salaries of the two Archdeacons.

 DowxiHo StRKITi

 Aprils laaa. 
 
 Sir,— In my detpatch, No. 67, of tlie 21^t ^jToveinbe^, 1831,' X 
 autliorized you to apply in the year 1832, towards Uie maintenance of 
 the Bishop and other Ministers of the Church of England in Upper ; 
 Caqada, X6,000 out of the Casual and Territorial Revenue of tliat 
 Province; and I estimated that the resources available to the same 
 object from Provincial Funds by Law applicable to it would amounito 
 about £1,000 making in the whole a sum of £6,000. I directed you 
 at the some time to divide the sum into three parts, whereof on<v 
 amounting to £1,600 was to be paid to the Bishop, another, Wount- 
 ing to nearly £1,000, to the Two Archdeacons of York and Kingston, 
 and. the third, of £3,600, in'aid of those payments which the Society 
 for the propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts is in the habit of 
 making to the Ministorsof the Church of England who are denomin- 
 ated Missionaries. You have since been informed by me in my des- 
 patch. No. 62; of the 30th of March last, that His Majesty's Govern- 
 ment have determined to call upon Parliament to vote, during the Ufe 
 of the Bishop, the whole of his income; The charge therefore f(* the 
 miuntenanoe of the Clergy for the year 1832 will be reduced from 
 £6000 to £4600, I have since learned from your private letter of the 
 i6th of February, that the resources derivable from the funds set apart 
 for this object will considerably exceed the amount at which, judging 
 from the information in my possession, I had ventured to rate them. 
 It now appears that the interest upon instalments to be paid in 1832, 
 upon Reserves antecedently purchased, trill amount to £1200*,, and that 
 the net produce of the Rents of Clergy La^s leased will not be less 
 than £2300. To these two sums will be. to be added the interest upon 
 the purchase money of these Reserves* tested in our funds, which will 
 iamount to about £300. The total of these items will be i£3800, 
 instead of £1000 at which I had estimated them; and if to this total 
 iheie be added from the casual and territorial revenue £1000 mining 
 in the whole £4800, there will be abund/ant means of meeting aH the 
 demands for salarieB, including the two Archdeacons, for wMch I had 
 intended to provide. A' question therefcne naturally arises^ as to the 
 most advantageous mode of disposinj^of the £4000 to be taken out of 
 the casual and territorial revenue, which had been destined to this par- 
 ticular service, and which will no longer be required for that purpose. I 
 liave considered with great 'attention the observations contained in your 
 private letter of t^e '16th of Febmaiy, and the propositions which 
 nsult fifom them; "and lam htippy to find that your practical views 
 ifounded upon personal knowledge an^ experience, aresocpincident urith 
 
 thoM i|liich upon a more speculative view i had been led.^ entertun.

 ing tho future comfort, if not the pomplote mniiitenanco, of tb«^ lU>ot<)ni. 
 With this view it apixjiirs to me tliat it would be most dcnirable to 
 make u beginning in tluB salutiiry work by nwignuig to it a portion, 
 at least, of the £4000 to whicli I have before alludo<l, aft being no 
 longer rormiro*! (during tho proHcnt year at all ovent«) for tho jiayment 
 of clerical salarioB. I aiy a portion of thin sum, bocauHe I am led to 
 think that it would bo expeiliont, with a„view lo prevent jealousy and 
 attempts at interference with thia Territorial ftind, to permit ubraio part 
 of it to l>e disposed of for religious objects generaUy, without roferenco to 
 the particular motles ot belief which certain classcf^f tho community . 
 may entertain. Somo of it might, for instancej be applied to Churches, 
 for the ProsbyteriaiiR, somo for Roman Catholic Chapels, and somo 
 even for the Methodists, particularly that portion of them who may bo 
 in communion with tho Wesleyan Methodists of this country. It. is 
 obviously irapossiblc to think of aiding every Bubdivision of Rwligionists, 
 whoso varieties are too indefinite to ouumorate; and I feel t\itA even 
 with respect to those classes to which I have alladod I cannot well un^ 
 dortako to prescrilw to you from hence Uio exact proportion of assist- 
 ance which it might bo fit to grant to each. £4000 in the whole will 
 be disposable, and I willingly leave it to your discretion to decide as to 
 the proportionate distribution of that sum., I am well aware thaC in 
 the execution of this duty you wiU have to steer a difficult course, and _ 
 that it will require no smaJl tact to detennine by what practical moans 
 these important objects can best be attained; the diifusion of religious 
 feelings and motives of conduct is the great point V be aimed at, and 
 His Majesty's government must naturally fool anxious that these should, 
 be as extensively as possible in unison with the Established Church of 
 this country ; but it cannot be forgotten that the condition of Society 
 in such a country as Upper Canada presents difficulties in the pursuit, 
 of this object which are very serious, and that a state of religious peace is 
 above all things es^ebtial in establishing in the minds ^gdlie people 
 tho efficacy of religious principles. Whilst, therefore, I^jp^t without 
 resen'emy own extreme anxiety for the widest extension of the Church 
 of England in Upper Canada, I feel it to be scarcely less itiportant 
 eamesdy to urge die inexpediency of seeking to promote that great 
 £§. object by aimitig at die exclusion or tefn^essionof other Churches. 
 
 I communicate to you these sentiments on the part of the Kuig*8 
 Government, with an entire reliance upon your judgment and coinci- 
 
 dence of vietro; atad the present temper of the majority of the House

 But it is evident that this now charge, together with another which 
 I sanction by my despatch. No. 22, of this day's date, would be liible to 
 render the burthens on the Crown revenue greater than the receipts, 
 unless relief bo afforded in sonio other direction. ' 
 
 On this ground I have been induced to r*con8ider the instructions 
 conveyed to you by my predecessor on thi^?2nd July lasl, for applying 
 the interest on instalments of the pupchase-lrhoney of Clenylleserves to 
 Ihe improvement of land; and I have the honor to aUtiorize you to " 
 
 appropriate that fund, as formerly, to the payment of the salaries of ' 
 
 Church of England missionaries ; an arrangement which will of course 
 materially diminish the pressure on the Crown revenue for the mainte- 
 nance of the salaries pledged to the existing missionaries in Upper 
 Canada. —

 < The Constitutional Act hanng authorized His Jtfajosty, with tho: ad- 
 vice of the Legislative Council and Assembly, to vary or repeal aiiy».of ■ -, 
 the provisions therein made for the allotnient and appropriation of lands 
 for tfie support of the Protestant Clergy, Lord Ripon, availing, himself ' ' \ 
 of that enactment, proposed that the power of repeal should be exor- 
 cised by those bodies, and should, be accomp^knietl with a declaration ; ■,':■■■':[■; 
 tliat.theReaenM^nds should merge in the general demesne of the 
 Crown. '^MJHct of this prolHjeal was tobring the Re.ser>c8 within the 
 reach of t&Kli^^NJ rules under which all the waste lamls of the Provmoe ' 
 are pro^pj^l%^y fK>ld to the highest bidder. To proyciit any pisniblo 
 misconeeptiod of the views of His Majesty's Government, the draught of a . 
 Bill for the accomplishment of this design was transmitted to Ix)rd • .' 
 Aylmer, with instructions to give his assent/ if such a law should bo 
 presented for his acceptance. 
 
 To obviate the risk of oftencp being given, by suggesting tov.tho 
 House of Assembly the extict language, as well as the general "8copo\of 
 a measure to originate with them. Lord Ayhner was directed to prOh 
 ceed with'the most cautious obsenance of the privileges of that body^r -

 Artticipating the contingency of the mcasxire being adopted in sub- \ 
 stance, but with variations in the terms, Lord Kipon further statetl, that ; 
 
 in that event the Bill was not to be rejected by the Governor, but was -f* , 
 to be specially reserved for; tlie signification of His Majesty's pleasure. . - 
 
 ■ In obedience to these directions, the Bill was intnxluced into the 
 
 House of Assembly, but did not pass into a law. That it would have 
 
 effectually removed the grievance jwinted out by the Catiada Comniitteo . ^ 
 
 has not been disputed, nor can the Ministers of the Crown be held in 
 
 any sens© responsible for the continuance ofan evil for which they had ; 
 
 tnatured 80 complete a remedy. Tlie only explanation which has over 
 
 been given of the failure of the proposal is, that the Solicitor General, ^ 
 
 Mr. Ogden, had used some expressions, wliejnce it was inferred that His , it 
 
 Majesty's government would i^eject the Bjll, if altered in a single word.^ > 
 
 It is scarcely credible tliat this should be an accurate sumjise fef the 
 r^ cause of the loss of the Clerg}^ Lands Appropriation Bill.) 
 
 It is not to be believed that the Assembly of IJowcr Canada would 
 have rejected am unobjectionable prop(^ for the redress of a grievance 
 of which complaint had been long and RnM^y^^ade, for no other rea- 
 son, than that a public oflBcer^ not of thehighest rank or cojisideration, had

 DISCUSSION BY THE HoUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF LoWER CaNADA IN l!|pB"Noti^'of 
 
 THEIR 92 Resolutions as are not disposed of in Lord AbeR- »«* of «»»«"« 
 • deen's Despatch above-mentioned.^' 
 
 14. Although it would not be^fl^iblo to find terms more large or JiaRSSiJJon" a» 
 distinct than those employed by Lord Ripon to invite the House of ;f^„'|2o?j''Ato- 
 Assembly to iregulate the Application of the Clergy Reser>e8, yet it is ^^^S^S^, 
 stated that a member of the Assembly, holding oifice under the Crown, 
 declared, in his place, that the House of Assembly would not beper- 
 mitted to alter one word of the Bill which had^bcen brought in under 
 Lord Ripon's directions. To the Bill itself there was it is said no ob- 
 jection; but under such a menace the House could not act, and the 
 failure of the proposal is referfedUl that cause. Lord Ripon's desjiatch 
 of November, 1831, had distinctly anticipated the contingency of the 
 Bill being modified in .its progress through . the Provincial L^islature 
 and had directed the Governor in that contingency, not to refuse his 
 consent, but to reserve the Bill for the signification of the Royal plea- 
 sure. Any unauthorized language of the Solicitor Geberal, Mr. Ogden, ^ f 
 ought not to have vireighed against this authoritative declaration, Itig '^ 
 said however^ that his Lordship's Bespateh of November; 1831, on this 
 subject was not before the House ; Lord Amherst will therefore eommu- • 
 nicate to theni acopy of that despateh, and invite them to resume the 
 consideration of the subject to which it refers.

 iESOtUTlONS OF TlIE HaUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF UPPER ^^^J,** 
 
 B«Bolved, That thiBHouiw bm* repeatedly expressed the opinion, tbat 
 tlie lands Appropriated for the support and maintenance of a Protestant 
 dennr within this Province, coinmonly called the Clergy Reserves, 
 oiiirht,for various reasons, to be sold; that it M^uld be unjust to apply 
 the monies arising from the sale of the same to the benefit of one or 
 more favored religious denominaUons, and Ibat it would bo impractiCR- 
 ble,and, frota many considerations, inexpedient, to distribute the monies 
 arising therefrom among all denominations; and fhat this House has 
 bwii unremitting in its endeavors to procure the sale of these lands, and 
 the application of tlie funds produced by such sale torobjectsof great 
 importance and interest to the people of this Province^ that with this 
 view the House has heretofore repeatedly passed Bills priding for the 
 Bale of the Clergy Beserves, and the appropriation ff the Wnies arising 
 therefrom to the support of Education, which Bills have W rejected 
 without amendment by the Legislative Council ; that wiflithe same 
 view this House has frequently made kno^n, by humble aW dutiful 
 Hd^ress to His Majesty, t^ir wishes and opinions, and the wi^^esand 
 ^opinions of His Majestyv's faithful subjects in thisProvince, on tU^high- 
 ' important subject, and this House takes this opportunity of declaring 
 t^ese wishes andppipions, both on the part of this House and of 
 ^v.. constituents, remain entirely unchanged; that, during tiie second ' 
 session of the lait Parliament, his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor 
 by message, informed this House that he had received His Majesty's in- 
 structions to declare that the representations, which had at different times 
 been made to His Majesty and his Boyal predecessors of the prejudice . 
 8u?tain^ by His Majesty's faithfol subjects of this Province from the 
 appropriation of the Clergy ReBerve,8 had engaged His Majesty's most 
 attentive consideration, and His Majesty has most graciously been 
 pleased to invito the House of Assembly to consider how the power 
 given to the Provindal Legislature by the Constitutional Act to vary of 
 repeal the provisions which it contains for the allotment and ^propria- 
 tion of the Clergy Reserves could be most advantageously exercised for 
 the spiritual and temporal interests of His iSuthful subjects in this Pro- 
 vince; thatthisHpuse, in comphance with His Majesty's wishes thus 
 graciously expressed, and witii'the strong and weU-known desires of His 
 Majesty's faitiifid subjects in this Province, has- passed a BUI during the 
 present session to provide for the sale dfthef Clergy Reserves, and to 
 apply the monies arising from such sale to the support of Education; 
 that the Legislative Council hasnot passed the said Bill, has not amended 
 it, and has not passed any other Bill on that subject; and that under 
 these circumstances this House cannot but express the extreme aston- 
 ishment with which it has received the representation of the Legisla- 
 ♦ivfl Council that the.lfgislature of the Province has been unable to 
 
 concur

 concur in any nMMure renpecting the Clergy RtiMncA, and although 
 thia House has little expectation that the Lcgidlativo Council, na now 
 constituted, will comply with th6 wiuhes of the |)eople of the Province^ 
 yet it feels bound to declare that this House is, and alwayn hns bcoDj 
 ready and anxious to concur in any just and roiiHonnblo iitcnMuro what- 
 ever by which the Clergy Reserves could be applied to ttuch useful 
 purposes as would be most advantageous to His Miijt>st}-'B faithful poopio 
 in this Province, and most loonformablti to their well-known wiHhei} 
 ihat this House cannot but express its confident hopes, that His Majesty 
 will not bo induced by any representation, whether secret or open, to

 I have the honor to transmit to youan Address to the Kingfrom the 
 L^islative Council relatiye to the Clergy Reserves, in which they ex- 
 press their deep regret that the questions which have been agitated with 
 , respect to the Clergy Reservea should continue unsettled; but confiding 
 / in the wisdom and justice of His Majesty, and of Parliament, hope that 
 y' with as little delay as the subject may admit of, such an enactment may 
 be passed as shall not leave any room for doubt or question in regard to 
 ihe Qittjecta to which the proceeds of the Clemy Reserves are to be ap- 
 . plied, and that by some measure which shall be final tuid unequivocal, 
 Buch an appropriation of them may be made as shfdl appear to be most 
 consistent with a due regard to religiop, to the principles'of tlie constitu-. 
 tion, and to the pennanent welfare tind tranquiUity of the Province. 
 
 The report referred to in the A.ddrees accompanies this despatch. 
 
 I have also to draw your Lordship's attention, at the request of the 
 House of Assembly, ijO the reisolutioruradoptedby^the Assembly in con-

 I am dirocteil to acquiuht yon that before the Lieutenant Oovemor 
 with the advice of tho Executive Council, can proccetl to constitute 
 and erect Parsonages or Rectories in each settled Township 
 of the Upper Province^ in conformity to tho Act of the Slst Geo. 
 3, cap. 31, it is necessary that tjie Crown Officers should state, for the 
 . information of the Lieutenant Governor and Executive Council, the 
 precise mode by which Parsonages or Rectories can be legally consti- 
 tuted, and carefully draw out tho form of the instrument which they may 
 recommend to bo adopted in future, when the Lieutenant Goyeftior 
 deems it necessary to coastitute Parsonages or Rectories, to endow , 
 them, and to present Ministers. Tho late Attorney General made a 
 report on these subjects, ,which tho Lieutenant Governor has already 
 transmitted to you. ' . J^-r^ • 
 
 Ypil will perceive from th^ accompanying correspondence that tho

 The Lieutenant Governor still fdheroa to hia former intention of 
 constituting RectoriciLpr Parsonage^ according to tlie Aet which has 
 been cited, in Ovory aettlod Townrfiip; a course which wto sanctioned 
 by the Secretary of State for the Coloniea in 1832. ThuN aaauming. 
 that there are a certain number of Iota »ot apart in every Township for 
 Globes or Endowments, the next stop.to be taken must bo to vest these 
 Lands in the hands of Trustees for the benefit of incumbents, whea 
 the Roctoriert or Parsonages may bo constituted ; and so soon as a con- 
 gregation bo formed by a Minister, the Rectory may be designated by 
 styling it the first or second Rgctory oj. Church of the East or West 
 Township ; dnd if such a course can be legally foUowe<l the Lieutenant 
 Governor is persuaded that the Bishop of Quebec will not refuse to pro-

 establishment of the Church of England should be presented for In- ■ 
 dactioo; the patronage being in idl cases in t^ejCrown. 
 
 :■■ ■■,;••■■ V — ■ ■ ^.' -,■ •'' '" ■,''/ ' ■■"■ ■' t 
 
 9iil. That such Parsonage or Rectory should bo endowed with such 
 portion of the Lands reserved for thesupportof the Established Church 
 as His Majesty's Government should thiftk sufficient for the proper ' 
 mainteiftince of the Minister: and upon these several heads I beg leave 
 to offer the following pl^rvations:—^ • " " . 
 
 Upon the fii-st point, I am of opinion that it is necessary that the 
 limits of all Parsonages or Rectories should bo defined : first, because 
 when declared and established, they are intended to constitute the Ec- 
 clesiasticar Divisions of the Province, in the same manner that Parishes 
 constitute these divisions in England; second, because the Minister 
 being appointed to the Cure o/^om/» within' Ais Parsonage of Btc- 
 tortjj and as no duties can be legally required of him beyond its limits 
 it is obvious that it must contain such a number of inhabitants as will, 
 constitute a congregation; and, third, because Chlilichwardeiis must be 
 elected annually by and from among thei members of the Church re- 
 siding within the boundaries of the Parsonage or Rectory, and cannot b*- 
 elected from among any other class of persons. And it' may be necessary 
 to remark, with reference to Churchwardens^ that they should be legally 
 appointed; and that whori so elected they becoraa vested with the con- 
 trol of the moveable effects belonging to tho Church, have the power 
 . ofregulatin^ and settling fees and pew rents, and generally are place I 
 in the management t)f all . mattora relating to Church property and 
 funds, with tho exception of the landed endowments and other real es- 
 tate held bjr the Incumbent and derived from the Crown. 
 
 Upon the second point I beg to remark, that the Minister,».when in- 
 ducted, becomes vested wiUi all the rights which belong to a Parson 
 or Rector of a Parish in England, and is in like manner subject to all 
 the duties and responsibilities which in that country attach to the In. 
 cuinbent of a Living there. With rfespect to the rig^hts of a Parson or 
 Rector, they are few even in England, and are still less in number in 
 this country. Hero there are no tithes, no exclusive right to marry or 
 to keep registries of marriage, births, christenings or burials; no claims 
 to fees, privileges, or immunities of any kind, arising from usage or 
 prescription. In thi^country, as in England^ the Parson or Rector, 
 when inducted^ becomes a corporation sole, and ns moh ho i^^ipveated

 with all the re«rf *.-/«/« with which the Parsonage or Rectory » en- Oi't^jij^ofBoHei- 
 dowed, and control c ver these (which are the only righfii that exclu- y^Xwa.'** 
 aively helong to *tiiii) he alone cafi exerciae, he the Kmits of his Par- "■. 
 
 Bonage great oi -niall. On the other haud^ every duty that is Imposed 
 on an Incumltmt of a Living in England attaches to him h^e, and he 
 is responsible to the civil or ecclesiastical power for theii?' due perfor* 
 mance. Tiie apprehension thereforq that has been entertained (by my- . 
 self as well as othere,) that'by extending the limiU of a Parsonage or ■* 
 RectoM, a power would be giveA to the Minister that might be im- 
 properly used* and therefore lead to inconvenient consequences, is, up^n 
 examination, found to be without grounds ; on the contrary, ip propor- ' 
 
 tiou as the limits of the I^arsonago or Rectory are extended, the duties 
 aad responsibilities of the Incumbent are increased, and the control 
 of the congregation over him "Strengthened, while he gains 
 no additional advantage whatever to himself. - The l^ws 'do hot pre- 
 scribe the number of inhabitants a Parsonage or Rectory should con- 
 tain before the Bishop is authorized to induct a Minister to the cure of ' , 
 souls Avithiu its limits, and therefore this must, to a certain degree, be 
 left to his discretion ; but the creating a Parsontoge or a Rectory, with- 
 out assigning boundaries, would, in itiy opinion he void, and therefore ^ . 
 without thift being dope neitfier presentation nor induction could legally ^ 
 takelWace* ^- ••■ 
 
 Upon the last poinVit is ^iiwMsary for me to make any further

 The groat respect duetto the opinion of tlno Solicitor General iite led 
 m* to freauent reconsiddVations of my advice, timthis Excellency, under 
 tho'JiTfperial Act above recited, iniglit erect and cojistituto these Par- 
 sonages, and endow them, without assigning any territorial limit^for 
 tho spiritual jurisdiction and operations of tho Parson, in the natu» of 
 'H Parish; and I cftnnot divest myself of tho opinion that tho Parson- 
 .age may be so consdtutcd, and (nay consist of the Parson, with th(> 
 Church, Ac, and the endowrriismt. Parish, in its tcchnical.sense, liav- " 
 ing relation to Tithes, Church W«s, ike, undoubtedly requires ascer- 
 taihod huiits; tho word, however, i& not used in the Act except as n 
 mero'civiisub^livisionoif the Province, and synonymously with Town- 
 ship ; fpr it authorizes the erection and constitution of oiiQ or moro ■ 
 Rectory or Para#naj;e or Rectories or Parsonages within ©very [Town-., 
 ehipQr Parish. Neither do I think the words Parsonage and Rectory 
 nra used with any referenqp tO a particular juris*diction is contradistin- 
 "^ished from Vicarage or Slipjendlarj' Priesthood j but simply as ^en«- • 
 /^Vwhich is tiio largGst.,terra'^applicd to Church Liyings, and means 
 the Beneficia or Endowment :. and I think the Parson or Corporation 
 sole, together with the Church 'and Benefice or temporal Endowment, 
 will' amount to a Parsonage within the n«Baning of the Act^ Had tho 
 Act, while anthorizing thd erection and constitution of Pareonages 
 within eilch Township, used any wo^s implyiitg a division of tho 
 -Township, some doubt might be entertained which the kef, does npt^ 
 no^ raise. Thfe difficulty of making torritorial divisions now which 
 ' would meet the state of population hereafter, together with tM inap 
 plicabihty from the absence of Tithes and Chui^h Rates, the Beneficia 
 consisting entirely of land or the prpceeds of land; combined with the 
 probable impolicy of appearing to create Parishes where there is no 
 ^iritual jurisdiction, or Cure of Souls,, ir^. the ancient sense of the words, 
 where in fact the Clergyman's Parish consists of- his voluntary flock 
 and (X)ngregation, impress me with the opinion that, unless the law had 
 in terms required such a spwsific di\nsion and appropriation of a parti- 
 cular part of each Township t6 each endowment, th<*eontrary system is

 MESSAGE^FROM SIR JOHN COLBORNE, TO THE EXECU-

 ^ QoverDment House, 29th June, 1835. 
 
 The Lieutenant Governor transmits to the Executive Couocil the ac- 
 companying copy of a Communication oddrc^ed to the Law OiBoers 
 pftiie Crown, and the^r Reports, relative to the course which it is pro- 
 po»^ to adopt in constitutmg Parsonages according to Uie Statutes.. 
 
 *'*." The Lieutenant Governor requests the Executive CouncU will exam- 
 ine the forms of,4nstrumeut8 which the Attorney General recommend, 
 
 .Vto be used in c(mstituting and endowing ilcctories and presenting Rec- 
 tors, and take into consideration whether the course re(K)nmiended by 
 the Attorney General is in any respect objectionable; or whether 
 under all circumstances, it may not be for the interests of the Province 
 to direct Parsonages to be constituted and endowed without further 
 deby, and designated in the mode suggested by the Attorney General 
 in all Townships in which missionaries have been appointed by the 
 Bishop of Quebec to take charge of congr^tions. *

 I have the honour to ackbowledge the receipt of your^deApatch of 
 the 23rd May, No. 24, enclosing a memorial from Bishop Macdonell 
 on behalf of the Roman-cathoiio population of Upper Canada, praying 
 that they may be allowed to participate in the btoefitt to hi derived 
 from the Clergy Reserves in the Province. 
 
 In my despitcli of this date. No. 31 j in reply to the address from the 
 ■ Legislative Council to His Majesty on the st^bject of these Reserves^ I 
 have informed you of the ground:* upon which I must decline at pre* 
 sent to interfere with the deliberations of the provincial legislature upon j 
 this subject. You will of course perceive that the same considerationa 
 must prevent my returning any conclusive answer to Dr. Macdoneirs 
 memorial, t have to requeet that you will inform Dr. Macdonell that 
 His Majesty's Gtivemment isTully aware of thie importance of the sub- 
 jfCt to which his memorial refers; but that^ concurring in the views 
 adopted iu regarcl to it by the Eari of Ripon, they are anxious not in 
 any way to interfere with the deliberations of the provincial 1^'slature. 
 It is therefore to those bodies that Bishop Macdonell should address 
 himself on behalf pf the- Roman Catholic setUers of Upper Canada ; 
 and there can be no doubt that the chiims which hie may advance upoa 
 their account will be received with due consideration by the Legislature.

 I h«ve the honour herewith to tranamlt to you a'Commiwion, under 
 Hie Majesty's Sign Manual, appointing you Lieutenant Ooveraor of 
 
 the Provmce of Upper Canada. % 
 
 ■-% ' 
 
 You have been selected for this oflBce at an era of more difficulty 
 and impo^nco t^hau any which has hitherto occurred iu (Uje history of 
 that part of His Majesty's dominions. The expression of Qonfidonce in ' 
 your discretion and ability which the choice itself implies, would onl^

 yow.,' ■;;:'•:■,.■.■"-, ,■../•■::,■ ::;/... : ... ■ .;^;:■■^:;^;.■■:■■:::;.y^.■;..:; " 
 
 In the following instructions I shall pre-suppose jour kifowledge of 
 many occurrences, the correct understanding of which is essential to 
 the discharge of the duties to winch you are called, but which it is 
 unnecessary for- me to recapitulate. As, however, a more exact acquain- 
 tance with Canadian affairs is indispensable for your' guidance in the 
 adminisH^ion of the Government of Upper Canada, I think it right 
 to refer you tcj^ those sources of information on which you will, be able 
 most safely to rely. AnioligBt these^ the first place is due to the Jour- „ 
 nals of the Legislative Council, and the House of General Assembly. 
 The Appendices subjoined to the annual summary of the proceedings 
 of the two Houses, contain a fund of information on almost every topic 
 -wnnected with the statistics and political interest* of the Province [and" 
 to those reports you will be able "to nwri with ^ gi«at«r confidence

 , tluui to my oUuir' source of similar intelligence. The Re{N>rt of th6J2«ii^'*» 
 Oomniittee of the House of COnunons, of the year ,1828, with the ' 
 
 evidence, oral and documentary, to which it refers, will also throw 
 much light on the prbgross and the actual state of the questions agitat* 
 ed in the Upper Province. The correspondence of my predcHH^sors • 
 •nd mysislf with the OfiScers who have successively administered the 
 Provindal Government, will of course engage your careful attention. 
 
 ■ .■-.: In Upper CftBiada, as in all countries which enjoy the blessing of a 
 free Constitution, ahd of a {Legislature com|[X)sed itt-part of the Repre- ; 
 
 aentatives of the people, the discussion 9f public grievances, whether real 
 or supposed, has always been conducted with an earnestness and free- 
 dom of enquiry, of which, even when occasionally carried to exaggera- 
 tion, no reasonable complaint can be made. The Representatives of the 1 
 Canadian people, if departing ai tim^ from the measured style and 
 exact terms in which the investigation of truth may perhaps be most s 
 saCcesBfiilly conducted, havo yet, even in the agitation of questions the 
 moot de^y ailecting the 'Interests of their constituents, exhibited a 
 studious respect for the persoi) and authority of their Sovereign, and a 
 sealous attachment to the principles of their balanced Constitution. 
 Until the last Session of tho Provincial Parliamient the remonstrances 
 of the Hbuae were chiefly confined to insuUited topics of complaint; 
 discussions, indeed, occasipnally arose and discontent was occasianally 
 manifested; but it may be affirmed that, generally, there subsisted a 
 ipirit of amicable co-operation between the Ex^iitive Government and 
 ^ Legi^Uituire. . . '. \ " 
 
 ■■ '■ ■.*- . ' . ■ ■ , ' 
 
 The cession by His Majesty of the Revenues raised under the Statute ' 
 14th Geo. 3, cap. 88, to the appropriation, of the House of AssemMy, 
 was a gratuitous and unsolicited ttct, ahd was accepted by that body in 
 
 . a. jpirit of grateful coriliality.; - > 
 
 I will not pause to recapitulate the events which immediately <{>ra- 
 ceded ;if they did not produce, the interruption of this mutual good 
 onderstandihg; -: *' ^ . 
 
 .:, ■. • ■ ■ ''. ^ '""-':'-■ ;x :)■: ■;■■ v „ .:■■• \: 
 
 It is sufficient for my present object*to observe, that the tdations 
 which' had formerly subsisted between the Executive Oovemment and 
 the Representatives of the pe(^le underwent an entire change^ .imme- 
 diately after the elections which took place in the autumn of 1834. 
 The supporters of the Local Government now, for the first time, found 
 fhemselvea in a constant minority on every question controverted be- 
 tweenihem aild thmr political antagonists. ' A Committee of Gri^y^mcea 
 was appoint^, by which a report was made^ impugning the adminis- 
 tration of affiurs in every dApartmeibt of the public service, and calling 
 for remedial measures of such magnitude and variety as apparently to 
 embrace' every conceivable topic of complaint Having- adopted this 
 
 ht 
 
 
 report^

 npoft; and liav% diraeted iti pnbllcfttion in an oiAiBual form, tlie jg^i^**> 
 
 Hooae transmitted, through tlie Lieuteiumt ChjfTemQr, to the King, fm 
 addnp^ in which some of the more considerable of the claims of the 
 OommiUee were uiged in terms of no common emphasis. It will be 
 your first dut^, on the assumption of the Qovemment, to convey to the . 
 House the answer which His Majesty has been advised to return to 
 these representations. 
 
 • . ■ ■ .v ■...■■■ 
 
 I qmnot proceed to explain the tehns of that answer without the . 
 preliminary remark, with a view to which the preceding statement has 
 hew chiefly made. Whatever may be thf Justness of the complaints • 
 now preferred respecUng t^ general priniSples on which the public 
 aSkirs of the Province hav«?fceeh conducted, the Representatives of the 
 people of Upper Canada aifle at least not wjtitled to imi*hte .to the con- 
 fidential advisers of the king any disregard of their wmonstrances. 
 the greater part of the grievances detailed by the Committee and the 
 House, are now, for iha first time, brotight by them under Hii Majesty's 
 notice. My predeoessoiv the Earl of Ripon, in his Despatch of the 8th 
 NovemberT 1832, to Sir John Colborne, was commanded by the King 
 to state that "there was no class of thp Canadian people^ nor any jn- 
 -dividual amongst them, to whosejpetitions His Majesty did not rwiinj 
 "that the most exact and respectful attention should be given." His 
 MajestyhasneverceasedtoBeactuated by the spirit which dictated 
 those instructions, and of course wifl not deny to the House of; General" ' 
 Assembly, that careful investigaUon of the grouijds of their complaints 
 which he;graciou8ly pledged hinaself to bestow on the le^njtion of 
 
 any incfiviaual petitioner. I feel myself therefore, entiUed, on to * ' 
 
 His Majesty's Opvemnaent, to object to any resort on the- part of the ^ '" 
 House to that ulterior measure to, which/they alludei but>hich they 
 ; will feel wiUi me is to be justified only by an extreme emeigency. 
 
 I now prooeed.to the <S)nsideration of the various topics ^braced in 
 the-Seventh Report of the Committee of Grievances, and in ^e Ad- " 
 dresses of the two Houses to His Majesty. And I shaH advert to them 
 in the order in which they are pwsued in the report itself. ' 
 
 ^^fcthefyiomngpag^ if toy sulgect should a^ ' ' 
 
 oMr without due regard, ^ou wiU underatand that I havts, at least, been 
 
 TBl^ of no intentiony. omission, but have, in obedience to His Majes- ' 
 
 V" conjmands, made it my endeavour to meet every question which 
 
 iheCommitteeandthe'Househavethought it necessary or proper to

 In the long enumeration of places at the 'disposal <*f the Execativfi» 
 Government in Upper Canada, the CommitteMave h6t adverted • 
 one consideration to which I think that great prominence might jusUy 
 be assigned. It w perfectly true, as it is quite iifevitaUe, that in Upper 
 Canada, (»8 in other new countnef, the nimber of public employmenta ' 
 fa, and will be, far larger, in proi>ortiqn, than in older and more dense- 
 ly peopled States. The general machinery of Go\-emment must be the' ^ 
 
 ^ same in a scanty as in a large and redundant population. Coiwsppnd- 
 ing D9p8rtment8 of thtf public seinice, whether LegislaU've, Jiidicial'or '' 
 I ^..-administrative, must exist in both, ^nd in n new country besides 
 
 there will be some establishments, for whicli, in ^ke settled Slto'^f Eu- ' 
 rope, no counterpart can i)e found. Suoh, for sample, arJ^l which 
 relate to the allocation;, surveying, and grantingof wild hnds. NoKfa 
 it to be^forgotten, that in the early stages of such a society many ^^ 
 ties devolve upon the Government; which ata more advanced |ierio<^ 
 are undertaken by the better educated andVealthier classe^. as anhon- 
 ofable ocrtipation of their leisure time. Tlius. in th^a^nadas. although 
 
 the mere ttet of the law would fliere, as in England, authorise any nSn 
 > to prefer , and prosecute an indictment in His Mije8ty»8 name yet 
 
 Tirtually and m substance the prosecution of aU offences is confid^ to "^ ' 
 the Govemnieat or its office. Thesecaus^haveinevitAbly tended to

 It is not difficult to aheWi in reference to any conceivable arrango* 
 meut on the aubject of patronage, that there will bo dangon against 
 Whijch it in iippomible to take aii ahaolute and perfect aeeurity. I know 
 not,! however, that any Iciatt exceptionable achcme could be devioed tha^ 
 that which at preeont prevaila— of -giving to tlie head of the local Gov- 
 «mment the, choice of the subordinate officers, '^ and of making their 
 ^hicos dependent on His Miyesty's plaamiro, To prevent, however, a|( 
 fiur as may be possible, the continuance of any well founded ground of 
 complaint on this head. His Majesty, disclaiming for himself, and for hi* 
 representative in the Province, all desire to exercise,, with th« view 
 .Haerely to patronage, the power of appointmg public officers, is pleased 
 to prescribe for your guidance the following rules : r i , 
 
 FiBST.— Yod will at the earliest opportunity enter into a diligent 
 
 review of tlieofficiM in the appointment of the Crown and of the local 
 
 government as.d^tailod ui Uie report of the Coioamittee and appendix^

 " You will report to me tlio result of ytour investigation, with such 
 particuW information as will enable His Majesty's Govemment to

 dation. 
 
 Secondly, — If during the reference of Uiat report io MiB any occa-i 
 Blon occur for the reduction of Offices, either by abolition or by oon- 
 >lidation, you will exercised your own discretion, as to waiting for fresh 
 itu^tructions, or proceoditig at once ta the reduction. Any appointment ; 
 hpwevor, made under such. circumst^ces^wU be merely provision^., 
 lik ca^'bf the immediate abolition of ilMttflp) not reqiii^ for the

 T^l^nable expectations may entitle them to receive. 
 
 Thirdly. — ^In the prescribed revision A(|lhese offices you will make

 general principlon on whiqh it will bo yo«r duty to net on qucationa of 
 
 this nature, thcro can bo no room for controversy; indeed, those prin> 
 
 ciples will, I think, bo most conveniently considoroil when divested of • 
 
 atopics connected with tho interests and the 8er\-ices of particular persona, 
 
 . I'here is no measuro of rotronchment compatible with tho just claims 
 of His Majesty's various o^cors, and with the eflSoient disfshargo of tho 
 _\jPublic service and duty, to which the King Is not diiqxKcd to give ft 
 . "fiirompt and Cheerful nasoDt. To determine what ought t^ be tho scolo 
 of remuneratioti to Publio FunctioDaries of diflferent dasMs vtmiiim

 ; a special inquiry, in which it might be pitoper to employ Commission- 
 / era, to be appointed under the anthority of m Act of the Assembly. 
 I have reason to suppose that the subjert has never yet undergone • 
 Ml and fair investigation, and therefore I do not feel myself entitled 
 to assume tlie non-existence of those abuses which so readily grow up 
 under a system which isnotsubjected to a careful. scrutiny, conducted ' 
 upon permanent and enlightened views of public economy. Even if 
 the rcshit of the examination should be only to 8l|$w that there is ho 
 evil of this nature to be remedied, the labour wotM be amply repaid, 
 by placing so importont a fact bejondthe reach of idl reai^nable

 The saviqg of public moQ&y which eould ttHao from Ihe uoex" n2**M9 **

 the publldtcifedtt, would weaken the foun<!8tions cto which alfpropri^ , 
 (197 right must ultimately, repose. ,, \ 
 
 The King confidently relies on his fmthftil sulij|«(Qits of tTpp<ir Caft«dA 
 that they will not reduce His Majesty to the djiUMsaing alternative of " 
 either {d)iindonIng the just interests of any of his ftei^<mta^ or opposing 
 himself to neasurea having for their object the redumption of public 
 dipenditure. ; ^ , ; ' -' \ ' 
 
 Fourth^ — N^ in the order of complaints, is tliat which W)1atei^^(o ] 
 the amount of the Pension List. On this, as on the sul^jeei^whkli I 
 hsv^ last notice^^ I conceive Uiiat I shall best discharge WnfC duty by ^ 
 attempung to provide against any future abuse, than by engaging ^n a 
 minute retrospect of any which may have already occurred. J ^ill not\ 
 even pause en the comparison, not perhaps very accurately or nec^i^ ' 
 sarily institutdd, between the conduct of the Central Government of the ' 
 
 United States pf Ameridi, and that which has been pursued in one t^ 
 the Provinces of the British Empire, respecting 4he remuneratibn of A' ' 
 officers for past iserwce. J Such peusionsAs have already l)een charged 
 ''' iiponthe.revenueswhich.were at the disposal of the CroWii, constitute 
 a debt to the payment of which'^ His Majesty's hpnouris pledged;, 
 nor need I state, that there is no consvderation so powerful as to induce* 
 the King to assent to the violatbn of any engagement lawfully and 
 advisedly entered into by himself, or by any of his Boyal Predecessors. 
 
 /* ..." . • 
 
 On the other hand. His Majesty is content, that the most effectual 
 „ security should be taken against any improvident increase of the Pen- « 
 ' non List, by any future grants, and is willing that a limit should be 
 fixed by law to any charge which may hereafter be imposed upon the 
 f> Provincial Revenues on this account. 
 
 I do not hhticipate that the Assembly of I3^pcr Canada would \fh\** 
 to withhold from the King the 'means of rewarding fiuthful dhd zea- ' 
 lous)public services, or would think it desirably that no provision should 
 ever be made by His lifojesty to solace the declining years of those who 
 ^ ^^ c6nsumed in laborious public duties in the Colony the laiger 
 ^ferj^ ofthoir live% <• .^ ^

 in their address to His Majesty of tho 1 3th of April, the Lt^islntivo

 attempting to upteW particular religious sects by money grants, and in

 Asaembly, u as a general rule uacon^iitutional. It is a riffUt of wUch — . — > - 
 the exercise is reserved for extreme cqsee, in which ' neceNtty at oooe %'' 
 creates 'and justifies the exception^ : • « 
 
 But important as is the question of the Clergy Raserres in Uppe^M 
 Canada, yet I cannot find in the actual state of the question, any such '^ 
 exigency as would vindicate the Imperial Legislature in transferring to 
 themselves the settlement of this controversy. 
 
 The conflict of opinion between -the two Houses' upon tins suljeot, , 
 much as it is to bo lamented yet involves no urgent danger to the peace' 
 of society, and presents no insuperable impediment to the otdinuy ad- 
 iniiustration of public affairs ; although a grefet 6vil, it is not such as to 
 CM-ludo every hope of mitigationK^ the natural progress of discussion, r 
 and by the influence of that spirit which, in public afBurs, not seldom s 
 huggesU to parties alike solicitous for the general good, some mutual i 
 surrender of extronio views, and some compromise on either sid^ of 
 diflereuces wWch at first sight might have appeared irreconcilable. - 
 
 Until every praspoct of ailjusiing this dispute within th* i>rovinoe : 
 itself shall have been distinctly exhausted, the time for the interposition ^ 
 of Parliara,^nt will not have arrived, unfess indeed both Houses shall 
 concur in soliciting that interposition, in which event, there would of 
 course, be an cud to the coiistitutiomU objections already noticed. 
 
 The second ground on which I think myself bpiruel to abstain from, /^ 
 ^vising His Majesty fromreferring this question immediately to Par- 
 liament, is, that tl^o authors of the Constitutional Act have declared this 
 to be oneof those subjects in regard to which, the initiative is e:^pre8sly v . 
 ||e»erved and recognized as falling within the peculiar province aiwi tlie ^ 
 special cognizance of the Local L^islalure, although'its u^imate com- 
 pletion is no less distinctly made U> depend, in addition to tfie ordinary -

 Sevkntii— Iteipccting the Collogiate InstitutioM of the Prorince, 
 the A«BombIy oxprew thoir opinion Uwt, « the Upper Cftnada College 
 " is uphold at groat public expense, with high Salaries to its Principal 
 " Masters, but that the Province in general derives very little a^vMitSgo 
 "from it, and that it might be dispensed with." 
 ..'-■.. . '^- ':\- :.'-.■■ .^ r ■■■■"-.■., 
 
 ' His Majesty's Oovomraenl can have no wish to retain toy <*ajge 
 for this Establislimont which may bo i^ore than adequate to provide 
 for the effective performance of the duties of the Teachers. Any wise 
 rotrenchniont of that nnturo, may, subject to the principles already men- 
 tioned, be immediately introduced. , 
 
 That the Province derives little benefit from this College, is a fact of 
 which the explanation is to be found not in the principle of the Insti- 
 tution itself, but^in some error of management, susceptible as it should 
 seem, of an easy rometly. It is (qrtpossiblo to believe, that in Upper 
 Canada, as in other countries, advantages tluj most important would 
 not result from a wefl ordered School, for the educaUon in the elemen. 
 tary branches of Philosophy, Science and Literature, of young men 
 who aspiro to fill the highest offices in society. Nor can I suppose it a 
 light benefit thus to connect togethir the preparatory and the final 
 studies of youth in one systematic plan, whicK, by rendering the iniUa- 
 tory School a careful preparation for the Univeraity, m^ give to their 
 entire education a ,chara<ster of solidity and consistency acawely attain- 
 able by any other metbodi , •' 
 
 I I slui)!, therefore, deeply lament the abolition of a CoUege, of which 
 the defects would appear so remediable, and 6f which it does not seem 
 easy to exaggerate the beiaefits. 1:.'V : V • "■ 
 
 On the subject of King's Coyege, an unfortunate difereQce Of opinion 
 exists, between tho Council and the Assembly, which each of those 
 bodies concurs ip pronouncing incurable. . ., . • , 
 
 / His Majesty commands me to tender through you, his mediation on 
 this subject. With the previous assent of both Houses, flie Kittg will 
 cheerfully resume the consideration of the qucsUOn, in wtat manner a 
 Charter could be most conveniently prepared, so as,^ promote the in- 
 terests of Science and Literature, and the study of Theolog^ and Moral 
 Philosophy, with 4 due regard to the opinions which seem to preraa in 
 the Province, respecting the proper constitution and' objects of >an 
 University. B^t after having distinctly referred tp the local Legisla-/^ 
 ture the duty of giving effect to their own wishes on the subject, m thef 
 form of an Act of General Assembly, His Majesty cannot, at the in-^ - 
 stance of one only of the two Houses, withdraw it from th> , >

 Ixicotuso the Institutba iitelf would be provisional only, and liable to 
 It vision as soon ssa proper Act could be paracd for tbo purpoe^ 
 
 I think it highly probable that amongnt the gentlemen of the Pro- 
 vince most conversant with its financial interests, a sufficieint number 
 would- bo found who> as honorary and unpaid Commifc^otiers, would 
 complete tiie Board, and who, though not engaging ip. the more ordi- 
 nuy routine of business, would ejnorciso a genend superintendence 
 orer the more important proceeding} c^ thd Cfi^tmtasion. Ei^>ecially 
 it would be requisite to obtaia such aid in d<piermining the number 
 a id remimeration of tlio Clerlis and-other ^bordinate officers. 'IJut 
 it must not bo forgotten, that tho effective remedy, 9s the report 
 oserves, is to be found in a Board estabUuied by law, ajiid^ hope thaV"^ 
 a law to that effect may pass both Hoj^ of the Legudature. 
 
 TBkipH. — ^Tho withholding of/public accounts fron^ tho House of 
 
 Assembly is the next ground of' complaint. ; 
 
 I ■ ^' / 
 
 It ia proposed that to remedy this evil, a Statute should bo passed 
 providing the time and manner of making such retUms, and naming 
 tho Officers who should render them to the Legislature; "but" add 
 the Committee, "it is well known that such an enactment would fail 
 " in the Council, which has an interest in preventing tho enforcemont of 
 *• practical accountability to the people." ' ^j^* 
 
 Although I cannot permit myself to" believe, tht^t the CoUn^ w^old 
 really oppose themselves to any judicious measure of this kind, I fear 
 tiiat such Legishition wovdd be foubd to involve many seripus, if not . 
 insuperable difficulties, I must object to the appointment of individu- 
 als for any purposecof this kind, by name, in a statute, or by any 
 mithority other tluin that of the Kmg. . ' 
 
 Persons so appointed would exeniise a control over all the .functions^ 
 of the Executive Government, and would havo a right of inspecting 
 the records of all pubHc offices, i) such an extent, as would leave His 
 Majesty's Representative and all other PubUc Functionaries, Uttle more 
 than a dependent and subordinate authority^ Further^— such c^cets 
 would. be virtually irresponsible and independent 
 
 On this subject, however, His Majesty commands me to state, that 
 there is no information connected with the receipt uid expenditure of 
 any part of the Revenue of Upper Canada which ho wishes to with-, 
 hold from the Representatives of the Canadian people. 
 
 You will, immediately on your arrival in tho Province^ apprizo t£e

 I will not encumber this communication, by entering into a review 
 of the particular transac^ns noticed by tho Committee, in illustration 
 of this complaint. I ^m* i#t indeed sufficiently in possession of the 
 facts to enable me to d^f) so; nor do I think it convenient to combine a 
 personal discussion with a generd statement of the principles by which 
 your conduct is to be/ govCTned. ^ 
 
 The only generaMdirebtion that 1 Have to give you on tliis subject 
 is, that you will always receive the Addresses of the Assembly with 
 the most^tudious Itcnti^n and c<|urtesy. As far as may be consistent^^. 
 with your duty tolthe JCing, you will afxeie to their wishes cheerfully 
 and frankly. Slluld that dut^ ever compel you to differ from thar

 TwBiJtH.--Wn»e n^xt topic of complmt is, that n^ 
 mendatiOna clntained in Lord Ripon's Despatch of the 8th of Nov, 
 1832, have ntot been carried into effect Amongst these are especially 
 mentioned s5ch as rehite to the amendment of the Election Xaws; the 
 non-interfejnce of His Majesty's Officers at Elections; the disclosure

 the exclusfon of Ministers of Religion frp& the Legislative and Execu- . 
 trve Coicils; the reducmg the c^ts of Elections; the Judicial 
 independience; and the limitati(Hij?/the number of Public Officers who 
 may ait in the Assembly. 
 
 /Adhering without reserve or quaHfic«tion to aU the instructions

 TiuBiKENTin— The soloction o^ Justices of tlie Pioace, is said to , ^ 
 l»ve been mado chiefly from persons. of a pecuhar bias in politics, 
 and' to bo the means* of extending the power and influence of the 
 Colonial system." It is not in my power to verify the accuracy of 
 this opinion ; and I am happy to feel myself relieved from the necessity 
 of such an investigation. If any such abuse exists, it cannot be too 
 decisively or promptly remedied. Whenever any mcrease of the num- . 
 ber may appear to you desirable, you will propose to any gentleman 
 in Upper Canada possessing the necessary (^alifications of knowledge, 
 property and character, and unquestionable fidelity to the Sovereign, / 
 
 the assumption of the oflico of Justice of the Peace, without referenco 
 to any political consideration. ■'■-'." 
 
 FouBTBENTir.— A very considerable part <tf the Beport is devoted 
 to the statement and illustration of the fact, that the Executive Govern- 
 ment of Upper Canada is virtually irresponsible; and the conclusion ' 
 drawn from this statement is, that under the present system, there-can 
 be ho prospect of a good and fdithful administration of public afiairs. 
 
 Without entering on, the one hand unnecessarily into a discussioa ^ 
 of those general principles, to which my attention is thus invited, Or 
 digressing on the other hand into personal topics: it w enough for me ; 
 t^observe on the present occasion, that experience would seem to prove 
 that the administration of public affairs in Canada is by no means 
 exempt from the control of a suflBcient practical responsibihty. To 
 His Majesty and .to Parliament, tJie Governor of Upper Canada is at 
 all tiraw most fully responsible for his official acts. That this respon- 
 sibility is not merely nominal, but that His Majesty feels the mosC 
 lively interest in the, welfare of his Canadian subject^ and Ss ever 
 anxious to devote a patient and laborious attention to any representa- / 
 
 tions which they may addr^s to him, either through their representa- 
 tives, or as individuate is proved not only by the whole tenor of the 
 correspondency of my predeeessors in this office^ but by the despatch 
 wliich I ai/now addressing to you. That the Imperial Parliament is 
 not di8p9Md to receive, with inattention the representations of their 
 Canadian fellow-subject^ is attested by the kbourso* the Committees 
 which have been appointed by the House of Commons during the 
 last fewyeais, to enquire into mattere relating to those Provinces. It 
 is the duty of the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada to vindicate 
 to the King and to Parliament every act of Up administration. In the 
 event of any representations being addresseOo His Majesty upon the 
 subject of your official conduct, you will have the highest possible! 
 daim to a £Eivourable construction ; but the presumptions which may 
 reasonably be formed in your behalf will never supensede aclgee exami- ^

 no other, I should hold that every Public Officer should depend on Hia Sy... 
 
 Majesty's pleasure for the tenure' of his office. If the head of any . 
 deportment should place himself in decided opposition to your policy, * • > 
 
 whether that opposition be avowed or latent, it will bo his duty to r 
 
 Tesigu his office into your hands ; because the system of Government \ 
 cannot proceed with safety on any other principle, than that of tlio 
 cordial co-operation/of its various memben in the same general phuiB of 
 promoting Uie public good. 
 
 The inferior members of tho different offices should consider nou- 
 trfdity on this great litigated qucstibn of Provincial policy, as at once 
 their duty and their.privilege. , 
 
 Diligently obeying all the lawfut ipommands of their superiors the^ , 
 will bo exempted from censure, if the course which they have been 
 directed to pursue should issue in any unfortunate results, 
 
 ''1S6me of the Members of the Local Govemipent will also occasion- 
 ally be Representatives of the people in the Assembly, or will hold 
 seats in the Legislative Council. As Members of the Local Ligisla- 
 ture, they will of course act. with,^delity to the public, advocating tmd ' y. 
 
 supporting no measures which, upon a large view of the general inte- 
 rei^^they shall not think it incumbent on them to advance. But if . 
 any such person shall find himself compelled by his sense of duty to 
 counteract the policy pursued by you, as the Head of the Government, 
 it must be distinctly understood, that the immediate resignation of hia ^ 
 office is expected of him^ and that failii^ such a resignation, he must 
 as a general rule, be suspended from it. Unless this course be pursued, 
 it. Would be impoemble to rescue the Head of the Government from 
 the imputation of insincerity, or to conduct the administration of pub^ 
 lie affitirs with the necessai^ firmness and decision. 
 
 I need hardly say, that in the event of any Public Officer being ' 
 urged into a resignation of his place, by his inabQity to give a con- 
 scientious support to his official superior, ,^ merits of the question 
 '. woiold undergo lan investigation of more than comnion exactness by His 
 Majesty's Ministers, and that His Majesty's decision would be pro- 
 n<Mmoed with a perfect iinpartiaUty towards thoise who had the h<Hiotir

 than any of thorn to which I havo hitliorto adverted. I refer to tho 
 demand made, partly in tho Report oif the Committee, and partly in 
 the Addrom from tho Amombly to His Majefity, for changes in tho 
 modo of appointing LogiHlative Councillons and for tho control 
 by tho Aasombly of tho Tonitorial and Casual RoVenuca of tho

 of tho Govcrom^nt in the two sister Kn|inoe8, must, I am well aware, be 
 in every inat<)rial respeet the Rame.<||]Pbhall, therefore, annex for your 
 information, as an appendix to this Despatch, bo' much of Uio Instruo- /

 tn the proMCution of th^ enquiries of the CppmissionerB in Lower 
 Canada, they will he instructed to enter into full and unreserved com- 
 munication with yon upon these questions, and to frame their report in 
 such a manner as may enable His Majesty to adopt a just and final 
 conclusion upon ^e course to be pursued respecting them in both tho 
 Canadas. For \hUi purpose, yW will supply the Commissiohers with 
 all the information which you may think necessary for them to receive^ 
 and with every suggestion which you may think it expedient to make 
 f}r their assistance in comparing t^e state of these questions, in the'iwo 
 Provinces. If it should ultimately appear desirably the ConimuBion 
 may, perhaps, be directed to resort to Upper CaqHida, there to pursue 
 in concurrence with yourself, a moi^ exact inqui^ into these subjects 
 than they could institute at Quebec, in referen9e to the affiurs of the 
 Upper Province. lit general, the Earl of Gosf<iird, and his Colleagues, 
 will be directed to enter into unreserved cotnihunication with you, not 
 otij on the points just mentioned, but on every subject of ^wuon 
 interest to tibe two Provinces. / ^

 ,..|[)race all the clauses in qiieHtion, amongst wliich aro. inclinled thwe 
 which relate to the erection and endowment of Roct<^)rio8. The dt-spatih 
 of the 6th of April 1832 was marked "confidential ;" and it would seem 
 impofisible tliat'Lord llij^n could have designed, by such a communica- 
 tion to convey to the Lieutenant Governor tho King's sanction for 
 neutralizing to a considerable extent the cffc«t of that repeal, which 
 five months before his Lordship had reconmicnded in a public despatch. 
 
 I enclose for your perusal copies of the two desspatches of the 2l8t 
 Novemljcr,"! 831, and of tiio 5th of April, 1832. 
 
 , The questions wliicU I would propose for your consideration are the 
 Allowing: , i 
 
 - :^t-- Adverting to the terms of the Statute, 31 George 3rd, dhap. 
 31, section 36 to 40, and to the terms ofithe Royal Commission, could the 
 
 Lieutenant Governor, 'with the advicf6 of the Executive Council law- 
 fully constitute and erect or endow any Parsonage or Rectory within 
 the Province without the further signification of His Majesty's pleasure ? 
 
 Secondly.— Can Lord Ripou'a Despatch of 6th April, 1832, bo 
 regardetl as signifying His Majesty's pleasure for the erection of Par- 
 sonages or for tlie endowment of them, or for either of those purjioses.

 That the Oovemor's Commission, dated tho Cth July, 1835, follow- 
 ing in this respect tho ancient and establkhed form, authorizes the 
 Governor, or in his absenfco tho Lieutenant Governor, with the advioo 
 of the Executive Council, to erect Parsonages in ejich Township or 
 Parish according to tho establishment of tlwj Church of England, and 
 to endow any such Parsonage or Rectory with any part of Uie Clergy

 . Thus the authoiity wWch His Majesty was enabled by Parliament

 Downing STBK»T,VthSoptomt)er, 1837. 
 Sir,— -During the present year I have received numerous communi- 
 cations from gentlemen, either resident in England, or deputed hither 
 by communities in connexion with the Churches of England and Scot- 
 lahd, on the subject of tlio present state ®f the ecclesiastical establish- 
 ments in the Canadian Provinces, and more especially with reference 
 to the appropriation of the Clergy Reserves. In answer to these Com- 
 munications, I liave entered at consideniblo length into the (mestion, 
 and have fully explained to the applicanta the position and the views of ' 
 Her Majesty's Government respecting it. I herewith enclos^ for your 
 information copies of this correspondence, of which a schedule accom- 
 panies this despatch. \, *; 
 
 With the previous knowledge which you possess of the subject, and 
 the information contained in the aocorapanying letters, it is unnecessary 
 for me to enter into any detaUed exposition of the present state of the 
 case. It it is sufficient to observe, that, notwithstanding the instances 
 the deputies, the objections against any interference of the Imperial 
 which, asyouwUI perceive, have been addressed to me by some of 
 Parliament except at the invitation <rfikr€anadian Legislatures, appear 
 (o be insuperable.

 The stoiy of Mr. Hagi^rman^s condilct oii the great subject of the 
 Gfergy Reserves was shortly ad follows : ' - 
 
 ■ ■ ■ - ■■ . ...' . •-■ . : .. .:' 
 
 . '■ ■. ■ ■ .■ ..■ ■■ 
 
 When that question was about to be brought Wore the Assembly, I

 bably end in nothing. ■ X 
 
 .•■; : ■■ -'"-'^ -y . ' ■■ 'r'..'- :-■■■■■ '■'■.■■'■'.■■ 
 
 I therefore,|although I had no p^ise iristnictions on the subject, 
 determilied to bse all the infliience in m^ gower to help the question to 
 a conclusion j and I accordingly deteraiihed to recommend that the 
 Ileserves should be divided among the Churches of England, Scotland, 
 Rome, and \»e8leyan Methodists, in the proportions whith the popu* 
 lation of those great sects respectively bear to each in the Mother 
 .^Country.:'?: _.;.,, ■ •, — ■■".„■; ■ ^ '''-■■,:■':':': ■.

 On submitting this abstract proposition to Mr.Hagerman,-he at.once 
 assented to the Ohurch gf England, the Church of ScdUaud, rind ftie 
 MeJhodistfl sharing.the Reserves, but he avowed to i^e, thaf Unless strong' 
 
 ^arguments were adduced, hf Could ndt iwnscieiitiously'be th^ advocate

 did Mr. Hagerman urgo \m ol.^-tioim to it ; antW ean tnily add, tho ^.'"1.1? w IIom

 I conceive that ona question of conscience, Mr. Ilngennnn ouglit not

 ' Findiiig that party feeling was running so high that it was imposRi- ,^ ' 
 
 bio for any man breathing to guide.it, I became of- opinitm that it •■ *^ 
 
 would be prudent to abandon the contg^t, by plnoing tljo R<'sorven at 
 the dispoejd of Hi* Majesty, or, in other words, by reuniting thorn in 
 the Crown.

 This proposition I explained to. Mr. Hagcrinan, who brought it for- 
 ward in the House of Assembly, advocated it mojst ably, and failed in 
 carrying it only by one vote.; i 
 
 "':"■■ . .. ,: ■ '"'■':■''■-■■■'■ ■ * 
 
 .The great discussion having thus failed, it Vvas therefore abandoned 
 mdeftpair by all parties; but a memorial wjis addressed to the House 
 of Assembly, by the Ministers, Elders' and CongregatioK of Lancaster, 
 in conne>^on with the "Church of Scotlau'd, complaining that "there 
 appeared to have been an organized system pursued by the different 
 Pro\-incial Administrations^of thwarting them in the attaiument of their 
 
 'just aiid legal rights;" that tlw endowin<jnt of the fifty-seven ItoctoiieS •; 
 was "unjust, illegal, and Uticonstitutionid;" and "that' your memo* 
 rialists com|)Iaii^especially of the jpower which the Act under Vshich 
 
 "Beptori«r have been .established^ gives to the Chiirch of England of 
 lording It over our consciences, and exercising a spiritual tyraimy over ' 
 ufl, to which, as conscientioasly attachetl to thekdoctrine, diseiphue, and 
 worship of, the Presbyterian Church, we cannot submit." * ' 
 
 /It was impossible for any ope acqukinted with the religious foelings ' ^ 
 y^hich existed at that i^oment in the House, of Assembly, to read the 
 /language of this petition, without foretelling that it would be pro<luctive » 
 of a violent religious 'debate, and accordingly, as soon as the subject was 
 broach^ the conflict began. Sometimes the Scotch got upjK'rmost, 
 Bometimes the English ; but what Mas ejaculated by either, I believe no 
 roan living can declare. • However, it ha^>pened that Mr. Mackenzie^ 
 nevyspaper came out the next day, and as he is not only a Scotchman 
 but otie of Mr. Hagerraan's mtterest enemies, yoUr Lordi^hin may ejisily i 
 
 conceive, that Mr. Hagerman*s speech' Uma purposely and mischievously * 
 HMde as offensive as poeaible to the Scotch.

 Tho Ilonso of Asis^nibly of Upper Canada, ns appears from their 
 
 Joumnirt of the Olh February, I8;J7, adopttvl a HOl'ies of Hosolutions 
 
 relative to thewi Endowments of whieh the sixth deelarisi, "That this 
 
 HoUM) reganU aa inviolable the liglitH anpiired imderlhe patents by 
 
 which Rectories have Uhjii endowed, and eiiiHiot, therefore, either fnvito • ' 
 
 orsanction any interference with the rights thus esbibllnlHil." On tho - . :' 
 
 part of Her Majesty's Exticutiye Cfovernment, I oannOt htfsitate to nvovy , , J , • 
 
 our entire adoption of tho principle by whieh this Resolution waa 
 
 dictated. Although the Endowments of the Re<-toric^ in theyearl83d 
 
 did not take place with tho previous concurrence or knowledge df tlie ^ ^r>^ - - 
 
 present Ministers of thef Crown, yet, as tliey appear to have been inado 
 
 at least under a presiiined authority from tho Secretary of State, and as ...L 
 
 considerable time hfls now elapsed since the parties were put in (lossefl* 
 
 sion of tlie Lands, I should much regret to l>6 comjxjlled to dlsftirb that .; 
 
 settlement, orto dispossess the Clergy of|,ho Church of Enginfidofthe . , 
 
 Lands which have been assgined for i^ir maintetiance. :•,.., 
 
 ' ■ ■ /' , ' , ■ ■ 
 
 Should the legal right now appear to the Law Officers of the Crown 
 
 to be indefeasible^ no practical question will, of course, remain for the 
 
 decisidnof the Oovernment; but, even on tlia contrary supposition, I 
 
 feel that, with the cohcurre^cei of tlie Local Legislature, the Endow- 
 
 "iQentrwbic^ have actually^be^matle mights naifie(rm~opDnexion^

 on my advice by H* late Maj(*ty for providing for the religious 
 instruction of the irilwibitantMof tlieAu><tralian Colonics. I do ntitiicra 
 enter into the dotaib of Uint measure, with wliieh you ar6 iuteady 
 famihar, but I conflne myself to the statement that the gHUoral pr|m'i- 
 pie of it is, that the contributions of tli^ State towards the nupLrtt of 
 the different Christian communions shouid be regulated by Uiejettont 
 of the voluntary cttbrtii which the Munibers of each slwmld make forth* 
 promotion of the same general end. Of the SHCceHs of that plan Jt^ New ' 
 Bouth Wales. I have th^ most Kutisfactory probfs. The rexult jh that 
 Colony, even during the short period which has elapsed since the pro^, 
 visions of this meiisuro have been in operation, has been grcktly to 
 increase the spontaneous, exertion»;of the various denominations of 
 Christians, the number of Ministers, and the tueans applicable! to the 
 general diffusion of Christian instruction. If the Clergy Ries^rvcs of 
 Upper Canada shouid be converted into a fund subject to a | similar 
 appropriation, I perceive no reason to doubt of a corresponding tet^ult. 
 If, by the adoption of this scheme, with any modificatiot s wlMth the 
 knowledge possessed tSy the Local Legislature of thecinnmstHnccs of 
 the Province, and t^e comparative numbers of the religions dehoijiina* ■ 
 tiona eiisting in it, may suggwt, cbricortl mA a* mutiill good 
 understanding could be restoi^ Amongst the diffWcnt (Thristian 
 societies existing in Upper Canada, an object pf the highest imtxtrtanco 
 
 would be attaiued.__ We should hav closed a controversy hofitUeio tho—

 GOVERNOR SIR GEORGE ARTHUR, K.C.H. wro^'XriSur. 
 
 Downino-Strket, 29th December, 1837. 
 
 Si',— I have laid befoft Lord Glen Ig your letter of the 25th instant, 
 transmitting a memorandum on the subject of the Clergy Reserves in - 
 Upper Canada, for his Lordship's consideration^ and I am to inform 
 you in reply, that Her Majesty's Government, s^ar as the adjustment 
 of this question depends on them, would willingly concur in any set- 
 tlement of it which the two branches of the Provincial Legislature 
 might concur in adopting as best calculated to promote the interest of 
 xeliipon and education in the Province. Should the satisfactory ailjust- 
 ment of it be facilitated as you anticipate, by securing to each commu- 
 nion the full extent of aid which is at present afforded to it, Her Ma- 
 jesty's Government would not entertain the sBghtest objection to such 
 an arrangement On the other hand. Lord Glenelg would distinctly 
 disclaim, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, the Wish Or th< 
 intention to insist on ai^ such condition as an indispensable prelinu 
 nary to an adjustment of the question; such an interference oKthtf^ 
 
 . partof the Government with the functions of the Provincial Legiyat]u4, 
 
 woirfd, as his Lordship apprehends, tend to create a not un^s^ble 
 
 ^ suspicion of the sincerity with which the Le^lature hav&^p^vited 
 
 , to the exercise of the power reserved to them on this subj^t ^/the Con- 
 BtitutionalsAct of 1791 ; nor could any conclusive reas^. be assigned for 
 insisting on the oontinuwice to each communion ofUie^wecise payment 
 at present recaved by it, the respective amouut^mc^K^d by the several 
 
 communions

 aid Lord^'Glenelg further directs me to oUwrye, with inference to your^^ *• *'"* 
 lemark, that '*it is doubtful what the claims of the Church of Scotland 
 may be on the Reserves," that a decided opinion was giveh by the Law 
 Officers of the Crown in Ais country in 1819, in favour of tbe rigUof 
 the Church of Scotland to participate in the proceeds of these Reserves^ 
 and that, in accordance with tliis opinion, this right has been distinctly 
 admitted by Lord Glenelg in a recent correspondence with membere of 
 that Church. On this sii^t I am to request that you will refer to 
 bis Lordship's despatch U> Sir Francis Head, of the 7th September, THo, 
 231, and ••> the enclosures contained in it. Lord Glenelg has no doubt, 
 that by sucli an iurangement as that to which you have alluded, for the 
 disposal of tluLtSlergy Resierves and the investment of the proceeds of 
 ; the Side, a'^lH||» fund would be rendered available for the par« 
 poses of religiHH|petion and education, a result wbi<;h his Lordship 
 ettmeetly hoponitty at an early period be attained; and he entertains 
 ibe fullest coiifidenoe that no , exertion will be wanting^ on your part to 
 bring this matter to a conclusion, at onoe conducive to the best Into-

 Important and intereatfog Portion of Ilia DoniiniodI 
 
 The Lieutenant Governor, however, is given to understand, from th* 
 
 * Secretary of Suite, that the present Statutes refli)ecting the Appropri*- ; 
 i tion of tho Clergy Reserves grant a very Hmited discretionary Power to 
 
 His Majesty^ OovemjTnent, and that in case a llovision of them should 
 be deemed necessary, with a view to any Alteration in their Provisions, 
 I touch InforniiatioQ on that Subject in tdl its Bearings is required, and 
 will soon be obtained by His Majesty's Ministers. , 
 
 , The Lieutenant Governor has no doubt that it would be clieservedlj 
 a Subject of Regret to His Majesty's Government, if the Principles oa 
 which the University ia founded cannot be made to accord with the 
 general .Feeling and Opinion of those for whose Advantage it was 
 intended; and he believes tlut the first Chiange in the Charter which \ 
 should be recommended, and which would conduce nwre than any i 
 other to its becomii^ eminently Qseful to the .Province, is the connect- 
 ing the Royal Grammar School with King's CpUege, in such a Manner 
 that its Exhibitions, Schobrships, and Chief Support may depend od

 Tho question of amendment was- decided in the negativo by » 
 minority of twenty-four. • 
 
 In amendmentto the original motion.Mr. Attorney General, seconded 
 by Mr, Elliott, moves/ "That after the word 'Resolved' in the origmal 
 
 .vmotion,the wMe be expungeil, and tho following be inserted: 'That 
 His kte Majesty King George tho Third, 6f illustrious memory, was 
 graciously .pleased, by messages to both Houses of Parliament, in tho 
 thirty-firsit year of his reign, to express his royal desire that an appro- 
 
 - priation of kind -for the support and maintenance of a Protestant 
 Clergy, in "proportion to the lands already granted by His said 
 iate Majesty within this Province, and that such provision might be 
 made with respect to all future grants of land,ta might best conduce- 
 to the due and sufficient support and maintenance of a Protestant 
 Clergy within the said" Province, in proportion to such increase as 
 might "happen in the ppulation and cultivation thereof. 
 
 "That in accordance with the gracious intentions ^pressed ip the 
 uaidm^ssagb, both Houses of Parliament concurred ^^;ith His messager 
 in declaring by an Act passed in the thirty first year of His said 
 
 ■ Majesty's reigBi^that a proportion equal in value to one-seventh of the 
 - lands granted or to be granted by His said Majesty, his heirs or succes- 
 
 % sora, withirilthe said Province, should bo appropriated to the support 
 and maintenance of a Protestant Clergy within thesame. • 
 
 "That pr|)vi8ion was also made by the said Act for constituting and 
 ■■ erecting pareonages or rectories within the said Province according to 
 the establishment of the Church of England; and for endowing every 
 such parsomige or rectory with so much of the lamls so appropriated 
 as Spresaid is by the Executive Government bf this Province might 
 b« judged e4)edrent^'but no provision was made for appropriating any 
 part of the I^ towards the support of any other Protestant Clergy.

 that tixe whole of the said appropriation of lands directetl by the said 
 Act to be set ap^rt for the supiwrt and maintenance of a Protestant ^ 
 
 Clergy should be applied exclusively for the beri^fit of such of the 
 inhabitants as profess to belong to the Church of England, and for 
 ' ielieving them from the necessity of contributing to the support of their 
 own Clergy, while Others are left to make such necessary provision for - - - 
 the support of their t?lei^y out of their own priv||e means, or are driven 
 --to solicit voluntary contributions for the attainment of this primary 
 ohjectof all Christiaa convmunities;and that whatever might have been 
 the intention of Pariiament in making the said appropriation, it is er- 
 pedient that the- said act should be amended, and that it should be . . 
 explicitly declared that the term Protestant Clergy sHall be held to 
 embrace the clergy of such denominations as in England are called 
 dissenters, as we^'as the Clergy ordained according'to the rites and < 
 eeremonies of the es^blishment Church of Eingland and Ireland, and

 humbly to submit to your Majesty that by an Act of the Parliament of h. ik»i. , ^^ 
 Great Britain, 31 Goo. lU^ ono-wenth of tho lands of this Provmco 
 WM set apart for the support of a Protestant Clcrijy. . •;' .^ 
 
 Thai under that Act appropriations have from time to time been 
 made, and which apijfopriations are, in this Province, known by the 
 luimeofthe «• Clergy" Reserves:" That those npproprijitions having 
 been ^nerally inado in lots of two jiundred acres, throughout tho sevo- ; 
 
 ral Township* of this Province, the value of tho same has been much 
 • enhanced by the settlement of the country, and principally from tl^o 
 improvement of the lands in tho neighborhood of such appropriatfons ' 
 by the labour of inhabitants composed of various denominations of 
 Christians: That these Reserves being so interspersed witb tlieiandsof . ■ 
 
 actual settlers have materially retarded the improvement of the country ; 
 That by an Act passed in the reign of his lato most gracious Majesty 
 provision was made for the sale of a portion of tho said Resorves : That 
 it is unjust, as well as impolitic, to appropriate tho said lands to the 
 support of any one Church exclusively, and it is extremely^difflcult, if 
 not jjtogether impracticable, to apportion or divide the samo among " 
 Ae Clergy of all denominations of Protestants: That a large majority - 
 
 of the inhabitants of this Province are sincerely attached to your *., 
 
 Majesty's person and Government, but are.averse to tho establishment of 
 any exclusive or dominant Church: That this House feols confident, 
 that to promote the prosperity of this portion of your Majesty's domin- 
 ions, and to satisfy the earnest desire of tlie people of ttiis Province, 
 Tour Majesty will be graciously pleased to give the most favorable con- 
 sideration to the wishes of your faithful subjects: That to terminate the 
 jwdousy and dissension which have'hitherto existed on the subject of the 
 said Reserves, to remove a barrier to the settlement of the country, and 
 to provide a fund availsble for the promotion of Education, itf is extreme- 
 ly desirable that the said lands, so reserved, be sold, and the proceeds . 
 arising fiom the Mde of tlie same placed at the disposal of the Provin- ' 
 cial Legishitttre, to.t>c-&ppiied exclusively for that purpose. Wo there- 
 fore humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously ploaaod to re- : 
 commend to your Majesty's Pariiament of Great Britain and Ireland to 
 pass an Act to authorize the sale of tho Clirgy Reserves remaining

 Hia MajcBty coiiUl never couMUt to abandon tlioso intcroata ^i0x a view ^ ,

 It haa therefore been wtih jicciiliar xatisfactlon* that in the rMiUti of

 St which they might reasonably be expected totecomo more protiucr

 His Majesty has solid grounds Ifor entertaining tho hopo that befors 
 the arrival of that period it maAbo found practicable to afford tho 
 Clergy of those Churches such a reftsonablo and modorata provision as 
 may be necessary for enabling them fffoperly to tjischarge their sacred

 His Majesty, therefore, invites the Hbuse of Assembly «f Upper 
 Canada to consider how the powers given to the Provincial Legi^laturs

 JlawiutioMof Legislative Council on Clergy ReaeiveBitf: ' 
 
 iZMO?M«i— That his bta Majesty King George the Third, having 
 been giaciouslv pleased, by Message to both Houses of Parliament, to 
 ezpran his Boyal desire! to be enabled to make a permanent appro- 
 priation of hnds in this'Province for the support and maintenance of a 
 ProtestantClergy within the wme, provision was made for that purpose 
 by Parliament in the statute passed in the thirty-arst year of His ^ 
 tety's Reign, Chapter 31* by directing a reservation of hmds to be 
 mide and set apart in the proportion of ajl the lands that should be 
 fttanted by His Majesty in the said Province, and by declaring that aU 
 and every the rents; profits or emoluments which might at any tune 
 arise from sucOi lands so^aUotted and appropriated as aforesaid shqj^d\ 
 be appUed solely to the maintenance and support of a Protestant Cler- 
 gy within flie Province, and to no other use or pwrpose whatever. 
 
 Xesolved—Tbat toch aflotments and appropriations as the act 
 directs having been madefiom time to time, and continuing to be set 
 apart under the d^signaion of Clergy Reserves, a claim was advan- 
 ced m the year 1821, on behalf of the Church of Scofland, to be 
 allowed to sbire i^ those Reser\'es, or in the rents, profits or emolu- 
 ments to be dwived from them, which claim was made and has been 
 uroed upon the footing of a legal claim, grounded on the Cconstruction 
 of the statute, and on the rights of the^hmch of Scotland, as a Church 
 established m one part of the United Kingdom. J>^ 
 
 Resolved—that it W been advanced by other portions of the peo- 
 pie of this Province, that aU Protestant Denominations have a right, in 
 common witii the Church of England, to have their Clergy supported 
 from the Reserves in question, and that no.excluaivo right can be vindi- 
 cated under the act m favour of any one or more Protestant Churches.

 BMoiMM^Thtt t/SaniB h$m also been miide to procuTe a total aboli- manM or om

 the Provincial Legislature, directijkg the sale of the Reserves, and the 
 •pptopriation of ithe proceeds to purposes of general Educatioii. 
 
 Jietolved—Th»t by these conflicting claims and opposing views in 
 regard to a subject of so great interest and importance in the niiuds of 
 His Majesty's subjects in this Province have for a long iieriod boon ren- 
 dered anxious and unsettled; and in the opinion of the Leginlatiie 
 Council, it is for many reasons much to be desired that a speedy and 
 final settleroeat Bbpuld take place of the questions which ha\e rrisen 
 upon the effect of the enactm^ts referrjlBd tb, and that it should be 
 plainly, certainly, tmd firmly eetabli8hed to what specific objects the 
 Cieigy Reserves shall be permanently^plied; - ; -^ 
 
 Jietolvtd—Thai, the L^alativ e^BBj^ confiding in the wuidom 
 and justice of Hia Majesty and the mPPw^Parllament, think ,it expe- 
 dient and proper humbly to addre^' Hid Majesty and both ilouscs of 
 Parliament, repre.'-enting that the Legislature of this Piovincolias boon ' -, 
 
 unable to concur in any measure respecting the Clergy Reaervei^; a\id 
 earnestly requesting that the Imperial Parlianiient wUl, with as little 
 delay as possible, making such an enactment on the subject as cannot / .- ^ 
 
 appear to leave any reason for doubt or question in regard to the ob- ' ' , r~ 
 jects to which the proceeils of the Clergy Reserves are to be a]>]>lied; ' ; ; , 
 
 and tJiat, having ri^.u-il to the present Condition and future woHhre of 
 this colony, and mati*rely considering whatever has been urgtd or may te ' . ' 
 urged in regard to ^le^ Reserves, they tvill, by soine mcaRure .which ' 
 
 shall be final and unequivocal, make such an appropriation of them as 
 shall appear to be most consistent with a due regard to Religion, to the , 
 princijJes of our Constitution, and to the permanent welfare and tran- 
 quillity of the Province.

 invite the House of Assembly to coniilider how the powers given to the 
 Provincial Legislature, by the ooostitu^onail Act, to vary or repeal the W 
 provisions which it contains for the allotment and appropriation of the >

 That this House, in compliance with (ns Majesty's wishes^ thus - ^,.. ■

 to apply the monies arising from such sale to the^pport of education:. ' 
 That ' the LegisUthro Counoil baa not pa<ned'the said bill, has nqt

 astonishment with which it has recei\^ed tUe representations of ^le

 unable to concur in any measure: respecting the Clergy Reserves; and

 Tho Gommittoo to whicli was referred tho amendment? made bj 
 Honourayo tho Lcgi«lativ)? Council in and to tho Bill intituleil 
 Act for tho dispoHal of tho Clergy Reserves in this Province for tW 
 purjwgcs of general educalion," have agreed to and beg leave to mjiko 
 tho following Report: 
 
 Your Committee have examined tho amendments to the Bill aforesaid 
 made by tho Honourable th<i Legislative Council, and find th^t nothing 
 remains of the Bill m seht up from your Honourablo House but the 
 word "whereas." The preamble adopted by the Honourable the 
 Legislative Council coasists chiefly of extracts from the British Act 
 81»t Geo. liL Chap. 31. The enacting clauses adoptetl by tho 
 Honourable tho Legislative Council are few and short, and amount 
 merely to the repeal of certain portions of tho said 31st of George the 
 Third, ai)d to vesting in His Majesty certain of .the Clergy R^nes, 
 and als6 the money arising from those already sold or leased to bo 
 applied and apportioned for the purpose of supporting public worship 
 and religion in tliis Province, and tonootKec^use or purpose whatsoever. 
 
 Your Committee are fully impressed with the belief that public or 
 government grants to reh'gious sects or denominations are highly 
 objectionable. To bestow them partially upon one or more religious 
 bodies, to the exclusion of others of His Majesty's subjects would be 
 tinjust; to distribute them equally i»mong all would be impracticable; 
 and the application of public monies to such purposes is, in tho opinion

 of theao Ilo«ervt■^ your Commitleo would recommend that the amend- 
 menta to tho Uill be acceded to by your Hcinounible House, with 
 no other alteration than merely to direct the proceeds of the said 
 Reserves to be appropriated for the purpones of general c<lucatton in 
 such a way and manner as to enable all His Majesty's subjects in 
 this Province, of whatever creed or order, indiscriminately to participate 
 
 in the same. v 
 
 ■ . ' ■ . \ ■ • •■,■■... 
 
 Your Committoo cannot '■c|J|fe'*^fil" on this subject, from remark- . 
 
 ing on the late proceedings inVl^iml to the Clergy ReservoH, and the 
 disposal of tho proceeds arising therefrom, andlvhich (in their opinion) 
 ought immediately to engage the serious consideration of the 
 L^islaturQ. - ' . 
 
 ' It appears by a Return sent down to the House, that during the last 
 year no less than forty-four Parsonages or Rectories havo been oonsti- \ 
 
 tute<l, erected, and endowed with portions of the Clergy Rcser^'es, in 
 general varying from 400 to 800 acres, and ministers of the Church of 
 England have l»eea or are to bo preisentcd to tho same. 
 
 \ 
 
 It further apifchrs by Rotums, that up to the Slst of December, 1886, 
 there had" been paid into tho military chest, arising from sales pf Clergy 
 Reserve^ rising of £61,000, over and above the sum of hioro thaii 
 £4,000 paid as interest on the several Bales, besides the present rent 
 from certain portions of them already lcase<1, amounting to upwards of 
 £4,000 annually ; all of which appear to be exclusive of the expense 
 incurred in selling, collecting, tScc. . 
 
 It further appears that the Reverend Dr. Strachan received in the 
 year 1835 the sum of £300, for the purpose of aiding in the erection 
 of a Parsonage Hotise for himself, which ho has never used for that

 and fully authorized and empowfei-ed to issue the Patent in 
 question, and to establish tlie, Rc/ctory therein mentioned, and 
 to endow the same with thfe land^ contained in the said Patent. 
 
 2ttdly. Because the_ power to cbnstitute, erect, and endow the 
 
 has failed to establish the alleged mistake on the part qf His 
 Excellentjy, or hi^ Executive Council, on which the Patent in 
 ^^ question is impeached. <"'. 
 
 3rdly. Because the authority conferred on Sir John Colbornu 
 by His Majesty King George the Fonrth, to ei-toct and endow 
 the said Rectory, was an exercise of the powers vested in the

 i8Sjie4, recognized, and avowed, on behalf of the Crown and
