PAPER furnished by the Rev. G. O. Corbett, and referred to in Question 2773
of his Evidence, 5 March 1867.

EXTRACT from MiRiiTn of Meeting of the Governor and Council of Rupert't Land, Appendis, No.
held at Red River Settlement, 10 Juno 184&. —

JRe$olved, l. That, once in every year, any British subject, if an actual resident, and not
a fur traificker. may import, whether from London or from Su Peter's, stores free of any duty
now about to do imposed, on declaring truly that he has imported them at hi* own risk.

2. That, once in every year, any British subject, if qualified as before, may exempt
from duty, as before, imports of the local value ut' ten pounds, on declaring truly that they
are intended exclusively to be used bv himself within Red River Settlement, and have been
purchased with certain specified productions or manufactures of the aforeaaid settlement,
exported in the same season or by the latest vessel at his own risk.

il. That, once in every year, any British subject, if qualified as before, who may have
personally accompanied both his ex^mrts and imports, as defined in the preceding Resolution,
may exempt from duty, as before, im|)orts of tne local value of !iO f., on declaring truly
that they are either to be consumed by himself, or to be sold by himself to actual consumers
within the aforesaid settlement, and have been purchased with certain specified productions
or manufactures of the settlement, carried away by himself in the same season or by the
latest vessel at his own risk.

4. That all other imports from the United Kingdom for the aforesaid settlement, shall,
before delivery, pay at York Factory a duty of 20 per cent, on their prime cost, provided,
however, that the Governor of the settlement be nereby authorised to exempt from the
same all such importers as may, from year to year, be reasonably believed by him to have
neither trafficked in furs themselves since the 8th day of December 1844, nor enabled others
to do so by illegally or improperly supplying them with trading articles of aiiy dcssription.

ft. That all other imports from any part of the United States shall pay all duties
payable under the provisions of S & V'ict. c. 40, the imperial statute for regulating the
foreign trade of the British possessions in North America ; provided, however, that the
Uovcrnor-in-Chief, or, in his absence, the President of the Council, may so modify the
machinery of the said Act of Parliament as to adapt the same to the circumstances of
the country.

7. That henceforward no goods shall be delivered at York Factory to any but prsons
duly licensed to freight the same, such licenses being given only in those cases in which no
fur trafficker may have any interest direct or indirect.

8. That any intoxicating drink, if found in a fur trafficker's possession, beyond the limits
of the aforesaid settlement, may be seized and destroyed by any person on the spot.

Whereas the intervention of middlemen is alike injurious to the Honourable Company
and to the people ; it is Resolved,

0. That henceforward furs shall be purchased from none but tlie actual hunters of the
Mune.
