On my arriving there, and finding the Lots then advertised for sale, all occupied, I visited them, and sta- ted, that if any Squatter would come forward to Purchase, I would not Bid against him — nor did I do 80. On my return to Toronto, another Auction was ordered, and I had to Travel to the Trent a "'econd time. I visited the Lots squatted on, and told the wife of Philip Loucks, on ^5, 4th Con. to i'lforni her husband to attend the sale at Colborne, and if he telt disposed to purchase, 1 would not hid against him. JLoucks did attend, but did not bid, or make himself known to me until the sale was over, and the land on which he was a squatter sold to me, then did he exercise a little of his usual trickery in order to intimidate me from settling in the Township. Finding other purchasers disposed to pay squatters for any clearance or improvements made, I could not hesitate to accede to the same arrangement, and did in presence of Major Campbell and several others, state to Loucks, that until my return from Europe, (having to bring out my Fa- inily,) he might remain on the land, as also reap the crop then growing, and that on my return, he to select a respectable settler, that I would name another, (if necessary,) they to appoint a third, and •whatever sum those gentlemen stated I ought in justice to pay him, I tconld. At this period Loucks was most anxious to take any Hum 1 would give him, which I object- ed to, stating that many circumstances might occur tlint would |)revent my returnnig; for instance, I might be lost, which I nairowly escaped: that he would then have my money and still remain a scpiatter. Finding me not just the Qoohc to be caught by a States Pox, he appeared quite Siitisfied to touc/ithc sovereigns on my return, and I teas ready to give them, but on my arrival in Seymoiu*, I found /Vii/i/* had kicked my of/er orerboard, i\\n\ iwimdcd io kick myse/J' out of the Toimship if I did not just pay him what sum he pleased to ask; no less than serenty-jite pounds would he accept for improvements not worth tirenty, using all the iiolhy gasconade of a Squatting Laicyer, and commen- ced cutting, carrying off, and selling \\w most valuable of the Timber. I cautioned him not to drive \\\v. to extreme measures, tliatev» ry pound he caused me to ex- pend in removing him, would be one out of his pocket ; his subsequent impertinent language, and de- termined opposition to every fair and handsome olfer made him, is so well known in the Township, that a tepelition of it is uniifc<!SHnry. » . . . After putting me to Thirty-four pounds actual expense, and about oOO miles travelling, he now with Crocodile tears in his eyes, states that Ik; is sorry for his improper <onduct, as will appear by his submission, which submission onuht to be n, iraining Ut afhers that Yankee Law will nut pass Current at A JJ HE It ST as also a hint to the Natires, that We OLD COUNTRYFOLK are fibt to be considered FOREifrNERS in Canada : what we can, and what we will do when we meet with a renegade. JAMES MASON. Vo he PmhUnhed* COLliOK.XE, nth April, 1835. I take this public manner of exfiressin^ my grateful thanks to Mr. Mason, for the lenity he ha^s shewn towards ino, wiien in the cells^ at •^iiti^«r«f Prison, for penalties which I incurred for lumbering on his Lands in Seymour, as also my evaiting by njahereturn, payinj^ the Dis- trict Land Tax, and lastly my Mghlg improper eamUmi in not surrender- ing to him the possession of his Property, after iXxefair and handsome offers he made to me for what I considered my improvements. I now sincerely regret my not having accepted same, and return him thanks for permitting me to dispose of the timber I cut and removed, now lying on Squire'8 Creek. PHILIP LOUCKS.
