REPORT of the CoMHiuiONKB of iNQurRY into the Statb of EoioATioii in
LowtT Canada.
My Lord, Quebec. November i^, 1838.
In the initructions given in 1835 by Loid Olenelg to the Csnadian CummiHionen, hit
Lordthip, after pointing out the importance and the difficulty of their inquiry into the atafe of
aducation,cancladeaby obtenring, — "Thia n a taak, the due performance of which require*
to intimate an acquaintance with the character and wants of the people, that I doubt whe^
ther, within the time of your reaidence ia Canada, it will be poasibie for voa to be completely
prepared to form a deliberative concluaion over a question thus oomprmensive.'*
If any doubt could be entertained of the sufficiency for aucfa a purpose of the periiNi
which wu then contemplated by hia Lordship, but small rMults can reasonably be
expected from the labours of the commission with which I had the honour of being charged,
when it is borne in mind that they only commenced on the 1 at of AoEast, and closed in the
early part of the following November, and that the difficulties, mhxat were anticipated in
the case of the Canadian Commissioners, had been greatly aggravated by the political events
which intervened between the two periods. Had f been aware that my time and opporta-
nitiea ware to be so abridged, I should have entered upon the variona considerationa
involved in this extensive inquiry separately, and in the order suggested hv their import-
ance and connexion ; thereby enabling myself to rrport information, which, ifextending only
over part of the subject, would still have been complete as far as it went, and would to that
extent have furnished materials for immediate legislation. But anticipatin|| no interruption ;
imagining that the whole inquiry lay before me, and finding it so divided as to admit
of the aimuhaneoas labour of a variety of different parties, I thought ! should best econo-
mize my time by putting each of snob parties in possession, as early as possible, of the
nature of the information which I sought from them, and thus enabling every part of the
inquiry to be in progress at the same time. The doing this, however, in a convenient
form, and the nre<'ious necessity of making myself master of each point, were works of so
much labour, ttiai, by the time I was called upon to relinquish my task, 1 found that, though
every thing was set in truin, nothing had been completed.
1 nave nevertheless Hucceeded in eliciting some informatioii. ft is no doubt too scanty to
deserve the form nnd name of a report, and unfortanateN ita authenticity, even to the small
extent that it goes, stands unattested by the formal evidence of any witnesses, because,
although I was in daily communication with the leading authorities on this subject, hi
Quebec, I abstained from committing tlieir answers to paper till 1 should be in a position
to qnestion them upon all the points to which their information extended.
The subject of Canadian education naturally divides itself under two general heads :
the state in which it has been in former times, and now is, and that to which it is proposed
to raise it hereafter.
To the Catholic Church Canada is indebted for all its early scholastic endowments ;
indeed, with the exception of M'GiU's college, for all that at present exist The ample
estates and active benevolence of the Jesuits, of the semiiiaries of Montreal and Quebec,
and of various nunneries and their missions, were devoted to the education of the people.
It is impossible to pay too high a tribute to the merits of this most exemplary Church.
Its existence has ever been beneficially felt, and its career haa been marked throughout by
the most faithful discharge of ita sacred duties, and the most undeviatiBg allegiance to the
British Crown.
The Jesuits' estates, however, soon ceased to be available to the beneficent objects of
their grantors. The British Government, on the dissolution of tliat order, entered into
poBseasion; and, not content with diverting their proceeds from their original destination,
unfortunately adopted the mode of appropriation the most obnoxious possiole to that part
of tin population tor whose benefit they were first granted, and who were the most clamorous
for tbeir restitution.

t APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OP
(^•) Tht Ant piMoulof tb* OoftraiMnt wm to prtarat Uiam to Lord Ambont, bj my of
ooapraMtioii m hit nilitary MrricM in the Nduotion of Canada. Thia it at laogth aban-
dontd ; not, howerar, until aner a long itniggla, and afttr the grant had been aetualljr mad*
ont in (avonr of bia Lordship. Nor were uia French Canailiana alone in ibeir compUinta.
At the flrat aeeaion of the newljr-conatitutcd legiilatort, in 1791, a petition, aigned wholly or
is greater part by theinhabitenteof Britiah origin, waa preatntad to the House of AaaemUy
ftom the city and county of Quebec, aettinc forth the original deatinalion of the Jeauite'
eatatea, and showing, that, owing to their diversion, the provinee waa utterly williout the
ncani of education. An address to bia Majesty Geo. III., upon this petition, was unaoU
aiously adopted by the Assembly and transmitted to England, but no answer was received
till upon the preientetion of a similar address on the following year, the Governor infumcd
tliem, that, In cont«'qoence of the previous one, the cjaimi of the province had been con-
sidered by his Majesty in Council, and that the result of that consideration had been an
order to take possession of these estates fur the Crown. He concluded by suggesting, that
possibly any fcrilier applications on the subject might be inconsistent with the accustomed
respect of ine House of Assembly for the decision of his Majesty on matters connected
with his prerogative.
Accordinglv, the subject was dropped for tlie moment. However, as it was resumed
almost anoMUy from that period to the final surrender of the esute* to the Provincial
Legislature, in 1833, it will be more convenient to dispose at once of this part of the ques-
tion by presenting certain facts reported by a committee of the House of Assembly in that
last-mentioned year, in which the srievances, as fur as relates to the misappropriation of
thia fond, are bronglii together, ana, it would seem, fully substantiated.
It appears that, from the year 1800 to 1831, the grou receipta in respect of the estates
amounted to 49,000/.: of this 8,6jo/. odd were expended in tlicir management; 6aa/. in
pensions ; for unknown services (which in fact comprised an allowance to tlic then Attorney-
general for his expenses in going to Enghiud to oefend himself against the impeachment
of the House of Aasemblv^ 1,719/.; law expenses connected with M'Oill'a college, •
Protestant institution, 7801. ; the maintenance of a Protestant chaplain (autbortied in •
I despatch of Sir George Murray, dated ad June 1838, 084/.; building Protesunt charcbes,
^703/. There appears certainly an item of 13.389/. for the support of three schools ; but
It should be remarked that these were all wLai the Catholics looked upon as purely Proteo-
tant establishments, and were by them avoided as such. The EngUsb Government might
maintain that in these appropriations it merely exercised the right nrliich it undeniably poa-
I of doing what it liked with its own; but it cannot be matter cf surprise that the
Catholics of Canada should have felt discontenied, when they saw the great Catholic legacy
of their forefathers thus converted into a fond for the establishment ri a rival Church. At
length, after years of incessant struggling. Lord Goderich announced, in his despatch of
the 71b July 1831, the determination of the Crown to resign to the Colonial Legislature, for
the purposes of education exclusively, the Jesuits' estates(wiih the exception of the barracks,
nnd even these 00 condition of other* being built), and the then existing balance in raspcct
of them. His Lordship then goes on to mention, that two sums, theo«eof7,i«4/.odd, and
the other of 1,900/. odd, had lately been recovered from the estate of Mr. John Caldwell,
and directs that both shall be placed at the disposal of the Legislature, the former for general
purposes, and the lotier, with reference to principles previously noticed, for purposes of edu-
cation exclusively. The reason of this distinction is rather curious : it appears that tlie
two sums were recovered from different tsiates : on the former the Guvcrnmenl had claims
on the ground of Mr. J. L- 'well's default as receiver-general. These claims, however,
were posterior to those of sevt.al private individuals, and therefore were of no value. The prior
claim of .il was that of "the Jesuits' estate*," to which, for a debt incurred as their treuurer,
both properties bad bt«n mortgaged by Mr. J. Caldwell's father. The Crown accordingly
effected tne recovery by availing itself of its capacity of proprietor of the Jesuits' estates,
to sue Mr. J. Caldwell, as licir-at-luw to his father, lor this debt. As regards the amaller
properly, it never having come into Mr. J . CHldwell s hands, and not being, therefore, liable
ibr Qis default as rereiver-general. the claim of *' the Jesuits' estates" to the 1 ,30o/. recovered
out ofit was unopposed. However, there is really no distinction between these two claims
of the Jesuits' estates : both were equally good : the only difference is, that against the one
there were no pretensions to set up at all, and, against the other, none that had the slightest
•how of legal weight, both being founded on the same original debt.
Reverting to Lord Goderich's despatch, it must not be forgotten that the larger turn of
7,154/. was directed by his Lurdship to be placed at the disposal of the legislature for
general purpoaes.
A committee of the House of Assembly, by their report, dated 7th Febmary 183a. after
finding, among other things, that t th the above sums mentioned in Lord Goderich's
despatch were then in the hands of the receiver-general, conclude by recommending that
they shall both be canted to tlie account of the Jesuits' estates, 810. kc.
Accordingly, in pursuance of this report, and embodying every one of ite recommenda-
tions, ia paiaed the 3 Will. 4, -;. 41, whereby it is enacted, "That all the monies arising
out of the Jesuits' estates then in or that might thereafter come into the bands of the
receivcv-general, should be placed in a separate chest, &c., and aliould be applied to the
pnrpoiea of education exclusively." Now, it is clear that both sums in question did arise
out of th«i Jesuits' eatates, aiul that both were then in the hands of the receiver-general.

have been invariably miied with the other public revcaue, a leparata account only baiag

By thia account it appeara that tha balance on the loth October 1838 bad acounulatad

Aa reaardi the condition annexed lo the surrender of the Jetuita' barracbi, I fear it ia
nut capaula of fulfilment, I communicated with the miliury aulboriiica on the •ubjeci,
and waa informed that the Crown waa in poaaeaaion of no land within the walli, wnere
harraoka mutt be, enfficient for their tile ; and of court* it would be bad economy in the
province, with a view to getting back the lott property, to incur, first of all, the cxnenM
of purchasing land in the town already built upon, pulling down the buildings, and then
erecting new barracks, and afterwards that of^ pulling down the old ones and raising
more profitable buildings on their site. The most equitable arrangement, I should aubmil,
would be for the Crown to com* forward now and pay the proper market price for what
it bas so louK withheld.
A full description of these eslalea will be found, in a tabular form, in the Appendix to
this Report, (Letter A.), as also a minute criticism of their paat management, una sugscs-
tiona fur their future improvement. Tiiis has been the undivided labour of Mr. Dunlin,
the secretary to the commistion, to whose unremitting exertions in this and other depart-
meiits of the inquiry, not only during the continuance, but for tone months subsequent to
the expiration of the commiuion, 1 am indebted for much of the information 1 am able to
A»»««s(0^
ipply.
To ti
10 take up the c>rder of events where it was broken off, the hopes of the friends of
education in the province, which had been grievously disappointed by the Guvernor'a
recommendation in 1800 to abstain from any nirlher complainu, were fully revived by bia
announcing, in his speech uf the foljowinz year, the benevolent intentions of the imperial
Government. " With great satisfaction I bave to inform you, that his Maiekty, from hia
paternal regard for the welfare and prosperity of hia subjects of this colony, has been
graciouaW pleaaed to give directions for the establishing of a competent number of free
schools, tor the instruction of iheir children in the first rudiments of useful learning, and
in the English tongue, and also, as occasion may require, for foundations of a more
enlarged and comprehensive nature ; and his Majesty has been further pleaaed to signify
his royal intention, that a suitable proportion of the lands of the Crown snouid be set apart,
and the revenue thereof applied to such purposes."
The 41 Geo. 3, c. 17, an Act founded on these promises, «nd intituled, "An Act for
the establishment of Free Schools and the advancement of Ijearnine in the Province," was
immediately pta«sed. It will be found abstracted in Appendix, (Letter B.), No. i. The
following are its principal provisions.
The Governor is empowered to erect a corporation, to be called " The Roval Institution
fur the advancement of Learning," with all necessary powers for holding land in mortmain,
lie., to be composed of truitees to be appointed by the Governor. To this corporation
tb* entire management of all schools and institutions of royal foundation in the province,
aa well aa the adminisiraiion of all estates and property which may be appropriated to the
aaid achoolt, is committed. The sanction of the Governor is required to all rulaa and
■laiutea which may be made for the schuoU by the trustees, and for the government of
tb* masters and scholars. He may establish one or more free achoola in each parish or
township, aa he may see fit, upon the applicotion of the inhabitanU, or a majority of them,
to that effect, and he appoints tl-e masters, and ordera their salaries, after the conveyance
of lb* achool-huuse to ihe trustees, which is to be done immediately upon their com-
pletion; the expense of the erection of the houses to bu equally apportioned among tb*
inhabitants.
In 1803 the proiniied grnnte of land, by which the contemplated schools were to b«
supported, never having been made, the Executive Council recommended to the Governor
that 16 townships of the waste lands of the Crown should be appropriated for this purpose,
in answer to this recommendation, the provicce received the same year an assurance ^bat
20,000 acres should be grunted to each uf the cities of Quebec and Montreal for the support
of H seminary, and that iiuniediate steps should be tuken in the matter. These steps, how-
ever, never were taken, the grants of land never made, and the Act of 1801 remained a
dead letter.
Complaints of this bad faiih have never ceased. In answer to one of them, at late at
1831, Lord Goderich, after admitting that grants of land had been promised by the Crown,
adds, " that of course such promises ore binding and must be carried into effect, unless
there are circumstances, uf which he was not then apprized, which might have cancelled the

•inco which it waa never heard of. A siaiihir laie atiaoded two timilar Bills the two fbl>
lowing yean.
Up to tl)ii period tbe eorporatian oontcniphticd by the 4t Geo. j, havinc never been
etecled, leMen patent were issued for that pnrpoae in October 1B18. Ine Protestant
Bishop of Quebec was naascd tbe principal or the institution, and oeruin other tmsteee
from inne to time appointed to act with him.
Otcat stresa has been laid apon tho two following rales, which are among tbe first they made>
as indicative of the liberal spirit in which ibey entered on their doiiesi "That every school
should' be placed under ihe immediate inspection of tbe clerijy of ih« religion professed by
the inhabiianie of the spot, and that, where ihey might be of different persnaaiona, tbo
^lergy of each church should have the superintendence of tlio cliildren-of their respective
Oommnniiies.'' "That a regular superintendence of the schools was assigned to visitors
named by tbe corporation (one or more to be ihe minister or ministers of the parish or town*
slupX «ho were to report to them every six months the number and brogreu of the scholaia,
the eonduct of tbe maaiei^ and generally on the slate of ibe schools."
The instilolion entered upon the managtmeot of all the ibea existing schools sappoMod
by Oovemmenti and continued from year to year, but very slowly, to augment their num-
ber. This remained the sole legisbiive provision for education up to the year i8fl4. It
wilt be perhaps better again to breali in upon the tegular conrie of evenisb eod pmsae the
history of the Royal Institution lo its end, disencumbering it from the other syeteaM
which «eic for some years co-existent with it, and by wbicb it was finally absorbed.
Tliat it failed eniirtly is admitted on all bands, and there is no disa g reement aa to Aa
immediate cause of I'ailure^ nanaely, its anpopularity with the Preach Canadians and the
Catholic Church. This uopapularily was founded on the exclusively British and Pmtssl
ant chsvaetcr by which, it was aMcrted, its organiaation and mnnagemeat were disiia-
guished. A committee of the House of Assembly, appointed in i8a4 to inquire into iia
operation, reported, among other things, that, out of I'd ao trustees, ooly five, and only
aa oat of its 81 sciiool visitors, were Canadians, la spiw of the apparent Miemliiy of tho
rules, this constitution of the authorities, by whom tney were to be cariiad into eJKsct,
inspired such jealousies, and so oiTended llie religious and uatiooai antipathies of the Oann*
diaas, that the^ withdrew their confidence from the insiitulion, and rarely applied for
sclioola under lU direction. And, indeed, this wns a natural enough result. Suppose tbe
proportions of the members of the corporation and of the visitors, as regards tneir an*
linnal wigin, had beeu reversed, and that the Catholic bishop bad been placed at ite
bead, wina would have been tlie popularity ot° such on institution with the Piwieslantaand
ibeBcitiah?
In the townships the system natarally worked better, and ifae demand for acbaoia ma
propertioaately great.
In iSsy ao attempt was made to divide the board of tbe inslilntioa into two cam-
mitieca,. composed oi^ aa etjaal number of members, and possessing equal privileges i the
new one to be entirely Catholic, under the presidency of the Catholic bishop, aadto have
tbe eacbisive manngement of all Catholic actiools. After the Iteo parties had with eomc
dtfikaky been brought to acquiesce in this arrangement, it was discovered that these sscre
some legal impedimenu in tlie way of carrying it into eflect, and a Bill for ihe repeal
of a^ich parts of the 41 George 3, as inierpoMd these iiupetiiwenis, was suggcstea by

the hbriqaes were loo poor, and in most, 1 have been auaicd, the t itenee of the Act was
unknown. Like that establitiMd under ibe Royal Institotion, t|j« , 'Mijue school*syitcm

esiablislied. The irst of these^ whioi forms a remarkable epodi in the history cil Ci..,.ijian
education, was established by ibe 9 Geo. a, c. 46. It will be observed that all the abortive
Btieropu made from 1818 up to this period, as well at ilif Am 'if 1 834, had alone ia view the
wants of the French Canadians, wliich were virtually uniouclitfii I ilic Royal ksstitatioa,
and which uadeaiably called for uigent relief. J', it Hue, ihai, m regards iLf «|N»i^, at

tually on chariubk eadowmeott, which were only to be expected from tiie greater weallli
and seal of the Cathotio Church.
Imperfect aa the provisions of these Bills were for the erection of any thiag appeoaohing
a souad aad general system tA edacatioo, no fault can be found with the spim in which
lliey were devised by tne Assembly. It appears 10 have been one ol luimess and sincerity,
and liable to none of ilic impuuiions which attach to simikr proceedings of that body in
later times.
By ilie Act of 1849 the establishment and sok management of schook in their respective
parishes and townships was coniided to five Irutteet, elected by the resident landboMeis
eligible lo vole at emetions. These trustees were empowered to hold property belonging to
the school, and to receive benefactions. Half the expense of erectiog scnooNhomes, ifnot
above 50/., is to be advaaued from the public chest on the oeriiicate cl the trustees.
A salary of aoi. is to be ffiven to every master teaching tio popik, and a lariher allow*

Under tin Act, which am tt he in force for three years, there was no provisioa for vkita-

The Uuttees, '^ho in very few instances could write themselves, as is proved by the almoat
invariable use oi larks instead ol tigaatores in their returns, had the power of appointing
and removine tb. matters ; in short, ihe entire control of the tehoolt. It is true that they
were required ic> utakc annual reiu m to the legitktore ; but then nothing was more easy,

into them, the natter being vary ficquenily in theii debt, and, at they w«tl knew, having no
other meaus of paving them.
In >,83o«nd 1831, two other Acta were paiaed, alightly amending and explaining the
proviaiena of that of iSsg. B« the latter, tlie Govemur «ra« empowered to appoint 19
vieitora, who with the membcrk of the Haute of Aiuembly reaident in the country, and the
l«t*«lent rector wr cw9te of the paritb, were to divide the country into tchool diairicii, vitit
the icboolt annually, and report their ttate to the legitlature^ with any rccommendationa
(he* might be diapoaed to make.
Schoola roae rapidly under the Act of 1899. In that year 48 houtea were bnilt, nnde^ iia
proviaiont, end 3H1 ichooia received the Government allowance. In 1830, 60 more hooaec
were beilt, nnd the number of elenieniary achoolt increaaed to 899. In )8d9, the whole
coat of education to the province wai 13,785/. i6*.3</., including, in addition to the
expenteaof the elementary tchoola, a,ii5Z io<. for the 84 under Uie Royal Inttituiion,
•nd 5,sso/. 3«. for ipecial grantii. In 1830^ the grota amount under thete aame heada
waa incrteacd to 20,019/., and >n 1831, the whole nnmber of elementary achoob waa
i,ai6, ami the whole cott of educatica 33,470/.
U ia time here to explain the meaning of thete tpecial grantt. The general educa«
tionel Acta which have ben noticed were meant to embrace only the elementary tchoola
in the rural diatricta. Many of thoae, originally ettabliihed by voluntary attociationa in
the three townt of Montreal, Quebec, and Three Rivera, at well at tundry tuperior aca-
demiet and colleget, ditpened over variout pant of the province, were the tubjecit of
arparate annual appropriatioiit. The firtt of liiete wat in 1833, when 30o/. wat granted
to • tcliool in Quebec under the management of the Education Society in that town. In
.the fpllowing year there wat only thit tame grant. In 1835, a like aum was alto g[iven to
'.ibe.Brilith^ Canadian achoot at Montreal. Every tnbkequent year freah inttitutiona
received timilar aid. and the grantt under thit head nave been thown, in 1830, to have
tncrea'icd to 5,350/. 3a.
It 1831, toe Hottte of Aticmbly appointed a ttanding committee of 1 1 membera (five
|o lie a quorum), to report from time to time on all tubjcctt connected with education.
'fhe Act of 1839 having expired in May 1839, the a Will, 4, c. 36, waa patted for
tjbfi continuance of the tyitem for two more yeart. Before noticing the peculiar provi*
ai'ioa by which thia Act it diaiin^uithed from ilt p^edecettort, it wiU be proper to advert
Ift the reatoot uiven for turh duliuction by the Education 0>mmiltee. In 1831, they
leport, " that they cannot but regret that tliey have had evidence that in teveral inttanoea
too much dependence hat bnen puced en le^itlaiive aidt, and. iu tome caaet, to a degree
which tecmt to have had the effect of relaxing the exertiont which wera formerly made.
Your committee cannot too ttrongly imprest upon the Houte the mitchieft whicn would
recult from tuch a dependence, andf placing the public money in the handt of aooietiea or
individuala practically iiable to notumcieni retpouKibility, or regular or itrict accouniabiliiy,
nnlcw they at the tame time have to apply a contiderable portion of their own money
■ktog with that of the public."
Ine tame committee, remonttratins againtt large legitlative |(ranit, dwellt on <* the
■bntet and corruption which uniformly attend the iaviJh expenditure of public money.
Education ittelf toiera iu the ettimatiun of the public; iaits idcat ara tpraid abroad
among the people, that education it rather an ottject which concerut the community
tlian uiemaelvea individually, and it it undervalued, while in reality it it become neivly
at nfredful in the present 6taie of iliingt in thit province na reiigiout inttruction, or
iottruciion in the meant of gaining un honett livelihood, for which it it the bounden duty
of every head of a family 10 provide to the utmost of his power. To draw the money
from the iteople by taxes, to be restored to them for these purpoaes, after underfoing all
the dim.nution of the expenses of collection, management and waste, would toon im«
poverith them without effecting the object in view."
In 183a the Committee report, that ihe increasing applicationi for public money render
^rtain regulations necetsary, and aa warning to the public that lest reliance than thereto-
fort! mutt be phu.-ed in aida from the general funds, and more from the luoalitiea immc*
diately interetted; and that, for thete reatont, it it drtirable, itt, to grant no new allow*
ancet, except on the mott urgent grounds, but rather to diminitii those already granted)
and, tc) conliue aids for elementary instruction in the towns, as much aa possible, to one
elementary tchool connected in some degree with one of each of the principal raligiona
deiMMiinaiions, whtre all ihe poorer classes may have easy admission. It goea on *' to
regret that the applications during that seaiion were nearly as numerous and great in
amount as in the previous one. The extraordinary etforis which were made oy the
legislature under the unlorlunaie slate of ihingt which had to long retarded education in
ihe province, and in a prosperous siaie of the public funda, have widely spread abroad the
^itea that the ex|)eiuet ut the education of youth were to bu defiaycd out of the public
revenue ;

rtvcone ( ud the sbuMii conteqaent thereon have, no doubt, in Mine imtaneea, nude

the pnblio fendt, however, will fdrce t retnm to nnire cmnect notiom md praetice. Your
cofflmitiee cannot conceive th»: \* will ever be expedient to drtw money from the indrntiy
of the people, by an eipeniive proceu, to be returned to them in greatly dlminitbra
amount, for object* for which they can apply it uioiC certainly, more equitably, and with
greater eeoaomy, under their own immcaiate conlroi."
In tbi« kcport the committee remark, that the proportion of children aitendinft Mhool in
Lower Canada is one iu is; trherm, in the neiulibouring iiate of New York, it it one in
frier. By the • Will. 4, e. s6, founded on this laiier report, isai ditt^icta were adopted
■• laid ttut by the vititon appointed the preceding year.
To a aohuol in each of theae dittricts, and alto to a separate girls' school in that district
in evert Roman Catholic parish in which the church was situated, an allowance was sivett
of ao/. per annum, provided that no more than 9 1. per month was demanded mm
each scholar, and that so scholars, from 5 to 15 years of age, had been in regular atttndanoe
for igo daya la the year. Ten sbillinn were to be distributed yearly, as piiie-moncy, among
the best toholars m each school, by the first resident memlier for the county, on the
return ; otherwise by the non-resident one. The manaBement of the schools was intruatcd
to tmstees, as in the Act of 1839. The teacher, before appointment, must produce a
ticrtiicate^ signed by the minister of the moit nameroui religious denomii»tion in the
parish, according to the latest centut, and by one justice of the peace, and the militia
officer of higbcat grade in the panth, or by two others, that he is known as of good
character, and that he has been exaraioed by them, and found capable of tnching reading,
writing and arithmetic, in the language of the majority of the inhabitants. He mig^t be
removed, either on the representation of a mnjority of the county visitors, or, after hearing,
by the trustees, on the complaint of iliree electors. A public examination waa to be held
yearly, and three at least of tne vistion were to make an inspection of the tchool, which they
were to certify, aa directed by a schedule annexed to the Act. No more than 10 flree
scholars were to be admitted to any one school, and then only when their parenta had
another child at school, for whom they paid. The visitors were to be the legislative «Ma-
cilkMS resident in the county ; its memoers in the House of Atsembly, whether rietident
or not; the senior acting justice of the peace, the militia officer of highest rank, and' the
minister of the most numerous religious denomination. These visitors, in addition to the
duties before mentiimed, were to determine all questions relating to diatricting and buihllng
houses, tic, and tliey alone were to have their expenses paid.
The schools of the Royal Institution were embraced in this Act.
The other most remaraable alteratiuns introduced by it consisted in the additional power*
which it vested in the members of the House of Assembly. They were to have the dis*
tribotion of the ids. prise-money ; indeed the whole powers of visitanon may bt; said to have
eenited in them, because their political importance geneMlly enabled them to do as they
chose with thoae of tlieir co-viaitor* who retided in the parish, and because the members
of the Legislative Council were few in number, and rarely fulfilled the condition of resi-
dence in the county. Complaints were frequently made of the improper applieatloo of
the prixe-money entrusted for distribution to the M. P. Pt.
A writer of no small merit, in an article addressed to the " Populaire," Canadian news-
paper, and signed, L. P. R. Inttituteur, remarks : " Sur ce sujet je pui* dire i la honte de
ceux it qui il appartieni, que bien det 6coles out M privies de cette gratification. Moi-
m£me, je me luit oblige d'^crire a un repr^seniant du etmitfe de Berthier pour Ini

qu'il y avait deux semestres que les visiieurt de noire paroiste n'avaient rien donn4 pour

od je tenais I'icole ; que si ce dernier ne I'avait pas distribu^, il y nvait mauvaise foi de la
partoe cet individu. Alors je die & I'un de mes sindics d'aller trouver I'individu en question,
et de lui d^manderles r^mpences des enfans ; qu'avec ce pen d'ar|eni les enfans se poiir-
raient acheter des livres, du papier, et d'autret chotes neceasaires pour I'^cde. En
y nllant il ref ut 4 peu pr^s la r^uonie tuivante : " Je gorde dit le visiteur cet argent pour

as those before referred to. They sute. " that the liberality of the legislataret for froaa

demwsds made by the mhabiianu in muny places fot new school districts. " These appliea-
iioos," they say, " do not, generally spoking, coma from places which appear by their
popabtien to m entitled to a greater number than thut now allowed them ; bat, on the con-
trary, from places where the proportion of the number of school districto is four tiaws

which there are only lliree f&milies, witi be aufficieat to satisfy year honoarabk Heaae ef
the aeceisity of examining applications of litis nature with tw moat scrupalousatteation.
Year committee have come to ihe determination to lecommend, that for the faiaie the
numlcrof school districts in ecch county be regulated by its population.'' Il appears froaa
these leportt that the cost of education in the three preceding veara had been as liallows :— •
la 1833, 93,154^. ; in 1834, 94,543/.; in 1835, a^Sioi. In the kst year thetc were i,ao2
schools and 38,377 children in auendacce, of wlioin 14,048 were gmiuiionsly iasirucied,
and 34,339 paid, or prodetaed to pey, at the rate presoribed by law. Hie committee, aftes
oomawaiing upon tne universal incompetency ol schoolmasters, &C., conclude by recom-
mending two Bills; the one for the esiablishmeot of Normal schools, and the other fur the
coniinnaace of ibe general elenieniary system. The fint of tljese became law, (6 Will. 4,
e. I*. — Sm Absiraci, Appendix, (B. is.)
It provided for the establishment and support, for five years, of two Normal schools, oae
at Quebec and the otiier at Montreal, to be under the management of a committee of 10
persons in each city ; each commitlee was allowed 400/., to enable it to procure profesaors,
and purchase books and apparatus ; 600/. per annuui, fur tive years, for salaries for such pn>>
fesaora, and asoA per annum, for a like peiiod, tor ilie contingent expenses of tlie schools.
A further yearly sum of 1 2ot. was granted to each, for three years, for the maintenance and
tuition of live ur more poor schoolmasters desirous of cnmpieiing themselves in the art of
leaching : and a like sum was granted, for the like period, to the Ursuline Nuns of Qaebeo
and Three Rivers, and the Soeurs de la Congregation de Notre Dame at Montreal, for
the maintenance and tuition of five poor young females willing tu devote themselves to
teaching. The schools were to be open only to persons above 14, who wouM give good
security that they would accept eniployineni fur five years after leaving the Normal school
in some superior of elementary insututions in the province, ander penalty of refanding ta
the committees all the expenses of tlieir tuition, Jcc. ; and to ichuolmasten seeking to
perfect themselves in the art of teiching. A course of studies was prescribed, such aa is
adapted at similar establishmeuis in Europe, and was to extend over a petiod ofthreo
yean. A pupil, afier having obtained a certibcatc of fitness, lie. was entitled to preference
in empioyment at schools receiviag legislative ass^tance. This five years were to begin to
run ftom the date of ilie establishment of the schools in tlie respective cities. Bulk cooi-
mittees immediately united in sending to Europe, fiw the purpose of procuring p r e fass ora

Jfo aticapt haa yet been made to organiie the ichool at Qnebeo. Mr. Iloimet brought
back with Ma tone very valuable apparatus and a large collection of book*, which are now
in oharge of the eeaunittee. The reaaon of the failure of this act it obvioui. The other
Bill, which was puMcd by the Houie of Auembiy at the tame time, having been rejected by
the CoMwii, the whole lyitem of elementarv education fell to the erouud. and penoaa
oonld hardly hefimnd willing to throw away tlirce years at these normal schools, and pledge
thearteivaa to be ready to teach ibr five more, when there were no schools in existence tor
them to teaeh in, «>ud really a very poor prospect of any ever being established. At the
■ame time the Act had great merits; ft sought to remedy, and by proviaions very snitahta
as hi as they went, one of the greatest vires in the existing system. It, nevertheless, was
of conne the subject of bitter attadc in a province where the merits ot measures are no
security against attack.
The Bill of 1836, which, as I havejnit said, was thrown out by the Council, proposed to
raise the number of sdiooi districts to i ,658, and to grant far greater powers as regarded the
management of sehools to members of th« House of Assembnr. The only other novel fea«
tares in it art, let, the establhihmcnt of a superior or model school, in every parish or
township^ whcve the nopulation, according to the laat census, exceeded 500 souls, to the
master of which an allowance was to be made of 50/. per annum, upon the m^ority of the
beads of femiliea, at a meetingdulv called, having voted a further sum of not less than aoL,
so as to raise his salary to 70 f. He was required, in addition to reading, writing and arith*
metic, to teadi the grammar of the language of the minority of the iuhabiunu, and the
dements of mensuration and geography, particularly inat of North America, adly, the
provision by which it empoweivd, flioon it did not compel, the majority of the inhabitanta
to tax the district for further support or iu schools. The grounds on which the Council
rejected this Bill are so folly and so ably stated in their report, that I cannot do better than
give their own words. Alter reviewing the provisions made for education in past years
by the legitlaiure, and pointing out their numerous faults as emphatically and oftentimes
admitted in the reporta of the other House, they proceed :— " Your committee beg leav*
to stale, that, notwithstanding the foregoin|( repjris of the special committee of the
Honse of AatenMy on education, concumd in by that honourable House, the number of .
school districts is by this Bill considerably augmented, and the public cxpenditura for this
ol^ecl, which ha* drendy reached the amount of 150,000!., is very greatly increased; •*
nearly 40,000/. will i>e required annudly, for four years ensuing, to cover the appmpriations
sprcmed tbenin. Your committee, while expressing their concurrence in the propriety
of assisting education in its progress, at the same time fully coincide with tlie general
tenor of the reports above alluded tu, that its support by tlie people themselves would be
more effectual in its results than under the present system of lavish expenditure, which,
even for so dednble an end, will ultimately lead to apathy and indifference.
** That the system of management proposed to be continued, and in some points extended,
by this Bill, must lead to consequences which your committee cannot but regard as pro-
ductive of evil. The direction and auperintendence of the sums appropriated by this Bill
ara introsied, in effect, to the county members of the House of Assembly. Ihis |K>wer
your committee consider to be an object of extreme importance for good or for evil, m
the persons in whose hands it is placed may be influenced, on the one hand, by a pura
sense of doty, or, on the other, by the opinion or feeling of party, or by other improper
motives. Your committee think it necessary to point out the powers contained in this
Bill, upon which they found their apprehensions that some abuses may result from its
operation:
" First. The certificate of the trustees, by means of which die sdioolmaster is to be paid,
is to be transmitted to the county member. Second. The certificate of the qndificatiun
of mmten of the superior schools, by means of which they receive their sdaries, is to be
transmitted likewise to him. Third. The county member is to make the pay-list of the
county sdioola and masters, by means of which the masters' salaries are to be paid by the
receiver-general. Fourth. All alterations in the school districi* are subject to the approval
of the county members, or may in some cases, as provided by this Bill, be made by them
of their own authority. Fifth. Large aums of money are to be intrusted to them for dis-
trilHition, as rewards of excellence to scholars. Sixth. The county member is to demand,
recover and receive all sums of immey remaining unpaid from former appropriations, for
sums for priies, and (or this pnrpo«e may require the assistance of the law officers of the
Crown. Seventli. The elections of trustees of schools, by head* of families, are to be
transmitted to the county member. Eighth. They are not required to support by voucliers
their account of monies intrusted to them, as are other person*. Ninth. They are amout;
the number of school visitor*. Tenth. Finally, these powers of the county members shali,
in case of a dissolution of Parliament, continue to be vested in them until their successors
shall be elected, any law to the contrary notwithsundine.
" Your committee bdieve that vour honourable House will see in these provisions
suflkieni |rounds for the apprehension they have expressed, that abuses may result from
the operation of the measure. From the experience of past ages, as well as from the
appropriations made by this Bill, your committee apprehend that liberality may at last
degenerate into prodigality, and the object sought for be as far from atuii.oient as before.
Under those cirenmstancei, your committee suggest the propriety of suspending all
further appropriations until some general effective system of education can be judiciously
planned, and carefully executed, whereby the provincial revenue will be relieved from so

Independently of thew general oontidcntioot aleoting the meriie of the aieanrv, yooir
vonmittee ooooeive that there are others growing not of tha partieolar circanManeee
-of the finances of the province which demand their aoriom attention. They think it
wnBiwiiy to bring to lecoMeotioa a rcwhitiaa patted by vonr boooafaUe Hoaee on the
Ah of March lait, < That it was not expedient to concnr. cfnring the present scMion of the
■Prorincial Parlianwnt, in appiepriation of monies to a greater extent than will leave in tlie
{inblic cheat a sun eqoal to the discharge of the sum of 90,519!. 4a. ad., advanced
•■d paid oat of the fands of the United Kingdom, by his Majesty's order, for the support
of the govOTnment, and the adminisiration of jastwe thcrem, and to other aervants of
the Crown and individnals as therein mentioned* for which sums no appsopritiion or
provision has hitherto been made.
"That as your honourable House has already concurred in Acu for the appropriation
of nearly i«,ooo<. for the enconr^ienient of education in this proviaeo, that as no Act
providing for the sum of moaev mentioned in the preceding resolution has hitherto been
sent up by the House of Assembly for the oonourrenoe of this honourable House, and as
your committee conceive that the slate of tlie provincial revanoe (doe regard iMcing had to
tlie payment of the sum* above mentioned which remain nnprovided for) will' not warrant
the increased appropriation, your committaa urge onoii your hononmble House the pro-
priety of proceeding no further with the Bill intitaleo, tio."
It'is imposiUe not to recoitniae the truth of the greater part of these objections urged by
the Conncil. Although the 61II contained some new provisions of a very vahiable character,
yet all the radical faults of the old system were lefit uniotiohed by it, and some, namely,
tho«e pointed out by the Conncil, so aggravated, that the cause of education in the provmce
has, I am convinced, gained much more than it has lost by the rejection of the Bill and
the consequent breaking up of the whole system.
Since this period some few masters continued their schools, in the double hope of a new
Act being shortly passed, or of being supported by the voluntary coatributions of the inha-
Wtanis ; but bot£ these liopes were soon disappointed, and the sdiools, with very few excep-
tions, shut up. Thrown thus on tlie wide woild without resources, and In a time of such
excitement, the rebel standard attracted some to a cause which ended in their destructioo
«ir expatriation ; otiiers hove sncceeded in getting into new oocnpatioos, but very few are
to be found still adheriuft to the oM.
The schools, however, in the three towna of Qoebeo, Moatieal and Three Rivers, and the
academies and colleges, which had been the subiicts of special grants, oontinaed in oper»-
tion and received the usual auistance ai:der an Act passed by air John Colborne ana his
Special Council in the spring of 1838.
I will now conclude my observation on the past, by taking a general retrospect of the
different attempts at elementary education made by the legislature, and pointing out the
I ^causes which led to their iailure.
,y<^ ' The immediate cause of the failure of the schools under the Royal Institution was the
^ nnecasing hostiKiy of the Catholic Church and the French Canadians, on the ground that
they were essentially British and Protestant. The absence of every species of popular
control distinguished this system from those subsequently adopted by the Assembly. In
other respects it had the seme miserable imperfections.
The FaH-Jque Act can hardly be said ever to have fairly come into operation, and only
dese. <«s niMice as pointing out a fund in every Catholic parish, by which, in the opinion of
the French Canadians themselves, education can always be more or less assisted. Tlie
system patched op at different times by the Assemblv, into what was called the elementary
school system, was not merelv a vicious and imperrect one, but of late yenrs, especially,
pernicious in the extreme. It is obvious that it was mainly recommended to that body by
IIS vast utility as a political machine.
The annual distribution of such large sums ofmoney, and the exercise in other respecu
of such extensive patronage, were of course convenient to members ; but to the school
syiteui such an arrangement wos pregnant with mischief.
How startled we should be in England at a proposition to vest similar powers in our
House of Commons ! It would be regarded as almost equivalent to granting the exioting
members their seats during pleasure.
That the temptations to abuse thus offered wete not very strenuously resisted by the
House of Assembly in Lower Canada is more than insinuated by what is called the
British parly. Ky them the schoolmaster in the Catholic parishes is represented as inva-
riably ihe mosi active and accredited organ of tlie disaffiected ; and I have been aMured by
many a 'nessea that the " Minerve," an exciting and seditious paper, was in iVeqoent use in
the schools as a class-book. This laner assertion is, it may be iioped, unfounded. But^
with regard to the former, 1 have reason to believe that it is to a certain extent too true.
Certain it is, at any rate, that the qualification of loyalty, required of a master in the more
peaceabte days of the Bill of iSt4, was never Insisted npon in later bills. Another gwat
evil, to which this system wan subjected br its connexion with politics, WM iu want ofper''
manenc>\ Every nlletnate year it was liable to expire altogether, or undergo modifications,
which, as regarded those embarked in it, in many cases amoanied to expiration. The House
of Assembly knew well the power which they derived from their common habit of tempo-
rary legislation. It was no slight hold lo possess in the country, this, of continuing, «r at
any given time withholding, iis sole means ofeduoatitm. It \% true that it would be almost
ii^pOMible
NUMMMM

It
bnpoMibl* to oiikc • ijwteia ptrawMnt which was to be mpporttd entirelv bv IcgiihHw
^ranii, became the flmiiioM ot' a ooaDtij like Canada could not always aDora tuob large
expeoditare. Indeed, the expeaditeie waa not fixed, but waa liable to bo iacraaied to an
udefinit* aaaoaiit. This, however, inateod of being an argomcnt in favour of tempoeary
kgialation, thoald boone among many othen for iMkina oni MMne never-fiiiKng aowca of
■laintenaaoc by which edncatioa tbonld be rendered inckoeBdent of the wania or caprioaa
of the legMalnre. No mao of charaetcr or indnalrwut haoiu oonid be indvccd to abandoa
other Bore oeitaiB oorapationa to enbiaue that of ichoolmaiter, when he waa only certain
of t«N> year*' employment.
Another very pre||aant evil, o ommen to all Mich lystems, waa the miaemUa oharactat of
the inapMtion to which they were Mbject. The trnaicea who had the choice of ihe i
and virtually the entire management of the aehool, it hat been ahrcady shown, oonld them-
lelvca rarely write. Their principal reUtiou with him were thoae of debtor and i
'Ap|imdix(D;)
I creditor,
or of MIoi^paniaaiM in ptJitioa. ' If it were ever neacmary to deceive the viiitori, nothing
more easy. The daily ioornnk of attendance, which latterly the mauer waa obliged to
keep, wereeatily falsified to suit the i^jniictiont of the law, and nobody able or willing
to detect the falsehood. Tho day on wmch the vititors made their inspection the nulnber
of children was complete, and every thing appeared correou The great desideratum of
the master's political UNfulness being once proved, the visitors were good-hwnouredly
blind to trifling deficiencies in morals or capacity^ L. P. R. Institntcur, whom I have
before quoted, apcaking of these abasea, says,— ^' II y acn des sindics qui ne se sont pas
fait scmpules de prendre I'aiigent dea maEtres pour paver let fiais de lenrs Elections; oes
messieurs avaient lea honuaura, et les pauviet maitree d'^les payaient pour. Bnfin, il y
a eu des visiteara qui out fait avoir la paye & des personnes qui n'avaient pas eu d'^ooliers
pendant nn hiver. J'ea connoisune* qui rcfat lo/. du gouvernement malgti le rapport
de sea sindics, qui d6poseient qu'elle n'avnit paa en plus de sept 4 huit Pollers durant le
seiacitre, quoique le oiil; disposftt, que personne ne recevrait Vallocation sans qu'il eilt,
de boMc foi, instmit so papilles : cette peraonne re^t les lo L parce qu'elle 6tait dana l»
manohe du aati de la paroisse."
But the UKMt fertile souree of failure was in the inriiiercnt qualifications and characiers
of the mastera* 1 believe it may be fairly said, that a sclioolmaster s was the worst trade
in the country, and that nobody would embark in it who was qualified by character and
uaderstanding it»- anv other. " A common farm servant," says the Rev. Mr. Alexander,
of Leeds, innis evicfence before a commiltee of the Huuse of Assembly, in 1836, "is
allowed 15JL per annum for wages, and, in addition, washing, board and lodging. A
schoolmaster rarely geta more than so/, per annum, and none of tlie above-mentiotted
extras." it is trne that an additional payment of 2s. per month from each scholai was
contemplated by the legislature, but the poor master rarely got it ; parents either refused
the pavmeM altogether, or offered a titha of it, and, if be declined, had recouise to the
easy alteniBiive of removing their diildten fimm his school ; and it would not do for him
to break with too many children in this way, because he was obliged to have ao reguUc
popila to entitle him to the Government allowance. Accordingly, the master was frequently
on the brink of starvation, and always dependent on the good will of bis parishioners.
L. P. R. Insiituteur, says again, *' Le pen de respect qu on a pour les maitres vient
aussi en partie de ce qu'ils sunt obliges de lendre la main aux habitans, pour avoir de quoi
subsister d credit. Les habitaos s'habituent d les entendre su >|)lier, a demander; ils
viennent, enfin> k lea rebuler et 4 les rrgarder comme des utre 1 d^uourvus de touies
lessouroes pour vivre, ou, pour le dire en termes plus claires, comme des pauvies ncoes-
siteux, car avec nos habitans ceux des gene instruiis qui n'ont pa» de terre en pariage ne
sont gu^rc r^gardjb d'eux."
Nor waa the master'a incompetency the whole evil ; even when he was capable and
willing, there was no provision for supplying the children with books. Parents objected
strongly to the expense ; there was no other quarter to look to, and, consequently, many
children went to schools without books.
The indifference of parents waa at once the cause and the effect of some of these evils.
Here indeed was action and reaction. As long as they refused to contribute to the support
of schools, so long the sohoola were without competent masters, aud tlie cliildien without
a proper provision of books. And, again, while the schools were in such a deplorable
state, the parents did not see much advantage in supporting them, but thought their
children might be much more profitably employed at home. The fatal notion fully
possessed them that it was the duty of the legislature to supply them with the means of
education, and that they were conferring a favour in asceptitka suoli means.
Suoh^ then, have been the attempts at education hitherto made in Lower Canada ; and can
it excite wonder that this combination of imperfecticns and vices should have produced no
good result f— that education ahould have languished under systems, where tho m«st<.iJi wera
illiterate and needy ; the supervision careleaa and dishonest ; the schooUliouses unfit for occu-
pation, and ill-supplied with fuel ; the4slliydKn unprovided with books ; and parents utterly
mdifferent to an inatitotion of which they could not appreciate the importance, and the
trouble and cost of which, at all events, they deemed the province of tlie legislature i
I trust that I have not done iiynttiGe to the House of Assembly in this review of their
labours. It is extremely difficult to apportion to them their proper share of praise and
blame. Much of each iney ondeniabiT deaerved. In the Billaof 1814-18, Sic, up to 1831,
their main struKgle was to subject tue school system to popular cuntrul. Th.is principle
surely merits rrell to be an important element in every system of education , aad if, on

in it towarda the establishment of any elementary system of education ; but, to ona who
has studied its history, and waded through the mass of laws concerning education, it is at
first inexplicnble how so many attempts can have been made without pradoeing womt sort
of result. Oo where you wiir, nevertheless, you will scarcely find a truca of cdnoatioa
among the peasantry. W..ile the school-system was in force, there was n vai^ inadequate
provision or houses, and, of those that coca had existence, scse ara now in complete
ruins, and others the subject of fierce litigati n among the neighbouring iahabitanta.
The sight of these ruins or the tale of these disputes is dl that remains to the present of
the past.
I consulted several lawyers as to their experience in this matter, and thejr invariably
told the same story. They agreed that there is hardly ever a prisoner or a witness, or n
petty juryman who knows how to write; indeed, I have seen noticed in a Montreal naper
a presentment by a grand jury, in which six out of the 13 signatures were aarks. I con>
suited one of the hnds of the militia department, and he tmd me, with • phy on the
word, that the officers under him were generally very experienced aMrAmsn. I saw seve-
ral petitions from parishes, praying for the erection of small-canse conru ; I hardly ever
saw more than the petitioners' crosses to them ; and it should be borne in mind that these
petitions must be signed by at least 100 heads of familiea in the parish. It may ba said
that all these jurors aei militia officers and petitioners are of necessity grown-op uen,
and that few could have reaped the benefit of the schools which wera only eslabtisoed to
any extent in iSap, at which time they were bevood the age of admission. I made, houh-
ever, particular inquiries on ail sides as to whether the rising generation wera better in>
structed, but rarely was any distinction made in their fiivonr. In the very few country
plaeea which I visited, I made a point of asking all the child a I met whetlier tlmr could
write ; the great msjoriiy could not write at all, and of those who said ihty coulti, most,
I fbuiKl, on pressing, tu admit that they could only write their names. This description
will not seem juitificd by the analysis of the schools under the Roman Catholic cicigy of
the diocese of Quebec, furnished by M. Caieau, the bishop's secretarjr, and whicn wilt
ba found in the Appendix, (Letter C.) I feel bound injustice to gi«e his statement, but,
although I am not qualified |>ositively to contradict any part of it, I cannot help express-
ing an opinion, formed after much conversation respecting the district, that if a strict
inquiry were made aa to how many old or young in it could write, or cast np aunts, or
speak English well «noush for ordinary purposes, the number, apparently so respectable on
his list, would be reduced to a very small fraction.
Wiihal, this is a people eminently qualified to reap advantage from education ; they ara
shrewd and intelligent, very moral', most amiable in their domestic relations, and moat
graceful in their maonert ; but they hKk all enterprise ; they have no notion of improve-
ment, and no desire lor it. Ttieir wants are few and easily satisfied. Thev have not
advanced one step in civilization beyond the old Bretons who first set fcMt on the banks of
the 8t Lawrence, and they are quite content to be sutionary. Their utter ignoraiice of
the theory and improved practice of agriculture is painfully witnessed in their cultivation
of the rich banks of that noble river. If, instead of learning at their schools to make
crosses with pens, they had been taught the most approved principles of clearing, draining.
Ice, in a word, oi' fsrming ; iiuiead oi starving cattle and niinute subdivisions of ill-culti-
vated plots, no disadvantages of climate would have prevented our seeing by this time
thriving cardens, productive crops and healthy herds.
But I have hititerio been only speaking of the male population. The difference in the
character oi the two sexes is remarkable. The women are really the men of Lower Canada.
They are the active, buttling, buiiness portion of the AoMmu; and this results (torn the

Appendix, (Letter 0.), and the finding oat the inQividaah in each looalilvaMMt ^nallfied to
gin infarmaiiao, took much time and wera attended, the latter taik in particular, with
mneh troaUe. By the time I left Qaebec, hardly any retorni had been not in, but poet
after poet brought letters from persons whose auisunee I had asked in filling up the
tablet, declining to act with oertam other persons with whom I had proposed to as s oc i a te
them for that purpose; some, on the ground that soch persons wen bad characters, or that
tbcj were too interested to be honest, ftc., but mosr frequently that they were disloyal.
A PnMetiant clerfQfman wrote to me, indignantly refuting hit aid, because hie name had
been pm after that of the Roatan Catholic pnest, in the list of persons whom I had
rcqncttcd to cooperate in raakina' a return. The greater part of the Roman Catholie
olerjor in the diocese of Montreal, who took any notice wnatever of my ciren|ar, gen
answer, that. they could consent to rcccin no communications on such a subiect that did
notcooie through their bishop. The bishop himself intimated to me, that tM educar^oD
of the Catboiic population was the business of their Chnreb, and one with which ihe
OonmoMnt had no right to interfere. From the bishop of Quebec and his coadjutor,
and from all the clergy in that diocere with whom I came in coniajt, I invariably received
the matt considerate awl friendly attention to importunities which it was necessary not
sparingly to address to them.
¥nm the moment it became senerally understood that Tonr Lordship's govcrament was
coming to a spect'y close, a marked diSerence was observable in the willingness or many to
supply information. Some, perhaps, thought that the whole inquiry would from that moment
fell to the ground ; but a greater number, I am persuaded, tnat there wat no longer any
authority to enforce their attention to iu unpopular demands.
The greater part of the information lequireJ in my circular being indispensable before
any future system of education can be brought into operation, the office of the commis-
sion at Quebec is kept open, and a competent geoUeroan appointed fbr the express pur-
pose of collecting, digesting, and reporting upon the returns. Since my departure from
Canada, I have received letten from him, stating that the answers come in very slowly ;
that there is a great disinclination on the part of some to tske any trouble in the matter,
and a determination on that of others to throw every impediment in the way of the inquiry.
His experience strongly confirms my own, that no reliance it to be placed on the leal or
honesty of the localities, and that wnatever is lo be done, ains' l>e done by commissioners
themreWes visiting everv spot, and in person setting their new system on foot. The only
accurate details I am able to furnish, and I venture to call them accurate, not from my
own knowledge, but frotn my complete confidence in the Kenileman who collected them,
rakita to the eity and suburbs of Quebec. It was a work of no small labour, as he had no
authentic guide in his srareh, and was literally obliged to hunt out schools in every street
and alley within that large circle, and as he made the most minute inqoiriet respecting
each. These details are in my possession ; they are hardly worth inserting in this report
or in the Appendix, but are ready to be banded over, at a moment's notice, to any authori-
ties ihatanay hereafter have a use for them.
The foltowiug are the most important facts that they present : —
There are in Quebec 99 boys' and 33 girl/ schools, among which latter are not how-
ever incladed those of the Ursuline and See ifs de la Congregation, 8lc. nunneries.
The total number of boys in resuor iititendance is 1,339, of whtm 581 are English and
641 French Canadians. The tota number of girls is 977, of whom 365 are English and
619 French. Accordingly, the gro. number of scholars in regular attendance m 3,190;
of this number only 548 can read anti write well enough for ordinarv purposes, nnd only
490 learn both languages, 46 English children learning French, and 444 French learn-
ing Englisli. The whole yearly cost of these schools, arising from subscription, public
grants and pupils' fees, is about 4,400/. Man^ of the masters and mistresses are utterly
incompetent; and it is obvious, that, undera judicious system, twice th'.i number of children
might be brought together at half the cost, in a quarter of the number of schools, and
receive an edaeation incalculably superior.
With regard to the meana of higher education, persons of British origin have hi^rdly
any, while those of French origin have them in too great abundance. It is impossioie for
an English gentleman to give his son a finished educacion in the province. If he wishes
him to be instructed in the higher branches of mathematics, natural and moral nhilosophy,
&c., he must either send him to Europe or the United States, or avail himself of the more
imperfect opportunities afibrded in the Catholic establishments of the colony. Political
and religious animosities render them very averse to the latter alternative. Some fear
what they consider the contamination of republican principles in the Stntes, and all
shrink from the expense and separation attending education in Europe. Under these
vireumstances, they cherish with great fondneu the hope of seeing the establis! ^ent of
ii colonial university, on a broad and comprehensive scale. The better class of tra. ^men,

Buperioc educatioo to the reel of the populatioot but, after their ouuna oif itudiea ie coai>
pleted, what it their lot ? Tlicre are no public iaetitutioaa in the province where their
talenta can be tnmad to aocount. The learned profeteioae are overttockcd, and oMny
bring back to the humble home of their fathen a diioppoutted and diaeontented'tpirit;
too proud b) tink to manual labour, and without the opportunity of riaing higher.
With the exception of theacminary of Quebec, I cannot apeak from my own knowlcdgo
of the character of theie collegea. I had intended to make a peraonal inapection of them,
and had made preparationa to commence my juumcy on the very morning the intdli*
gence arrived from England which rendered it neceaaarv for your Excellency to relinquiah
the g^ovcrnment of the colony. From thote in the above eiiumeratioo marked with an
aateriak I have received relurna. Tlietc I bavcalaoin my potaeaaion,and at theditpoaalof
the Government. The Mntinary of Quebec ia an admimb^-oondnotcd eaubliahment; the
leal of itt members unceuiitting, and their arrangementa in every way moat judicioua.
Mr. Holmea, who ia at pretent at the head of the department of tuition, furniah«d me with
a minute account of itt liiatory, management and reaonrcet. Tbit eatabliabment baa never
received auittance from the public chett, but hat kept op a cooaiant atruggle to make ita
own retourcei meet ita dailv increaaing expenditure. Thia» however, will not long be
pottible. In a petition, wbicli the aeminary preaented to your Bxcellaiiey, tliey complain
that land* in. France belonging to them, and yielding an annual revenue of 960/. aterling,
had been confiscated at the French Uevolulbn ; and that, owing to tundry mitunder^
atandin|^ between their agent and the commiaaionera appointed to examine the claima
of Britith ftubjecu ao situated, 00 compenaatioa had ever been granted to them. The
petition concluded with a prayer, that, if there wa* no further hope from that, f^uarter, they
might be permitted under leitert patent to acquire and hold in mortmatn land* of
equal value to thoae of which they were thus deapoiled, tubject, however, to the moat
specific declnration that might bs requited, that they were held in tniat for purpotea of
education alone.
Similar attempts have been made by aeveral other colleges, and aome with auocest. ABill
to give generally a corporate capacity to all provincial institutiont for education waa paated
by both Hoaset in 1R34, but tlie royal tanction refuted, on grounda very clearly stated by
lionl Aberdeen, the then Colonial Secretary. In the course of tbia suitement bis Loidabip
observes, "that he is not disposed to attach any real importance to the unlimited power
which this Bill would confer of holding in mortmain rent-charges of any amount for the
objects of the proposed corporations. With the changes which time baa introduced in tho
atate of society and public opinion throughout Christendom, have |MiMed away the
greater part, if not all, of the solid reasons by which our nncsestors were induced to con-
..end agaiott the immoderate growth of ecclesiastical and collegiate foundations; and
maxims which migiit be just and useful in the densely-peopled states of Europe, possessing
territoriea of comparatively narrow extent, would be altogether delusive if transferred to
the continent of North America." His Lordship concludes by saying, " notwitlistand-
ing these objections, his Majesty cannot so far overlook the importance of the great object
to the advancement of wliicn the measure is directed, as to adopt any deciaion unfavou^•
able to it. His Majesty earnestly trusts tliat a furtlier Bill will be passed by the two
Housea to obviate the difficulties I have pointed out, and in that event his Majesty's assent
will be given wiih the hishest possible satisfaction to the present, as well as to any such
supplemental, enactment. '
It any danger can reasonally be apprehended from the unlimited power to hold real
estate, it would be very easy to prescribe a limit. The Canadians have great faith in
the good effects of a general incorporation of education; i institutions, aa is witnessed by
all the Bills from 1818 to 1834, wherein reliance for the eventual maintenance of achoola
was placed entirely on the charily, which waa invited by such safe and encouraging
provisions.
At regards the academies and colleges, of which I have been apeaking, it is confidently
aiuerted that, if a general Incorporation Act were pasted, the greater part, if not all of them,
would before lung be in a condition to be independent of legislative aid.
The only Protestant endowment in tlie province is that of M'Gill'a college. The
history of this institution, the original bequest, iuc protracted litigation, and, at length,
tbc final decision, are matters aa familiar to peraona in thia country acquainted with Cana-
dian ofiaira as in Canada itself. The college is not yet open ; indeed, the building not yet
erected. Ita annual incouie, derivable from housea in Montreal, and money at interest,
II about 644/. It is obvioua that this endowment alone ia insufficient for the purposes of
a university, to which rank it is tbe wish of many to elevate this college; and it is
doubtful whether the trustees of the Uoyal Institution, under whose direction it was
.placed

I abiitin fVon giving in thia plneo, wMek might appear the most appropriate for it, the
triewa generallY cmei^tined at to the proper meant and end of education hy the ffloit
inflaential parnee in the province, nanmy, the French and Englith laitTt and tlie Pro-
tcttam and Oatholio dcrgy. I think they will be found better illuetnited by their oontratt
or accordance with the pnnoiplee I am now about to tubmii to your Excellency, at, hi
my opinion. -affbrding the belt fbnndation for a future tcheme of national education.
1 cannot, however, dltmlM thli part of the lubject without remarking, that, though the
picture of the pretent, at I have, net unfaithAilly, dmwn it, it gk)omy, and in much unpro-
mWng, it hat ttill itt bright tide. The very circumttancet of the complete deatruction
of patt tyitemt, and the otter abtence of any at the preieot time, arc mattert of great good
fortune and congratulation, for now a clear field liet open for the future. Infinitely greater
diffieuliict would have been in the way, if the claimt of acting teaohen were to be firtt
contidered,orif a ichool^yttem were ttill in force, interwoven with the alTectlonior ioteretn
of any large portion of the people ; but, nt it it, there are no individuals to coropeninie, no
t>ld machinery fceeed upon uur nte ; anid on the titeof theold ruins ia ample unencumbered
loom for the erection of a new and durable edifice.
The great parent evil of Lower '^-mada n the hotti?e divition of racei. Every act of
modem legitlation heart the ftiihfu^ . Jipreta of thit herediury deformity, and has imparted
it with anravated intensity to every institution or interest with which it has hail to deal.
Hence thelmperfectiont and one-tideduess of all such inititutions. In private life, the intense
hatred of the two races does not often show itself in violent collisions, but rather in a rigid
Bon-interconrse. From the moment they are bom to tlie hour that they die, they are, to
all intents and purposes, two tuparate nationt. But, until these divitiont are healed and
the people united, until Canada ft nationalized and Anglified, it is idle for Eugland to be '
devising schemes for Iter improvement. In this great wo'k of nationalization, education is at
once the most convenient and powerful instrument. It it a hopeless task to attempt
to reconcile the existing generation of antagonists. Their whole life has been one
of civil warfare. But, for those that are yet nnboru, a more auspicious future may be
prepared.
In Canada, the child of French extraction is brought up out of the sight and hearing of
the chiki of British parents. They never meet under the same roof; they are sent to
separate schools; and the^ are told that the reason of this separation is, that the children of
the rival school are heretics, or belong to another nation. They have no common hopes
or fears, or pleasures or dangen — none of those kindly associations so easily born out of the
ftmiliarities of comradeship, and so faithfully retained throughout the vicissitudes of life.
In short, upon entering into the world, they find no lie to bind them together, and all things
around them inviting to haired and hostility. But how different would be their feelinga
towards each othel', werfe they brought up at the same schools ; were ihey to play together,
Md receive the tame punishment 1 Tliey would then form friendships which would
soften, if not altogether subdue, the rivalries of after life. A scheme by which the children of
these antagonist races should be brought together, were it only for purposes of play, would
1>e preferable to one by which they received a good education apart ; but one, by which
both union and instruction were assured to them, would be the first and most important
atep towards the regeneration of Canada.
The first difliculty in the way of such a scheme is, to divest it altogether of political and
sectarian tendencies. There must be no room for politicians to turn it to selfisn purposes.
The system mist be permanent, and not liable to be disturbed by party dishonesty or
Caprice. No schoolmaster should vote at electiuna and any interference on his part in
politics at any time sliould be punishable with removal, just as is the case in England with
persons holding certain offices under the Crown. It should be made, moreover, impossible
to make mastenhips, as heretofore, the reward to incompetent persons of past political
obtequioutness, by refusing that ofllce to any one who has not a certificate from a normal
school, or some similar establishment. Such precautions, enforced by an honest and
Vigilant supervision, would, I have no doubt, rid a new system of the abuse which was
(leriiaps the most fatal among the many in the past.
Another difficulty consists in the solution of these two questions : Is any religious
instruction to be given in the future national schools? and, if so, how is it to be so given
as to lie acceptable alike to Catholic and Protestant i lliroughout the United States, it
is met by permittiuK no instruction of this description in the public schools beyond the
reading every day, by tlie master, of a chapter in the Bible, and that without comment.
The circumstances, however, of the two countries are different in some important respects.
In the Slates, especially in those of New England, communications are more easy, the
population mora dense, and almost every sect in every kscality provided witli its religious
teacher, and conseaucntly with the means of obtaining religious instruction, independently
of the school. In Canaifa, the minority in a parish or township have rarely any one to
look to for It, except the schoolmaster; nor, indeed, can the m^ority place mucli reliance
elsewhere, because tlie people are oo scattered, and the distances so great, that the minister
can only bestow that attention on few which all require. Recognizing, therefore, as every
Christian must, the indispensable neceuity of providing some means of religious instruction
for children, and seeing the difficalty of finding them elaewhere than in the schools, it
remains tor me to show whether they can be introduced there, without at the same time
ofi'ering violence to the reasonable jealousiea of either creed.

which (hev might enjov without offending or interfering with each other. Hie book of

by the matte;, an extra allowance tbould be made to him. In Catholic perith et the
fabrioue can without difficulty tupply thit trifling tum, and in the townthipt it muit be
raited by tubtcription.
Again, (he lime which it not flxed upon for thit pvrpotc by the aiQority may be

tupply it. By thit arrangement the majority kite nothing, and tbe minority an guaranteed

of enjoying, vritli thit tingle exceptir:i. that it mutt be given either Utc or early in the
day, and not, at heretofore, (vibap;.. in the middle of tchool-hourt.
i'heie it uothing in thit wlh:*^ taket the religiout int(ruc(ton of you(hoot of the hand*
of the clergy, it, on tli« contrary, conftrmt it to them. The religion, which it teacliea
in tchool-huurt, it tuch at iliey have already approved of, and all beyond it left entirely
to ihrir direction.
Thete viewt I put forward, muck in the tame language, in lettcrt to tbe Catholic bithop
of Quebec, and tome of tiie priDcipal roembert of the cingUih and Scotch church. The
antirert 1 received were any thing but encouraging. The pithop, who tpoke at the mild
reprvteaiative of tlie feelingt ot bis clergy, teemed to find no fault with tbe propotal
ret|>cctiHg the extractt, but directed bit chief feart and hottility againtt the principle
which I laid down at ibe great foundation of my tyttem, namelv, the importance of
bringing the two religiout and racet together in common tchoolt. He taw no advantage
in «uch a uuion— (how few Canadiant do, or will own tliat they do!) — and be clung witb
foodneu to a tcheme, which, together with the bithopt of Montreal and Sidyme, and in
the name of the Catholic Church, he had developed in a petition to your Lordthip for the
etubiithment of exclotively Catliolic ichoola for the childnn of that per«aation.
He ttlto feared the powert, which, in the tyttem of whidi I drew him a tketch, I pro^
poted to give to the tuperintendent or chief officer of education. He attorned that tliia

Bat why introdaoa tba diicoMion of thij priocipio into a ichool^yttem ? I aa for tho

agiaed that, praetiaally, ia ichoob their ate mait be rectriotcd : aad thcreforo it would
loally leea my feoUih of either of as to forego the advantages of education nMrely for tba
Mho of aiiertiag a priocipla which it not in the ilighteit degree affected by oar aMcrtioa
of it on each aa ooeaiioa.
I am far from propming to abKodoa tbii priaeiple. In tbe palpit,.or by tla family fire^
aide, I would maialain it* tu'th ; but I conceive tliat iu aMcrtion, aa propoeed by tha
pelitioncrt, would be attended vitSi no practical advaatagc, bat, on the cootrary, with tho
great practical evil of for ever dlienatiBg the alliectioot or tiie majority of our coioaittt, and
of thwarting the surett meaat remaining to at of regenerating this unhappy land.
I do not ■villi to be understood as admittJag that these are tlie opinion* of tba eatiia
Protestant clergy ; perhaps the exceptions are as nnmeroua. The Episoopaliaa clergy .are
almost uaanimootly hosula to my scheme, tha Presbyterian divided: bat I fancy ttwt
I owy claim the sympathy of a vau nu^joriiy of tha difereot bodies of Disseatcrs.
I liardly developed my views to ob« of the laity of British origin, wlio did uot cordially
enter into them. From this class tha strongest support will be given to a liberal sdienM.
The laity of French origin are strongly averse to the amalgaaMting prineipla, aud of
course still more so to the Icindrcd principle of Anglification, upon wbicn this as well .s all
future Caaadian institutions must Im liased. Such principles of course shock their feelings
of oationality, and they woald in all probability for a long time keep back their ohildrea
from the coateraplated sclwols, were not still more unpopular means resorted to to iuduca
them to conform, naaiely, taxation. Hitherto unaccustomed to any contributions, the
imposition of one even for this purpose would at fint be considered a great hardship.
But it is idle to dream of giving sood inttituctions to Canada without calling upon iu
inhabitants for direct pecuniary aid. It is visionary to think of supporting Wi exteasiva
system of edacatioo, simply by graats from the public cliest, and equally to to rely on tba
voluntary sacrifices of a people, who would ratlier see their children altogether uneducated
tliait set the dangeroas preccoent of doing any thing for themselves.
To indirect taxation, I found many Canadians not averee ; but, upon argameat, I found
them differ greatly as to what were the best objects of such taxation : and the more gene-
ral and better opinion I think was, that tech a resource was uncertain and inadequate.
However, titere are many reasons besides its greater certainty, in favour of direct taxation.
There is no waste in collection, and the parties who pay see how iheir money is applied.
The feeling is irresistibly forced upon them," If we are obliged to pay, we will have our
money's worth \" and however unpopular tha schools might be, tbe tax would soon ill
ihem.
This truth I have shown, by extracu from their reports, to have been fully and frequently
acknowledged by committees of tha House of Assembly.
The principle adopted in the American systems would perhaps l>e the best ; vis. to
nquire each school district to furnith, by atseument among its inhabiunts, an amount at
least equivalent to the sum apportioned to it from the public funds. In the towns, perhaps,
it would not fa« iinrestonable to tsx to twice that amount. After all, thit tax, levied at it
would be, generally, and according to certain proportiont, upon the community at large,
would fall far morelightly than did the demand, under former tytlemi, upon parenu sending
their children to school of payment at the rate of s*. per month for each.
Supposing that 50 children attended school for eight months in the year, formerly 50
parents would have liad to payt6i. per annum apiece, making in all a turn of 40/.
Now I suppose in such a school district I may safely say there would be too taxable iaha-
bitants. Accordingly, each (assuming they were taxed equally) wootd only have to pay
8*. to make up the 40I. ; or supposing ao extra a r . a piece uecetary for fuel and buoica,
only 101. or two dolUrs. It is hardly worth while combating the argument, that the
expense* of tiie education of children saould be borne by their own parenU, and that they
cannot juitly be imposed upon those who receive no benefit. Thev all receive a benefit;
and if A.'s cnild cannot gc to school because neighbours B., C. and D., who have no chil-
AppsadU(0.)
periy, ur any other outrage he perpetrates against them.

ar were empkyed at home in amiating their pareolt. The icmaiaiag 50 woald be ia ragalar
atiaodanoe, and might catily bo all well inttruoied by a competent matter.
Aa it it notoriuut that tbere are loiac dituiott ia the province habitually very poor, and
that otben arc liabk lo occaaiooal ditticia, it will ba advitable to have a yearly turn
lo bring lo tbcir aid ; tuch tun never to exceed a,5ooi. ia any one year, and not more ihaa
ao ii lo be given to any one district.
In addition to the elementary tchoola, it will be nooeatary to have tome of a higher
deacriptioo disperted over the province. Indeed it may be aa well at once to adopt for this
aarpotc ihe provition of the Bill of 1836, by which it waa prupoaed to erect a model ichool
m each county.
The coti ot thete to the education fund, tuppoiing an allowance of 50 /, a piece to 40
counties, would br a/Mo /. per annum. A turn of ao/. additional might without difficulty
be raited in each county, »o at to raite the maatai't sakry lo 70^ j the alkwaace of the ^
£ot being in every case conditional in the previous collection of the ao/.
Tbcte model tcuooU are of infinite importance, became they not only tupply the meant
of a better kind of education to the better cksiet in each county, but may be made lo bold
out tirong inoantivei to the ambition of both masiert and icholart of elementary tchoolt.
By the mattert they might be cootidered in ihe light of 40 priiet, to which any one 01
them might reaionabiy atpirc ; and a promotion to which, tuppoting an equality of quali-
fication, tbould go by picfereooe to ai> ekmenlary achoulmatter of th« county in vrhicn tbe
vacancy oocurt.
Again, there might be atuched to each model tchool, to be raited in like manner fiom
the county, a tort of tcholarthip of tbe yearly value of 10 L Thit sum, which of coniaa nmy
be increated to any amount that it pleated by voluntary tubtcriptions, should be devoted
towardt the maintenance at tlie mooel tchool of a best boy from each parish, to be elected
Iv the inspector or school visitors of the parish from candidates from each school in it.
Ttua boy should intend to devote himself to the occupation of teacher, and after liaviag
coinpkted bis studies there, should have a certificate of qualification for the " indigent
list at a normal school, or some academy receiving government amiatanoe.
There are 40 counties in tbe province, and, on an average, six parishes or townships in
each. Accordingly, each best boy would receive a littk more than 1 /. 19 «. a year towarda
his maintenance, which would be a consideration to man^ who at the model schools would
be out of reach of their own homes, and which, taken with ittconseqoenoM, would present
an infinitely preferable object of ambition to that of the io«. prixe^'monev of past systems.
I am aware how unevenly this fixed reward woald openle in different parishes accoitiing to

l«(0.)
I or toae other, which thall be deemed an cqnivalent tjnalMicatioo. I thuald onacciv*
that each of ihete thne ichoolt to becAdcotly topportad wonid icqaire an anneal tappon,
at aM eventt, far a lone period, of i,ouol.*
Both normal or mMel ichooit onght immcdiatelT to be set on foot, became they may
both be made to aapply one of the firti waatt of the new tyttem, namely, competent
teachen. It it very clear that many of thote Cnt appointed, whatever paint may be «.akem
t* teiaet them, wilfha in need of iniirnetion ihemteivet. I would therefore teggcti, that
all mattert of elemcnury ichooit thoeld be obliged for a certain period every year to aitcntT
the model whoolt in their county, until they receive a certificate of " complete qnalifico^
linn " far their datiet. With ihit view there matt either be a diffcrtnce between the timet of
vacation hi the model and elementary tohoolt, or the mattert of the hitler duriiig their attend-
anee nt the farmer mnti provide tcaehert to carry on their bntincw for them. Bf
thiaprepnmiory edneation the competency of futnre matien wonId be enturcd. Iliey mutt
alto, of conrte, bring to the normal achooh, aadcarrv from them untamithed, tettimonialt
of good private eharrcter. If at a tabteqoent periodf anv of them thould be guilty of any
great hnmomliiy, they will be removed by the proper antnoritiei.
The certainty of a lahuy of at ieaai 30L per annnm. beiidet honte and fuel, and the far-
ther praapcct of promotion to a model tehool, or to tome better lapporicil (from local
advantaget) than their own, would hold out tuflicient inducement lo men of character and
talent to fellow the canine of teacher, whhdi then, intlend of being, at now, the wunt in the
oonntry, would be aoMMg the bett. P^rhapi the erection of new inttiiutiont, or the piovitiont'
of new towi, each, forhniance, at thote of a Regitiry Act, may create dutict which the tehool-
aarter may bt\ the mott fitting^perton in the locality to perform. Here at once there woahl
beatafety-valve far aN that watte talent which I have detcribed u finding no outier
under the preacnt tyttem, and endangering toeieiv by itt irregnlar oatbreak*. Here are
at OBce 1,300 new placea of' profit to which well-educated men may look for honourable '
Mpport.
Bat not only are thete iacentivet held ont tu mattert ; their power of doing harm it
much abridgco ; all interference with politict it interdicted, under penalty ol removal ;
their powera of interference m mattert connected with rehgion are ttrictly limited ; their
Kholart are obliged to bring with them bookt tpccified by a tuperior authority ; In thort,
little it left to a matter't mere ditcretion ; hia chief care mutt be to act up to hit inttrnc-
tioni, and to maintain hit character for decency and diligence.
I now come to the provitiont tot intpeetion and tupervition, in which the vi'aliiy of
every tyttem of education mntt eoientially reaide. However good the tcheme may l>e in
thecwy, with whatever precantiona it maylbe guarded in written bookt of roles and Acta
of Parliament, all it of no avail nnlett that tcheme ia watched, and thote precnutiona
enforced by an honett and active intpeetion. The church, and more etpecially the Catholic
branch of it, have long maintained that the education of the people it etnpnaiically ilieir
department, and ought by right to be tubjecied to their immediate control. Heretofore,
when that body munopeUaeaall the learning of the timet, it wat right to concede thtt
claim ; but a different dittriboiion of intelligence existt in the pretent day. The tcience
of education it now more generally known, and a more general interett felt in itt ad-
vhncement. The people every where ottert their right to tome there in the' management of
inttitntioot for which they pay, and which are intended for their benefit ; and a long
eiperience haa ahown the advantage of paying well for direct respontibiliiy over confiding
to' the zcnl of unremnnerated, atMl therefore independent, tervice.
Clerical control and national tchoolt are incompatible in a eonntry where there exiit two
religioni ; and it it very certain that the clergy would not be over anxiout tu carry out a

aigumenu, ii will be better to |pve at once a alight aketch of we machinery by which I
piopoae to cafry on the government of the national avstem.
I will. begin by aaaaming that the country ia to be divided into municipalitiai, ol an
txteat auitable to the operation of mv plan. . In each municipality a certain number
(any three) acbo«il<./«miasiooera ahonld be elected, ia the aama manner and at the aama
time as the other local officers. Ona of theao should go out yearly, there being, however,
no reatriciioo aa to re^lcctioo. Their daty ahouM be to receive the government
alktwaace for all the achoob in (be municipality, and to diatribnte their leapective aharaa
to the traateea of each diatricu The legal cataie in all the elementary aobool-4ioutca in
their municipality, and in all thereal property attached (o them, ahould m vested in them ^
and they ahoald direct, aul^t to appeal me iormation of new diatricu*. They would have
to report to the inapcctM annually upon the financial oonoema of the aunicipaliiy
under ti^ir management; and alao^ at the proper time, upon the diatricta that thw
have formed, or tticae that they have propoacd and have been objected to, together with
the siatemeou pro and eaa. 4
A .district being formed, thrre trustees ahonld be elected by the inhabitant*, in the aama-
manner and for tiM aama period aa the oommiMionera. Their dutiea would be to anpefiotend ,
the fiaaacial concema of the district. They would have to collect the tax, and bold the.
govenmentaUowanoe, makiag quartedy paymenu of both to the master. They would
aiao aee (hat the proviaions of the law reapecting tl'. repair* and warming of the acbooi-
bouae, lie, were properly aucndcd to; in abort, they would mma« the daily conoeru of
the achocd. To them, in conjunction with all the miniaters of rdigion in iha pariah or
township, should be inirutted the a|^oiment of the maater. Of course the peraon
tbey aewct must posa e aa the certificate from a normal or other school; in short, all
the qualifications required by law. Oace, or oftener, they must report to the inspector*
nnd a copy of their report be posted in some conspicuous piaoe, or deposited aomewh«r«.
where all the inhabitanu might have access to it.
There should alau be a Iward of school visitors in each municipality, composed of the
following members; the resident ministers of religion, two midenu appoinied by the
iiupcctor, and two annually by the municipaliU. Their duties shnula be tu iuspect
the reports of the commiuioucrs and uustces before preseoiation to the inspector, end
make (heir commenu thereon if necessary ; to visit (in a body of three at lea* t) each
school four times a year, at irregular periods, and without notice, and to report quarterly t^
(be inspector. A copy of their report should also be placed within reach of the inhabiianu
of each district. If tnere is any aiffereoce of opinion among the visitors, the anme ahoukl
be expressed in the report.
Ill the three large towns this management must be slightly different. In each a certain
nusuber of public elementarv schools (liable of course Irom time to time to uonsiderable
variation) should be esublisned by commisaioners elected for that purpose, in the tame
manner as the other municipal officer*. At the same time should be elected (sa^ .g)
trustees to have similar powers with (hose in rural districts, a certain number going out
yearly, and others being elected in their stead. The visitors should be the neada or
aenioiaof each religioua denomination, or their depotiea; five peraons elected by the muni-
cipality, and five by the inspector. The same regularity of reporting and publicity, &c.,
will be required here aa in the country.
The province should be divided into three inspectorships, comprising as nearly as pos-
sible an equal population, and under the direciion of three inspectors appointM by the
Oovemor ; one to reside at Quebec, anotlier at Montreal, and the third either at Three
Rivers, or seme more convenient place. Their duties should be to receive and collate the

to then. For this purpose, I sbonld think 400/. a year to each woaid be saAeient>with an
additional loot for travelling ezpensca.
The office of snperintendcnt or chief officer of instroction ought to be one of the
highest dignity hi the provmee. He should keep hinnelf (and ao shooM the inspeetenV
under pcnaltv of removal, conplelely aloof fhnu politics. He is to be tmstee of the
permanent eaacathm fund, and m to distribnte it according to the precribed proportions.
He will have to lay down mice as to whaf books are to be used in school^ the Hoars of
attendance, 8cc., and to interpret the Act under which the system is created. His dedsioas
should be mnding in all matters refarting to school discipline. He shooM receive the
reporu of tho Inspectors, and lay them j together with hb comments on them, aa well as hb
observations on toe general concenw and <»adition of education in the province, annually
before the ledalature. Thb report, like all the others, shouM receive tiie widest ponihie
circulation. He should reside at the seat of sovemment, where an office and secretary
should be found him.-and shonid have a suitable salary, say 8po/. a year. As the work-
ing of the system will materially depend npon this officer, it b needlesa to urge the
neceuity of a discreet selection, and of the most careful accuracy in definins his powers.
Both lie and the inspectors shonid hold office durinc good benavionr. Tnere is some
difficulty in determining the authority by which their aSeged offences should be tried, and
by which, in case of conviction, thev ahould be remof< d. Perhaps, if a new court of
appeals is estaUbhed, on the principle which I undeistnnd is in your Loidship's contem-
platton to recommend, ineh woula be the most fitting tribunal to adjudicate in these
cases.
Such, then, my Lord, are the principles on which, in my opinion, a national system of
cddcation for Lower Canada should be based, and such the rough outline of the maehi-
neiy by which it should be worked. I have made no attempt at originality, but have con-
stantly kept in view, as models, the systems in force in Prussia and the United States,
particular^ the latter, as being more adapted to the circumsunces of ilie colony. The
office of inspector is somewhat pew to that system, and provides, I think, against its
most serious defects, but almost every other suggestion which 1 have made is vindicated
by the most successful experience in one or the other of thoie countries.
From a system so founded and so managed, I anticipate the happiest results. It would
be one into which religioas dissensions could not find their way, and which political men
would have no power to pervert. It would impress upod the people the important truth,
that education was as much their own concern as that of their rulers. It would forward
energetically the great national objecu we should have in view,— Uniting the two races and
Angnfying the Canadian. It would be provided with teacliers well qualified iu station,
character and acquirements ; and punuiu of utility would be encouraged in forms at once
popular and practical. A senetal feeling of emulation would be created, both among
masters and pupils, by the prospect of honourable and substantial distinction. Its.
faithful administration would be guaranteed at once by the interestedness cf its subordinate
officers, and the disinterestedness of the superintendent and inspectors ; bat, above all, by
that best of human securities, the perfect publicity of iu minutest deiuls.
That such a system will at first be assailed L v a great many objections, I will admit. By
the great mass of Disaei;;ers and by nearly all the British laity, 1 l.<lieve, it will bo fullv
appioved. And, indeed, to each ol those parties, among which its opponents will be foano,'
there will be many part* of it highly acceptable. Ail religious denominations, for instance,
will approve of its guarantees against political contamination, and politicians will not find
fault with its being placed out of the control of the Church. Of course, a variety of ex-
ceptions inay be uken to the details of my scheme, particularly to my imperfect develop-
ment of tiiem, but by these I do nut profess to abide. I thought some such sketch as I
have given was necessary for the illustration of it, and I am quite ready to believe that, in
order to render it practicable, many important alterations must be made.
If, however, the unpopularity and not the intrinsic merits of measures is to be a con-
sideration now, I should conceive that the trouble of legislating for Lower Canada miuht as
well be spared. Unless the principle of Anglificaiion h to be unequivocally recognized, and
inflexibly carried out, of course al| such proposals as mine must fall to the grnnnd ; but,
if it is to be recognised and carried out, where will its popularity be found ? Is it not, in
other words, waging direct war with the dearest prejudiiiei and fondest hopes of the vast
miyority of the people ? and can any caution, in the way of half-measures or of delay,
deceive them as to tne object, or disarm or even mitigate tlieir hostility ? It is not without
feelings of sincere avenion that those who avow liberal principles of government can
so far abandon them, as to entertain propositions like these for tmmpling upon the opinions
and feeUngs of the majority. But, yet, in Lower Canada, original blunders and continuona
mismanagement have prcidnced such desperate diseases as to leave none but desperate
lemedlcs. The colony will not be worth our keeping unless it is AngliKcd. The I'rench

Great at these two amounu appear, they are not under either head at laroe aa vronM
have been reqnired to carry out the proviaioni of the rqected BiH of 1834. The aum to
have been inpplied from the public cbett, for lue tn^port of eliinentary model and normal
I ; and the following!
tcbools, woaU have amounted to upwanh of 40,000?. per )
would have been railed from the inhabitants by assement, or by monthly or irreguhir
payments.
The country was to be divided into 1 ,658 districts. Now, supponng, that in each school
there wat only the minimum numberof children (namdy so) in attendance for eight months
only in the year. Each of these being reiqnired w pay ts. per mowtb, the aggregated
Kvmenu under this head, anting from the inhabitantt, would nave amounted to 06^8/.
ts is tuppotins, at I have taid, that only so children were in attendance at each tcnool,
or 33,160 in au; whereas the number of children throughout the province, between 5
and 14 years of age, it calculated at about 100,000.
In addition to theie monthly paymentt, localities were made to contribute s.oool. a year
at their thare to words the talariet of matters of model tchoolt. TWir there in the cost of
building K'hool-houses, wot to have been a,ooo/. a year at the leatt, I believe: and ettima-
ting the cost of bouktatonly 72/., there would be coming 00 the whole fmm the podtett of
the inhabitanta, in respect of elementtry education in the rural diitrictt alone, a yearly
turn of 30,600/. ; Hbereat under the lytiem I (>ropoie, the inhabitunta of the tame dittriott
would be only taxed to the yearly amount of 35,000?. There it this further difference, I
tbinlt, in favour of mine, tli&t the rainiog of the 30,600/. fell entirely upon, at most, 33,i&>
parenu, whereas my 85,000/. will be divided probably between soo,ooo tax payers.
Under the system, then, proposed by the Bill of 1836, S3,i0o childrea might nceive a
very miserable education at a cost of about 71,000/. per anauas; under the tytiem I pro-
pote, at leatt tw'>ce that number of children may rcceiva a very excellent education at a
yearly cott of only 57,000/.
Still, however, ilic ouettion remaina wiantsrefcd, frooa what soaroe is a neraaaaant edi»>
oation fmdofs^fiooL per annum to be raised f The only means towarws it at prcstnt
available to the province, are the yearly revenues of the Jcaaiu' estates and th« ao,oool.

95,000/. will still be needed from the provincial treavury. This is much to be regratted,
but there isno alleaiative. Com|dete mdependence of the legislature is of course unattain-
able ; but it is to be hoped that, if that body is reconstituted or reformed, the cause of
education need not henceforth apprehend danger from the indifference or dishonesty of
any of its component parts.
In bis annual report, the superintendent will lay before each branch of the legislature an
account of the expenses of the system, and, after meeting them as far as he is able by iu
" permanent fonos," will apply to the proTince for the remainder. If this is refused
from any capricious motives, the system must fall to the ground; but such a refuwl
would argue a state of things in which it would be impossible for education or any other
useful institution to thrive.
1 have as yet said nothing of the encouragement of superior educational institutions.
The best system for adoption respecting theae would perhaps be one closely resembling that
in force in the state of New York, nnmdy, to distribute annually a fixed sum between all
the establishments of this grade in the province (with certain provisions as regards legal
incorporation, property and tuition) in proportion to the nnmber of pupils attending each.
They should have been incorporated in accordance with tlie provisions of a general in-
corporation law, and their permanence thereby secured. They should have been endowed
to a certain reasonable extent, and their teaching should be of a certain character, so
as to give them the rank of academies or colleges. They should be subject to an annual
visitation of an inspector, and be required tocoiuorm 10 such purely literary injunctions as
might from time to 4iaM be specified as coaditiens of the public grant. One invariable
condition should be the teaching of English, in a manner satisfactory to the inspector.
An amount of probably from 4,000/. to 5,000 1 per annum would be necessary to rerve
as an incentive to the erection and endowment of such institutions. A portion of this sum
might with advantage be laid out in the shape of a contribution towarcis academies, which
should themselves raise a like sum. (50 L for instance) for the purchase of books and ap-
paratus. It would be desirable also, in consideration of the lamentable deficiency of the
means of superior education within reach of the higher and middle classes of British origin
to devote 350/. per annum towards the support of each of two large English grammar or
public schools at Montreal and Quebec, upon a like sum in each place being first of all pro-
vided by voluntary contribution. These schools, however, should be open to all, the
teaching being entirely in English. The same restrictions as to religious instrliction
should oe in Torce as in the elementary schook. The trustees should be chosen by the
subscribers out of their own body. The nomination of the masters should originate with
tbem, but be subject to the approval of the superintendent ; and, in case of disagreement,
the Governor should decide.
Nor would this annual grant of 5,000 /. for superior education quite equal those made for
a similar purpose for the last five years, the average of which was about 5,900 /.
The claim npon the permanent fund would now, for the entire support of every species
of education, amount to 40,000 /. per annum.
I have before noticed the great anxiety of the higher class of colonists of British origin
for the establishment of a university. I am fully sensible of its advantages, but will abstain
from saying more on the subject than that its cnaracter and means of support must depend
materially upon the nature of the future Kovernment of Canada. If any union of the
British North American provinces is effecteu, a university, jointly endowed by tnem, might
be erected on a most comprehensive scale, embracing faculties of arts, theology, law,
medicine, 8lc. Its proper seat would seem to be Quebec.
In conclusion, if any system such as I have sketched should ultimately be adopted and
confirmed by law, I should stronglv recommend that it should gradually be put in force by
a board of commissioners somewhat similarly constituted to that of the board of Poor
Law Commissioners in this country.
The following would be among their earliest duties. To set the normal and model
schook in operation, and at once open the elementary schools on the new system in the

JESUITS' ESTATES.
REPORT of Mr. Donkiv, the Secretary to the ConmiMion.
Cap. I.
PBOCiiDiMas of the Educatior Commiiiion in rcnrd Id the Inquirj into the
Maaagement and Value of the JuviTr Eitatbs.
Tub value of the Jnoiit' Eitatei, ai a material portion of the fund lo be looked to fbr
the support of an adequate i^itcm of Public Education in Canada, wai a subject to whioh
the attention of the conimistion was earljr directed. To ascertain it, it became neceasaiy lo
eollfot fyill and accurate information as to the extent, position, nature, manaKement, and
revenue, past and present, of the several properties forming those estates. The reports
■ade upon this subiect, at various times, by committees of the House of Assembly (those
more especially of the vears of 1834, 1831, and 1835-6), embody a very considerable amount
of information on all these points ; but, after some time spent in examining ihem, it becMBe
apparent that they by no means furnished all that was required. In respeet of time, none
of them came down to a later date than 1833, the last year in which the Provincial Air-
liament met and transacted business. The inquiries instituted by these committees were,
also, fiir from being sufficiently minute to give a precise idea of the then value of each
portion of the estates, or even to exhibit unequivocally the character of the adminislratioa
under which they were placed. That the estates hod never yielded a nett return at all
adequate to the expectations which their extent would seem to warrant, and that their
administration had ever been essentially defective, was quite evident from these reports;
but they did not furnish data sufficiently precise and full to be made the foundation of a
positive estimate of their real future value under good management, or of a detailed state-
ment of the system best calculated to secure from them ineir full value for the public
service.
Under this feeling, early in August, I prepared a series of blank forms of tables, to be
filled up by the commissioner of the estates ; from the returns indicated by which, if fully
and faithfully made, with the aid of some further oral examination of ihe commissioner
and his agents, the required information mij^ht, as I hoped, be gailiered. The paper marked
(D.) accompanying this report, is a copy ol iliat sent to the commissioner.
It will be perceived from the form in which these bliinks were drawn up, that a certain
order of arrangement was pointed out in them, us the one best adapted to the objects of the
inquiry. A glance at the returns, as they were actually furrnahed [we accompanying papen,
marked (A.), (B.) and (C)] will show that this prescribed order was, in. very many pariieelare,
altogether departed froru, and that several of the inquiries remain in consequence un-
answered.
To speak only of one of these deviations for the present. Returns were b. 'ed for, in
which certain apeciiied particulars of information should be given, — first, as to ti.e several
scignioric!) which formed part of the eatates,— next, as to the other properties forming part
of the estates, from which revenue was derived, — thirdly, as to those properties from which
no revenue was derived, — and, lastly, as to the expenses of the commissioner's office (which
being of a eeneral character, could not be made to enter into any of the pievions partial
returns), and the annual balance sheets of the estates. This distinction between the varions
kinds of properties was made designedly, on account of the confusion created in all tha
returns furnished to committees of the House of Assembly, by the unsystematic manner
in which the properties of all kinds were continually classed together in ihem. Mo regard
was, however, paid to it; on what account, whether intentionally or not, I have no means
of judging. Tlie returns, as will be seen from the statements lo be made presently, came
in so irregularly, and many of them so late, thot it whs impossible to have them altered in
this particular, or indeed in any other. It will be seen, also, that they require many cor-
rections on other points, to make from tl»em a statement of the afiiurs of tlie estates, which
shall be at all accurnu-.
The period of libie covered by tho«e of the inquoMcs which had reference 10 yearly
receipts and expenses, was required to < nmence with 1 October 1831, when the estates
were first placed at the disposal of the , ovincial PorliawMmt, for the support of education.
In this particular, the return are in Torn though, fsmu s -nr having been called fur before
the expiration of the fina cial year, eiui n)T 30 Sepic»l»ef 1838, they extend only to
30 Sepicnibet 1837 i " period of six in&ieai '' seven ye«iii< These six years may, how-
ever, be very safely taken o afl'ord a fair avt, ge.
The statements, both general ond porticulai, uf the arrears d«>« on the estates, were re-
quired to be made out for i October 1831, iliu n-Tieof the ceisii 1 above named, and for the
present time. The returns iiiufess to laie liie an nrs for 1 Ocioiirr i83i,niid for 1 October
1837, for thesnme reason ; ilie fiuancml yearendu g 1 October 11)318, expiring while they
were in course of preparation.

S» APPEN DIX TO RBPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
The jnrW bdaoet iImcu of the cttatet, fcqoired abo of the eommiMiooer, were far-
Buhed by Mr. Caryi the impector of tlie publio accounu, in wboN haade they are
deposited for audit and lafe iieepiog. An abstract of them it annexed. [Sit paper,
marlted (A.)]
Of the 97 accompanying tablet, (A.), (D.) and (C.) returned by the commiwioner
of the etiatet, nine, being those marked (A. 4.), (A. 5.), (B. 9.\ (B; 3.), (B. 4.),
(B. 5.)( (B. 6.), and (B. 7.), were received at the office of tne Education CkHnmiMion
.during the month of Angut,— foarj being (hose mvked (B. 8.), (B. li.X (C. 7.),
and (C. Q.)> in September/— 13, beii^ those marlied (A. 1.), (A. !.)> (A. *.), (A. o.),
(A. 7), (B. Q.). f B. to.), (C. 1.). (C. «.), (C. 3.), (C. 4.), (C. 5), and (0. 6.), in October,
— and one, being that marlted (C. 8.), on the 3d of November. A refeienoe to the uUea
will show, that tboseof them in which the greatest departure is made from t^? form prescribed,
and of the number not received till October, when it was altogether too late too require alteriH
tions made, omissions supplied, or obvionc iuaecnracies even (and of these there are not «
ftw) corrected. Hie same cause also prevented that careful compariaon ot them with
the retnma furnished at other times to the House of Assembly, and that exnminatioa of
the eomminioner and his agents in regard to them, both cf which were so much the more
necessary 00 account of theii iuformality and incompletenesa. His Excellency's return to
England wai decided upon, and the Education Commiuion charged to pat at once into
form the outline at least of a general system of education for the province, before the most
important of them wereobtaiuM ; iadeed, his Loidship had left the province before the series,
snch as it is, was completed. Occupied, of necessity, both before and after the receipt of
theae October returns, upon other branches of the extensive inquiiv with which the com-
mission was charaed, it was obviously imp«)tsit!e tp complete tne miunta «xaminatioot
necessary to the full investigation of this particnhr subject. It was not in my power to
have more than two or three interviews wiin the commissioner of thti eotates, and at these,
though they extended over several hours, the subject was so panially and hastily discussed
(owinc to the multiplicity of the details it involves, the want of time, and the pressure of
other DusincasX as to render it impossible for me to take down his evidence in form, as
I had intended. On a variety of occasiona I had more or lem communication with a
number of otlicr individuals who had given considerable attention to the snlgect; but here,
too, the same cause prevented formal examination. Till the oommiuiooer'a full returns and
written evidence showd be in the hands of the commission, it was impossible to examine
other panics to advantage. When the returns came in, there was no longer time to ex-
amine the commissioner or any cme else. It waa not even in my power, for this reason,
to examine or confer with the four agents who manage the Jesuits Estates, nuder the com-
missioner, Mr. Panel, the agent for the properties in the district of Quebec, Messrs.
Dunionlin and Ocille^ for those in the dislnct of Three Rivers, and Mr. Henry, for tbosein
Uie district of Montreal. These centlemen probably know much more than the commisaioner
does, about the management ofthe estates, which is in effect placed almost wholly in their
hands. I preferred, however, on many occasions not to examine them till after the retumi^
they were preparing under his direction should be in my hands^ and the commissioner's
evidence in regard to ihemand the estates in general, given.
The report which follows must be taken, therefore, not as intended to present a full dis-
euuioo of the subject, but as a statement of the resulu to which I have been led by the
necessarily incomplete investigation of it, which I have above described and accounted for.
I may add, as another reason why my report cannot be rendered as complete as I had
wished, that I was nnable, when I left Canada, to brine away with me the various reports
of committees of the House of Aoembly, to which I have referreil. Vot every thing
beyond the notes I took from them while in Quebec, I have to trust to my own recollec-
tions. Nearly every statement, however, made in this report, rests either on notes taken at
the time of these documents, or of the answers of the commissioner to the inquiries I was
able to put to him, or else on the authority of the oommissionei's returns made to the
Eiducation Commission. The latter alone fomish ample material for a report; the
interrogations of tlie commission covering almost the whole ground to be gone over,
and the very errors and omiuions which abound in the returns being an evidence hardly
leu valuable than tlieir accuracy might have been- on the subjects of the inquiry.
I have arranged the .everal returns made by the commiuioner, in three sett, marked
(A.), (B.) and (C.) respectively. The first contitla of seven returns, vis.

In the return* composing the •econd and third sets, a distinction was required
drawn wherever " conceuiona" were to be spoken of, between the " old " and the "
giants of this character. These terms I understood to refer to the distinction between the
concessions granted bv the Jesuits before 1800, and those since granted by the Crown. A*
the retuma marked (C.) slano, 1 am unable to ascertain whether this is or is not the true
ground of diit':;iction between them. The date of each concession was required in tbeae
TCtums, but they are peculiarW defective in this particular. For the Seigniory of La
Prairie (C.9.), no such return of'^the old concession* has been so much as attempted, though
they comprise very nearly the whole extent of the seigniory. The return for Cap dela
Magdeieine (C. 8.) makes no distinction between old and new concessions, thougn both
daaae* of concessions have been made, and to a very considerable extent, in that seig-
niory. In the returns f^r the Seigniories of Sillery (C. i.), St. Gabriel (C. a.), Notre Dame
des Anges (C. 3.) and Belair (C. 4.), the old concessions are all left without date. And in
the return for the Seigniory of Biitiscan (C. 7.) (the only return in which date* are specified
for any of the "old concessions" as distinguished from the" new"), 416 out of 581 old
concessions are undated ; and the 155 which bear date, range between March 90,1666,
and Febroarys, t8s6; 118 of these being returned as conceded prior tot 800, and 37
between 1800 and 1826. Of the concessions, returned as '* new," the earliest in point of
date is found in the return from the Seigniory of La Prairie (C. 9.), being August 16, 1819.
Injhe Batiscan return (C. 7.), I find the earliest ot 387 " new concessions^ (all bearing
date) returned a* granted in 1834, either on February 31, or September la. (The former
date seems to be a mistake for " February 9i, 1834."^) Of these concessions, 375 are of
later date, and 11 3 of earlier date, than February 3, 1836, the date of the late«t " old
concession" above mentioned. In the returns from the Seigniories of Notre Dame des
Anges (C. 3.) and Beloir (C. 4.), the " new concessions" are all dated, and the dates range
from January 10, 1 835, to October 9, 1835. The alienation* of property incorrectly returned as
" new concessions" in the Seigniory of Sillery, bear Hate from December 1:3, 1831, to
' October 3o, 1834. The " new conceuions" in the Seisniory of St. Gabriel, 93 in number,
are Jl returned (C. s.) without date. It is possible that the old concessions differ from
the new, in hnving been surveyed and laid out for concession before 1800. If this be not
the case, the distinction must be arbitrary, and is probably different in ita meaning in
different seigniories. From the late receipt of this clau of returns, I never hud an oppor-
tunity of putting this qnestion directly lo the commiasioner ; but I am strongly under

had wislicd to arrive at and eKbibii. shown, so far as the retnrns woold enable me to
arrive aft then. The aceompanyiag doonments, marked (F.), (O.) and (H.) contain theae
uMes.
The tables narked (F.) are three in nnmber, and relate exdusively to those of the pioper-
ties forming part of tbe Jesniu' Estates, which constitnie seiniories.
(F. I .) shows the situationi, dimensions and area of each of these seigniories ; the extent to
which each has been surveyed ; the ezient of tlie Arriire Fief* granted from it, where any
there are ; the extent of live concessions, old and ne<* ; tbe disposition and extent of any
tiMU of land otherwise alienated than as Arri^re Fiefs or concessions; and the amoanta
of nnalienated and unturveyed land, respectively, still remaining in each seigniory. I
have been obliged to depart continually from the statements made in tbe rf.urn (A. i.)
(from which this table is in the main compiled), by the numerous contradictions manii'ast
on the face of that return. I cannot, therefore, suppose the table I Siive drawn upper-
Awily acenrate. It is as aoearate, however, as tlie character of the information furnished
the commission allowed.
(F. 9.) contains a variety of alatements and calcniationd relative tu the gross and net
receipts ttom tbe several alienated tracu of land or properties, within each seigniory, as
they are mentioned in (F. i.) Tlie extent of each alienation it staled in Muare arpents
(the arpent being a French measure equivalent to about four-fifths of u English acre),
Moording to the estimate in (F. 1.) and not according to the inconsistent and contradictory
return made in (A. 1.) For the amounts received and expended on account of ench, thie
papers marked (B.) are tbe principal authority. These relurus purport to give (he gross
reeeipts for six successive years from each source of revenue, and alto tbe several items of
eipeose on account of each property, the expenses of the commissioner's office alone not
indnded. In the table (F. «.) 1 mve divided tJie amount of this Utt item of expense for the
aame six years between tbe several properties, in the proportion of their gross receipts;
ahowiag by this meant the sum total of the eajMnses of management, inc. of each pro-
paity, and consequently the net revenue which it has actually yielded for that period.
From these data, ine avern'xe yearly income derived from each gross and nett, the average
yearly value per aipent of i ach tract, both grots and net, the average yearly rate of pay-
ment by each ceusiuire in each seigniorv, ilie average ratio of tite expenses on each pro-
perty to its grott receiptt, and leveral other particulars are calculated.

§• each aeigniory, and in estimated grow revenue as thown by (A. 7.) and tbe returns
marked (C.) The increase or diminution of the arrears due on each is nlito set down hero;
ist, as reported in (A. 6.) and tbe returns marked (C); and ad (where that haa been po^

At iht period of (be caMion of Cmade, in 1765, the order of Jcteiu wne in poewuion
of a samber of leignioriet and other properties in diflereat parts of the province, of sreat
•ateat and considerable Talue. Thejr Iwd housea of residence ia Quebec, Tlwee Riveis
aad Montreal ; their residence in Quebec being the lar|^ building now nMcl as a barrack
in the apper town, and still one of the most extensive buildings in Lower Canada. In tbU
bailding was their chief residence and colleae. Their other property was scatterao over
the province ; four seigniories, of considerable siie and value, besides a fifth of liiite or
F, and seversl taluwlc tracts of land, in and near the cit)|r of Quebec* belonging to
them, within the district of Quebec ; two of the largest seigniories in the province, and a
great part of the town of Three Rivers, being tleirs ia the district of that name; aad
a small property in the city of Montreal, with two large seigniories (one of tliem, liowover,
oaly held in trust for the Iroqnois Indians), beinc ia their possession in the district of
Montreal. Of these properties, the greater part had been given or bequeathed to them ;
a oooiparatively small portion had been purchased. The whole had been confirmed 10
tbem in mortmain, by letters patent of ttM French King, his Kovernors or intendants in
the province. In the official documents by which their tille was thus confirmed, the
object of the endowment was in almost every instance stated to be the maintenance of
their college, and the instruction of the youth of Canada by their order. The origind
bequests or deeds of gift, in many instances, gave other motives ; the conversion of the
beathen, friendship for the Jesniis, fcc. The royal letters patent, however, explained the
wFnole as above slated ; the Jesuits appearing to nave reauesied this form of confiimatioa,
oa aeconnt of the tenor of their vowa of poverty, ana the consequent necessity of their
holding all their possessions under this pretext.
In the articles of capitalation by which Caaada was temporarily ceded by the Freaek
General, an attempt was made to introduce a guarantee for the continued OMinienance of
thia order ia the province, and the perpetual posscMion bv tbem of their estates. This
proposal of the Marquis of Vaudreuil was, however, set aside, and no such guarantee given
or implied, either in the capitulation or in the treaty of 1763, by whidi the coantry wm
finally ceded to Great Britain.
Notwithstanding this refasal, however, to recognise the ordf r, the Jesaits remained ia
the undiatnrbed possession of most of their property for many yeara. A part of their
college building in Quebec was taken possession of by the government, as a public store-
house, immediately alter the conquest, and continued to be used for this purpose till 1776^
when the greater part of the building was taken possession of as a barrack, a use to which
the whole building has been devoted since the year 1800, when the last sarviring member
•f the order died. A part of the mission-houae, in Montreal, waa also occupied as a
pvUic prison, before the death of its last mmate, and the wholie building was converted
into a prison on that event. In the year 1774, royal instructions were given to the
Governor for the suppression and dissolution uf the order of Jesuits; "all their rights,
privileges and property" to be vested in the Crown, " for such purposes as the Crown
might hereafter think fit to direct and appoint." The royal intention, however, was at
the same time declared to be, " that the present members of the society, as estsbliihed at
Qnebec, should be allowed sufficient stipends and provisions during ttieir natural lives."
la point of fact, the Jesuits were allowed to continue in the possession and management of
their productive estates, and to draw from them the " stipends and provisions" promised in
these instrnctions in lieu of them. Father Well, the last survivor of the Jesuits resident in
Montreal, administered the properties in that district till his death, and Fathers De Olapion
aad Casot (the latter not himsrlf a Jesuit) those in the district of Quebec, till the death of
the former. Shortly after this event, via. on the 8th of March 1800, the Crown took
vnicserved possession of the estates, and they have since remained uniier its management.
Tbesuppressionof the order of Jesuits in France took place in the year 1763, and in
Italy in the year 1773. The possessions of the order were, in the former country, at once
devoted to the suppoit of instituiiuns of education; in some cases, to the support of the
cofleges originally founded by the Jesuits (but then placed under other government) ; in
other cases, to that of schools and colleges which had never been under their control.
From the year 1770 to the year 1^03 a claim was under discussion, urged by Lord
Amherst, for a royal grant to that nobleman of tliese estates, or the greater part ot them,
as a mark of royal acknowledgment of his services in tlie reduction of C<anada. After
repeated references to the Privy Council and to the Law Officers of the Crown, brth in
£nglaad and Canada, and more than one order in council enjoining the Governor of
Canada to issue, or the Law Officers to prepare, a deed of gift, conferring them, with one
or more reservations, on his Lordship, the project was at last abandoned in 1803, after the
death of the original claimant ; and the claims of his son and heir were met by a grant
voted him by the Imperial Pariiainent in that year. In the coarse of tliese discussions, a
commission was iuued by Lord Dorchester, then Governor of Canada, on the 7th of
January 1788, in obedience to an Order in Council, to inquire into the extent, value,
tenure, Sic. uf the esiaies, with a view to deciding whether and by what means the proposed
grant could be made. The report of the commission, though liar from complete in point
af information, and indeed not even unanimous, was idtogether in favour of the grant,
a result which was to have been expected. The report of the Attorney and Solicilor-
generiil of Canada, made at the same time, was to the same tenor. Subsequently rancd
objections, however, defeated the project.
During iliis peritMl several attempts were made bv parliea in Canada to obtain from the
Ciown a grant of these estates, for the support of education within the povince.

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
Id dM year 1787, the legnlaiive conncil of ibe proTinoe, on the soggMiioa of Lord'
Dorchciter, then CraTemor^enera), oppoioted ■ committee to inquire into the neani of
advancing education, lie. The report of the committee waa made in 1789. For the
Mctent parpoM, we have to do only with 10 much of it as relatea to the Jeioita' ettalea.
In a letter from the Roman Gatbolic Biiihop of Quebeo, dated November 18, 1789,
•ddretacd to the committee, and paUitbed in their report, that prehle urged the propriety
of again devoting the college-bnilding in Quebeo to educational purpoaea, of endowing the
new institution to be thus opened with these estates, and placii^s it, when thus endowed;
first under the control of the surviving Jesuits, fur their lives, and then under that of the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec, as the head of the Catholic Church in the province.
The committee in their report, dated *6 November 1789, recommend that a portion at
least (and it is to be inferred a considerable portion) of these estates be given as an
endowment, to aid in the erection of a proposed " Colonial College," of the constitution of
which they present an outline. According to this scheme, the college was to have been
constituted on the most liberal principles. Catholics and Prote»tanu nrspectively to provide
each their own system of religious instruction for the students of their own communion;
the corporation to consist of an equal number of members of each communion, and the
visitation to be vested in the Crown.
On the 3tst of December in the same year (1789), Father de Glapion, the titular supe-
rior of the disMlved order, proposed by letter, on his own part and that of his three
surviving fellow Jesuits, to make over the estates " for the benent of the Canadian citinns
of the province of Lower Canada," with the reservation for themselves of a residence within
their former dwellings, and a life pension of 3,000 livres each per annum, and on condition
that the estates so made over should for ever be applied to educational purposes under the
direction of the Romam Catholic Bishop of Quebec.
Early in the year 1793, during the £rst session of the Provincial Parliament of Lower
Canada, created by the constitutional Act of 1791. a petition, signed principally by per^
sons of British origin, was presented to the House of Assembly from the city' and county
of Quebec, praying the House to ur^e upon the Crown the propriety of giving up the
esutes to the disposal of the provincial iesislature, for the support of education in the
province ; a destination, it was urged, which would, more than any other, be in accord-
-ance with the design of those who endowed the order with these possenioos, and the
spirit of tlie letters patent of the French King, which confirmed them to the order, for
educational objects onlv.
On the 11th of April of the same year, the House adopted an nddresoto the Crown,
embodying the aobstance, and urging the prayer of this petition. No answer was given
to this address; the project of granting the estates to Loid Amherst being the one then
favoured by Government
During the session of the Provincial Parliament held in the year 1800 (the year in which
the final occupancy of the esiat<^ by the Crown took place), ilie Houae of Assemby again
took up the subject, and voted an address to the Governor, praying his Excellency to
communicate to the House certain documents, <* to fiicilitate the investigation of the claims
and pretensions of the province, on the Jesuits' College converted into barracks,
and to the estates of that order, tec." His Excellency's reply informed the House,
"that in consequence of the address of the House of Assembly, of the nth of
April 1793, the claims of the province bad been considered by his Majesty in Council,
and tiiat the result of that consideration had t^-itn an order to take posaesiion of those
estates for the Crown. Tliat if, alter thi.. tfA|<ianation the House should deem it advisable
to investigate, they should have access to the documents required ; but any further appli-
cation on the subject might be inconsistent with the accustomed respect of the House of
Assembly for the decision of his Majesty, on matters connected with his preroga-
tive." No further action was had in consequence of this reply on the subject for several
years.
Since the final occupation of the estates by the Crown in 1800, their administration has
been vested by a series of commissions ; first in a board of five commissioners, holding
office during pleasure; some years afterwards in a board of eight, and then in a board of
six ; and, hully, in a single commissioner, the Honourable John Stewart, who still holds
that office, and who had been a member of the board for several years before he be«
came sole commissioner. The successive changes which have taken place under the
several commissions which have been issued, and their dates, are not material to the pur-
pose of the present report.
The revenues of the esutes during the interval between this period and the year 1831,
(when they were surrendered to the Provincial Parliament for the support of education),
were appropriated by the local executive ns . part of the properly of the Crown, and no
report as to the mode of their application was made public.
In iSi 3, the legislative council voted an address to tlie Prince Kegent, praying for the
devotion of these estates to the support of education. The address was sent down to the
Assembly for concurrence ; but, owing probably in a great degree to the pressure of
business and the excitement growing out of the war witn the United States, then just
commencing, it was not then acted upon. The address does not appear to have been
noticed by the government ; in part, doubtless, from the same cause.
From this tiibe till 1834, little was done on this subject. In the session of 1814, how-
ever, n special committee of the House, appointed for the purpose, aubmitted a long and
elaborate report, setting forth the pioceediiigs cunnecied with the suppression of the order
of Jesuits, both in France and Canada, and urging the unreserved devotion of the estate*

The report wu concurred in by the Awembly.
1» the Miaion of 1895-6, the diicottion of the lubject wai again reaumed, and another
r;ial conmittee naned, to inquire into the kindred topics of the Jesuit** estatea and
■tate of education in die province. In accordance witn the report of that committee,
it waa rcaolved, on the aoth of March i8a6, to addrcM the Crown anew, in behalf of the
daina of the provincial parliament to the revennea of the etutes for the advanvement of
education. To this addrcts no answer was nade.
In 1897 a variety of conplaints urged by the House of Assembly of Lower Canada were
laid before the Imperial Parliament, the disposition and management of the Jesuits' estatea
being among the number of " grievances" complained of. The Canada committee of the
House of Commons, in 1898, reported in favour of the application of the proceeds of
the catatas " to the purposes of general education."
In the month of Match 1851, resolutions were anin adopted by the House of Assembly
of Lower Canada, complaining, among a number of other things, of the continued with-
holding of the Jesuiu' estates from tbu use and from tlieir control ; and another addresa
to the Crown was voted, embodyiuff all these complaints. A despatch of Lord Goderich
(thenColonialSetiretary), dated 7th July 1831, and containing the reply of the Govern-
ment to the demands urged in this address, concedes, at least on this point, almost all that
the Assembly had demanded. By this despatch, the future revenue of the esutes was
placed at the disposal of the provincial legislature for the support of edacation, with a
recommendation only to the House, in favour of the continuance of a provision to those
" scholastic esublishments" (the' grammar schools of Quebec and Montreal) which bad
up to that period been sustained by its means, in this cession of the estates^ however, the
Jesuits* College was not included, except upon condition of the erection by the province
of " adequate barracks," for the accommodation of the troops which had been for so many
year* quartered there.
A number of other measures were proposed to the Assembly by Lord Goderich, for the
aettlemeat of the controverted questions of the civil list, &c., out of the agitation of which
the addreas of the Assembly had had itt origin. To these the House did not assent. The
surrender of the Jesuits' estates alone was ratified by a legishitive enactment of that year,
the 9d Will. 4, c. 41 . By this law it is enacted, that from and after the date of its passage,
" all monies arising out of the estates of the late order of Jesuits, which now are in or
may hereafter come into the hands of the recei er-generai of this province, shall be placed
in a separate chest in the vaulu wherein the public monies of the province are kept, and
shall be applied to the purposes of education exclusively, in the manner provided by this
Act, or by any Act or Acts which may hereafter be paMed by the provincial legialature,
and not otherwise." llie Act then proceeds to appropriate, for the next year only ; i, t.
till October 1, 1839, the following sums:—
For the expenies of nunagement of the estates :
The commiiaioner's salary ..... £.180 sterling.
Allowance for clerk hire ..... 00

Allowance for house rent ..... 54

In all, 894I. sterling, or 993/. 6$. 8<f. currency; the " pound sterling" of the law being
that in which the receiver.gr!ierar* accounts are kept (9/. sterling equalling loL Halifax
currency), and not the true " pound sterling " of English money. The above amounts
were all copied into the Act from the esiimaies proposM, and are the amounts which had
for some time previous been allowed from tlie estates for those purposes respectively.
The Act, of which the above is an outline, was adopted by the House on the recom-
mendation of a special committee, to which s«> mucli of I^rd Goderich'* despatch as
related to the estates had been referred. That committee accompanied their Bill with an
explanatory report, which wos adopted by ihe House, and to which I shall have occasion
hereafter to refer more than once. On the lubjec-t of the retention of tlie Jesuits' barracks,
this report proposes to the House no immediaie action, but expresses the confident anti-
cipation that " the justice of hit Majcity's government " will ere long complete the resti-
tution of the estates, without insisting upon a condition, a compliance with which on the
jiart of tiio province would exhaust the revenues of ilie esutes for several years.
Appendea to the report of the committee on the Journals of the Houte is an abstract
(drawn up apparently by tome member of the committee) of the accounts of the estates
for the 31 years from 1800 to 1831, as reported to the committee on this occasion. It is
not easy to reconcile tome of the ttateinentt made in this abstract with the content* of
other papers embodying official inrormation on the subject. I was not, however, able to
give to this purt of the inquiry a sufficient amount of time, to feel warranted in positively

Mr. Sewell), as chaplain of tlie church ol the Holy Trinity in Quebec.
On the sultject of the balance in the receiver-general's hands at the time of the
surrender of the estates, the- account given in this table is > 4 reconcilabk', so fares I
can see, with tha given on the books of the receiver-general. The latter (as may be seen
from the accompanying dociiment marked (E.) state it to be 8,03o/. i6«. 3d. sterli'^g, or
8,81a /. o*. 3ii{. currency. This sum, I presume, is the correct one.
The provisions of the ad Will. 4, cap. 41, were in several particulars disregarded or
contravened. The monies received from the Jesuits' estates were never placed by the
receiver-general in a separate chest, as required by the law, but have continued, as before,
to be depmited with the other public revenue of the j>rovince, a separate account only
being kept 10 show their amount. The clause prohibiting the expenditure of any part
of the balance at any time accruing from the Jesuits' estates for any other than educa-
tional objects was also set aside by the transfer on the aad of September 1838 (by order
of the covernor, signified in a letter from Colonel Craig, then civil secretary, to the receiver-
general), of 7,1 64^ 16*. 4 id. currency, from the amount credited to the Jesuits' estatei,
to the general revenues of the province. The circumstances under which this transfer was
made, and the defence set up for it (apassage in Lord GodTich's desnalcb of 7th July 1831),
will require fuller consideration in another part of this report. 1 shall there endeavour
to show, that however undeservine of blame the order may have been, it was clearly a
contravention of ihe law, and that the transfer in question ought accordingly to be reversed,
and the 7,154 /. 15*. 4i<i currency again-set down as belonging to the educational fund
of the province.
The appropriations madt. by the above Act Of 1838 were, as has been stated, for one
year only ; no subsequent enactment has been passed on the subject, so that the revenues
of the estates have been accumulating in the bands of the receiver-general since Octo-
ber I, 1898; tlie allowances to the two grammar schools ceased ft that date. The
expenses of the commissioner's office have continued to be paid to ihe same amount as
betiare; not, however, as before, by warrant drawn in due form upon the receiver-general,
but by the commissioner himself, out of the monies received by him, before paying over
the baliince to the receiver-general. This course is defended by a reference to the terms
of the commission by which that oflBcer was appointed, and which empowers him to p^y
out of the receipts of the estates all necessary expenses of collection, tic. It received
also at the time the sanction of the executive government, though there can be no doubt
the majority of the House of Assembly intended, as one consequence of the non-renewal
of their appropriations from this fund, to have reduced the commissioner of the estates
to the position of the other public officers during the period of the stoppage of the
supplies, and, if possible, to have obliged him to resign his office in consequence.
During the stormy sessions of the provincial parliament which followed the year
1831, u standing committee of the House was constantly occupied with invesi.^gauoqs

Cap. III.
Gbhbbal View of the Charactbb, Extbnt, Valub and Manaobment of <he
JeBUITB' EtTATBa.
It is hardly necessary here to mention that in the early settlement of Canada, eitenaive
tracta of waste land were granted to certain individuals or coBmaoities. to be held by them
of the Crown, by the tenure commonly called feudal as it then prevailed in France. The
aettlement of the eonntry was to take place, in a great measure, tlirough their insuunent-
ality. By ihedeeda which constituted them seigniors witliiii and over their new possessions,
they were required to "concede" them in turn to others, under certain restrictions of
quantity and price, prescribed in part by law and custom, and in part by the terms or the
original grant. Those to whom land was thus "conceded" by the seigniors were held
bound to pay him a small irredeemable yearly rental, in money, productions of the soil,' or
both, varying ir. amount in different cases, but never amounting to more than a very trifling
impost on the land conceded. Besidea thia yearly payment of " cens et rentes,* the
seignior had alsoaright,in case of the sale, by any ofnis censitaires,of landsooouccded.to
a mutation fine (called a " Lods et ventes ") of one-twelfth part of the purchase-money. He
■lone had the right to erect mill* in the seigniory, and ail his censitaircs were bound to use hia
nills on certain terms. A pact of the seigniory be could reserve from concession, ior
himself, as the " domain " or seignorial residence and farm of the seisniory. He night
also concede a;iy portion of hii« seigniory as an " arri^re fief ; " in which case the hulder of
anch fief atood in much the same relation to himself, as that in which he stood to. the
Crown, and granted concecsions from it to censitaircs holding under him.
Such in few words, and omitting all that is not necessary to the undersunding of the r^
■larlu to be made upon the management of the Jesuits' Eatates, were the leading outlines of
the system. In iu details, the cmie of law introduced into Canada by, and essentially in-
terwoven with, this inode of giauting land, is complex in the extrenie. The Crown has its
fights over the seignior, as well as the seiffniorover the censitaire. The seignior has some
other lesser rights over the censitaire, which are more or less a consequence of those
already named. There are further several different tenures by which land may be held of
a seisnior, &c. These, however, are all matters which require no discussion here.
An the land granted in Lower Canada before the conquest was disposed of in this
manner. Since the conquest, a comparati vel v small quantity only has been to granted, except
within the limits of the seigniories erectetl before that time- A considerable portion of
some of these seigniories still remains wild and unalienated on the seigniors' hands.
At the time of the conquest, the order of Jesuits was in posseuion, aa has been already
■rated, of nine seigniories, besides some other properties not constituting seigniories, most
of which were situate in or near the three towns of Quebec. Three Rivers, ud Montreal.
One of .hese seigniories (that of Sanit St. Louis, in the district of IVontreal) had been
placed in their hands only as a trust for the use of the Iruquois Iti' '■>-...», and was, therefore,
soon after the cession of Canada, restored to the Indians as its rightful owners. The re-
maining properties, with the exception of some alienations* of smai' extent, either by royal
grant in favour of public institutions, or by occupation on the part ^f tlie Government for
public uses, remnin, In point of extent, as in the time of the Jesuits. These alienations
Kill come under consideration when speaking in detail of the several properties forming
the estates, and the management, value and disposition of each. For the present I proceed
with the general description.

* There b an ambiguity in the use of this word " aUenatious,' which I would gladly avoid, could I think

used to signify aay such disposition of a pwrt of the cstateti ( wuother profitable or not) as withdrawn it, for
• time or peiuuutently, from the diroct control at the comnunaioner. In thia tenie, even the lands, mill*, tic
under lease, are for the time "alienated," though not unprofltably ; the "conceded" lands an pennaaently
" alienated," (inasmuch a* after the conccarion they aro no longer under the commissioiiei's eoutrol, and ax-
eept by lenlproceafor non-parent of duee, or by rc-purcbase, cannot be brought again hito ais haaJi^)

CranU to churches, &o. &c., and aniire fleis, are "alienationa also ; but in the stiictersenn of the term

Under one or other of the above heads, all tliat has ever belonged to the Jesuits in Lower
Canada may be classed, including as well the portions which are nom alienated, as those
Whiicfa are not.
The total extent of the above numed seigniories is little if at all short of 800/Km square
arpcdts, * i. c. is upwards of 1,000 square Eoslish miles. The seigniories in the district of
Quebec cover of this nearly 160,000 arp^.iiis ; tnose in the district of Thr'ie Rivers more than
58a,ooo ; and those in the district of Montreal, more than 56,000. Estimating the whole
at i/wo square miles, for the sake of round numbers, though this estimate is under the
truth, the proportion^ extent of the seigniories in each district will be nearly as follows : —
In the district of Quebec, about aoo square miles.
w Three Rivers 750 „
t, Montreal 70 „
Of these gross amounts of territory, in two oat of the three districts, a large proportion is
aa yet uooranted. In the district of Quebec, there are nearly 66,000 arpenis, and in that
of Three Rivers, nearly 438,000 arpenis, in this condition,— uncleared aud mostly unsnr-
reyed. Upwards of 500,000 arpenis, or five-eighths of the whole superficial extent of tlie
set'gaiories, is thus Tost to the estates; leavmg (on a rough estimate, as before) tlie
conceded or otherwise alienated portions of the seigniories to be thus stated in round
numbers :
In the district of Quebec, about 116 square miles.
„ Three Rivers 180 „
„ Montreal 70 „
The extent of the other properties it much less than that of the seigniories. Altogether,
they cover a little more than 3,000 square erpenti, aboot 3| square uiglish miles ; and of
this more than 3,750 arpents, or 3) square miles, consists of lands in the aeigiiiory of
Lattsun and Banlieue of Tliree Rivers, from which revenue can be drawn only as from so
much land in a conceded seigniory,— not quite so much indeed, since the dnit de banaUte,
or seigniorial right to the profits of grinding the censiiaire's grain crops, is not here
eqjoyed.

The above computation would leave a sum of 839I. 18*. lo^d.* as the diflbrence between
the estiasated yearly rental for tiie year >838-o, and the average uf estimated rental for
Ihe six years ending in 1837 ; a diflerence whicn is to be accounted for as tha increase of
rental drawn from newly-made cencestlons and the leased properties. This sn'u it, in my
opinion, above rather than below the mark; and the 1475/. computed average yearly
arrearage, for the aauie reasons, below it.
Tha results of these calculations, then, are as follows :—
Average yearly receipu from all sources, for the six years £.3,190 7 i Cy.
Computed average yearly increase of arrear (for do.) about £.1,375 " "
Computed average gross yearly renUl (for do.) about - £. 4,565 7 1
Computed gross yearly rental for 1838-9, about - - £.5^405 5 iii
About 30 per cant, of tha entire rental of the estotes would thus seem to have been
yearly falKng into arrear for the six years ending m 1837.

t' all sea have always been as remarkable for the largeness, as the gross receipts of the estates
have been for the smallnera of their amount.

legislative or executive, are nccestaiy to the realiiation of the greatest pouible ne^
revenue for this object.
To anawer, as fcr as I can, theae inquiries, it will be necessary to discuss—
1st. The extent, character and present management of each of the several pro-
perties belonging to the estates, as shown by ilie returns (A.), (B.) and (C.)
ad. The general character of the system of adaiinislration under which the estate^
are at present placed.
3d. The extent and value of the properties heretofore unproductive, and tha
measures by which they may best be rendered productive.
4th. The measures required to obtain from the propcities heretofore ptoductive their
utmost net value.
5th. The ateoont of arrears imw actually due on the estates, and the measures by
which so much of them as can be collected at all may be best and soonest lealiied.
6th. The amonnt of monies belonging to the estates accumulated in the pro-
vincial treasury aince if 31 ; and tlie measores to be adopted to render it a productive
fand.
7th. The general outlinea of the syslciri which should be adopted for the future
management of the estates, and the means by which the required changes can best
be introduced.
This order of arrangement I propose to follow.

Lawreooe, on the north banli. a little above Quebec, and the tide iinea run badk in a nortb-
weat direction, nearly at right anglei to the cooiae of the river. On lu iiortb-eaat or
Quebec tide, it !• bounded by the aeigniory of St. Michel, the property of the Qnebee
■eainary ; and on the louth-wcti, by the Migniory of Oodanrille. In (A. 1.) it U retnmed
as extending one league in front by one and a half leagiM* in depth, and containing tber^
fore 10,584 tquare arpenti ; the whole lurveyed, and too arpentt only of the whole reanain*
ing at the ditpoMl of the commiMioner.
Abbihb riiri.— Of these, according to (A. fl.), there are two(Monecanaad St. Unulc)^
thoogh (A. I.) makes no mention of tliem. Their total area it 819 arpenta. (All the arridte
fiefa were granted by tbe Jcauiu before the com|nesi.)
Lanoi BisroeBo or othbbwisb than as Abbibbb Fisn on CoNcBaaioNa.— (A. 1.)
■aakct mention oolv of a grant of four arpeots to a church under this head ; but in this
Ct of tbe return there are two errors ; 0rst, an omission to make anv report of tiie extent of
d leased with the covet mentioned in other retunit; and aeoondly, tbe return as " new
concessions" of 15a arpcnts of hind, which were in reality m»t " conceded" at all, but " sold
ra eomaM." To mention these three properties, then, in the order of their importance :
1. 1%* Cbeer. — A narrow strip of land along the river front of the seignio^ forma the
four Sillery coves, within which s considcnble share of the lumbering business of Quebec
is transacted. They are leased to as manv mercantile houses in Quraec, engaged in the
lumber trade. Tlieir extent I am unable to stale, in consequence of the omission to
return them in (A. 1.) The strip which forms them is quite narrow, extending a very short
distance only from high-water mark, and the bills rising behiod it almost close to the water's
edge. I do not know, therefore, that it is necessary to make any deduction on account
of them, from the 10,584 arpcnts ffven as the total contents of the seigniory. The " one
leasue by one and a half leagno^ of tbe seigniory may perhaps be made good without
incTuding ihem, and at any rate they cannot take oira great deal of it.
«. n* Lmd told m eoiutUut, is, as I learned by inquiry of the commissioner, a part
of the ^ domain" of tlie seigniory, originally reserved by tlie Jesuits. The whole domain
extended over 359 arpents, and of these, 158* were sold in nine lou of diflirrent dimen-
sions between 93 December 1831 and 13 June 1833. Tho remaining too arpents con-
stitnie the unalienated portion of tbe seigniory above-mentioned.
3. 3'Ar CShireA CTroii/.— This nant of four arpents is for the Roman Catholic parish
church of St. Foi. It was given Ey tbe Jesuiu among the earliest of the alienations made
in the seigniory.
Thb Cohcbssions in this seigniory are all old conceasions, made hy the Jesuits, and
they extend over ail the remainder of the seigniory. In (A. 1 .) they are relamed as covering
10,380 arpents, neither the 153 arpenu sold from the domain, nor the 819 arpents forming
the ut'iin fiefs, nor the extent (if any) which should be taken off for the coves, being
taken into account. Supposing, however, ilie seigniory lo cover 10,584 arpenis, exclusive of
the coves, the utmost extent we can give tliese old concessions is 9,409 (and not 10,380)
arpents.
The seigniory then is thus divided : —

The returns nowhere make any distinction of gross ond net, at regards the extent of tbe

extent of land now held by each ceniilaire, all whioh pariicolan wcro called for. Tht
yearly rental of each of the 77 centitairet it tpeoifted. and at ilie aoiottnlt vary very
contiderably, I conclude that the quautiliet of land hen by them vary alto, and tnal tho
litl it a mere litt of centitairet, drawn up without any reference to the original conoettion
limitt. with the amount of rental of each holder at it ttanda on the ageni't bookt, and the

The actual coUtctiont, however, made in the tix ycart have been much larger than ihia

From ibit it appean that the wholf* amount joaid in on tbete properliet averaget a little

tute, it will be remembered, an irresular charge, incurred only when an ettaie it told.
The great comparative amount of loot et venlea in thit teigniory it owing to teveral
cautea; the nearnett of the teigniory to Quebec, which at once raaket the land more
valuable and the talet more frequent than in moil teiBniorice, being tho principal.
It it obviout, that if the turn* above given at the yearly rental of thete concettioni,
and the yearly receipt of cent el rentet from them, be correct, there mutt have resulted
a decreate of arrear on this account in the courte of the tix yeart :

This discrepancy cannot be accounted for, except by tupposing the reinrnt of arrears to a

evidence, in exomining tlie accounts of aoine of the other seigniories. In the present
case the amounts are trifling ; but the error is material, as a proof of the want of any

It it hardiv necessary to criticise this account. It cannot be supposed that if, with a
Cynent of 810I. 8<. "jd. in the six years ending in 1837, a further sum of 185^ 7s. 2^d.
• ran into arrear, ilie whole amount of arrear incurred prerious to 1631 should be one
Mm due from a single censiiairo of 1 5 /. !
The expenses directly chargeable upon the concessions are, the ageot'a charge of 10
per cent, on the collections, and the apportionment of the expenses ot the commissioner's
oflce, 1 ffigs per cent, upon the same ; in all, 81*693 per cent.
By this deduction the average net receipt from the concessions is brought down to tbt
rate of 3'i7if. currency pei arpent yeaiiy.
III. Lands othkrwisb alibmatbd tbam as Arbibre Fibfs or CoRCBaaioRa.—
Of these, first in order are —
1. nU Four Coves.— These form by far the most Talunble property belonging to this
•eigniorv ; at present (see A. 3.) two of them rre leased for 150/. each rer ,annnm, the
present leases running for seven years,* and expiring 00 1st May 1843, out clogged with
an engagement for a renewal of the leases for 14 years more (till 1st May 1857), at the
rate of 30o/. per annum. A third cove was leased in 1836, by public auction, for 750^
Yearly, for seven vears, ending also on ist May 1843, and without any such engagement
n>r a renewal of the lease ; it appears, however, that the old lessee still remains in posses
sion, and contests the right of the new lessee, and the consequence is, that since January
1836 neither claimant has paid any rental whatever *ot the cove. The fourth cove is
leased for a term of 31 years, which ends on 1st May 1857, for 30 L per annum.
Much angry discussion has taken place as to the real value of these coves, and it
has formed part of the complaints of the standing committee of the House of Assembly
that they are very much under>let. The complaint, so far as appearances and the evidence
collected by this committee go, would seem well foundea; but for reasons already
I'.atcd, I have not been able to make such further inquiries on the aubject as would
justify me in expressing a positive opinion in renrd to it. It is apparent, however, that
very shortly after the cession of the estntes to ine control of the provincial pnrliaroent
(viz. in September 1833), the first and second coves were leased anew, by private contract,
for a period unprecedentcdly long (14) years in fact, from i83fl to 1857), and at a price
said by veiy many persons co oe far below their real value. The third oove, leased soon after
by public auction, brought a rental five times as great, though leased for a much
shorter te;m. How the fourth cove was let, whether privately or publicly, I do not
remember; the question is one which requires further investigation into all the circum-
stances of the case, and made on the spot, to decide upon it.
The actual gross receipu from the four coves for the six years are returned as 3,973/. 1 :.,
being on an average 495 /. 1 is. 8 d. yearly.
The arrears are thus returaed in (A. 6.) i
Due on 31 September 1831 > - - - £.300 - - Cy.
„ „ „ 1837 - - - - 750 - -
Increase of arrear in six vears -
£.450 - -
In (A. 3.) where the arrears due in 1831 and 1837 from each of the present lessees of the
coves are reported, there is no mention of any arreiir due at the former period. The 300/.,
it is therefore to be inferred, was an arrrar due in 1831, from a lessee who no longer
occupies a cove. It has been paid up. as is evident from the fact that th« whole 750 /.
due on 1 September 1837 was due upon one cove, No. 3, from its new lessee (or rather
claimant), under the lease of 1836, being one year's rental.
The estimated rental fur 1838-0, from the fuur coves, is 1,080 1, currency. Of this, how-
ever, a comparatively sitiall poriiun only is likely to be received, as (1 believe) the litigation
for the posseuion ot cove. No. 3, which should yield 750 /. of the whole, h still pending,
and no revenue is, for the time, drawn from it. Till 1843, the revenue from Nos. i, 3 and 4
cannot exceed their present amount - - - . . £.330 - - Cy.
And till 1857, they cannot exceed
£.430 - -
The expenses directly chargeable upon the coves are the same as have just been charged
upon the old concessions, 31-693 per cent, on the receipts ; vie. 10 per cent, for the agent,
and 11*693 for the commissioners office.
The average net yearly revenue drawn from them fur the six years
is thus reduced to - - £. 388 1 6*34 Cy .
3. Tk4 LandioUtm coMti'/u/.— These nine los from the domain were sold, as Mr. Stewart
stated in answer to my inquiries, at rales yorying from so/, to 33/. lOi. per arpent, interest
to be paid on the purchi se-money at the rate of 5 /. per cent, per annum. In (C. 1.) the
total amount of interest due yearly is returned as if,y. fj*. ivt^d,; showing, as the gross
amount

amount of capital payable for the whole, 3.100 1, i8«. pd., a result agreeing with this lUte-
ment, but showing at the same time that the lower price was the prevalent one.
Tb« actual groes reccipu,ap to 1 October 1837, have amounted only to43o/. i8(.& jd.
cnnency. How much of thia sum ia drawn from lods et vcnies, and now much is interest
paid on the purchase-money, does not appear, most of it is probably the latter.
The sum which is returned as having fallen into arrear ia very large, being —

- £.48] 8 8*5
Equivalent to more than three years' interest on the entire puichase'moaey, within a period
(averaging from the dates of the several sales) of less than five years from the date of sale !
The reto'us do not furnish anfficient data to enable me to test the accuracy of theae state*
aents ot arrear; they appear correct, and there is no reason to suppoae them otherwise, aa
the transactions on which they are based are all recent.
The expenses directly chargeable on this property are heavy. Besides the 31-693 per
cent, for agent's allowance and commissioners office, a further charge of 34-89 per cent.
Is to be made (viz. for repairs of roads, 88 /. 5 «. 9 d., and for surveys, 6a /. 1 «. 3 d., two
items of expense falling upon the domain), thus amounting in the whole to 66-583 per
cent., or very nearly two-thirds of the receipts.
3. The grant of four arpents for the St. Foi Church is unproductive.
Summary.
Besides the expoises above enumerated, and charged against the several producive
properties in this seigniory, there is returned an item of —
Miscellaneous expenses, amounting for the six years to • £. 71 15 10*5 Cy.
which does not appear to be chargeable in particular upon any one property more than
upon another. It may, however, as a common charae, be divided proportionally between
them, and thus divided ; it becomes a charge of 1-648 per cent, upon the gross receipts for
each. The total expenses of the several properties after this addition stand —

The total increase of arrear in the six years ia reported at 1,124/. i^*- cy-> ^n amount
which certainly is not exactly correct, though probably it is not very far wrong, and which
is 35*82 per cent, (more than a fourth part) of the actual gross receipts for that period.
Frooi this, it would seem, that of the whole amount which has fallen due in the six
years, more than 20} per cent, has been left uncollected, and more than 3ii per cent, ex-
p<-nded upon collection and management ; the net actual receipt falling more than 4i| per
cent, short of the grosa estimated income.
For the year 1818-9, the gross estimated revenue of the seigniory (exclusive of lods et
ventes) is set down at 1,455 <. >3'- S'75 <'' (^y-
It remains only to speak of the value of the 200 arpents of the domain, which constitute
the unalienated portion of the seigniory. This tract Mr. Stewart slates to have been valued
in 1831 and 1833, when the 153 arpents were sold at pretty much the price at which these
latter sold, — say 30/. per arpent. Real estate has since fallen so much in value, that
he states himself to oie unable now to assign any positive value to tlie unsold tract. It
might be worth 10/. per arpent, sold en con.; but he should think certainly not 15/. It
has been for sale ever since it was first set up in 1831, and has never had a price offered
fur any part of it at which it was worth while to sell it.

it to tuppote what it tufliciently improbable. The rate of concetsion can never have
diminished to onc-fourih of the original rate in any seigniory. If we suppose the amounta
to have been transposed in (A. 1.) ihe difiiculty is materially lessened, though perhaps not
quite removed. The truth it, that even 13,000 arpentt it rather too great an extent to
five to the new concessions. Divided into ^4 holdings, it gives more than 138 arpenit to each

In tablet (F.) and (G.) accordiujgly, I have made this altemtion, though not altogether lati*-
'ficd that it is all that is required. The extent of the new conccMiont itill appears too
large ; perhaps that of the old may be too small. On this point, conjecture is hopeless. We
assume the concessions then to stand —
Old concessions .... 95400 arpents.
l*** w .... 13,000 „
In all ..... 38400 ^
The land still rndisposed of is returned in (A. 1.) as amounting to 65,570 arpents, a sum
which (as usual) does not square with the other amounts siven in the return :— 05,564 is the
extent remaining after the deductions above-named have oeen made. This tract lies wholly
in rear of the seigniory, and only 1,334 arpents of it are as yet surveyed.
Tlic disposition, then, of the lands in the seigniory is as follows :—
Total extent, about 105.840 arpents.

veyed) about 65,564

concessions (old and new) and the mills. To.foUow the arrangement in tablet (F. 3.) and (F. 3.)
I. Abribre Fibps. — ^None.
II. Concessions.— Of the deficiency of nearly all the returns for the concessions, I
have already spoken. It will require to be borne in mind here, also,
1. Tlie old concessions I have set down at 35,400 arpents (perhaps more), occupied,
-according to (C. 3.) by 337 censitaires, and at a yearly rental ("cens et rentes*') of
77/. i8<. 3 d cy. The average yearly payment required of a censitaire, on this score, is
' thus only 4«. 0*18 <f. cy. (lets than a dollar), an amount somewhat lets than in the preceding
seigniory. The rate per arpent (if the 35400 arpents be correct) is higher, nearly j d. cy.
The actual collections, according to (B. 3.) have been —

From this it appears that the whole amount paid in yearly on these concessions has
averaged not quite ild.cy. {viS^d. — perhaps less) per arpent ; and from each centiiaire
7«.9'i4d.cy. The lods et ventes are liereaiouiceof revenue, rather lest productive than
the cens et rentes, a result very difierent from that shown by the accounts of Slllery.
At the above rate of collection of cens et rentes, at compared with the grots rental, it
it clear that there must have been an increase of arrear on ttiat account during the tix
yeart : —

Little more than one-third of the amount shown by the other returns.
2. The new concessions (estimated at 13,000 arpenu, or less,) are held, we have seen,
by 94 censitaires, at a yearly rental (cens et rentes) of 39 /. 7 *. 4*^ d. : at an average rental,
therefore, of 8 «. 4'sd. cy. each.
The actual receipts from them have been, according to (B. a.)—

The whole actual receipt thus falling a trifle short of ilJie estimated receipt from cens et
rentes alone.
The increase of arrear on cens et rentes is obviously great, though, as the concessions
(being " new") may have been granted some few of them since 1831 (the return (C. a.) it
will M remembered, furnishes no dates), it is not possible to rely with perfect confidence on
the result given by a comparison of the rental with the collections. That result may or
may not be a little too large.

More than this it cannot be,— it is less, if any of the new concessions have been
granted since 1831. Now the return (C. 3.) gives us the following statement: —

Almost half as much again as the amount which the other returns prove to be the highest
amount of increased arrear that can have accrued.
There is no attempt made to give any return of the arrears on loda et ventes, either for
the old or for the new conceuions ; nor are there any sufficient data furnished oa which
to found a satisfactory estimate on the subject
The expenses directly chargeable on the concessions are, as in the seigniory of Sillenr,
31*693 per cent. It will be seen, however, that this ^roentage requires to be considerably
increased, in consequence of the amount of " miscellaneous expenses" to be noticed
present!y.
III. — The Lands othebwise disposed op, viz.
1. The three mills, with their 370 arpents, are at present leased at a gross yearly rental
of 151/. 101. Cy. One of the three is an oat-mill. The leases are all for seven years. One
has fallen in since the return was made; another runs to 1843; and the third, that of the
oat-mill, expires in 1845.
The actual gross revenue from these mills, according to (B. 3.) has b«en —
For the six years ..... £.693 13 6 Cy.
Average per annum - • - - 115 la 1
From (A. 6.) it appears that in 1831 there were no arrears due on these mills; but that
on 30 September 1837 an arrear had accrued of 338 /. 16$. 6 d. Cy.
The return of the present rental is not sufficient to serve as a test of the correctness of
this statement ; but it shows that there can be no material error in it.
The expenses upon these mills are heavy. Besides the 33*693 per cent, for agent and
commissioner's oftice, tliere is a charge of 363/. 6s. lod. (37*97 per cent, on the gross
receipts) for " repairs" during the six years, which raises the sum total to the rate of (30*663
percent.; an amount which does not, however, include all the expenses incurred.
3. The Indian reserve, and
3. The church grants, are both of them unproductive alienations of territory.

Summary.
Beiidn the itemi of receipt and expenditure above enumerated and chargeable directly
to one or other of the productive properties in the aeigniorj, there nre leveral small snms
niumed in (B. 9.) as the proceeds of " proofs verbals, amounting altogether, in the six
years, to 1 9 ^ lit. 3d. Cy. As an offset to these collections, there are several charges of a
I'ke general character. These much more than balance the receipt above named, amounting
IB the six years to—
Roods and bridges ■ - • • • £.34 6 -Cy.
Surveys - - - - - -- 54 15 6
Miscellaneous expenses ---'37 149

- i.ii6 15 3
These expenses, together with the charge of 91-693 per cent, upon the 19/. 131.34.
collected, (for agent's and other expenses of collection and management,) must be taken
into account, in balancing the receipts and expenses of the seigniory and its constituent
properties.
It will be remembered, then, that, as in the preceding seigniory so in this, the real per
centage of the expenses upon the receipts for each property is somewhat heavier than is stated
io tlie table (F. 2.) owing to the additional charge ot these expenses. In this seigniory the
excess of aiiscellaneous expense over receipt is 1 16 /. 1 8 1. 6*54 d. Cy., being &g98 per cent,
on the total gross receipts of the seigniory. This sum, then, requires to be added to the per
centage before stated for the conceisioiu and mills. In the seigniory of Sillery the addition
of the inisrellaneous expenses made but a trifling difference. Here it is more importanC

The total increase of arrear within the six years is unasoertainable, as there is no return
made or attempted of arrears on account of lods et venies.
The increase of arrear on cens et rentes and on the mills can be ascertained, or nearly so.
The returns make it 462 /. t «. 9' id. currency. We have seen, however, that two out of
three of these returns are in error ; the return for the old concessions being considerably
iioder, and that for the new above the mark. Corrected, they give us a result of, perhaps,
a little less than 439/. 13 s. 4*76 '. being not far from 37 per cent, upon the actual gross
receipU for the period from those sources of revenue alone.
Exclusive, then, of lods et ventes, it appears that of the entire amount falline due within
the six years in this seigniory, 27*007 per cent, has been left uncollected, and 32*703 per
cent, (nearly) expended upon collection, management and lepairs ; the net actual revenue
thus falling 59*71 per cent, short of the gross estimated income.
For the year 1838-9, the gross estimated revenue of St. Gabriel, exclusive of lods et
ventes, is returned at 968 1. i5». 6*5 d. Cy.
For the 63,564 arpents as yet undisposed of, it is not easy to assign a value. About one-
fiftielii part of it only is surveyed. The unsurveyed portion of it is wholly in rear of the
surveyed part of the seigniory, according to Mr. Stewort ; and even the surveyed part lies in
rear of the conceded tract. According to this statement the nearest part of it should be
not quite live leagues and a half distant in a direct line from the St. Lawrence; while in
its remoter portions it extends above six leagues further back, with a breadth of one league
and a half tnroughout. Of its quality as good land or bad, I could learn nothing from
Mr. Sifvart, except thol the concession of some lands on the St. Anne's, lying quite far
back in tl\e ungrunted tract, had been applied for within the last two years " by a few indi-
vidual.." The application was refused, because the intermediate lands were not granted,
and it was not worth while to survey land so far back for so limited an extent of concession.
The small amount of surveyed l.:uu in the seigniory open to settlement Mr. Stewart stated
to be tlie consequence of the very trifling demand for land in that quorter, and the very
poor return from it if granted ; from which causes, taken together, it was not worth while
to expend money upon further surveys, to lay out land for concession.

and icpaiated from the St. Roch luburb only by the River St. Cluutlei. It frenU partly on

direction, the N. E line dividins i: from the »signior| ol° Bcauport, and the S. W. line
from that of Donainville. The land in rear ia laid out in township.
It is returned as extending one leagae in front by four leagues in depth ; and its pixMs

These may lie specified under three heads.
1. Three farms and a meadow (the " Meadows of Auvergne"). — ^The reiom (A. 1.)
specifies only one farm, the " Domain Farm," covering " 373 arpents." (A. 3.) returns
three farms, one of which is called the " Domain Farm," and is leased for seven years,
endins in 1845. It* extent is not ttated in (A. 3.) The other two farms, which are men-
tioned in (A. 7.) as well as in (A. 3.), have been sold en consiitui, bat ilieir extent is not
stated. Whether all three together make up the 373 arpents of the original " Domain
Farm," or whether the leased farm so calleil covers the whole, I have no means of judging*
In the ubica (F. 1.), (F. 3.) and (F. 3,), I iiave supposed the former, to keep as near the
returns as I could. The meadows of Auvergne, 38 arpents, are under lease for seven years,
endins in 1843.
3. For two mills there are returned as reserved 180 arpenls.
3. And four arpents have been granted for a Roman Catholic parish church in the
seigniory.

The old conceuions ...... 33,744 arpents.

All three amount* may eaaily be proved from the other return* to be incorrect. It i* not
equally easy so to correct them as lo make it certain that the results are perfectly accurate.
The alienation* already mentioned cover 3,981 arpents, leaving only 35,343 arpents for
the " cuncessions," instead of 37,744 arpenls.
Of the other two amounts, that set down to the new concessions is clearly set aside by
the return (C. 3.) in which their present holders are reported to be 47 in number, 34 -if
these holding 3,708 arpents only. The remaining 13 are entered at rentals which avermee
no higher than those of the 34, and the extent of their holding (though not reported)
clearly cannot raise the whole to kjuco. This number, it is evident, has been written at a
suess in (A. i.)> to make the numbers for once look upon the face of the return correct.
The Fief Grandpr^ having been omitted, its extent, with a lew arpents over (the four
arpents returned for the church), has been added in under the concession column, and
shared hap-haaard apparently between the old and new concessions.
I can make no better correction of these amounts than by allowing to the new conces
sions a grou extent of ......... 3,700 arpents.
A conclusion which is. I think, warranted by the return (C. 3.)

It is scarcely possible that the collections should have been so much more pnnctaal

these trifling arrears due at either of these periods; especially in view of the heavy
imounts of arrear on cens et rentes acknowledge to have been and to continue due
upon these very concessions themselves.

Hie expenses on these mills have much more than equalled the receipts { so that during
the six years, the estates have sustained a positive loss from them. The " repairs" alone
amount to 416/. 10s. ; 119* per cent, on tlie receipts. Allowing for the other charges to
be made on account of the receipts for expenses of agent and commissioner, the per centage
is raised to 140-693 per cent, besides "miscellaneous expenses* to be mentioned pre-

arrean on lods et ventes have either increased or diroini«hed so as materially to affect it.
If so, we have an increase of arrear, in the six yean, equal to 51*75 per cent, (or more
than half) of the entire grou receipts of the six yean ; and thus of the eniire amount which
has fallen due in that period, 34*109 per cent, has been lef^ aneollected, and 97*09 per cent,
more expended in collection, management and repain; the actual net receipts being

The next seigniory in order is that of Belair, or La Montague an Bonhomme.
Information m regard to this seigniory is contained in the returns (A. 1.), (A. 4.), (A. 6.),
(A. 7.), (B. 4.) and (C. 4.) It follows the seigniory of Notre Dame in the tables, (F. 1.),
(F.9.)and(F.3.)
Position, Extbnt,&c. — It lies in a westerly direction from the seigniory of St. Gabriel,
already described, being separated from it by the seigniory of Godarville,and is at some
distance back from the St. Lawrence, the seigniorv of Iwmaure or St. Augustin intervening
between them. Its front line is the rear line of tbis lastwiamed seigniory, and its rear line
is on the river Jacques Cartier. On the north-east the seigniory ot Godarville, and on the
south-west that of Poinle aux Trembles, form its aide-lines.
The return (A. 1.) slates this seigniory to be one league in front by two leagues in depth,
half the tise of Notre Dame, but rather larger than Sillery. In the warrant tor the occu-
pation of the estatet by the Crown oflBcen in 1800, 1 find iu dimenaiont set down as
*<one and a half hMgoes front by two leagues or thereabout in depth." It is to be pre-
sumed however, that on this pomt the return is correct. Of the 14,112 arpents returned
as the gross contents of the seigniory, the whole have been surveyed, and all but 210
arpents disposed of.

The whole actnal receipt from both loarcct of revenue falling a little ihort of the ettinated
revenue from one. The lodi et ventes, however, from the lituaiion, kc. of the seigniory
are worth little in tliis case.
The increase of arrear on the cens et rentes, it follows, though not very great, has yet
not been inconsiderable daring this period :—
The average yearly receipt has been - • £. 93 a 4*95 Cy.

The new concessions ara held by 71 censitaires, at a rental of 18/. g$. 9*35^, nearly
I d. Cy. ('9484.) per arpent, (uking fthe larger of the two numbers of arpents reported,)
and 51. 9'5a. Cy. on an average per censiiaire. Of the 71 holdings, 44 have been con-
ceded since September 30, 1831, between March 9, 1833, and July 9o, 1835,) and ay only
before that time.
For tile six years nothing has been collected on these concessions, either for cens et
rentes or lods et ventes.
The increase of arrear on cens et rentes is thus reported in (C. 4.) :
Arrears of cens et rentes on new concessions, on—
September 30, 1831 - - £.31 4 5-3507.
Ditto - ditto - September 30, 1837 - - 150 10 375

This relom, however, is obviously inaccurate. Had all the 71 concessions been held for
the six years (instead of onr having 44 of them held only from sf to 4^ years), the whole
six years* accumulated rental would have formed an arrear of nol > ... .» ...

The increase of arrear indeed should have been about - . - go - -
No account of arrears on lods et ventea it attempted for old or new concessions. On the
now, I presume, no lodt et ventet have ever accrued ; on the old, it it not likely Uiat in
the course of the six years they can have amounted to any considerable turn.
Tlie expentes directly chargeable on these concessions are, us uiual, 31-693 per cent, on
thv' receipts.

The total increai* of arrear in the tix yean cannot be exactly atceruined, owing to the
want of returnt of atrcan on lodt et ventet. Thete, however, probably would not materially
aflbct the retnlt.

ceipts of die teigniory for tha tix yeart. Taking thit ettimato we arrive at the condntion,
that of the entire amount which has fallen due in the tix yean, about 37 per cent, hot lun
into arrear ; and another a8 per cent, has been expended in collection and management,
showing a difference of about 65 per cent, between the groet duet and the net teceiptt of
the teigniory.
For the year 1838-9, the gnwt computed revenue of Belair (exclutive of lods et ventet)
it returned at 45/. 171. 8-a5«f. Cy.
The 910 arpentt not yet ditpoted of may be considered, Mr. Stewart tayt, at worthlen.
In fact, all the " new concetsiont" he itatet to be poor land, taken up by thote who hold
them, not for tetilement, but at wood-land. The fact of the non-collection of cent et
rentet on the new conceuioni it, I pretume, to be atcribed mainly 10 thit cauie.
S 5.-ISLE AUX REAUX.
The latt teigniory to be noticed in the diilrict of Quebec it that of hie aux Reaux.
It it meutioned only in returnt (A. 1.), (A. 6.) and (A. 7.). In the Ubiet (F. 1.). (F.3.)
and(F.3-), it followt next after Belair.
Thit property it hardly worth calling a teigniory, and indeed may almost be called an
unproductive properly. It it an idaiid in the St. Lawrence, below the itland of Orleans,
and containing only 336 arpenu. Mr. Stewart informed me that the whole itland wat long
ago grantetl in a tingle concettion, and that lodt et ventet had been paid upon it on the
taie of the concettion, thouj^i no payment of cent et rf Ptet had been made, he be ' eved, for
tome 30 yeart pan, on account of the impoitibility of collecting the trifle chargeable upon
it yearly, at such a distance from Quebec and the other properties.

Ita recorded dinieniioni are two league* along the St. Lawrence, by ao leagnat in depth.
With what degree of accumcy the two leagues nave been laid off. I have no information.
Tlie ao leagics in ihr other direction have never been memnred at all.
In (A. 1.) I « content* in K|uarr nrpentt are returned ai precisely 40 M^uare league*, vii.
383,340 arpenis, of which 70,054 (nearly 10 square leagues,a tract extending on an average,
tlierclure, hve Uagu«» into the interior) is surveyed. The unsurveyed remainder, with a
small part of the surveyed portion, remain* ungranted and unproductive.
Abribrb Fif.v.— An unnamed Arri^re Fief, held by the seignior of ChampUin, i* re-
turned in (A. 3.)> but omitted in (A- i.), where it ought alio to have appeared. It is
■ quarter of a league in front by one league deep, and conuina, therefore, 1,764 arpentt.
The pccnniarv return from it is nothing.
The Land disposed of otherwise than as Arri&re Fief or by Concession, is divided between
the following properties, of which 1 Rnd mention made in others of the retuma, thongh
not in (A. 1.) where they onsht also 10 have appeared.
1. Tile Domain Farm (under lease) is returned (in a first* draft of A. 1.) as containing
360 arpents, an extent, however, which I think include* another property besides this, to
be mentioned presently.
3. The Fonr Mills, retomed in (A. 3.) have (according to the firat draft of A. i.)a reacrrc
of lavan'^** attached to them.
3. Three Ferrie* arc returned in (A. 3.) as a source of revenue ; but I find no return of
the amount of land (if any) leased with them.
4. Saw Logs are also mentioned in the same way, but without any return of land for
them.
5. A piece of land, sold en conttitut, is alao returned in (A. 3.) and no mention made of
its extent. 1 presume it is in reality a part of the domain farm, and the leaaed farm above
mentioned the remainder. This conclusion is confirmed by tlie low price returned for the
one (160/. 101. pc/.Cy., yielding an interest of only 8/. o«. dd.) and the lowest rental (15/.
only) paid for the other.
Tb* CoMCBiiioMa are returned in (A. i.) at tbe following amounts: —
Old conoe**ioo* • ... - 41,078 arpentt.
New „ 85,361 „
In all
- 66.439
These amount* are copied from the detailed return (C. 7.) the only one of it* clats which
approaches ih« characler of a complete return, made in the form required.f
The unalienated remainder of the seigniory is estimated in (A. 1.) at <094)37 arpents;
but no reason appears why this number is given, as it doca not square in any way with the
other amounts returned. The remainder indicated by tbe reported extent of the preceding
alienated tracts is 313,553 arpenii. According to the return (A. 1.) it would seem a*
though another alienation of 3,61 5 arpents in extent (of which 9,349 arp«nts, or more,
must lie in tlie unsurveyed portion of the seisniory) had been omitted in the returns.
Possibly, a tract of this character may be leased with the saw logs; but the returns do
not in any other way vindicate any thing of tbe kind.
The
* Sec accoiDMuiyiiiK paper, marked (I.) The retam (A. 1.) m flnt rendered to the cemmtwina, stood, as is
then- stated, diffcnng in • few particulars from its prewnt furm. HariB(( remarked a number m its defects
{as pointed out in this report), I drew the attention of the commissioner to tlicm, and sumoled their cor-
rection. The retnm wasoltcrcd by hin, *o a* to read as it now doe* ; its errors and omasions, by tome
unaccountable misandenrtandinfr, being almost all left untouched ; and the few change* made, in almost
every iustanee (ss in tlic caw of this scigniorv), adding to their number. These cfaaDge* were mode only
a few days before the inquiries of the commission closed, too late for Ihrtber conference with the commis-
sioner OB the subject.
f These amounts ^>pear, on the fiice of the retom (C. 7.) to be the aetaal extent of the concessions them-
selves, and not the iraas extent of the tract they cover, roads, &c. included. In the preceding aeigniories,
the return is obvionsfr of the Utter cUm. I do not know that this is not, and thersfore nave nuido no allow-
ance for the supposed difference of the returns in character, in the tablm(F.1. 2.aiid3.) Ifthe66,439arpents

The revenneof thi( leigniory it derived from a number of tourcet.

The old concetiioni, covering 41,078 arpcntt, are held (C. 7.) and (A. 7.) by 581 cen-
I groN yearly payment of^ce
(P. i.)u 11'^ l. tj: 3d. Tne retumt (A. 7.) and (C. 7.) are ilightly at variance on this point,
•itairef, •abject to a grow
payment of^cen* et renies, which I have ttated in table
and thi* amount ii in a verv slight degree conjectural. ( A. 7 .) make* no distinction between
old and new cunceuiont, but merely reporu as follows :
Cens et rentes
39 1 minots wheat at 51.

ToUl

The following is the return in (C. 7.) : —

valued) argent - - - - - -i. 97-3
On new ditto - - ditto - • • 105 17 -
InaU
£, 309 17 fl besides apt mts. wheat.
It is, however, obvious, from a very slight examination of (C. 7.) tliat the former of thesa
two sums is the result of an erroneous addition, and that the mistake is one of at least to /.
At the top of the eighth paf(e there is summed up an apparently corrtct amount of
83 /. 3 «. 6<f. which is duly carried over ; at the foot of the ninth page, and corrKtIy carried
over to the tenth, is g8 /. 1 «. 10*5 a, ; at the foot of this page, the last bat one, is
87 /. 11 s. I'sd.; and on the lost page (on which there stand only 10 s. 9*5 <f. of additional
rental) the wnole is summed up at 97 f. o s. 3 d. ! Between the top of the ninth page and the
close of the table there is more thon enough rental entered in small sums to raise the final
sum total to 10/. beyond the sum total given. At the same time, where clerical errors so
evidently abound, it is useless to attempt an exact correction of tlie addition. The amount
given in (C. 7.) for the " new concessions " has the appearance of being correct, though here
also there are clerical errors discernible. I have added, therefore, 10/. to the total rental
of the concessions given in (A. 7.) and kept the amount assigned to the new concessions in
(C. 7.): thus—

According to this calculation the old concessions are charged to the censitairea, at a rate
of '671 d. Cy. per arpent, and on an average of 3 «. 1 1*45 d. Cy. a piece.
The actual receipts are thus stated in (B. 8.) : —

105 1. 17*., which is at tlie rate of very nearly id. Cy. ('954 dl Cy.) per arpent, and of
51. 6'64d. Cy. on an average a piece.
Th«! receipts for the six years have fallen very far short of this amount. They are thus

This mult cannot easily be tested by comparison of the rental with the receipts. About
one-tbird part of the 387 new conceuions appear from (C. 7.) to have been granted since
1831, and a few of them, indeed, since 1837. Taking this fact into account, the increase
of arrear, as above reported, would seem to be only a trifle less than the other returns indi-
cated. Two fifths, or rather lest, of the cens et rentes falling due have been collected.
The arrears of lods et ventes are returned as having increased to the following amount : —

aeigniories.

I . The domain farm (the whole or part of the 360 nrpenis reported) it leased for a term
of seven years ending in 1841, at a yearly renUl of 15/. only. During the six years, the
receipu trom it amounted only to 49/. 71. 6d,, beins at the rale of 8 /. 4 «. 7 d. yearly ; not
much more than half its present rental. In (A. 6.) the increaie of arrear upon it is returned
at of.!y 10/. g*. 6d., no arrear being due in 1831. Tltii lelum must be too low, unless we
suppose the rental to hove been raised by the present lease in 183^ from 5 A to 15/.
The expenses ou this iisrm havebecii quite heavy ; (B. 8.) exhibits a number of charges
for " fences, &c.," amounting in the six years to sB/. 6«. g'6</., 57*4 percent, on the
receipts.. Exclusive of its shsre 01 the " miscellaneous expenses," the charges on this
property amount to 70*093 per cent, on its receipt*.

(A. 6.) gives an arrear of 6/. 6 «. 8 cf. as due on 30th September 1837. This sum, I suppose,
is the arrear due on the fourth mill, the only one for which a determinate rental is paVable.
How far the shares exigible from the occupants of the other three have been faithfully
collected or paid in, there are no means of judging from the returns.
The expenses chareed are enormous. For " repairs, Sec." alone, there has been expended
in the six years gi8l 15*. 11*5 d-, 76*83 per cent, upon the gross receipts. With the
additional charges incidental to collection, &c. (the item of " miscellaneous expenses" not
included), we have an outlay of 98-533 per cent on the receipts.
3. The Three Ferries yield hut a very trifling revenue. Their aggregate rental is
returned at 3 /. tot. ; neituer term nor date of the leases by which they are held stated.
Their receipts are only to the amount of 4 2. 5 «. ; no receipts being returned, except for
the years 1836 and 1837. No arrears are returned, and the expenses are only those
inddeotal to the collection of the receipts of the seigniory in generaL
4. The Saw Logs are returned (A. 3.) as leased for ijl. 5*. yearly for seven years, but
neither the date of the lease nor that cf its expiration is given. The receipts for the
aix years (or rather for four of them, 1833, 1835, 1836 and 1837, apparently,) are returned
at3i6^. 16s. 4^., a much larger sum than the rental stated. No arrears are returned.
Besides the expenses incidentaTto collection, an amount of 6 1. 10*. 6d. (about three per
cent on the receipts) ia returned in (B. 8.) as expended upon this property.
5. The Land sold en con., which I suppose to be a part of the 360 arpents of the domain,
though not so returned, has been sold for 160/. 10 «. 9 d. currency, interest payable at five
per cent., and amounting therefore to 8/. o«. 6 d. yearly ; neither date of sale nor extent
of land returned. No receipts are returned on account of it for the six years. For
30th September 1837 an arrear of 14/. 5*. gd. is reported, from which it would appear
that the sale took place neatiy two years before; the expenses ore, of course, like the

The total increase ofarmr in the six yenrs is returned at 1,043 '• ^7 '• 7' id. currency.
IVe have seen, however, that the return of arrears on ceiis el rentes in the old conces-
eioM •howi an increase much beyond the trmh, and that die corresponding Ktnm for
<bc M» concessions shows an increase a little below the trath. Correcting these two
ctrats, as well as the data given will allow, the tum total is abont 750 L cmiency, m
amount requiring, probably, to be increased on account of oinissiona in the retom oP
arrears of kiids et venie*. This sua is about 89 per ceoL on the gross receipts Gar the aaie
period.
Of the entire amonnt then fkltmg doe on ilie six yean, it wonM seem that (at fhe
lowest calculation) obout 33} per cent, has been left nocoHected, and 48 per cent, moic
expended in collection, mr.nagemeni and repairs, the net receipts of die seigniory being
leu than 30 per cent of its gross revenue.
For the year 1838-^, the gross oMipated levenoe of Batiscan (exclusive of lods et
ventes, and computing the rental of the mills at the average of the six yean fion
1831-7) is returned at 496/.
Of the vnlne of the 30 square leagues or more (ont of the 40 leagocs oonstitiitiiig dm
seigniory) from which no revenue has yet been dnwn, little seems 10 be known ; newly
the whole of it is unsurveyed. and a great portion of it is wholly unexplored ; of its
quality as good land or bad, M r. Stewart stated himself to be ignorant. It commences abont
five leagues back from the St. Lawrence, and extends 15 leagues or thereabouts in •
north-west direction further inland. Mr. Stewart states, that of the conceded lands of
the seigniory, the best portion is that situate upon the Riviere des Envies, a branch of
the Batiscan, in the more remote part of the conceded tract ; much of the land lyiqg
beyond it is, doubtless, eqoally good. In the concessions nearest the St. Lawrence^ the
soil is sandy and of an inferior quality.

The second seigniory in the district of Three Riven is that of Osp^ic h Magdeiafaw}

Position, Extbnt, kc— This seigniory, like the preceding, fronu on the north bank of
the St. Lawrence, • iiule hi gh er up the stream, and immediately below the town of Three
Hivers, from which it is separated by the river St. Maurice. It forms the south-west, as
Batiscan doca the north-east, side of the county of C!hamp1atn; the seigniory of Champlaio,
wilb its augmentation, and the wild lands in its rear, lying between them, "ilie rear^Iine
and a great part of the side-lines of the seigniory are stnl unsurveyed.
Nominally, this seigniory is of the same dimensions with that of B at isc a n, ^vo leagues
in front by 30 leasees in depib. In reality, ii is considerably larger, as a ginooe at the
following longh sutch will explain.
[See Plan.]
From some ambiguity in the original grants the soiith-wcsiern side-line of the seigniory
has been held to run, not directly Irom t^ bank of the St. Lawrence at the distance of two
leagues from the nonh-«ast line, but along the river St. Maurice, till it comes within that
distance of the north-east line, and then along a line running parallel to the north-east line.
For a distance of about six leagues, herefore, Iroui the front line, the seigiiiory is consider-
ably more than two leagues (two and a half I should think, from recollection o( the plan,*
on an average, or perhapa more). In width.

These fiefs were mentioned in the first draft of (A. 1.), but do not appear in it aa
anendetf.
The tracts of land otherwise disposed of than as arri^re fiefs or by concession are the
following : —
1. The Forge Reserve, of 25,940 arpenu (about three and a half square leanica), accord,
ing to the letums. The situation and general form of this tract are inoicated with a
■umoicBt appfoach to accuracy in the precedine sketch. It stretches acrois the seigniory,
in rear of tm conceded portion of it, and is a leagae or ihereaboat in breadth ; nearly the
whole of iia extent ia mountainoas, though well wooded. The St. Maurice Forges (to the
lessee of which this tract also is leased) are situate on the west bank of the St. Maurice,
opposite the ■onth'^eat extremity of this tract. Iron ore, as well as fire-wood, ate drawn
from it in very considerable quantities, for the use of the forees. There is also another
tract (much larger than this, which is leased to the same individual, for the same purpose,
and lies along the west bank of the St. Maurice, eomneneiiig not far in rear of Three
Rivers. This larger reserve is leased from the King's Domain. Both the tracts thus dis-
posed of are necessarily withheld from cultivation and settlement.
a. A Mill Beaenre, of 30) arpents, though not returned in (A. 1.), is mentioned in the
return (C. 8.)
3. 8aw-Iogs are returned in (B. 9.) as a source of revenue in this seigniory, though no
return is any where made of the amount of land leased with them. The other tables,
indeed (even (A. 3.), the return of the leased properties), contain no reference whatever
to them.
4. A Church grant of five arpents is also mentioned in (C. 8.), though omitted in (A. 1.)
TheCoNCBssioNa. — ^The entire extent of the conceded land does not appear from
(A. 1.), which return!) only the "new concessions," as 36,000 arpents in extent. The
detailed retarn (C. 8.) draws no distinction between old and new concessions, but states
the entire extent of ihe concessions at 46,180^ arpents, exclusive of the 35^ arpents
reserved for a church and mill, as above mentioned. This would leave 30,1804 for
the old concessions, but the precise proportion between the two is perhaps soBRewbat
doubtful. The total gross extent of the concessions is very possibly greater than lb*
return (C. 8.) indicates. It would seem to be only the net extent of thie concessions which
is there stated.
The tract as yet undisposed of is returned in (A. t.) as only 193,000 arpents, on what
account it is impossible to see. DeducttRg for the reported wieBatiooa, we have a
remainder left of 334,cs644 arpents. This amount may be rather too high, but it is no
more than returns warrant.
The territorial division of the seigniory, then, appears to be as follows:—

III. The Lakds otherwise disposed of have yielded a much smaller amount of revenue
than their extent would apparently warr M one in conjecturing.
1. The Foree Reserve, of 35,940 arpc.iU, is leased to the Hon. Mr. Bell, the lessee of tha
St. Maurice Kirges, and a member of the late legislative council of the province, for a
term of 10 years, expiring in 1844. and at a yearly rental of 75/., being at the rate of con-
siderably less than j d. currency (-694 d.) per arpent. This land is leased, not for settle-
ment or building, but oul^ for the purptne of cutting fire-wood, making charcoal and
drawing iron ore from it, tor the use uf the forges. It appears that a very considerable
portion of the charcoal and ore made nsc of at present m the forges is drawn from this
tract ; the more accessible wood and ore in the reserve on the west of the St. Maurice
being now to a great extent exhausted. The terms of this lease have been made matter of
complaint by the committee of the House of Assembly ; but the question of their fairaesa
or nnfaimcas belongs rather to another portion of this report than to the present, and, ii^
fact, requires a more minute investiKation on the spot than I have been able to make, to
enable me to satisfy myself in regard to it.
The actual receipts from the reserve, during the six years, are returned in (B. o.) as only
J 50/.; being the rental for the two years ending 30 ^ptember 1836, and 30 September
1837, respectively. No entry is made of any receipt from this source before this period:
and no anears are reported due in (A. 3.) or (A. 6.) The lease, however, under which Mr. Bell
at present holds the land bears date, according to (A. 3.) 24 April 1834, and rental must
therefore have accrued upon it for almost 3I years instead of two, between that time and
30 September 1837. In point of fact, the forge reserve was held by the same individual for
a number of years before the present lease was signed (for how many I have no memorandum
informing me, but certainly for several years), at a rental either tne same as at present, or,
at lowest, of 50/. per annum. In the course of the inquiries made on thia subject by a
Committee of the House of Assembly, both before and af^er the granting of the present
lease, it was stated in behalf of Mr. Bell's claim for a renewal, that he had always made
punctual payment. Tie only explanation I can offer of the apparent shortcoming of the
receipts from this score, is to be found in the circumstances under which the grant in ques-
tion was first made to Mr. Bell. "The forge reserve, as originally leased with the forges, lay
wholly on the west side of the St. Maurice, and formed part of the King's domain. A
portion of this tract, lying near the town of Three Rivers, was taken off from the reserve,
surveyed and conceded in consequence of urgent representations made by a number of the
residents of Three Rivers and the vicinity. As a compensation to the lessee, this new
reserve, on the east side of the river, was then set off and granted to him. The whole rental
paid by him seems, however, to have been still set down to the account of the King's domain,
though from this time a portion of it was really paid for the occupancy of part of the,
Jesuits' esutes. This false entry, I presume, continued till March 1836, when for the firif ^
time (two years after the signing of the present lease) the payment made for this part of;
the property held by the lessee was entered on the books of lue Jesuits' estates, where it
ought to have been entered from the first doy on which rental was in any way paid for it.
The amount of rental paid for this tract, hefore March 1 836, is to be renrded as an arrear
due to the estates, not indeed from the lessee, but from that branch of the revenue, to the
account of which it was up to that date erroneously entered.

> The total increaae of arrear for the six years cannot be stated with exactnesi, owing to
the defitctive character of the returns, which make a« mention of arrears on the mill and
amrloaps. Exclusive of these two sources of revenue the arrears are reported to have in-
cmaci40o/. t6i. ii'Sd; the wliole arrear due being upon the coocestiont. It has been
aeea, however, that the real increase of arrear on this score munt have been at least
gSo/. ls.9'35d., and, indeed, rather more on cens et rentes alone, which (supposing no
aiaailar deficiency in the return of the arrears on lods et ventes) gives a sum totu of
714L 10*. i'75a> This sum is more than 54 per cent, upon the gross actual receipts. The
lacreasa of arrear on the mill and saw logs is probably small.
Besides this, however, we have seen tliai there is another arrear of a different character
lA be considered, — the sum due from the general revenue on account of the payments made
(but not entered on the books of the estates), from March 1833 to March 1836, for tlie
uae of the forge reserve. For tlie last year and a half of this period the rental is
ahowu to have been 75/. per annum. Fur the earlier two yean and a half, 1 set it down at
5oi. The arrear thua computed amounu to 337!. io«., ratber more than i8fer cent,
wpon the total gross receipts, as they stand on the books of the estates, for the sei(^iory.
Of the catire amount, inen, which has fallen due from this seigniory within the six years,
it appean that about 31*4 per cent, at the least has been allowed to run into arrear j about
10*4 per cent, more, though collected, has been lost to the estates by being entered to the
•MMintof another branch of the reventie; and about 31*1 per cent, more has been ex-

as containing therefore 56^48 square arpentt. These are its dimensions in the original
frant. How nearly the survey mapr have followed the letter of the grant does not appear,
rom the curved front line which the course of the St. Lawrence gives to the seigniory, it
is apparent that its dircetions cannot have been literally foUowed, and the reported area of
the seigniory be the result.
The whole of the seigniory has been surveyed, and, with the exoeplion of a few arpenti
reserved for a partieahw purpose, granted.
A controveny has long been pending at to the true site of the dividing line between
this seigniory and that of Sanit St. Lovis. it has been contended that the line
as heretofore traced includes, besides the seigniory of La Prairie, a strip of three
arpents in width by four leagues in depth, which of right belongs to the seigniory of
Sault St. Louis, and was granted from that seianiory to the Jesuiu in consideration of
their erecting and repairing a parish church, and serving as parish clergy for the Indians.
This step, as the Indians have urged, was not returned to them when the rest of the
seigniory was taken out of the hands of the Jesuits and placed in thrin ; and titfiy have
claimed it accordingly, on the ground that the Krvices in coimderation of which H irai
granted are not and cauriot l^ any longer rendered in return for it. Thin claim was
brought under the notice of the education commission by the Rev. Mr, Mareoax, tba
cur6 officiating among the Indians. It was not, however, in my power, for want of timti
to give such attention to it as to be able to form an opinion of ita merits. The
menu transmitted by Mr. Marcoux to sustain it are filed in the oflke of the

means of ascertaining which estimate, or whether indeed either of them, it correct. I wat
not aware of the inconaittcncy between the two when I Inst taw Mr. Stewart.
The nine arpenti ttill unalienated are tcatiered uit and down the tuburb, Mr. S. atated,
in houte-loti, some contiguous and some not. Applicationt for them were rare, in conte-
quence of the state of the tiuie*. They are all offered for tale, en constitut, at building lots.
The griintt to the churches and hospital, Mr. Stewart stated to be " in perpetuity."
Their dale* varied, and he did not remember them. They were to have been furnished ;
but the time did not allow me to call for them a second time. The srant to the Catholic
Church was probably made by the Jesuits. The other two were douEtlett made since the
Crown took potiettion of the estatea.
The two leaaed tracta, Mr. Stewart informed me. are not, in hit opinion, tuitabic for
building lots, and are therefore quite advantageously disposed of under the present arrange-
ment, it wat not in my power, for want ot time, to make any further inquiry on thit
poirit.
Hare Point is leased (A. 3.) for a term of at yeiirt, to expire in 1850, at the rate of 40/.
per annum. No arrears are returned ns due, either in 1831 or 1837; but nt (B. 5.) shows
that only 2*0/. had bet-n paid in the six yeart, instead of 340/., it it evident that one-half

The beach lot it leated (A. 3.) for seven yeart ending in 1843, at the rate of 98/. yearly.

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
^ a.— LANDS Id the City of Qubbic.
Thft'Moperty i.n the city of Quebec i* mentioned in the return* {A. i.), (A. 4.), (A. €.),
(A. 7.), (B.6.) and (C. 6.), aa well m» in tablea (G. 1.). (0. 9.). and (G. 3.).
PueiTioN, Extent, &c. — This property coniiitt of te««n>! lot* of land (noneof tiiemlarffe,
and uio*t of them qnite tmall) which were held bv the Jeiuii* under various title* of ine
King'* domaii>, within which they lie. They are all situate in the Upper Town of Quebec,
and are coniiguou*. or nearly to, to the building known aa the Jesuits' Banackt, which
stand* on one of them.
In (A. 1 .), the total extent of thi* property is not given ; nor does any other of the tables
supply the deficiency. On inquiry of the commissioner, I was informed that in so.-ne old map
or survey, the whole was laid down at " 18 arpents 58 perches ; " but that, as there had been
no late survey, it was impo^nible to nay how far the estimate is correct. I could get no
further information on thi* point. No part of this land i* returned, as at the disposal of
the administration of the estates.
Four alienations are specified in (A. 1 .), from which the estates derive no revenue, but
the dimensions of the lots so disposed of are not given ; the commissioner awigning the
want of any sufficiently accurate survey a* the rea*on. Three of tiiese are " grana in
perpetuity."
1. To the Fire Society of Quebec.
a. „ National School.
3. „ Congiegation of Notre Dame.
The datea of these grants are not stated. The first and *econd are, however, obviously
grant* made aince the estate* came into the hands of the Crown. The late Jesuit*' college
and garden, occupied by government a* a barrack and barrack-yard, form the fourth. The
extent of (he groumi thu* occupied i* about five arpentf . It« real value, and the di*posi-
tion which of right ought to be made of it, have been matter of much controversy. These
questions may be more advantageously discussed io another portion of this report than
here.
The remainder of the property cousista of 69 house-lots (reported in C. 6.), firom which a
revenue is drawn, much m the same manner as in La Vacherie, though to a much smaller
amount. Of thet6 there are reported—
In Fabrique-street

which have all been long disposed of, though no dates are given, fiesides these, there are

The extent of ground occupied by these 69 emplacements is not stated.

computed revenue.
For 1838-9, the gross estimated revenue is
£.71 6 1076 Cy.
§ 3.— LANDS in the Seigniory of Lauicn.
The third property not constituting a seigniory in the district of Quebec is the land in
the seigniory of Lauaun, mentioned in (A. 1.), (A. 4.), (A. 7.), and (B. 7.) ; and in (G. i.),
(G. 3.), and (G. 3.).
Position, Extent, &c.— '^" is property consists of tvo distinct portions, one in the
parish of St. Nicholas, o( . i Jap Rouge, and the other in liie parish of Pte. Levi, oppo-
site Quebec. Both of them front upon the south bank of the St. Lawrence, and are
within the limits of the county of Dorchester, or seigniory of Lauzun.
The St. Nicholas property contains (A. 1.) 1,180 square arpcnts, and the Pte. Levi pro-
perty 9C0. From tile description given in the warrant issued in 1800 for the seizure of
the e.tates by the sheriff of Quebec, it appears that the former is a single tract of 50
arpents, or thereabout, in depth ; and that the latter consists of four contiguous lots, which
taken together make an irregular area fronting upon the St. Lawrence 15 arpents, and
running hack at its deepest part 80 arpents.
On<''of the four lots last-meniionecf was granted to the Jesuits as an Arriere Fief by the
•cignior of Lauzun. The others, Mr. Stewart states to have been held of him em roture.
On the occupation of the estates by the Crown, or shortly after (Mr. S. stated), an opinion
was given by the law officers in Canada, that, as the Crown could not hold en roture of a
subject, the tenure of these lands had, from the date of their seizure, become seigniorial,
and that those who held them under grants fiom the Jesuits were hunceforth bound to
puy lods el vcntes to the Crown as seignior, and not to the seigi.'iurof Lauzun. The
case in this seigniory differed from that in La Vacherie and the City of Quebec, inasmuch
as in the latter, the Crown was the seignior of whom the Jesuits had originally held. In
those properties, therefore, the Crown, in its capacity of holder or administrator of the
estates, takes only interest and ground-rent from those who hold under it. and takes lods
et venies in its original capacity of seignior; the latter payments being considered part of
the " Domain," and not of the Jesuits' estates' revenue. In the Lauzun properties, the
Crown claims cens et rentes and lods et ventes by the same title; and both classes of
payments are entered as revenue belonging to the estates.
The claim to lods et ventes on this property has not, however, been insisted upon.
They are sometimes paid. Mr. Stewart states., and often not. The question of the legality
of the claim has never been tried; and the property is not considered valuable enough tu
make it worth trying.
The whole extent of thi^ property is returned as disposed of in " old concessions."
The accounts of its receipts and arrears are stated by Mr. Stewart to bu particularly
defective, owing to tlie neglect of a Mr. Campbell, a notary charged with the duty of
discovering titrte nouvtUet within it. To this deficiency, he ascribed his own omission
tu make a detailed return of the concessions and arrears due upon them.

§ 4. — LAND at TADooatAC.
The land atTadoottac ia mentioned only in (A. i.),(G. 1.) and (O. a.)
Tadouitac ia a trading pott at the mouth of the Saguenay river, and it leated at one of
the " King's Trading Posts " to the Hudson'* Bay Company. The Jesuits held six arpenta
of laud here, grantra for the erection of a church. Sic. Their site it now a matter of di»-
pute. Dr. Kimber, of Tliree Rivers, (the chairman of the committee of the late House of
Assembly on the Jesuits' estates ) mainuins that the warehouses erected at the post, or a
part of tnein, stand on this ground. Mr. Stewart, on the other hand, doubts whether the
six arpenis in question were ever so moch as measured off; if they were, he supposes that
the Indian church still remaininj^ at the place stood upon them, and not the waiehouset.
Mr. Stewart haa not been there since 1833.
No revenue hat ever been drawn from thit property. It hat been argued by Dr. Kimber,
on the tuppotition that the warehouietof the post are built upon it, that a part of the
rental paid by the Hudton's Bay Company should be allowed for the use of it, to the accouat
of the estates. If, however, Mr. Stewart's opinion of its site be correct, thit tugge»iioii
necettarily fallt to the ground.
(b.) In the District of Thbeb Riveki.
% 1.— ISLE DE ST. CHRISTOPHER.
The Isle de St. Christopher is mentioned only in {A. i.), (A. 7.), (G. 1.), (O. 3.) and
(G. 3)
It is a small itland, 80 arpentt in extent, near the mouth of the St. Maurice, between the
town of Three Rivers and the seigniory ui' Cap de la Magdeleine. It was originally
granted to the Jesuits as a fief, free of all conditions and charges, and was by them granted
in one concession, at a rental of (sm A. 7.) 1 «. 3 </. currency per annum.
Nothing has been received from this concession for many years, and it is regarded as aa
unproductive properly.
^ § 3. — LANDS in the Town and Banlieue of Thbbe Rivers.
The returns relative to the lands in the town and banlieue of Three Rivers are contained
in (A. 1.), (A. 7.) and (B. 10.); and their results are stated in (G. 1.), (G. 3.) and (O. 3.)
Tliis property consist* of two fiefs (one called the fief Pachevigny, and the other not
named m any return I have seen)i and some land held en rolurt. Neither the returns to
the commission nor those to the House of Assembly give the relative extent of these
several parts. The whole is stated in (A. 1.) us covering 675*08 arpenti, a considerable
portion of the town of Three Rivers. In precise limits seem to be a ninttrr of some uncer-
tainty, from the reports of the committee of the AsMrmbly on the Jesuits' estates; but I
hiive had no op|iorlunity of inquiring into the merits of the controversy.
There hat evidently hern much neglect in the administration of this properly, even aa
com|>ared with the others belonKing to the estates. Tlie " deiailefl " return o> the concet-
fiont, &c. hat not been (urniihrJ, doubtless from the agent's inability to furnish it.
No return of "arrears" is atteinpiid either. From (U. 10.) it nppcurs that fur the tiz
years ending in 1837, "^ ^'^^* ^' rentes wiiatever have been paid. The receipts are wholly

on lods et ventet ; and even these do not seem to be regularly collected. Under good
DianHgemeni, the revenue from this source ought 10 be considerable.
The eight unconceded arpcnts are situate on the outskirts of the town. Mrl Stewart
states them to be worth less, except as building lots. Though ungranted, they appear to
have been built u|>on to some extent, without leave, by a number ot poor people.
(A. I.) slates 35 arpents to be in possession of and claimed by the trustees of the common.
This tract, of course, yields no revenue. There is also another unproductively occupied,
though not returned in (A. 1.) The church and mission house, formerly occupied by the
Jesuits, have been used as a Protestant episcopal church and parsonage for many years.
This occupation has been the occasion of much complaint on the part of the Catholic popu-
lation of Three Rivers.
The actual receipts from the concessions are returned in (B.'io.)

is at the rate per arpent of nearly id. currency. An arrear of cens et rentes must have
accrued therefore in the six years of 30/. 2t. 4*5 </.
Of the arrears on lods et ventes no conjecture can be formed, nor indeed can any be
formed, as to the amount of arrear due on cens et rentes.
Besides the ordinary charges of collection and management, there are returned two iiemi

years to an average per annum of 33 /. oi. 10*35 (^.
(c.) In the District of Monthxal,
The land in the city of Montreal is mentioned in (A. 1.) A. 7.) (G. 1.) (G. 2.) and
(G. 3)
It has never been productive since the estates came into the hands of the Crown. In
(A. 1 .) it is estimated at 3*68 arpenis, the whole, with the exception of three emplacements,
occupied by the district court-house and the old gaol (now used as a barrack). Dr. Kimber
has argued that the lot known as the " government gardens " is also a part of it ; but this
Mr. Stewart, on the other hand, denies.
The three house.lots are returned in (A. 7.) as subject to a payment of 5s. ^d. Cy.,
yearly, for cens et rentes ; but no collections iippear to be ever made from them.
The Jesuits held this land, en roture, o.f the Montreal Seminary, the seignior of the Island
of Montreal.
Cap. V.
Gembbal Chabactbr of the System of Administration under which the Jesuits'
Estates nre at present placed.
It cannot fail to be apparent from the statements made in the two preceding chapters,
that there must be ery great defects existing in the ndministraiion of this property. Much
more than half of its entire gross computed revenue, we have seen, is !o:it in arrearsi und
expenses. Upon several of its constituent properties (the large seigniories of the Cap dc la
Miigdeleine and Butiscan for example) the amounts of arrear and expenditure logetlier are
nearly three-quarters of their computed revenue ; and upon one property only (that in the
city of Quebec) are they as low us 36^ per cent, of the computed revenue. The returns uf
arrearn, in almost every instance in which it is possible to apply any test of their accuracy,
are found to be more or less inaccurate ; and in several instances the inaccuracies detected
are of the grossest character. The very extent of the seigniories in square arpents is given
only by a rough calcuiution from their recorded dimensions. The extent of the land within
each, disposed of inrariMUs ways, is, n. many cases, equally in doubt; in a number of the
seigniories, no puets is ventured upon us to the amount held by the several censituires;
and in one (Ia Prairie) the very name and number of the censitaires cannot be told.
To what cause are these defects attribuinhle ? To mismanagement (corrupt, or arising
from mere carelessness) on the part of the inilividui.ls by whom theestates are administereo.
Or are they rather to be regarded as inherent in the system under which they are admi<
nistered, — as a result, in the main, of the nature of the properties from which the revenues
of the estates are drawn, and of the limited powers of those who are charged with their
collection I — ^The Jesuits' Estates Committee of the late House of Assembly, and the
majority of the House in general, appear to have '• isisted upon the former cause, so far at
the reports presented on the subject, and the tenor of the Bill which paued the House, are

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
indicationt of the temper of minii of tlioM who drew up or favoured them. lo these
reporu the burthen of complaint is directed mainly asaiost the commissioner as an indi*
vidaal; while of the four agents even, employed uDoei' him, one only (the agent for La
Prairie) is sekcted to share in the censure cast upon the commissioner. The Bill of 1835-6
proposed lo accomplish little more than the abolition of the commiuioner's office ; per-
petuatin^, while it undertook to regulate and correct, the old system of administration, in
most of Its worst features ; and in fact adding to it some new features even more objec*
tionable than any of the old. I cannot bring myself to assent to the conclusions of th^fse
docum<ints, or to recommend the measures proposed in them as remedial.
From thn stidden termination of the inquiries entered upon under the Education Com-
mission, I was unable to investigate tlioroughly those particular transactions upon which
the accusers of the commissioner have dwelt, as evidence of personal mismanagemeut on
his part, and I have therefore no riaht to express or hold an opinion in regard to them. So
far as tlwir charge against him is of a merely general character (growing out of the obvious
inadequacy of the net returns from the estates), it is easy to see that the facts of the case
admit of another exp'aiiiuion, the commissioner's limited powers, and the nature uf the
properties he has had to manage, and that explanation m quite sufficient to account
for them. So far as particular transactions are called in question (the leasing of the
Sillery coves, and of ine forse reserve, being the two transactions most complained oO
I cau give no opinion, for the reason above slated. It is, however, only common jus-
tice to the commissioner, individually, to remark, that they received at the time the
fbll sanction of the provincial executive.
It remains to inquire in what respects the present system of administration is defective ;
anri incidentally, how far the Bill of 1835-0, would have removed or added lo its de-
ficiencies. This inquiry divides itself into two branches ; the one, rrlating to the number,
powers, remuneration, etc. of those employed in the management of the estates; and the
other, to the character of the properties themselves, and the difficulties (legal and
otherwise) in the way of managing such properties to advantage.
1. The number, powers, remtineration, &c., of those employed in the management of the
estates. — The commissioner, as has been already staled, has four agents euiuloyed under
him — Mr. Louis Panet, of Qaebec, for the properties in the district of Quebec; Mr.
Louis Ouillet, of Batiscan, for the seigniory of that name in the district of Three
Rivers; Mr. Dumoulin, of Three Rivers, for the other properties in that district, and Mr.
E. Henry, of La Prairie, fur the seigniory of that name, the only productive properly in
the district of Montreal. Messrs. Panet, Guillet and Henry arc notaries, resident within
the district for which they are respectively agents ; and M. Dumoulin is a notary or a lawyer
(the former I believe) also residing within tlie limits of his agencv. They hold their
office, Mr. Stewart states, by appointment of the Governor and Council, and are removable,
therefore, only by the same authority, and not directly by the commissioner. The com-
missioner \u» no other control over them than is implied in the power of complaining
to the executive, of any remissness or malversation on tlieir pari.
The emoluments of the agenu consist in an allowance of 10 per cent upon all sums
collected by tliem. During the six years, ending in 1837, this allowance has amounted
to the following snm^—

Theselast-nirmedsnms, it if quite evident,' are much larger than the agents ever have
realised or are likely for some time to realise from this source. They are calculated on the
supposition that every due is collected,— a supposition, as we have seen, very far from the
fart. "1110 average receipt of the six years ending in 1837 is not likely to be much
exceeded, if at all, by that of 1838-9.
Besides this allowance of 10 per cent , the agents charge certain incidental expenses

From these amounts it is evident that the direct profits of the agents are quite small in
amount, except for the Quebec agency, and that even in the Quebec agency the sum
allowed is only moderate ; nor could any detfree of diligence in iheir collection enable the
agents to make them very much larger. It is further apparent. 1st, that the agents, from
their being paid a per centage on their gross receipts, have no sort of interest in the dimi-
nution of uny of the other expenses to be incurred within their agency; and sdly, that
these other expenses bear no proportion whatever to the revenue drawn from the agency
upon which they are charged, and the allowance made from it to the agent. It was not in
my power (for reasons already more than once staled) to make such further inquiries on
tlie subject of these ex«<en8es as, with more time at my command, I sliould have made.
The allowance of !o uer cent, to the agents is obviously too small to enable any one of
them to devote his whole time to the duties of his agency. The agents accordingly all
have other business to attend to of their own ; and this fact, though it stood alone, would
furnish evidence enough of the impassibility of their satisi'actorily fulfilling the duties of
their ofhce. To say nothing of the necessarily complex character of the affairs they have
lo manage, and the care requisite in order to the faithful collection of the multitude of
smell debts perpetually accruing, n notary or lawyer resident within his agency, and
dependent in a very considerable degree on his regular professional business fur n living,
must often have a much stronger interest in the postponement or relaxation of claims
which as agent he is bound to urge, than that which the prospect of his agent's allowance
gives him in their collection. The neighbourhood on whose patronage he depends is made
up of the parties from whom his collections are to be made. The chief value of his agency
must lie in the opportunity it gives for the extension of his inUueiicc and business, and
this object is by no means best gained by an over-rigorous devotion lo the interes'.s of the
seignior, at the expense of the ccnsitaires. On this point I have had no opportunity of

oftnining diicct tetUroony, aiid from the nature of the ca«e it scemt hardljr necettwy to
atk for any. The tendency of this part of the tytiem cannot be mitunderatood, whatever
may have been the conduct of particular a^enti acting under it. V.'here an agent's
inierett is best consulted by the aocomulation of arrears and a liberal allowance of
expenses, it is useless to expect collections to be either punctually or economically
made.
If the agent's responsibility were assured, ei.her by giving the commissioner complete
control over them, or by making them the partiea answerable to the legislature ana the
public for the amount of their receipts, this evil might be somewhat less ; as it is, however,
neither of these is done. The commissioner has over them a very imperfect control
indeed, and yet his general responsibility for the proceeds and management of the estates
serves to screen them from censure in almost any case, unless indeed it were the possible
case of their being more active and exact i..an the public opinion of th<!ir indebieo neigh-
bours would have them ; then, indeed, but hardly otherwise, the commissioner's responsi-
bility might fail to relieve them from theirs.
If, from considering the tenure of office and the emoluments of the four agents, we
turn to those of the commissioner, we find still the same kind of faults inherent in this
part of the system. The allowances for the commissioner's office for the six years ending
in 1837 (""^ indeed, except in the item of "contingencies," which is variable, lor man}'
years beibie,) have been —

the sum total forming, it is true, a prettv heavy charse upon the revenue of the estates,
but still failing to supply an adequate salary for an officer with duties of so responsible a
character. Supposing him to save, as he doubtless may, a considerable portion of the
" clerk's allowance" for himselli by dispensing with the regular services of a clerk, his
salary must still fall considerably short of 300 L currency, and this sum will not enable
him to devote himself ■.vhoily to the business of hii office. 'The present commissioner holds
other offices, from the necessity of the case it might almost be said, being an executive
councillor, and master of the Trinity House of Quebec. How little an arrangement of this
kind (alk>wing no one commissioner or agent to give more than a fraction of his time and
thoughts to a business requiring so much care) must conduce to the advantageous manage-
ment of the estates can hardly need to be insisted on.
The agenu, we have seen, are so paid as to give them at least some interest in the
productiveness of the estates, though from tiieir professional pursuits they have often a
much stronger interest the other way. The commissioner is so paid as to have no interest
in the matter at all ; his salary, inadequate as it is, is fixed in its amount and regular, and
the punctuality or remissness of the azents is a matter of no direct personal concern to
him. Taking further into account the inodemte amount of his salary and (he limited
extent of his power over the agents, it is too much to expect that any oversight of his
should be so effective as to counteract the strong influences unfavourable to the produc-
tiveness of the estates under which tite agenu lliemselves are placed.
With a system such as this, as regards the appointment, powers and emoluments of those
to whom the management of the estates has been intrusted, it is not fair to ascribe the
inevitable consequences of the system to personal delinquency on the part of the indivi-
duals so appointed and so paid. There may have been positive delinquency, doubtless,
but it requires at least further and more definiie proof than the mere general unproductive*
ness of the estates furnishes to establish it. \Ve have still, however, to examine the
system in another of its aspects.
II. The character of the properties themselves, and the difficulties, legal and otSerwise.
in the way of their advantageous management. The productive properties of the estates
may be thus classed for the purposes of this inquiry :
1. Concessions.
3. Land leased or sold en con. for settlement and cultivation.
3. House lots sold en con.
4. Mills.
5. Coves, saw-logs, forge reserve, &c.
1 . The Concessions. — These constitute in extent by far the greater part of the land
productively disposed of; in all, they cover very nearly 360,000 square arpents, or almost
36I square leagues of territory ; tlie revenue they yield, however trifling as compared witii
their extent, is still much greater than is drawn from either of the other kinds of properiy
above enumerated. The number of ooniributors to this part of the revenue of the estates
is much greater than to all the others together, and their contributions are altogether the
most troublesome to collect, from the smallness of the amount of one class of them, and
the irregularity (both as to time and amount) of the other. All this will be seen moro
clearly from the following more detailed statements.

Hardly exceeding (on an average of all the concessions, old and new) 1 d. currency per

Nearly 41 per cent, upon the total arerage receipt! from the estate* for this period. , We
have teen, however, that the returna indicate a heavy arrear ai having accrued durine this
period, on account both of cent et rentes and of lodt et ventet. Adding, on the latter
account, the amount of orrear reported in the returns marked (C), with the very trifling
addition tnggetied in Cap. HI. ot a little lest than 10/. yearly for increase of anear of loot
et ventet on tlie propertiet not returned ; and on the former the turn indicated by a com-
pariton of the receiuit and rental returned, the average of revenue falling due yearly, from
ihete sources, would stand—

more than 44} per cent, of the gross torn of 4,565/. 71. 1 </., which by the tame calcula-
tion (see Cap. III.) would seem to have been the average computed yearly revenue upon the
whole estates for that period. It cannot be doubled, however, that the real increase of
arrear on lodt et ventet hat been greater than the above tiateiuent supposes, and the pro-
Kftion of the entire revenue derivable from the concessions, therefore, greater ; and pro-
bly it would be safe to say that nearly half the gross revenue of the estate* is due upon
the concession ; the cens et rentes, or stated yearly rental amounting to about 33 per cent.,
and the lods et ventes (in the above estimate a tmalleri but in reality a larger turn) about
35 per cent.
In round numbers, then, it may be said, that nearly a quarter of the grots revenue to be
collected by the agentt consists of these trifling debts into which we have seen the cens et
rentet retolve tbemtelves, debit which fall due every lix months, which average in amount
some 3 f. currency each (a large proportion of them being in fact much smaller), which
have to be collected from 3,700 or more individuals ; these debtors' farms covering a space
of about no square miles, more than half of them, probably, lying at a distance ol betwe^'n
10 and 3o miles fiom the residence of the nearest agent, a good many of them very imper-
fectly cleared, and some not yet to much at tettled upon.
Another fourth part of the revenue of the estates is drawn from the lodt et ventes, due
upon every sale of real estate within them. When it is remembered, however, that it rests
with the agent to find out in each case the fart of the sale and the price bnrirained for-,
that a deed of sale may be privately executed before anv notary, whether resident in the
neighbourhood or not, and that if the parties interested keep their own secret by not dif
closing the name of the notary with whom the deed is deposited it is very hard for the
agent to discover it, it will be seen at once that the difficulty of punctual collection in this
case is not much less than in the preceding. These claima, it is true, are larger in amounti
and fewer in number ; but on the other hand, they are at once irregular in respect of time,
uncertain in their amount, and bated upon trantactiont which the other parties interested
nnve, in all cases of voluntary sale, great facilities for keeping secret, and a strong induce-
ment to avail themselves of the same.
The returns show (vid. mpra) that upon each of these sources of revenue, there has been
accumulating for the six years ending in 1837, on an average, a yearly arrear of about
36 per cent, upon the gross sum falling due from each.* The considerations above sug-
gested ore surely enough to account for such a result. In fact, it becomes almost more a.
matter of surprise that the agents should have collected so much from these sources than -
that they should have got so Utile.
While on this subject, one other difficulty, which must very Materially embarrass the
agents in their collection of these small dues, must be ineniioned. It appears, from the
commissioner's statements, that the agentt in the dittrict of Three Rivers have been for
several veart practically tliut out from retort to the courts of law for enforcement of their
claims. By a decision «f the resident judge of the Court of King's Bench for that district.
The Jesuits' estoies are still in law the property of the Crown, and nil suits, therefore, on
account of them, arc brought in the name of the Crown. The decision of Judge Val-
lieres, that costs of suit cannot be adjudged on suits where the Crown is a party, has put
retort to law in any case for a small sum entirely out of the question. The principle
was affirmed, last summer, bj the Court of Appeals, sitting at Quebec, to that itt opera-
lion may now be regaided as universal over the province-
It is not possible, from the returns, to state with perfect exactness the omount of expense
incurred ou the management of the concesiions as a whole. It is safe, however, to set
litem down at from 37 to 30 per cent, on the grost collections. For the agnnts and com-
missioner's offices, a charge of more than 81 } per ceni. it to be made, and the addition of

The grouly defective character of tlie ictttrn>i of the agenta. on the subject of these con-
cessions, and especially on so much as relates to arrears, has been frequently noticed, from
the necessity ot the case, in the remarlis made on the returns. It is hardly a matter to
. excite surprise, in view of all the facts now stated, however striking it may be, as a further
evidence of the all-pervading defects of the whole system, of which it is a result.

lation of arrears is shown by the returns to have been 977/. i8t. it 'gad., or rather more,
as the returns of arrcara do not include all the properties, Followinfl; these estimates we
find that about 9 per cent, of the actual receipts, or 19| per cent, of the computed dues of
the estates are to be set down to this class of properties. Why so very large a proportioi^
(almost half) of thi. revenue has been allowed to fall into arrear does not very clearly appear
from the nature of the revenue itself. It ought to 'je tolerably easy and certain of collec-
tion, much more sg than the revenue on the concessions. The expenses incurred upon its
collection have been to about the same amount as upon the concessions. It might cer-
iiiinly be collected at much leu cost.

arrears which have accrued 011 them seem from the returns to have been small in com-
parison with those on the other classes of property ; and though the returns are not com-
plete, and probably stote the arreors at too low a sum, they arc still no doubt comparatively
small. Tlie returns show an average yenrly arrear of 49/. 19». 9*/., not much more than
6 per cent, upon the gross receipts. The cttiniated rental of the mills, according to thiti
would be a little more than l8{ per cent, of the whole estimated revenue of the estates.

any of the other properties. The charges for " repairs " alone have averaged yearly for the

Upon the first and most important of these kinds of property, then, no great change for
the better, it would seem, can be effected by measures that shoold merely alter the mode
of appointing and paying its administrators ; upon the others, little more than this is
required. Tite necessity of adopting measures to obviate the peculiar difficulties in the
the way of drawing revenue from tlie concessions will be more clearly appreciated if, to
the facts already stated relative to their extent, &c., we add the fact that about twice as
much land as tlie existing concessions cover still remains for disposal; and that unless
the tenure be changed, the whole of this land also must be thrown away, as more than
a quarter of a million of arpents have been thrown away already.
It is in this respect, e.pecially, that the bill of 1835-6 was defective. It not only left
the tenure untouched as regards the already granted concessions, but proceeded to enact
the perpetual continuance of the very same system in the disposal of all the remaining
lands. The changes also which it did propose to make as to the mode of administration
are almost all of a more than doubtful cliaracter.
It was proposed to vest the management of the estates in three administrators ; one for
the properties in the district of Quebec, now under Mr. Panel's ogency, another for those
in the district of Three Rivers, constituting the agencies of Messrs. Quillet and Dumoulin ;
and the third for those in the district of Montreal, under Mr. Henry's agency. Tlie
administrators were to act in all respects independently of one another. They were to be
appointed by the governor and council, and were to give security for tlie faithful discharge
of the pecuniary oblications of their ofllce. The legal ownership of so much of the
estates as came under nis control, was to be vested in each administrator, in trust, subject
to

lo legiilative luprrvition and direction. TItr emoiumeuu of the ■dmiaiilraion were to be
limited 10 the lo per cent, on iheir f(roia coiieciioni liereiuforc allowed lo ihe agcnta. They
were for this remuneration to keep open oiie office each continually in Uw towns of
Quebec, Tlirec Rivers and MontrenI respectively, besides attending on n staled doy
monthly, (in person or by an approved deputy), at an office to be opened and mnintained
by them in cacit seigniory under their MiminUtraiion, for receipt of dues from such seigniory.
And lastly, they were bound lo cunoedc from the ungranted territory, whenever called
opon, at a specified rnlo,* and not higher.
For general aupervision of their accounts and transactions no direct provision was made,
further than to enact that ihey should be buuud to innke report thereof from time to time
lo the governor, and that their report* should be laid before the provincial parlioment.
From the author of the bill I learned ihot it was intended in the House to oppoiuta reeulnr
standing cummitiee of that body, to whom these reports should be referred, ana the
general direction of the affairs of the ctintes intrusted.
In the whole of this plan I can see only one point in which there is a decided improve-
ment on the present system, tlie provision, namely, which, by legally vesting the ownership
of the eitHles in the aidminislraturs, obviates the ditficulties which at present hinder the
commissioner and asents from suing delinquooi debtor* in the name uf the Crown } and this
improvement is mu«i mure than coiutcrbalanced by the other prov ^ions uf the bill. The
direct emolument! of the administrators would still continue loo low lo enable any man of
the required abilities and character lo give his time entirely to his duties as administrator.
In fact, in this respect, the system would be rendered worse than at present, as the bill
throws n number of ex|>ensive duties on the administrators which ore nui required of the
agents, or which, if required, are puid fur. The adminisiralors must, therefore, from the
nature of the case, have been, as the agents are, notaries or lawyers, depending on their
general professional business, as much us or more than on their official emolumenta for
their inroine. The value of their office would depend (much more than ut present) upon
the indirect profits which might arise from the influence it would give them, or from the
outlay upon such repairs, surveys, 8ic., as they could contrive to get authorized. Paid
according to tlteir gross receipts, the odministrators would have no motive to economy,
except such as might jgrow out uf their fear of the board of control lo be placed over
them— a fear which, m all human probability, would only have made bod worse. The
committee of the House of Assembly must of necessity have borne a political chiiracter.
The Jesuits' estates cover a greot portion of three counties — Quebec, Cliamplain and
La Prairie, and n smaller extent of property in three others — Pontnenf, Si. Maurice and
Dorchester. The parties indebted to the estates would have been, almost to a man, voten
for these counties. In such a state of things is it nut morally impossible bnt tbot political
should have been added to merely personal corruption, under a system holding out such
strong temptations to both ?
The present system of administration, then, having been shown thus faulty, and the
system proposed by the Houst of Auembly m> much worse in aeveral of it* features, the
question recurs, what are in reality the measures reauired to make the estates a productive
and econoinicully administered euiiowment. To tlie discussion of this question the remainder
of this report will be devoted ?

Argument is scarcely necessary to prove, that to ndhcre to tlie old syr tern oF granting
gnder the Feudal Tenure, ii in effect to throw away the whole of :..is extensive tern,
tory. At the present time, with the land held undrr this fuuun., it ii practically worth
nooiing. Two hundred arpents in ihe Seigniory of Sillery, quite near QueSec, — to
near as to have been put up for saie at 3o/. or upwards per arpeni, — have b*""! fir «ix
or seven years in the market, without * porchnier appeari"-; For the lands in the
rear portion of St. OaLi>el. 'I'C coirmiuiortT ttaier ',- ienun, that *heie is almoi<t tio
demand whatever, certainly not encash to make them \> lUi itu/veying. Nor is the case
far otherwise in Batiaeaa and Cap de '^ Magdeleine. And not only is ihe ungranted
land thus little sought after, but the lately grxnted la^i! ii fo'.'nd ^• be but partially
cleared, andyrt more partially paid for. InBatiicaa, ttm new ;3ac<-siious have yielded
less than half ilie return per arpcnt drawn from the old, though the average rate of con-
cession has increased by aliout ooa-half in the meanUme. In St. Gabnel, they have
yielded, on the highest computation, little more tlian half. In Notre Dame, the revenue
from them has been leu than one-twentieth part as high as from tlie old concessions. And
sn Belair, for a period of six years running, from a newly-conceded tract of nearly
5,000 arpents, there it not a single payment, large or small, recorded. For this result there
may be assigiied two reasons ; the one being the fact, stated by Mr. Stewart, that much
of the land thus granted is not ^et settled upon; the other, the distance of the centiuire
from the agent's residence, which makea any attempt at collection almost impossible.
The latter of these causes must obviously be ever on the increase, the further the con-
cessions extend back into the country ; the former canuot be removed, or its force weakened,
under the present system of land granting; a system which, with tlie lavs tlut tprng nui
of an<^ .:o-«xist wi'ii it, encouraget a man to take up land without the means of improving
it, holds over his head a heavy tax, in the shape of Ixxit et Ventet, on itt iinprov^meut,
and, partly by this means, and partly through the impouibility of ascertaining title* 'o auJ
encumbrances on land, makes the use or command o» capital (his own or :inoihcv's) all hut
impossible.
That tiie welfare of the province requires the ^weeping away (by tlic shortest and rnon
effectua' cic^norea of which the natuw of the case aciinits) of thii whole system of thingt
in every pait 01 .he |>tovince. is a proposition 1 need not here insist upon. It is tdiniitcd

but this is not the view of the case witli which I have here directly to deal, thuugh it ougUi
not to be kept altogether out of sight. The system which in its general results is tnus
necessarily iielrimental to every interest in the colony, becomes in its application to ti:c
Jrsuiu' estates destructive, or almost so, of their value to the state as an -^ndown .'i.t.
While it exists, the revenue they produce must ever remain trifling and uncertnii: in amount,
costly of colleciion, and burthensome and odious to those from whom it it collec.ed.

tion of a law for the general regitiration of liiln to reaf ettale and of moctgaget, the tamo
tbinc woald become potiible in Lower Canada. In the United Statae ihera ara alto pnbUc
ttooii of uadoubicd credit, in which toch fundt can be inveitad, and which yield an
adequate rate of inicretl. With the conmenccmenl of a new tyatem of thing* in Lower
Canada, it it lo be expected that the tame opporianiliet will exitt then alto. At pretant,
il it unfortunately too true, that it would be hard indeed lo find a teeure and advaniagcont
mode of invetting an educational, or indeed any other fund in the province. But however
tliit may be, it it certainly no let* true, that tKa form in which thit fund exieit at prceent
could hardly be made by any change leu advantageona than it it.
The landt then at pretent unditpoted of muat beaold in free and common toocage, if ihey
are ever lo be made a productive property. At it it an object to diipote of them ai rapidly
and at at good a price at pottible, tney should be at once surveyed and offered for sale, an
invariable condition of sale being caan payment ; a minimum price per arpenl thould bo
fixed, below which no land could oe told, unless by special permittion of the executive oa
talitfactory prcxif given that any particular portion cannot be ditpoted of to high, an^
ought not for the general interest of the calatea to be left watte in the way of the settle-
ment of other portions ; all land should be sold by public auction at stated periods, and a
perfect title abould be given fkee of cost, immediately on the coinpletion of the tale by the
payment of the purobaaa ownoy; socb payment to be (end jlie made within a short
specified time after the day of sale, or the purcbate to be forfeited ; and all monie* received
for land should be promptly invcated in the moat advanlaceous manner that may offer, aa
part of the inalienable principle uf a provincial school fumi.
The price at which tnia hind ought to ba set up for tale must of necettity depend in a
freai measure on the upset price of the watte landa of the Crown, and, without a definite
nowledge of the price proposed for these, I oannot venture on aay thing more than a sug-
gestion in regard to the former. It appeara lo me, however, that a rate of two dollars per
arpent would be low enough to teeure numerous and exieotive purchatet within a tew
years. At present, the gross revenue from all sources (cens et rentes, lods et ventes and
mills together) payable by the censiiaires on iheestaiet, averages a good deal lets than the
ordinary interest on this price would amount to ; but this is not the criterion to be looked
to. It is not worth any man's while, in the present stale of the province, to take these
lands sulyect to burdens of this peculiar character ; but whenever the tide of emigration
shall have again ^et in toward the Canadat, and the rctuitt of t> new policy shall have begun
to manifest themselves in the laud-granting and other departments, and in the reform of
the laws of the province generally, it will become worth while lo pay down a much hisher
price than is now asked in vain tor an ownership of landt which would then indeed be
real, and not as now valuelets because all but illusory.
There it an obvious distinction to be drawn between the case of the Crown lands and that
of the wild lands which form part of the Jesuits' estates. In the sole of the former the
revenue to be realised is not, or at least ought not to be, the object in view ; but the pro-
motion to the utmost possible extent of their settlement and the colonization of the pro-
vince, by meana of it. For this purpose it may be desirable to make the price of such lands
not only payable in cash but fixed and invariable, and to devote the proceeds to particular
uses, having direct reference to the productive and speedy settlement of the lands disposed
of. But in the cose of th*; Jesuits' estates the main object b and myist be revenue; th^
settlement of the land is to be promoted as a means of revenue, and not a revenue to be
collected aa a means of ensuring settlement For thia reason it becomes clearly desirable
that the Jesuits' estate* land be sold by public auction, and that no more of the proceed*
be laid out upon surveys and improvements than a just regard to the productiveness of the
estates as an endowment may be found to warrant.

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
Were Irgitlutive provition made for ilie adoptioti of • lyttem of thia character, the wild
land in Si. Gubriel miglu be convenieotly Mt oflf in two townahip* of about one league aod
a half bv three leagve^ each} that in Baiiican would form seven townships, or rather more,
of two ieag z» by two leagues each ; and that in Cap de la Magdeleine (includiii)c the
forge reserve) would make more than eight such townships. The trifling extent of land
ren^iniDg ungranted in La Prairie might either be sold in village lots (in which case it
might doubtless be made a valuable property), or it might be employed as heretofore de-
signed, if such destination should be made to appear on other accounts more desirable. The
land in Bclair ia of no account. The soo arpentt remaining in Sillcry would doubtless
soon fetch a much higher price per arpent than that at which they were originally set up for
sale; provided always that the land were sold in free and common soccage, and not subject
cither to lods «t ventM or to the other destructive provisions of the old code of provincial
law, as respects real estate.
It is iiardly necessary to add, that nothing like an obligation should be laid on the
person or persons administering the estates to dispose of land in peculiarly favourable
localities, unless at such advance upon the minimum price as should in his or their judcment
be satisfactory. The land in Sillery, from its vicinity to Quebec, the land in the village of
La Prairie, tfie land in the interior of Cap de la Magdeleine, adjacent to falls in the river,
and consequently having water privilege attached to it, and any other land at all similarly
situate eUcwIiere, would come undtr this provision. While it is doubtless desirable that
such land should as soon at possible be brought into use, it by no means follows that for
this object its value to the estates should be lost. It might possibly be desirable, ns a
temporary measure, tliat some of this land should be leased for a term of years; but in
this case the lease should be sold by public auction ; its terms should be such as to meet
the approval of the responsible administrator of the estatet, satisfactory security for
payment of the rental agreed upon should be ret^uired of its purchaser, and above all, iti
should be so limited in duration as to give all desirable opportunity of an early sale of the
property, so soon as an adequate price can be obtained. The system of leasing properties
pf tliis kind is too o|)en to objection, as holding out incentives to fraud and favouritism, to
be adopted as a permanent policy.
II. As regards the nine unsranted arpcnls retr.nining in La Vacherie, and the eight un-
sranted arpents in Three Rivers, a precisely similar course should be pursued. They
should be sold in free and common soccage b< public auction, for cash, at such times as
may appear favourable to their advantageous sale. The time of sale, minimum price, &c.,
should be determined by the considerations just mentioned with reference to land of luucli
higher value than ordinary within the seigniories. A similar provision might be made, if
necessary, for temporarily leasing any parts which may not readily sell to advantage.
III. The land occupied by government, or by other parlies under its permission, is not
of htf^e extent, but Irom its position ia of very considerable value ns a part of the estate*.
It consists of —

Of these properties, I'.ic first is by far the most valuable, and the question relative to its
disposal the most important.
The Jesuits' Cot.lccb. — It will be remembered that the despatch of Lord Goderich,
of 7 July 1831, surrendering the rest of the estates to the disposal of the provincial par-
liament, exprestlj- reserved thia part of them from surrender, except upon condition of the
erection of another barrack by the province to supply its place. The words of the de-
spatch on this subject are as follows :
" I understand that certain buildings on the Jesuits* estates, which were formerly used
for collegiate purposes, have since been uniformly employed as barracks for the Kin{i|'s
troops. It would obviously be highly inconvenient to attempt any immediate change in
this respect ; and I am convinced tliat the Assembly would reject any measure which might
diminish the comforts or endanger the health of the King's forces. If, however, the
Assembly should be ditposed to provide adequate barracks, so as permanently to secure
these important objects, his Majesty will be pre|>ared (upon the completion of such an
arrangement, in a manner satisfactory to your Lordship) to acquiesce in the appropriation
of the buildini^s in question to ihe same purposes as those to which the general funds of
the Jesuits' estates aic now about to be restored."
The committee of the House of Assembly in 1831-3, tc 7^-)m this subject was referred,
reported against any purchase of the Jesuits' college by the province at such a price, and
expressed

«xpreiMd the confident hope that the Qovernment would ere Iodk recede from its demand
of ihit equivalent, and rcilore the college nnconditionallv to its former ate. la the
aetsion of 1835-6, the Jetoiis' ettatet committee for the nnt lime reported (ihoogh in
very guarded language and with atrong exprenioni of complaint against them), in favour
bf a compliance with the termi oftred by Lord Goderich, and presented an estimate of the
probable coat of building a barrack, (90,ooo/. Cy.), and of the probable value of the coUege«
from which the committee inferred the policy of making the purchase at this price rather
than delay the settlement of the question longer. The House, however, took no action
on the subject, and nothing therefore has been effected thna tar towards the attainment of
this object.
This committee of 1835-6, valued the Jesnita' barrack at a very iiigh price. They
aropoaed to open two atreela acrosa the barrack yard, to aell the vacant building lota
fronting on these atreeta, to convert the f;round-iloor of the main barrack building nto
•torea opening on the four atreeta, which in that caae would pass close to it, and to use
the remainder of the building as a college. Thua disposed or, they estimated its value at
5,000/. Cy. a year.* Of the character of this valuation (whether extravagant or not) I
-cannot speak with any degree of confidence, ai the commission had no oppcrtuniiy of
making further inquiry on the subject. It cannot, however, admit of a doubt that the
value of this property la such a* tu make it a mos: material portion of the estates, and its
occupation by the Government a very serious diminution of their value.
Inquiry was made by the commission on the subject of the cost of erection of a new
'barrack, to supply the place of this building. A highly respectable builder in Quebec,
(the individual on whose estiinatea the recommendation of the committee of 1835-6 was
based), atated hiH own readinesa to contract for the erection of a building which ahould
answer the required purposes for 30,000/., as stated by the committee, with an addition,
however, of from 1,000/. to 2,000/. more for some out-buildings not included in his former
plans. For the erection of the barrack, the House had proposed one or other of three
vacant lots owned by the Crown as suitable. It was found, however, on inquiry by the
Gominiasion, that there were strong objectiona against the adoption of either of theae sites.
One would have placed the barracks out<ide the present walls, thereby rendering necessary
new lines of defence to bring it within the range of the fortifications. A second would
have placed it close to the chateau, in a vicinity where its erection must have diminished
materially the value of the adjoining private property, the most valuable perhaps in the
city, and where probably, besides these two objections, it would have interfered more or
less with the defences of the citadel. The third proposed site appeared at first unobjec-
tionable ; but on inquiry of the military authorities the last named objection was found to
lie against it. The repurtinz engineer officer stated, that in case of a siege of Quebec, a
buiidingof the kind required so placed would have the effect of injuring the defences of
the citadel, and would most likely require to be demolished on that account. On the
aubject'Of the cost of erecting the building it must be added, that the clerk of the worka
gave it as his opinion that a much larger sum than 20,000 /., perhaps twice as much, would
be needed for the purpose.
Under all these circumstances, I do not ace how the proposal of Lord Ciodericii can be
complied with. To purchase another piece of ground sufficiently large within the walls,
and so situate as to be unobjectionable on military grounds, and then to erect on thai lot
another building at u cost possibly as great as is suggested by the clerk of tlie workj, would
be to huy even a very valuable properly at a very high price. There is no good reason
why so much cost should be incurred, and so much trouble taken, merely to procure the
use of the identical ground and building once held by the Jesuits, for one branch of the
public service rather than fur another. A barrack being necessary, and the present
building having for so many years served that purpose, it is not flow worth while to build
another, especially as it is questionable wliethei the present building would after all serve
as well for a modern college m ii does fur its present use ; and whether, supposing that it
would, the eatablishiuent of a new college on that particular silef is on other accounts
desirable.
It by no means follows, however, that the lodgment of a great part of Her Majesty's
troops in the province ought to be provided for at the expense of an endowment which
is now admitted on all hands to be of right a strictly educational endowment. It may
admit of debate, whether the burden ought to fall on the provincial chest or on the
Imperiiil Treasury; certainly there can be no sort of reason why the Jesuits' estates fund
ahould bear it; it is more than enough that they have been churned with it so long as they
have. Though it be not worth while to build another barrack in lieu of the present, it is
not therefore the less derogatory to the dignity of the Crown to allow the piesent mis-
appropriation of this part of the estates to continue for its apparent benefit, and appa-
rently uisdt. .ts special direction. Every principle of equity demands the prompt adop-
tion of the course which a due regard lor the honour of the empire would suggest, the
purchase of the Jesuits' barracks for their present use, by the transfer of a fair acknow-
ledged equivalent for them to the account of the Jesuits' estates ; till this be dnne, the
occupation

So long as • provincial parliament exioted with control u«er the provincial chett, Her
M^^mty'a Government might indeed, with tome appearance of reaaon, throw the cmut
of the retention of the barracks on that <ii)dy, on the plea that the erection of lucb a
building should of right be undertaken at the rust of the province, and that its legislature,
thercfure^ by refnaing or neglntcting to undertake it, was virtually the party on whom tiie
Mcupation of the present Mrrack was to be charged. In the altered state of things this
pleanaa no longer any force whatever ; Her Majesty's Government have now by law such
control over the provincial revenue, that it is in their power, if they deem the erection
of a barrack a suitable object for provincial expenditure, to appropriate from that source to
that object.
If, ou the other hand, it is thought that in the present condition of the colonial rcvenne
anch an expense ought not to be or cannot be cnrried to its account, it is still within the
power of Government to make the required purchase in another way, without direct
cost to the revenue, provincial or Imperial. It would be easy to transfer to the account
«f the Jesuits' college an equivnient in wild Innd for the late Jesuits' college, the college
and gtoands beins for this purpose fairly valued * in current money, and an amount of
Crown land set ua for it, whicli, at a reasonable reduction from the fixed upset price of
Ctown land, should be held equivalent to sach sum of money. In that case, the land so
transferred ought to be disposed of in all respects as it has been shown that the wild land
already belonging to the estates should be. For this purpose it ought, if possible, to be
one block, and so situate as to fall readily under the same management with the existing
•atates. A tract in rear of the seigniory of ChampUin and its augmentation, joining the
nngrauled lands in Batiscan and Cap de la Magdeleine, might perhaps be ibund the moat
suitable for this purpose.
The Land at Tadovrsac. — ^To determine the value of this property, it is necessary to
ascertain whether or not the six arpents eranted to the Jesuits are now occupied as the site of
the warehouses leased to the Hudson's Bay Company at that place. If they are, this land
forms a valuable portion of the tract leased to the company, and a due proportion of the
rental paid by the company ought to be naid to the account of the estates, for its use ; or
else (as proposed in the case of the Jesuits' College) a fuir equivalent for it should be
granted by tne Crown ur Province (whichever of the two may hereafter receive the proceeds
of the company's lease, to the Ciitaies. If Mr. Stewart's opinion be found correct as to the
lite of this land, then fur the present at least it cannot be said to have any assignable
valne.t
The Cmubch and House of the Jesuits in Three Rivera. — The occupation
of these buildings for their present purpose lias been made a subject of much local com-
plaint. By tlie Committee of the Uuuae of Assembly, they were represented to be in equity
the properly of the Koman Catholic inhabitants uf Three Rivers, whose forefathers (accord-
ing to the Committee) erected them for the Jesuits who resided there and officiated as
ttieir paro<rhinl clergy. I have not been able to make any personal inquiry into the merits
of this claim. As there is now another church erected in Three Rivers, by the Roman
Catholic inliabitnnt!) of the place, fully adequate to their accommodation, theie is pt'riiaps
no sutticient rensoii (whatever the merits of this claim) why these particular buildings should
now be diverted from the use to which they have been put for more than 30 years.
Supposing them, however, to be still occu|>ied as at present, there is no propriety in making
the ex|;enses of a Protestant Episcopal Church in Three Rivers fall in great part on an
endowment fur general educatiunal purposes in the province. The Government having
seen fit to autliori?e the occupation of this property fur its present use, should uiuke good
the lossiu the estates, if not by the restoration of the identical property, at least by the
grant of a 8atii>factory equivalent. Such equivalent should go to the general fund of the
estates, iinieso indeed the claim of the inhabitants of Three Rivers, abuve referred tu,
•faoiild prove, on further inquiry, to be founded on equity.
Thf. Site op tue Jesuits' Hoi-ss iv Mumtkeal. — By the letter of Lord Gode-
rich's despatch (which excepted only the Jesuits' Barracks) this property was placed iu
1831 at the disposal of the provincial poiliameut. It is occupied by the district court-
house

{dace while this endowment wm in the hands of the Crown, it rc*t* witn the Crown, now
that it it acknowledged to have rightfully another and very different deatinaiion, lo make
up, if pouibie, for iu Iom.*
Should Mr. Kin;l«r't paiertion, that the land known a* the " Government Gardens" forma
part of the lot bek Ij the Jesuits, prove on inquiry to be correct, there is no reason why
that piece of land should not be restored to the estates ; as, though valuable, it is not occu-
pied by buildings of any kind.
IV. The lancToecupied in Three Rivers by the Trustees of the common is held on the
strength of an asserted agreement made by the inhabitants of Three Rivers with the Jeauits.
How far the validity of this agreement it tairiy a matter of dirpule, does not appear from
any thing in the commissioner s teiwm, or in the reports mede to the House of Assembly;
nor had I any opportunity Id Canada to make particular inquiry on the point. Should the
claim of the trusteefc, however, prove to be without foundation, the land in queation oitght
to be disposed of as above suggested in the case of the other lands belonging to the estates,
and not yet alienated.
If the course of meatniiA indicated in the preceding remarks be adopted, there is every
reason to believe that ibe portiona of the Jesuits' esutes heretofore unproductive will be
made to yield within a very few years a larger revenue than has ever yet oeen drawn horn
so much of the estates as up to this time bat been productive. Eventually thi'y may be
expected to produce a revenue woitby of the use to which it it devoted.
1l''j!l

Cap. VII.
The MnAsriKS required to obtain from the PRopEaTiEs heretofore productive
their utmost net value.
On this subject I propose to follow the order of arrangement in speaking of the'severd
productive properties which is laid down in Cap. V.
I. The Concessions. — From what has been already uiged, the propriety of an equitable
commutation of the tenure on the conceded ns well as on the unconceded portion of the
estates mast be sufficiently obvious. So long as the present tenure obtains in the con-
ceded portion, so long its existence there must operate to the disadvantage of the estates, a?
regards the disposal of the land in rear of them not yet conceded, the tenure of which, as I
have already shown, must be changed, to give it value in the market at all. So long also
must the revenue from the conceuion continue uncertain and difficult of collection, the
accumulation of arrears on it unavoidable, and the expenses of its collection unduly
heavy.
It may be added, at a further m <iment (if indeed that be necessary), that the change of
tenure, which must ere long be ei (ually provided for by law throughout the provmce,
will soon make it impottible to suttain the present system in this particular fraction of its
territory.
What specific legal provisions would best answer the end proposed, it is necessarily out
of my power to state. Their charucler must depend on that oi'the enactments which it is
proposed to make for the same object in other parts of the province ; and in ignorance of
these, I cannot do more than state generally the necessity of such nn enactment for these.
How fur the commutation must or shoulcl be voluntary on the part of each censitaire, or
bow far it can be made legally or in effect unavoidable on his part — how the amount of
compensation payable for the redemption uf his land from further charges. Sec, should be
calculated — wheu such compensation should be paid ; these and other questions must be
settled, fur the Jesuits' estates, to a considerable extent at least, on the same general prin-
ciples by which their decision is regulated in the case of the Island of Montreal, and of
the province generally.
The
• Tlir jtoniTftl principle on which I have insistccl, in xiK'nkinR uf thcuc four proiH'rtics, would pvrliapn right-
fully admit of applictttiou to the " free nimita " made by thu Crown in La Viichcric and the city of Qucbvo

people," and "tliat the revenue which may result from that property (tlic estates^ should be ref^rded as
hiviolahly and i^xclosively applicable to that purpone." After wch an adniisnion, the honour of the Cn>wn

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
i
The direct adfanlage to tlie revenue of the eautet, of « eommntaUoD eflfected oa equi*
table prineiplct, wonM consist in (be substitution (within a few years) of an easily maaaged
tend, for one of which some 36 or more per cent, runs yearly into arrear, and another ao per
eent.ot thereabouts is lost in expenses of collection. Supposing the amount to be paid in
for commutation of tenure to be a fair equivalent, or in other words, to yield an amount oc
interest eoual to the average of yearly payment that should fall due on the conceasions— say
only for tne 10 years to come — the saving of arrear and. costs could not fail to make the
exaianve every way advantageous to the estates.
II. "nie land sold en ooostitut, or leased, for settlement and culiivation.— -So far as the
land sold en coosiiiut is liable to the charge of lods et ventea, the proposed change of
tenure woaM necessarily affect its purchasers as well as the censiiaries. Except in ihia
pMticolar, no change can be eftecied on this species of property. The temu of sale are
positive and admit of no modification. Tlie extent of land tnua disposed of is trifling, and
the interest upon it is therefore tolerably easy of collection; so tliat this impossibility is
comparatively uuimportant. As the capital due upon it is paid in, it should be invested
with the other capiul of the estates.
The leased farms, as their leases fall in, should be sold by public auction for cash, if hy
such sale their full value can be realised. If not, they should be again leased for mode-
rately short periods, till an opportunity for their advantageous sale may offer. As suggested
in the previous chapter, however, it is important to require that all such leases be sold by
public auction to the highest bidder who can give security to the estates for punctual
payment of the rectal he offers.
III. The house lots disposed of by sulc en constitut or its equivolei^t, are in precisely
the same potiiion with the lands sold in the same way for cultivation just spoken of.
IV. The milb, with the proposed change of tenure, the right to monopoly on the part
of the seigniorial mill», would of necessity fall to the gronno. So far, therefore, as this
monopoly conduces to their value, a compensation for its loss would of course require to
be made .n the sum payable from each censitaire for the change of tenure. The mills
themselves should as soon as posnibje be sold by public auction, as proposed in the case
of the other properties. Till such time as a fair price may be obtainable lor them, it
would be necessary to continue to lease them, still, however, under all the conditions
already mentioned. The heavy expenses incurred on (he mills (apart from nil other
more general considerations) prove the necessity of selling them as soon as possible.
Their expenses might perhaps lio kept down to some extent by a better system of
management; but after the loss of the monopoly they now enjoy, it is impossible they
should long continue a profitable property in'tne hands of any administrator empowered
only to lease them.
V. The coves, saw-log<i, ferries and forge reserve. — So far as the coves, snw-logs and
ferries are concerned, it is enough to remark, thiit the principles already laid down in
reference to the other leased properties urc equally applicable to their case. The forge
reserve alone, from its peculiar character, requires a separate consideration.
From a report addressed by the Hon. M. Bell (for many years the lessee of the
St. Maurice forges) to his Excellency Lord Aylmer, in April 1835, ^hilu the question of a
renewal of his lease was under coniiderHtion, it appears that a capital of 48,072/. 105. 6d,
currency was at that ' me invested by him in the forges, and that they could not be advan>
tageousiy conducted by uiiy dho not possessed of at least that amount of cupiiul. The
forge reserve from the seijiniory of Cap de in Magdeleine, if it be hereafter leased nt all,
must of necessity be leastd to the hulclpr of these forges, and the extent of the capital
required on the part of the lessee renders it almost impossible that any thing like adequate
competition should ever exist among capitalists for the purchase of a few years' l>>ase of a
property of such a character. The provision for leasing by public auction becomes there-
fore in this cnse nugatory.
It is not easy to perceive, however, (he necessity of any such reserve at all fur the
maintenance of the iron-works of the St. Maurice. Fire-wood, charcoal and iron are
the articles to be obtained, the former from the neighbouring woods, the latter from the
surfece of the surrounding country, over which it is found scattered in masses inure or less
plentifully for many miles. But wiio would hence infer the necessity of keeping whole
leagues of territory in every direction from the iron-works an uncleared forest, and of thereby
arresting the progiesf of settlement along the whole course of one of the finest rivers of a
large province^ Would any man propose to set apart a wide waste for n " Sieam-hoat
Reserve" close to a city, because steam-boats require a vast supply of wood for fuel ? Yet
this, in its effect, were not so 1)0(1 ns whac is done for the town of Three Rivers and its
neighbourlioo<t by the lease which murks out the " Furgu Reserve." This latter not merely
cuts off an adjoining tract of land fruui cultivation, but effectually lakes away all the
back country the town would otherwise have hud, and closes the very river un which ii
depends .iguinst it.
l( ilie land nuw reserved for ilic forges were sold (as the general interests of this section
of couiiiry clearly demand that it siiuuld be) to bund-fide settlers, the se'ilers must of
necessitysetihemselvestoclearulf the timber from it, and yet could not clear it ull off fur muciy
yenrs. For oil this period, it could be procured of them for the forges nt a very reasonable
rate, as luw, doubtless, as nt present, probably lower. The ore too would bu worililess to
the settler, except as H coiniuodity t(i sell ;it the forges; and this, thciefore, would be i>b-
tainuble at a moderate cost, so lont; as ore should be found in ihe neiglibunihuud tit
all. As the supply uf wuml and ore in the ininiediaic vicinity gradually fiiiln, both must uf

counc be tou^ht «t an increasing dittance ; but how much belter and more cheaply can
Ihii be done, if the inlenrening space be a setileJ country with public roads thiongh ii', than
if it remains wild and tmversra only by such paths as those who seek the wood and ore
mav make through it !
By the terms of concesaion under the feudal tenure, all mines and metalt are reserved
as the property of the Crown. The Jesuits' estates, therefore, may be said to have no right
to the iron ore on the forge reserve. Except in so far as the Act commuting the tenure
might otherwise provide, the Crown would in fact still retain the right to take the ore from
any part, sold or unsold, of the seigniory in which it lies. A right like this, however, as
it appears to me, it is very far from desirable to exercise. Must not the Crown derive (or
the very lowest estimate) as much revenue from the increased value given to the land from
its being sold without a reservation of this kind, as it can derive from the mere exercise of
this rigni, preventing, as that exercise does, the sale of vast quantities of land altogether ?
Atfd can it be a question by which of the two courses the public welfare will be best pro-
moled 1 Whether in abandoning this right in the cnse of the seigniory of Cap de la Mag-
deleine, it niuy or may not be desirMble to provide by the Cunimutaiioii Act for a compensa-
tion on account of it from the estates to the Crowu, is another question. The amount of
such compensation could not be more than trifling ; and it does not appear to me to be
worth while to take it into account.
On the exiiiration, then, of the present lease in 1844, I think it on all accounts desirable
that this land be surveyed oud offered for sale, along with the other ungranted land in the
seigniory. In fact, till this shall have been done, it is not likely that the ungranted land
in rear of the reserve (more than aoo,ooo arpents) can be sold 10 any very considerable ex-
tent. Till such time as it may be sold, it may be well to grant permiuion (for a fair com-
pensation) to the lessee or holder of the forges to draw wood and ore from it ; but such
permission should on no account stand in the way of a bond fide sale of any pnrt of it ai
any time for settlement and cultivation.
In this chapter and the preceding, I have not spoken of the increased productiveness of
the estates, which may be made to result from a belter system of appointing and paying
those charged with their administration. This subject belongs rather to the concluding
chapter of the report.
Cop. VIII.
The Amount of Arrears now actually due on the Estatiss; and the Measures
by which so much of them as can be collected at nil, nttiy be best mid soonest reiili»ed.
It is apparent from the statements made in Cap. IV., on the subject of the returns of
arreur on the several properties of the estates, thiit they alTord no means of estimating the
gross umount of arrear actually due with r.ny approach to correctness. For several of the
properties, no return of arrears is attempted ; for sevcrni others thf: return is imperfect, not
including lods et ventes ; and in almost every iustunce, us rigurds vens et rentes, the re-
turns are found to be so inconsistent with themselves as utterly to preclude faith in iheir
correctness. Under these circumstances, my remarks on the subject of arrears mutt of
necessity be of a very general character.
From the face of the returns (A. 3,) (A. 6.) and (C.) the sum total of "ascertained"
orreiir due on the properties for which returns are given .on the 30ih September 1837, was
about 14,700/. Cy. adding to this the additiunaT sum "conjectured to be due in La
Prairie, the loial is raised to about 15,500/. Cy.
In these returns, however, it must be remembered that several quite heavy irems are
either omitted altogether or else reported so low as to prove the return grossly erroneous.
From the seigniories in the Quebec agency, in particular, the statement ot' arrears 00
lods et ventes is scarcely attempted in any instance, about 230/., only being called the
total gross arrear in the two seigniories, fur which alone any return is pretended.
That the above amount must fall short of the truth, even for the pioperties on which
it is returned, is indeed sufficiently clear from the fact already stated in Cap. III., that
the returns show an increase of arrear on these very properties for the six years between
1831 and 1837 of more than 8,000/. Cy. It may be true, and I believe it is, that
the increase ot arrear has been considerably more rapid for the last six years than before ;
but it cannot for a moment be supposed to huve been so much more rapid, as that the last
six years' arrears should be actually larger than the whole arrear due from all former years.
In support of this presumption, it further appears from the tenor of the reoorts of the
commiitcc ot the House ot Assembly, as well as from the provisiona of tneir bill of
1835-6 on this topic, that the umount of arrear of very old standing was looked upon by
them lis consiiluting a considerable proportion of the loial arrear due. The bill, in (act,
Iirocecded on the nssumpiion, that upon a great many farms the arrears were so heavy us
to equnl, if not to exceed, their entire value, and the relief it offered consisted in the
remission of :>tirh arrears as should be found to have been incurred by former holders of
the same, and not expressly assumed by their present holders. If, however, the total
uriear of earlier date than 1S31 be supposed (iis the returns make it) about7,ooo/. currency
only, a provision like this is quite unintelligible.
1 cannot pretend to conjeciure the true aiiiouni ut prtsent due. That it must he several
thousand pouuJs at least greater than the above-returned amount is suAicieiitly certain.
It must nut lie forgotten that another year and a half has now elupiied since September

Ithin the leiKnioriea, and the remaining Sfiool. or thereabout on the other
■unrcnof revenue. Thedeftciency of the returns, no doubt, affects mainly the former
of these two items, though the latter is by no meani aoouratc.
There is no good reason for supposing it impossible, by legislative and administrative
measures toother, to oollect witnin a few years ahnost toe whole amoont of the arrears
due; unless indeed it be found (us the returns eive but too much reason to fear it may be).,
that the agents' acccounts with the oeositaires nave been so ill kept, as ti afford no lesal
evidence of the amount really due from them. It is not desirable, however, to preu haider
upon the debtors of the estates than is abaolutely necessary ; a term of yean should be
granted, therefore, within which the paymenu due should be required in regular iiistal-
ments ; and in settling the amount due on the concessions, it would be well to remit all
debts to the estates lor which the holders bond ^dt in possession at a specified date are
not through their own act directly responsible. These prraeipleB formed the basis of a late
provinciaT Act for tlie recovery of debu due to the King's domain, which Act has been
found, I believe, to work unexceptionably. They were recogniaed also in tlie Bill of
1835-6 on the 'Jesuits' estates.
TYie reduction proposed to be made by the second of these provisions cannot (so far as
the returns are at all admitted as evidence) amount to a very large proportion of the whole
sum due. Probably, it would be quite safe 10 say, that after it shall have been made,
there will still remain a large amount to be paid up by instalment than the whole sum
which appears on the retiuns. Indeed, except as a oonsequence of moat grossly deficient
accounts, I think it might reasonably be expected, that by a law of the required tenor,
and a faithful and judicious administration cf the estates under such a law, an amount
exceeding ao,ooo/. would be realized on this account in the course of the term of years to
be prescribed by law for such collection.
It is obvious to remark, that all monies thus collected on account of arrears should be
promptly invested as so much capital belonging to the general fund which it is the object
of the series of measures 1 propose to form out of the Jesuits' estates. .
Cap. IX.
Tlie Amount of Monies belonging to the Estates accumulated in the Provincial
Treasury since 1831, and the Measures to be adopted to render it a productive
Fund.
It baa been already mentioned in Cap. II., that in consequence of the provisions of the
Provincial Act, 3 will. 4, c. 41, the net proceeds of the estates have been accumultting
in the hands of the receiver-general of the province since the month of October 1S33.
By reference to the accompanying paper marked (E.), it will be seen tliat the reports
of the receiver-general show that on the loth of April 1838 there stood on his books,
credited to the estates, the sum of 12,686/. 6s. \old. sterling,* or 14,095/. 18 «. ga.
currency. A note from the commissioner of the Jesuits' estates, dated 61I1 October 1S38,
informed the education commission that he had on that day paid over to the receiver-
general a foriher sum of 833 /. 4 «. o ) (f . currency, thus showing the gross amount in the
receiver-general's hands at the close of the financial half-year ending loih October 1838
to have been 14,939/. 2 «. 9 }</. currency, or possibly a trifle more, as the receiver-general
occasionally receives vmall amounts obtained by legal proceedings, without their passing
through ihe commissioner's hands.f
The addition of the next six months' income, ending loth April 1839, will probably be
somewhat below the average, as the expenses of the returns to the education commission
will perhaps be charged upon the half-year's receipts. It is probable, howevei. that at
the present time the sum appearing on the receiver-general's books as belonging to the
estates exceeds rather than falls short of 15,500 /. currency.
To this amount, as intimated in Caps. II. and IV., I have to claim that two further
sums ought <>f right to be added, by transfer from other branches of the provincial revenue,
lo which they have been improperly carried.
The smaller of these is shown on p. 128 of this report, and the pages following, to be

following cootideraiiona aie onioy weight, from the ecconnt of the general revcnne of the
province.
The receiver-generart booki thow on October 10, 1831, a balance credited to the estates
of 8,09o/. i6<. 3<l. sterling, or 8,^i4 /. 01. Q^d. Cy. At this time the estates were Ri««n
over to tlie disposal of the provincial legislatare. The tenor of the Act of 3 Will. 4.
c. 41, which passed into a law in February 1839, has been already stated, (ice p. 101.)
This Act provides that all monies from the Jesuits' estates, " which now are in or may here-
after come into the hands of ihe receiver-general, fcc.," shall be applied " to the purposes
of education exclusively," 8cc. On September 93, 1833, more than a year subsequent to
the sunrender of the estates to the provincial parliament, and seven months after the
passage of the above law, the sum of 7,154/. 151. 4id. Cy. was transferred to the general
revenue, by order of the provincial executive. For the explanation of the reason given
for this order, it is neceuary to go back to some transactions of an early date in the
history of the estates.
Fur a number of years rSwt rhe first occupation of the estates by the Crown, their
revenue was kept as already stated, i 1 tlie hands of a treasurer of the estates. During the
period of the receiver-generalships of Henry Caldwell, esq., ond his son Sir John Caldwell,
this office was lieid by them with that of receiver-general. Mr. Henry Caldwell, at the
time of his death, was jndebted in a considerable sum to the Jesuits' estates ; and all his real
estate stood pledged to Government on account of this debt. The bulk of his estate de-
scended to his son. Sir John Caldwell, who succeeded to both his father's offices, and
became the party liable for the above debt to the estates. A smaller portion of it was left
to his daughter. On the discovery of Sir John Caldwell's defalcation, the Crown proceeded
against his estate in behalf of the province, and in some of ihi; suits instituted on this
account was in danger of defeat, in consequence of the existence of certain mortgages on
properties inherited by him from his father, which mortgage* bore date prior to Sir John's
liabilities as receiver-general, but later than the date of his father's debt to the Jesuits*
esutes. The Crown proceeded, therefore, in these cases, to prosecute in behalf of the
Jesuits' estates, and by so doing recovered in the spring ot 1830, to the amount of
7,154/. ijf. 4(f. Cy. Another amount of 1,380/. 3*. 4 d. Cy.* was recovered abont the
same time for the Jesuits' estates from that part of Mr. H. Caldwell's property which had
been left to his daughter, and had never therefore become liable for Sir John's debts to ihe
province. In Lord Goderich's despatch uf July 7, 1831, a distinction is drawn between
these two sums ; the former being spoken of as more properly belonging to the general
revenue, the latter clearly to the estates. Mo reason for this distinction is given in the
despatch; but I find the omission supplied by the evidence of T. F. Elliot, esq., before a
Committee of the House of Commons ; where it is stated, tliat " it was deemed more
gracious" on the part of the Ciown to give up this money (to which it might be urged
that the general revenue of the province had a sort uf concurrent claim with the Jesuits'
estates) to the general revenue of which the provincial puiliauient had the entire disposal,
jralher than to retain it for the Jesuits' estates, " which were not then under the control of
the legislature."
It does not appear to me that this reasoning is by any means conclusive. It was the
object of the very despatch in question to place tlie Jesuits' estates " under the control
of the legislature;" sotliat the distinction set up between the two revenues is destroyed by
the document which proceeds to draw conclusions from it. Nur, indeed, supposing this
were not so, do I see the justice of admitting tiie existence of any concurrent claim, such
as the argument supposes. The province had, upon the properties in question, in point
of fact, no claim at ail, inasmuch as its claim was barred by those of a third party hold-
ing mortgages, which took those properties out of the reach of the Crown, except as
bolder ot the Jesuits' estates claim. This last was the only claim worth any thing in the
case. Had the Crown, indeed, retained the general disposition of the Jesuits' estates, it
might have been a " gracious" proceeding on its part to abandon this part of tlieir revenue
to the legislature, for general or for specific purposes ; but as the case really stood, the whole
proceeding seems to me to have originated in n complete misconception of its merits.
But, supposing the distinction ever so jusi; all that can fairly be inferred from the
despatch is, after all, this; ihut the legislature « u to have the one sum submitted to its
dispowl for any purpose it might think fit to nam , and the other for educational purposes
only. It is preposterous to suppose that a despatch could bar the right of the provincial
parliament by Act (assented to by the Crown), t» appropriate both, it it saw fit, to educa-
tional purposes. That this was done by the a Will. 4.C. 41, is perfectly obvious. Both
the sums had " arisen out of the Jesuits' estates ; at the time of the passage of the Act,
both were in the receiver-genen-l's hands ; and they must both have stood credited to
the estates (else how could the transfer from the estates have taken place a year after-
wards?) on the receiver-general's books. Now, the provision ol' the Act is peremptory, and
without reserve or exception, that " all" such monies should be inalienably applied for
public education. If it be said that possibly this provision was not meant to bear iliis con-
struction, a glance at the report of the committee who drew up the bill will suffice to show
beyond the possibility of a doubt, that it was not only intended, but was unequivocally
declared

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE nFFAIRS OF
declared by iw auiliort to bear this meaning and no otiter. The wordt of the commiliee's
report are aa follow*: "The 7,154/., (U:.,*and the 1,380/., 8lc.,* mentioned in the detpatch
a* belonging to the etiatet, yonr conomittee find are in the handi of the receiver-general,
and included in the balauce of oath io hand by the ttatement laid before the Houae, dated
ilie «8th November but, and aoionnting to 90,807/. igi.id.
" Yovr committee are of opinion that legislative pruviiion ought to be made, that tbe
above balance of8,43g/. &c.*and the gron revenue oftheetutea for the current year «bonld
b« phiced in a leparate chett," ftc. " aiid that no part of it be iatued but for tbe purpoM* of
■wnagement ann education ezcltttively,"8us.
The bill reported for the purpoMt thus itatcd by thit committee became a law. The
letter of it* eoactment* was cIcArly violated by tbe tranifer in question ; and this report
■bows their intention 10 have been no less clearly set aside. There can be no reason
why a transfer thus manifestly contrary to law, and founded in misconception from fir*t to
last, should not be at once cancelled, and the amount again carried to the books of the
estates.
The whole amount, then, which ought to appear on the receiver-general's accounts as
belonging to the estates is about 99,900/. currency.
This sum or the greaier part of it, it appears to me, should be promptly invested as
capital, within the province, in whatever manner may promise the best return upon it. It
would ibrm a fund with which to commence the proposed system of investment, which (as
I have argued) ought to be extended, u* fast as circuinsiances may allow, to all the other
pnpertie* belonging to this endowment. A part of it, it might be found advisable to ex-
pend on the surveys and improvements which will be necessary to bring the nngranted
laod into tlie maritet and give it a real value.
It was enacted by the 3 Will. 4. c. 41, il' .t the monies in the provincial treasury
beioaging (0 tlie estates should be " placed in a separate chest in the vaults wherein the
public monies of tlie province are kept." This, as 1 have already stated, baa not been done,
and the monies in question have therefore to be drawn from the balance of unappro-
priated monies in the public chest: It is very possible, from the drain upon the treasury
which recent eveniA have caused, that it miiy not consist with the exigencies cf the public
service to have the whole sum immediately drawn out of the receiv-ir-general's bands. In
this case, the amount retained s'lould bear the same rate of interest to the estates fund for
the period during which it shall be loaned to the province, which would otherwise have
been procurable by its investment, as above propiosed. The interest which haj already
been lost to the estates by the way in which these monies have been left to accumulate
would amount to several thousand pounds. There is no propriety in allowing any turiber
loss of this character to take place.
Cap. X.
The General Octlines of the System which should be odopted for the future
Management of the Estates ; and the Means by whicl^ the required Changes
can best be introduced.
It has been already shown, (tee Cap. V.) that one — and that not the least powerful —
cause of the sinalluess of ihe revenue the Jesuits' estates have yielded, has been the mode
of appointing and paying the officers who are charged with its collection. The measures
which in my opinion arc required on this account m<>y be easily inferred from the remarks
offered in that chapter on the defects of the present system, and the faulty character of the
system which the House of Assembly would have substituted in its stead.
Tlie Jesuits' estates, to be well managed, should be placed in the hands of a single ad-
ministrator, who should be clothed withali the powers necessary to enable him to do justice
to his trust, should be subject to the strictest responsibility to the executive and to the
provincial parliament— should be so well paid as to require no other income thi.>i his
official emoluments — and should hold his office by such a tenure, and be paid in suet. ■>
manner u to be placed under the strongest possible inducements to a punctual and
economical collection of every class of revenue.
The general provisions of the bill of 1835-6, in regard to the mode of appointment of
the three administrators proposed by it, might with propriety be adopted for th."* appoint-
ment of this office. He should be appointed by the Governor and Council of the province —
should be required to give satisfactory securities for the faithful discharge of all the
pecuniary obligations of his office, and should be empowered by law to sue in behalf of the
estates in his own name, as a trustee, and not in the name of tbe Crown.
The administrator ought further to have power by virtue of his commission, to employ
agents at his own discretion, on his own terms, and at his own risk. All agents duly ap-
pointed by :he administrator should be empowered to perform any of his duties which ho
may delegate to them ; but beyond this the law should take no account of them. The
responsibility for every official net, whether done by himself or by deputy, should rest solely
with the administrator, and he must therefore of necessity be allowett full power, as regards
the manner and amount of their payment, their duties, accounts, 8lc.

Tha •dminUtrator thould be rvfiuired to make « Aill yearly report, detailiog all the
iranMCliont ol' llie pnu year, thnwing the ttaie of hh aceoonit, the actual Mate of aaoh of
the propertie* and invedmenis under hit cart, and offering luch tnggcation* at ho may
have to make to Parliament or to the exeouiiw, as to any legitlativc or other meaiurta
noi in hit own power to take, wliioh ha may deem advisable. This report •hoald be laid
before the provincial legitlatnre immediately after the commencement of iti regular
■euion. Betides thit yearly report, it would of courte be incumbent on the administrator
to make answer or report on any tpeoiai tuttjcct of inquiry, whenever called upon by the
cxecntiva or by either Houte of Parliament to do ao.
1 am of opinion, that to ensure the faithful discharge of the adminittrator't duties, it
would be adviaable to make hit tenure of ofRce " during good behaviour," and not " during
the pleasure of the Crown ;" if so, he should be liable to impeachment before a speoiScd
legal tribunal (the su|lremc court, should auch a tribunal be created, at it ceruinly ought,
or whatever court may be veaied br law witli the hiahett jurisdiction known within the
province), at the instance of either branch of the lenslaiure or of the executive Neglect
of duty of any kind, and not {positive corruption or deialoation only, should be made matter
of impeachment, on proof of which the court should award at its discretion loss ol office,
or forfeiture, in whole or part, of recogniiani'cs (the latter only in case of defalcation or
loss to the estates by corrupt practices or gross remissness), or both. Deralcatioo or
fraudulent practices of any kind should further be matter for criminal procedure by
ordinary course of law, in all cases where sentence of removal from office may have been
pronounced by such court on either of these charges, and the law officers ot the Crown
Nhould be held bound to prosecute accordingly. Except, however, by sentenoo duly
pronounced after trial by a judicature of the highest and most impartial character to be
found in the province, he should not be removable, or his recogniiances liable to
forfeiture. An officer removable at pleasure by the executive cannot act with the decision
iiecessnry to tlie successful discharge of such duties as must devolve on an administrator
of the Jesuits' estates. No officer, indeed, who is liable to heavy charges from interested
or party motives should be exposed, unlets ftom sheer necessity, to the temptations and
risks with which such a tenure of his office surrounds him ; nor indeed ought ao fertile a
source of dissension as it neceuarily creates between the popular branch of the Legis«
lature and the Government to be kept open.
It would probably not be desirable to charse the administrator of the estates with the
duties of a treasurer more than may be founa absolutely necessary, since by so doing it
would be made so much lest easy to check his accounts, to sav nothing of the increased
amount of the securities which such a course would require to iie given in his behalf. It
would be easy to require prompt payment of all monies collected by him on special deposit
into the hands of the receiver-general, till such time as the same may be required for the
public service; in this case it would be necessary that this payment should be made at
rfaaonably short intervals, and that the distinction should always be preserved in making
it between the monies received «> eurreat income to be expended, and those received as
capital to be re-invested. The former alone should constitute the fund sul>ject to appro-
priation for educational purposes ; the latter (with such deduction only as may be neces-
sary on account of expenses of collection, &c.) should be regarded as Inalienable. The
administrator should not be allowed to make any deduction trom monies received before
paying them over to tlie receiver-general, except in cases where such deduction may be
unavoidable, and then wholly at his own risk, such items being charged as so much paid
towards his allowances as administrator. If disallowed when Ills accounts shall come u|
for audit. No fees, it is obvious, should be allowed ou any warrant or other form of Instru-
ment by which monies belonging to the estates may be drawn from the receiver-general's
hands, whether for transfer as capital to a new investment, or for payment of expenses
of management, or of appropriations for educational uses.
It would be necessary, b^- legislation of the general character proposed in Caps. VI. VII.
and VIII. to give the administrator |>ower to collect the arrears due on the estates, to effect
tlie change ot tenure upon them, and to dispose by public auction of the land not yet
granted. Sic. tic. The same law or laws which should invest him with these powers
would prescribe also his duties In the disoharge of them. From the short period of tiu-.s
to which my inquiries have been limited, I am unable to do more at present than suggest,
as in the chapters referred to I have suggeste<l, the general principles upon which the
legislature and other measures required should proceed.
Tlie emulumenu of the administrator should not be fixed in their amount, and regular,
but should be drawn from fixe<l allowances on the monies collected, the rate of percentage
to varv accordini; to the difficulty or cose of each diH'erent kind of collection he may have
to vauke, to cover tlin entire charge ou account of collection which can be brought upon
the estates, and to be culculal^, not up<m the gross receipts, but upon the amount
remaining after the deduction of such necessary expenses us it may not be desirable to
place (as all agents' cliorges and minor " incidentals would be placed) at the cost of the
administrator out of liis allowances.
Without further inquiry, I could not draw up a tariff of allowances on the system above
suggested; but after the further inquiry which is necessary to determine witli precision the
requirements of such laws as should secure the objects proposed, It would be easy to do so.
Wherever, from tlie nature of the collection, the administrator might be under the necessity
of employing agents or keeping open offices for particular purposes, his allowance should
be high enough to caablu liim tu do so, and yet derive adequate compensation for his time

eaee of the administrator and make his tennre of ofloe in fact as well as in name,.
** daring good behnviear," it woaM be neoessary to provide, that the rates of allowance,
•aoe tnd, shonid not be liable to rcduotioa daring tne ineambenoy of the administrator,
for whom they were appointed i so that that oOeer may be secure of ei^oying (as long as
he shall discharge his duties faithfully) the fall advmitage of any ccoaomioil arrangements
he may inlrodncc into hia dcpartnseni. The administraior's claim for allowance* due to
him sMnM be andited periodically (say, every six months), at the same lime witli the rest
•f hia accounts for the period in ooestion, and by the same officer or officers as may b«>
appointed for the audit of other public accounts. Should the adminiatrator be dissatisfied
«i aoeonat of iha disallowance of particular items 1^ the auditing officer, his appeal should
lie to a specified oonrt of law, ana the jodfies consiilutinc snch court shoula prouounce
definitively on the merits of the case. A like course sboiild be followed, in case of com-
phiM by either branch of tlie legislature, against the mode in which the administrator's
•ecounts may be audited, and his chiims allowed.
The result of this system would be, that the rate of charge for administration would be
eantinually decreasing, as the gradual transfer of the property from its present ditadvan-
togaoua form of investment to a better form shall be going on. From the first, under such
• aystem, the administrator might be adequately remunerated, and all other neceasary
•xpense defrayed at a less cost thisn is at present incurred. Every year would add to the
productiveness, while it would lessen the expenses of ilie estates. In hns ilian twenty
yenra, it may safely be presumed iImi a great pari, if not the whole, of the land now nndii-
posed of, would have been sold, and its proceeds advaniaseously invested. In ten yean, or
perhapa less, the chance of tennre would probably have been made to lake efiVci over most
tf not all of the concetwd portion; and the present almost >' ossible collection of cent et
Mntes and lods et venies, converted into an easy and pL ual receipt of dividend* on
stock, or interest on loans, of approved and undoul >ed oi«dit. Every such imvettment of
•apital (made aa proposed within the provinoe> w juld be so much added to tlic available
rcaouroes of the province ; just as every penny of the money at present collected or claimed
from the censilaires who liold under the estates is so muc'i deducted in almost the worst
way poMible from those resources. In the end, a property which is now vexatious and
barthcnsome to almost every man from whom its revenue is drawn, would be made ubviomly
a souiceof profit, as vrell to the individoak who should pay, as to the public which sliouJd
receive anil wse its increased revenue ; a property now yielding a trifling and uncertain
revenue would be made valuable, and certain in its returns ; and its expenses, now as lieavy
as they well can be, would be made as liglit as ii is possible to make them.
It u beyond my power to offer estimates, which should not rest to a great extent on
mere conjecture, aa to the probable increase of the productiveness or diminution of the
expenses of the estates under the proposed system. So far, however, as my inquiries have
enabled me to form a conjecture on the subject, I should snppose that within ao years the
capital fund lu be created by commutation of tenure, collection of arrears, sales, &c. as
•hove recommended, would yield (at six per cent.) an income of not less than 30,000/.
currency per annum, and in the end, I have no doubt, more;* and the whole of tlii» income
might and would then be realiaed. Under the present system the gross estimated income
is little more than a sixth pan, and the average gross collected income leis than a ninth part
of this sum. Under the present system, out of this collected income almost 38 per
cent, has for six years running been expended on collection, management and repairs.
Under the new system, these expenses might probably in two or three years be brought
ns low as 90 per cent, on the current revenue collected for the years appropriations.
In 9o years, I have no doubt tliey could be bronglit considerably under 10 per ceni.f
lliese results, it will be remembered, are predicated alioseiner on the supposition of the
prompt adoption of a gntril poliof of gootrnmaU ana Ughlation for Lower Canada,
calculated to rai»e ilie province from the depressed and embarrassed situation in which it is
at present piaced. Except upon this supposition, indeed, the revenue of the estates cannot
be expected by any possibility to increase, but may even he expected yearly to diminish.

Such a Iegisiature as the constitntion of 1791 brought logetlier, could never be induced
to adopt, and would certainly be wholly incompetent to luperintend. a system such as I
have recommended. A French Canadian House of Asiembly would never relax in its
hostility to ameasura of the kind required, no matter by what authority enacted, were its
after-working in any way subjected to their control. It is not, how'ver, lor that reason the

Tabli, No. 5.
Is to contain the same kind of information in regard to any parts of the
that may not be included in the school districts, which is required in Table, No. 3, in regard
to the school districts.
The first column is to contain a specification of the situation and extent of each such
tract: and the subsequent columns are to be filled up in the same manner as the corre-
sponding columns in Table, No. 3.
Where more than one tract is described in the first column, lines should be ruled across
the table, to divide the answers which relate to each, from those referring to another.
Table, No. 6.
In this table is to be furnished the following information relative to any other Institationii
for Education in the , besides those returned in the foregoing
tables: —
In the first column, every such institution is to be named and described ; stating whether
it is a boys' or girls' school, a common or superior school, academy or college, its precise
locality and the average age of its pupils.
Any girls' school in a parish, which has received the public allowance of 30/. (cunency)
. per annum, under the late School Act, is to be returned in the former tables, as an elementary
school, in the school district in which it is situate; and the questions put in those tables are
to be answered in regard to such school, and not those only which are given in this table.
Any other girls' school will be returned in this table.
In the subsequent columns successively, will be given the particnlnrs in regard to each,
which are indicated in the ubie iuelf. Any other particulars that may suggest ibeiBselves,
can be stated in the column of " remarks" or elsewhere.
Where more than one Institution is to be reported upon, it would be well to rule lines
across the table, to divide the several reports from one another.
It is of course desirable that all the returns asked for in the above Tables, should be
rendered as nearly exact as possible. Where for any reason it is not found possible to make
them exact, the word " about" should be prefixed to those estimates which are at all con-
jectural.
In case of a difference of opinion on any point, between tlie gentlemen to whom these
inquiries are addressed, it is desirable that the fact should be stated in tlie column of
" Kemarks," or in any other more convenient manner.

Copt of a LETTER from the Earl of Durham to the Marquit of Normmby.
My Lord, Cleveland Row, 31 May 1880.
Tbb last portion of the Appendix to my Report on firitigh North America, which I have
now the honour of transmitting to your Lordship, consists of Reports from Mr. Buller and
Mr. Turtou on two questions of considerable importance, to which 1 instructed them par-
ticularly to direct their attention. Mr. Turton's Report contains the draft of an Ordinance
for the establishment of a general registry of lands in the province of Lower Canada, with
some explanatory remarks : Mr. Buller's consists of a statement of the steps which he took
with a view of effecting the incorporation of the seminary of St. Sulpice of Montreal, and
the enfranchisement of that city from the feudal tenure, with the heads of an agreement
respecting the most important points of such a measure, to which he succeeded in securing
the assent of the parties chiefly interested therein.
The importance of these questions, together with the strong and general desire existing
in Lower Canada for the speedy and satisfactory settlement of them, are so well known to
your Lordship, that 1 need lie at no pains in enforcing the necessity of a prompt and full
consideration of the Reports which I now transmit, or of the adoption, at the earliest
possible perio«.', of the legislative measures requisite for carrying into effect such of their
recommendations as may be judged sound and practicable. 1 have to regret that the
labours of Mr. Duller and Mr. Turton could not, with the utmost diligence on their part,
be brought to a close till it was too late for me to take upon myself, as 1 wished, the
duty of proposing to my special council Ordinances founded on their recommendations.
I have, however, within the last few days, received from Lower Canada the very satis-
factory information that the labours of my mission have been continued by my successor,
and that his Excellency the Governor-general has, with the advice of his special council,
passed an Ordinance for tlie incorporation of the seminary of St. Sulpice, which I have
inserted in this Appendix. It will be perceived that this Ordinance is in all respects
framed on Mr. Buller's agreement with the superior of the seminary which precedes it in
the annexed Report. By the last clause it is provided that the Ordinance shall be of no
force until sanctioned and rendered permanent by the Imperial Parliament, or by such
future legislative authority in the province as shall be empowered to pass permanent laws.
I have received a lette'^ trom the superior expressive of the anxiety with which the re-
spectable community that he represents desires the immediate sanction of the Imperial
Parliament to a measure which shall put an end to their doubts on the subject. The
assent of the present special council, which contains not only those who may fairly be re-
garded as the true representatives of the British population of Montreal, but also most of
those who from property or residence are themselves most interested in the auestion, may,
I think, be considered conclusive proof of a general concurrence, on the part of the public, in
the equity and expediency of tlie course adopted. I have heard of no indications of a
contrary feeling on the part of emy portion of the population of Lower Canada ; I cannot
therefore refrain from impressing on your Lordship, in the most earnest manner, the pro-
priety of losing no time in at once pro|x)sing to Parliament a Bill for giving iiermaneut
Ibrce to the Ordinance in question. To me personally it will indeed be a source of great
303. A A 2 gratification.

REPORT from the CmarflBciiTABv, oo the Cohmvtatioii of the FnioAt TnirBKB
in the island of Montnal, and other Seigniories in the Potsewion of the Seigniory of
St. SutpUt of Mmtrtml.
My Lord,
I HAVB great satisfaction in being able to slate that the steps which, in compliance with
your Excellency's instructions, I have taken with respect to the enfranchisement of the
Island of Montreal from the feudal tenure, have resulted in a settlement of tlie principal
points in a manner, which has been considered satisfactory by the parties most interested
IB ihe matter.
It is not necessary for me lo give fur the information, either of your Excellency or of
Her Majesty's Government, any detailed aixount of the peculiar c/rcumsiances, which
distingnisli the enfranchisement of the Island of Montreal from ihr. general question re>
sarding the feudal tenures throughout the province ; and which, in that district, render
Uie existence of that tenure peculiarly undesirable, and its removal by voluniary arrange-
ment peculiarly ensy. The seigniory <>*' Montreal comprises the wliule itiand of that name,
mmI includes the city together wiih the ground, over which it must in the progress uf time
extend itself. In such a spot the pernicious influence of these feudal leourea, which in all
parts of the province retard the extension of its commerce and the developement of iu
natural resources, is felt with niiginenied force, as presenting o barrier to ilie enlargement and
improvement of the city. The fines on alienHiion, which impede the transmission of land,
and impose a heavy tax on every improvement, while they nre iiyurioiis to the use of land
for agriculture, are infinitely " '•« faiul to its being rendered applicable lo building purpo«es.
The existence of the feudal . ture has been the occasion uf loud and lone complaint
among the mercantile population of Montreal; and has been perceived lo be the main
cauM of the slow progrcM both in extent and proiperiiy of a city, which, as well from its
position at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa, and at the hishest point at
which the river is navigable from the sea, as from the increasing resources of the rich and
extensive territories drained by these waters, possesses every capability for being ere long
one uf the greatest marts of trade and seats of population on the American continent.
And, however the progress of Montreal may have sunered from those unfortunate causes,
that have hitlierio operated so prejudicially on tlie general interests of the British colonies
in North America, it may fairly be concluded, that if this peculiar ubttacle to its pros-
perity were removed, the ciiy would receive an impulse to its improvement, that no other
circumstances could entirely counteract.
The postewion of this seigniory by the ecclesiastical bo<ly of the Seminary of St.
Snlpice, fortunately affords facilities which render it very practicable to eflfect a voluntary
commutation in the island of Montreal, without waiting for the coinplctioo of that gene-
ral commutation of the ieudal tenure, whidi, it is to be hoped, will before Ions be carried
intoefl'ect throughout the province o( Lower Canada. The complete view of this subject,
which is given in the fifth re|)ort of the Canada Commissioners, renders it unnecessary that
I should enter into any narrative of ilte circumstances, under which the body now Ibrroing
the seminary brcutne poaoessed of its prfsent estates, and of the doubts which exist as to
its title to tliein. Woi\vitli»tan<flng the arguments, which i have heard urged on the other
side, I hav« found no reaton t«i question the soundness of the conclusion, at which the
Canadrf Comuiiationers arrived, aguintt the justice a> well as against the policy of any
uttt-mpt or the part of the Crown to dispute the le^al title of the seminary, and to enforce
cliiiiiis wh'ch have practically been long suflered to lie dorinant, " Whether or not," say
the C'omiiiissioiiers, " ttie legal title be in the seminary, the King has done numerous acts
•rliieh would render it very wrogatory to the honour of the Crown to contest it, except

the ietninary of the |Miwer; and it it difficulty to conceive thwt a proviiion to aatiifactory
and no econiiinical could be made in a^y other way. Without, ilierefore, producing the
alighiett prnciical advantage, the attempt lo enfurce the allK^ed legal right* of the Crown,
would, if lucccMfuJ be rrgarded at a wuittun ntiack on a ummi reipectahie body of the clergy
of the whole of the ancient, and of a large proportion of the emigrant population of the
province. Il would be regarded, nut without juitice, at an allacic marliing at little graii«
tude at prudence on the part of the Briti*h Uoverninenl. For during the recent troublet,
u well aa in preceding periodt, the tcuiinary of Montreal hat been contpicuout among
the clergy of the province by ilt cealout and unihaken loyalty. To ilt eflbrti, and the
exercite of itt influence at the mo*t alarming critit, we may attribute the tecurity of ih*
ciiv from tome of ihe formidable dungeri wlncli menaced it
lite doubit, however, which hang over the title of the leminary, necetgarily rendet that
body deairou* of obtaming a formal recognition or confirmation of in righit, which may
tecure it not only againtt adverse claiint on the part of the Crown, but againtt the re-
tittance lo itt juii demands, on which tome of itt lenanit have occatiuiially ventured,
relying on ilt unwillingnett lo enforce them by a tuii at law, in the course uf which tta
whole proprietary rights might be called in question. And tliough for the reatont oa
whicli 1 tiuve dwelt, nothing could be lett ad viaable than any attempt on the part of the Crown
lo enforce ittowu dormant claims, or to exhibit any uiiwillingnett toreoogniin thnteof the
teminary, it it nut iniunsisicnt with equity or sound policy that it thould take advantage of
the occation of giving a new name and title to this property, to make tnch ttipulalion for
an alterailon of ilt mischievous incidents, na the public interest demands. The Crowo
hat, therefore, while it haa shown the greatett readineat to confirm the teminary in the
potsession of its present eaialet, atipulated that the concetsion on ilt part thall be ao>
com|Mnied by the enfranchitement of the Island of Montreal from itt feudal bnrdeni. To
thit cundiliun the seminary has in the most ready and generous manner acceded. The
termt proposed by it to the Canaila Commissioners appeared to them to liberal that they
onhetitatingly recommended their adoption in the report, which 1 have qnoied above. And
your Excellency was so much of the same opiniun, that in compliance with your intiructioa
I made the recommeiidntiuns of the Commitsionen the batii of the plan by which 1 pro-
posed to elfeci the cuniinuiation.
Yunr Excellency is aware uf the objections which were raised ij tlie plan, when it became
generally kimwn that it was to be based up<m the recommendation of the Canada Com-
itiissionera. I need nut now recall to your Excellency's recolleclion the unreaaonable nature
of the dcinandti urged by aunie of the itilinbitnnis uf Montreal in a petition presented on
•rour return from the Upper Province at tiieend of July, nor the intemperate language in
which that document was couched, i allude to it only for the purpose of noticing the
fact that, while the greater part of the English inhabitants of Montreal ditclaimecT any
participation in the desire wliich some of the petitioners seemed to entertain that the
Crown should avail itself of its alleged legal rights to impose the hardest termt on the
teminary, il appeared to be the general wish that tome alteration should be made in the
terms proposed, and that the Government in giving the teminary an indisputable title to its
possessions, should stipulate for their due application to purposes of public utility, and
guarti againtt the accumulation of a large landed properly giving great political influence
over the oily of Montreal in the handt uf un ecclesiastical corporation. The teminary ob-
jected lo many uf the proposals made by the other party, as wantonly interfering with
Its ecclesiaxtical independence imd dignity, and unduly curtailing the amount of itt future
revenue*. It it not till very recently that 1 have been enabled to get the content of thetemi-
nary to the heads of an Ordinance which, 1 um happy to tay, has been alto agreed to by
thoae who may fairly be regarded as representing the feelings of the British party on
this point. I submit these heads to your Excellency, feeling that, in tlie present state of
ffairt, it would be useless to reduce them inio the form of Ordinance, Letten Patent, or
other formal and conclusive document.
it is proposed,—
I. That the superior and eccletiasiict of the seminary of St. Sulpice of Montreal
be formed into u curporation, for the purposes to be specified in the Ordinance, Act of
Parliament, or Letters Patent : Provided that the rules of maangement of the corpora-
lion be not valid without confirmation by the Goveniment.

■ionert in their report have in my opinion very juitly remarked that " becauM the leminary
of Montreal hat conrentrd to an urgently required improvement, there it no reaton that
further nlierationt, which, if g(H)d, arw M|ually to be winlied in every other religiout tcmi-
nary,thoold be cxclutively ur^efl upon iltit one; nor would it be contittcnt with the com-
mon rulet of prudence that an arrangemenl tn long dctired in retpect lo the property of
Montreal thould be tubjecled to llic ritk of being indefinitely poalponed, or even of failing,
by adding lo it furilicr rcfot'mt nevercoupled with it tiil it teemed on the point of lucceed-
ing." It will be teen tliut it it proposed llial the utet of the property now in the handt of
the teminary, and which hnve been regulated by the gooo f.^iing of that body, and
the cutiom to which it lint conformed, thould be tpecifted in the pnblie act, by which
ilt title it confirmed. At a further meant of control over the management of the iottiiu-
lion, it Inm been agreed that its rulet of innnngement thould not be valid without con-
firmation by the Government. It it alto proviurd that the teminary thall, whenever ibe
Government thall require, lay brfore it a Jetaileil tlalement of in iiecuniary affairt. The
teminary preferred making ihit accouninbiliiy dr|)endent on ihe demandt of the Govern-
rornt to a periodical account, which had been proposed on the other tide; and to thii plan,
which the gentlemen of the body lepretenled at conformable lo their own riewt and
ancient cottomt, there teemed to exist no objection* that rendered it at all advitable to
iniiti upon a periodical account. The teminnry objected to the creation in theiroaac of new
and peculiar powert of viiitatioii. Hut tlie higheit legal authoriliet of the province were
of opinion tlmi the powert of vinitation hitherto pititeued by the Crown of France and
England were quite luflicienl for all uiefiil purpose*. And a clauie to tbit effirut hat been
inserted with ihe entire consent of the teminary.
The Dritith population of the province appeared to be very dpilrraui that the teminary
should henceforth ceate in great measure to appear in the character ot'* landed proprietor ;
and above all that it thould not continue to posseii a large extent of Itad in the city.
In the general objecliont lo the pottettion of large landed property itf (-'.rltriiatiMU
corporations, objection* of which the force hns been long recognixed by tkt in»rtini»rii
laws, not only of our own but of every civilized European count.* , I could not oi>l entiu^j
coincide ; and I felt anxious that in making ihii n^ret-i ^nt wii the teminary prt/vitlon
thould be mide that it thonld cease to hold such portion nf its pr ""nt landi at lie in the
immi*diute neighbourhood ot the city of Montreal; and that ili> '"ids arising from Ihe
tale of thrir lands and (he coinmntaiion of its feudal ri^hti should it'iit he reinvested in
landi. The opposition of the teminary. which at first extended to any sii|Klfnf' <;t' the
kind, reduced itself by dogtces to narrower limits; and 1 found that it wonid be sun .fird,
provided it were permitted In hold so much land n« would suffice for the various build>
initt required for its ediicntinnal establishments, togrihri t*ill' some houses t« the city,
which would pinhably serve for little more tU^a the accominodution of iiii pnvfettort and
other persons connected with it. It has be< determined, therefore, that .iMf fP'"\ of
8t. Gabriel, which it the only extensive landej •state possessed by the seminsirv hu (he
Island of Montreal, and which must very soon be required for building in the evvtiiof any
extension of the city, thnll be sold; and that nil the money received by way of arreait arM
of commutotion, together with that arising from the tnle of the farm of St. Gabriel, shall b«
invested in the public securities of the United Kingdom or it* colonics, the teminary being
permitted neverthelest to acquire or tn retain 30,000/. vrorth of land in the province.
It now only remaint f<ir me lo notice ihe provisiont which have been made with respect
to the pecuniary terms of the commutation. With retpect to the rate, at which the arrears
for past mututiont are lo be collected, no change it to be mode in the termt proposed by
the Canada Commissioners ; and it it merely stipulated that the •eminary when potie**ca
of an indispututMf tide shall continue to make the same moderate claim* as heretofore.
Great alarm npprared to be entertained by some of the inhabitants of Montreal as to the
amount of these nrrenrt, which tome of them calculated as likely to amount to no le*t than
150,000/. But this calculation was founded on no accurate, or even intelligible data; and
as the time to which ' was limited, did not suffice for the preparation of completely
correc" 'nfurination h\ mi inspection of the books of the *eminary, I wat obliged to take
the am nt as iiated by *>ie superior in hi:) coniniunicntioni with me. This amount I ha^'e
tpetihi in the agrrenv <•<. at 44,000/. for the Island of Montreal, and 13,700/. for the
other tvt <'eignioric%, bti i( altogether 56,700/. ; and, as this is the ttatement of the teminary
iitdf, 1 til k it would nu< W< bearing unfairly hard upon that body if the total amount to
be received r arreart thould be to limited in the Act of incorporation.
In the pr«i|>csal roade by tli' neminary lo the Canada Committionera, and adopted by
them, the U'rin< proposed for Ue coininutation of the lodt et vente* differed in *omo
re!>| <'it from il xie pro[>oted i<.r the collection of the arrears. With regard to the latter
it was clearly ath snbie that tlirre !<houtd be no deviation from the long etiublished cuttom.
The teminary has been in the habit of dividing the lots in the seigniory of Montreal into
two clastes, the fir*t consisting of those within the city, and having in them building* of the
value of 500 /. and more ; the second comprising all lott outside uf the city, together vrith

APPENDIX TO REPORT ON THE AFFAIRS OF
Appmdi* (C) thow within it. which bear buildingt ot lett value than fioo/. On the firat daw i« haa beta
— — in the habit of taking one-twcntieih, on the latter one-tixleenth of the whole falut «f thf
property h* the fine or alienation { the iegal claim being (<ne>twel<ih in both caaea. To
thaie rate* it it Mitletl in the preaent agreement that the leminary iliall adhere in the col«
lection of ita arrean. The principlea on which the temiaary propoaed to commute the
tenuret on the first or more valuable daa* of its property, was that of taking the amount of
one fiue aa a perpetual eniiranchitement for all future demands ; and the great modeniioa
of tbk propaaal mnat be very clicerfully acknovrledifed. But to the second or less valuable
class of its property the seminary did not feel inclined to extend terms <|uite so favourable.
In the report of the Canada Commisaioners it is stated that the seminary propoaed to
require 5 per cent, on ibc first class, and 1 3i per cent on the second. I have however
reas^w to believe that in the latter part of thia clause there was an accidental numerical
miaiake,and tbatiniiead of ia| per cent, the seminary in fact meant only to demand one-
twelfth or 8} per cent. Thi* at lettit was its proposal to me.
It must be owned that the terms proposed even with regurd to the second class were
singularly moderate ; and that the seminary when it proposed to enfranchise its ceniilaires
from-ull future liabilities on the payuient of the amount due on one alienation, could not b«
thought very harsh in urging that on the unimproved portion of its properly it would insist
00 taking lhi« one fine at its full legal amount. The one-twelfth proposed »ilh reiipect to
tke sroood chus is, after all, the legal fine due on all on ibe occasiun ot every alienation, and
is generally received without deduction by all other seigniors in ihe province. It will not
however be matter of surprise that tlie establishment of such a distinction between tlic
ijro clasaea of propertiet excited discontent among the holders of the less favoured clasa;
and, as this was composed of the poorer and more numerous bodv, I ventured to represent to
the seminary iliat the eatabliihment of such a distinction would enlist the sympathies of
tlie comiKunity againit the arrangement ; and to recommend that in both cases the price
of thecommuiation should be fixed at the amount of ihe fine which had hitherto been
taken. The seminary siaird that it was quite ready to apply this principle equally to all
lots on which there were buildings; but ihut on mere agricultural or unimproved lots, on
which very little increiise of vHlue had been eRiecied by the a|>plication of capital, it
thouuht it quite fair and necessary to lake the full legal amount of one fine. Adhering 10
iis old classificalion, it had demanded this Inrger amount on all lots containing buiMings
of less Viilue than 500/. ; but it assured me of its perfect readiness to accede to any new
scale by which a distinction could be <iiade between the less valuable cliiu of buildings on
tlie one side. and. on ihe other, land bearing no buildings, except such as it was apprehended
might be raised on absolutely unimproved property in order to escape the higher rale of
commutation. It appenrrd on discussing i||is point lliat too/, would be a fair value to
lake as the crilerioi« of honi fidt buildings, and that no one would for the purpose of
evasion erect a building of greaier value on unimproved land. With this view the lots
have been divided into ihiee classes lobe subjected to difiPerent rates of commutation. The
two firkt are the different classes of lots within the city : the first class being that having
buildings above 500/. in value, the second those of less than 500/. and more than 100/. On
both ol these the commutation is proposed to be fixed at the rate hitherto auopted with
respect to fines, at one-tweutitili of the value for the first, and one-sixteenth for tlie second.
The ihird class is to con<priBe all of what may be regarded as unimproved lots, tliat is of all
lots cutside of the city, and any within it, on which there shall not be a building of the
vuliie of too/. On this the price of commutation is to be fixed at one-twelfth.
Such are the terms agretid upon for the first period of seven years alter the adoption of
a measure fur commutation. The dgreement contains provisions for a variation of the rate
of commutution, if delayed beyond that period. If not concluded in the first period of
seven years, the terms are to be raised during a second of the aame duration ; and if delayed
beyond 14 years, the rule is to be still further increased.
An important improvement on the ngreement sanctioned by the Canada Commissioners
will, I think, be found in the provision respecting the nature of tlie charge for which the
present liabilities are to be commuted. The Commissioners propose, tliat " it should be
allowable by mutual agreement to charge ihe whole of the commutation money as a mort-
gnge on nhe tiroperty, or lo convert it into a quit-rent, but not without tl.^ free consent of
both parties. ' It appeared to me very desirable that every facility and inducement should
be given to the immediate completion of the commutation ; and that in case* in which the
ccnsitaire might not possess the means of paying the whole amount of the poruhase-money,

thereof as a rent-charge on the property. This proiiosal met with the approval of all
pM'ties ; and in the foregoing agreement it is accordingly provided, that the amount ol'
commutation shall be fixed on the property as a redeemable quit-rcnl, or rentt eonttilyie

The terms thus settled met with the entire concurrence of the seminary. Messrs. M'Gill
Md Muffati, though more favourable to a draft of an Ordinance originally prepared by
themselves, signiiied their entire readiness to assent to the foregoing agreement; and it
met also with the concurrence of Mr. Adam Thorn, who had at first supported views mure
itear those of the strongest opponents of the seminary. It appears most desirable that no
lime should be lost in definitively adopting and carrying into effect the settlement of thia
rtsiioo. The only difficulty arises from the want of any sufficient legislative power in

Le taux fix£ par la loi, pour les changemens de tenures en franc alleu roturier, est de la
cinqui^me partie de la valuer de I'immeuble, ou du quint.
La Cuuronne en affranchissant seacensitaires n'a exige que le dixiime.
Le seininaire en proposant un tel ufTranchissement a demand^ le douziime de la valuer
des propri^i6s en general, et a consent! h. se contenter du uo* de la valuer des propri^t^a
de la ville, bfities pour un niontunt d'au moins 500/. Cette distinction a ^-te fuite en

APPENDIX 10 RBPOirr ON THB AFFAIRS OF
REPORT fifom Mr. Tcbton. on Ote RrtiMkhmwit of • RMitntr of Rial
Propikty in Lower Canada.
My Lord,
I BATK tiw honow to tnuMiit to yawBicelhiiey tiwdnrfl of— Otdiamo ferttabliiliiiig
t icgiMfy of iwl propvtjr m lim p wwi aoo of Lowtr Oi— di
The jmt olyect of « RejKiotry Act in a newly-fettled country, where capital ii not extan*
live, and the fint object ofinTeatment ia landed property, onght to be to uMike landa as
available capital for anijiiltiiral improveaienta and cwmaarnial anterpriie. If land* ooold
be made eqaally avaikutia, equally convertible ialo aoaey, with bilk ofetrhanyi, or other
■era Hioaey eeeaiitiee, the merchant woold not haaitate to inveet aportion of hia capital in
land, aa reeidily ae other ooaunoditiee, wfailet the egrkmknriit woaldnot be prevented fiom
eabariiinK in oommereial tpetvlationa by the want of a eapMal to meet the emergency of a
•odden call to which they might expoae hnn. WSiea the two branchea of agriculture and
eemmeree are widely leparatM and in distinct hands, aa in England, that landi should be
anavaihtbSe as capital is of secondary importance ; lint in a new country, where the two
interests are more cloeely blended, and almoet insepaiable, the importance of giving every
Acility to the tiansfer, and, as it may be termed, the negotiability of landed property, is of
much moment.
To effect this entirely is out of the qnestioB ; but to IhdUtate the ipeedy sale of land, and
the raisiue of money upo;i it, by Isyuig open to intended purchasers or mcumbrancers the
charges wnich may affect it, will go far towards efbctin^ this object. This may be dona
under any system of law, and is the proper office of a Regutry Act
It is with thi« view that the dreft of the accompanying Registry Bill was prenared, and not
for the nxre purpose of obviating those inconveniences which arise from the old French law.
Its''fcndaltenuree,"iU "privileges," and '< hypotiieqnee" offer in theoMelves mat ob-
stacles to the uee of land aa a security for loans, or even aa a safe inves t ment of money ;
but the oMeet in view has been to frame such a Bill as shall be applicable to any system of
law— whieo as founded o«i the abstract principle, that " all charges on land, of whatever
nature they may be, ought to be resistered, in older to their beiiw known to intended por-
cha<iers or lenders ot money upon toe security of such lands," showd equally apply whether
or not any chaagt^ should take place in the law which now prevaila in Lower Canada. If this
priaciple be incorrect the BiU is founded on error ; if in any respect the Bill does not carry
out this principle it is defective.
As fovadod on this principle it avoids all alksion to the ancient French law, or any other
svstem of law, as fhr as noHibie. As m'Mvi especially called for bv the commercial and
British commnnityj it adopts EnsKsh Irjiguage and expression rauier than French. As
founded on no particnlar system of law, it has separated entirdv the eeneral question of the
French law, and all alteration which o^ay be desirable therein, from th<j question of reeistry :
aUhongh it is beyond dispnte t!iat to make any registry S3r^tem in Loirar Canada of prac-
tical benefit or advantage, certain changes must be eftcted in the French hiw as it at
present prevails there. The Code Napoleon, when it adapted a system of registrar
tion, found it necessary to adopt various modifications of the law previously existing in
France.
Such changes in the present law of Lower Canada as are immediately and pressingly
called for to make the te^uttrj system work with advantage, form the subject of a separate
and distinct Bill, which it has lieen thought more convenient to ofier separately, though in
feet forming a part of the registry system. They ought to be judged of and weighed
together, and it must be recollected that the second Bill proposes no changes which are not
consideKd necessary with reference to the regiatiy — all other changes being left for separate
eonsideratioa.
Such are the general objecto of the Bill. It has been objected to by almost every Cana-
dian who has bMn consulted, and has given any opinion upon it, as making alterations of
great extent in the French law. It is sufficient to say, in ancwer to this objection, that it ii
not true ; the present Bill, as altered from the original draft, makes scarcely uiy alteration.
The original draft submitted to the parties made none. It may be added, nowever, that no
one individual pointed out a sinele alteration that it would efiect, )r any disadvantage that
such supposed alterations might be expected to produce.
The only objections made by the English party were, that it did not go far enougli, and
that those alterations of the French law which it was intended to make were not included
in the Registry Bill, but tliat the two subjects were to receive separate consideration. It may
be proper to oDserve that one or two English seigneurs made the same oliiectious as the Caiia-
dianri, out without pointing out any one distinct alteration which the Bill as submitted to
them would make. The seigneurs generally objected to the expense and inconvenience of
registering

tioM from the original dnft now iirtroduce«l hure been nwde to obviate thia latter objection,
«hieh waa thoHsiit a laaaooable one. MoU of the othera war* introdaecd on thn racouf
■entUtion of Mr. Vallian St Real, the judge of Three Riven, than whoa there conld b«
nc better repreientative ol' the Canadian intareata ; others were made on the aaggaation of
■one of the Englieh party, and with the aaaiatance and advice of Mr. Buchanan awl Mr.
Badgeley of the Montreal bar.
In the details of the Bill *Jiere are two points which it may be proper to netke ■«• par*
ticularly. There is a difference of opinion whether registration ou^ht to be compulsory and
the securities rendered void if not registered within a certain period from their execution,
or whether the securities if not registered should only be void against third parlies. The
latter course has been sdopted in the proposed Bill. Again it has also been a ajsputed point
whether notice of a» kiatrament by a third party ovght to supply the defect of regietiatioo.
The English law, so flur as tha '•p'^ aysieaa has been ad(^>ted in it, maintains, on the
authority of Lord Hardwicke, the affirmative of this proposition : and in this is followed
by that of New Torfc, and aoiM othen of the American States. The Code Napoleon, and
various other codes (that of Louisiana, for instance, which is chiefly founded on the Coda
Napoleon) hold the contrary doctrine — moet of them with some modification. The present
Bill adopts in most respecta the doctrine of tha Code Napoleon.
On the first point it has been considered sufficient that the registry should protect third
parties — that as between tha two orijginal partiea thcra can be no neeessity for rsgistration,
each being eo|[;aiaant of the transaction ; and if thev have any objection to regiatration tha
public haa i o interest in it, or in their concern*, fiirtner than to prevent fraud. Ey the pro-
posed Bill a party entitled may make regiatry at any time he pleases. If ha omit to do so
and an innocent party lends money upon the faith of there Doins no prior incumbrance,
iuch innocent party will have a prior '^urity if he register it. If therefore any fraud ia
committed, or permitted, by tha omisaion to rogister, the peraon who is m fiuilt will alone
be the one to sustain the loss. This is sufficient for tne protection of the public ; and
the lejfisUtion and interference with the coneerna of individuals, will not extend beyond the
mischief to be remedied, and tha pnblic good to bo efiStctcd. One strong casn of a /hud
perpetrated, and heavy loss sustained, under the compulsory system of registration in the
townships has alieady occurred.*
As to the second point, it has been very generally admitted that allowing any substitute
for the registry has Men productive of much litigation, and is of doubtful advantage. As
notice of a former deed it generally the subject of mere vivft voce evidence, it substitutes orai
testimony for a solemn written instrument ; and there are few systems of law wliich approve
the principle, whilst they adopt it as introduced by a great English lawyer. It has been
alleged that there are fiicilitiea for procarimr oral evidence of disputed fkcts in Lower
Canada which would make such a principle nighly objectionable ; and though this might
hardly furnish a sulHcient reason alone, it may not be imoroper to be weighed with others
as a ground for rejecting a principle of a somewhat douWul nature. It has accordingly
been determined to propose that actual registry shall be held absolutely necessary, and
that notice of a prior instnunent shall not supply the omission to register it, unless the person
to be affected by such notice was one who was employed to efiect, and ought to have emcted
the registry, or was guilty of direct fraud ; cr unless the deed was one otactnal and positive
■ale. The reason for making a distinction between securities for loana or conditional sales,
and deeds of bbsolute sale is, that in the one case the person to take the benefit of the
aacurity may have chosen to took to tha mere personal security, or to sc-me other security, or
may have received back, the amount ; or the conditioii may not have been parformed, or may
have been released or satisfiod. But a man who, knownig of an actoal positive sale, never-
theless enters into a bargain for a re-sale to him by the same party of the same property,
cntera into a conspiracy with the vendor to defraud the first purchaser, and voluntarily pur-
chases that which he knowa die other party not to be entitled to convey. This distinction
haa been dravm without the knowledee of its being sanctioned by precedent in any code,
but it has received the approbation oflawyere of eminence, both in Lower Canada and New
York, and has not been questioned by any one.
Subject to much consideration and consultation with those in this country, who have taken
an interest in the subject of a registry, it has been decided that registry alone shall neither
confer title nor be evidence of title. A man who has no title, and never had a title, con
confer none. But a man who has had a title, and has purported to convey that partially or
wholly to another, may possibly have a right to make another conveyance of the same pro-
perty. The registry, therefore, is only made evidence of priority of title from the same
party.' As between all claiming under A. the registry of conveyances ftofa A. will be con-
clusive
