PREFA CE,
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The object of this Work is to give references to the entire proceedings of the Legislative
Assembly during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Parliaments after the TJnion,-embracing ten
Sessions in a period of eleven years; and as the Journals of the earlier Sessions are now
very scarce, in consequence of the destruction of the Parliament Buildings at Montreal
and Quebec by fire, with most of the books and records, the entries under the various
heads have been made as full as the nature of the Work would admit of, so as in most
cases to supply all the information required without applying to the volume of Journals
referred to. - 3. - p -
With regard to the plan or arrangement of the Index, it may be stated generally
that it is based in a great measure upon that of the Indices to the Commons' Journals,
and the Index to the Journals of the Assembly of Upper Canada prior to the Union
(of which this Work may be said to be a continuation.) All documents laid before the
House (except Reports of Committees) will be found under “Accounts and Papers;”
“Addresses” will all be found under that head; and “Committees” are also arranged
under a separate head; while all other entries are arranged and classified according to
their respective subjects, as “Harbours,” “Navigations,” “Roads,” “Surveys,” &c.
At the same time, by a system of cross references, every entry under these various
sub-heads may be found at once by referring, alphabetically, in the body of the Index, to
the subject to which it relates. -
Especial pains have been taken with the entries under “Supply,” by comparing
the sums stated in the original Resolutions with the Statutes as finally passed, so as to
shew any alteration in the amount or application of each sum granted.
The Work has been prepared under the direction of the Honorable the Speaker of
the Assembly, in pursuance of the following Resolution, adopted by the House on the
25th August, 1851 –“Resolved, That Mr. Speaker be authorized to direct the compila-
“tion of a General Index to the Journals of this House, from the Union to the close
“of the present Session, upon such a plan and at such terms as he may deem expedient;
“the same when completed to be printed for the use of the Members of this House.”

each Session:
[1841.]
1, 15th June, 1841. (The House having assembled on the previous day (without meeting His Eccellency), to choose a
Speaker, in accordance with the 33rd section of the Union Act.)—The Governor General (Right Hon. C. P.
Thomson) has assembled the Legislature at the earliest period which the duties imposed on him by the Union
Act would admit of A British subject, from Canada (Alex. McLeod) having been detained in the United
States, charged with a pretended crime, measures have been taken for his protection. The rates of postage
between Canada and the United Kingdom have been reduced; improvements have been made in the internal
postal arrangements, and a commission appointed to report on the P. O. system of B. N. America. The
improvement of the navigation from Lakes Erie and Huron to the ocean, and other Public Works, are recom-
mended,—to effect which the imperial guarantee will be afforded for a loan of £1,500,000 Stg. To facilitate
employment of emigrants on public works, the Imperial Government will assist to forward them from the sea-
ports to places where they may receive employment. A scheme for the settlement of the public lands will be
502

submitted. A measure will be proposed for establishing local self-government throughout Upper Canada.
The establishment of an efficient system of education is recommended. He will direct the public accounts and
estimates to be laid before the Assembly; and he trusts to their cordial co-operation in the measures he may
propose touching the Imperial Loan, and the Public Works. The Imperial Government has framed a new
constitution for Canada with an earnest desire for its welfare, and has determined to expend large sums annu-
ally in military defences, and Her Majesty will maintain her North American possessions at all hazards. The
eyes of England are fixed on the result of the experiment; and His Excellency confides in the wisdom and
prudence of the Legislature to carry out the great practical improvements of which the Province stands so
much in need, 6.
September, 1841—The Deputy Governor (Major General Clitheroe) has been deputed to officiate at the
closing of the Session. He congratulates the Legislature on the many important measures passed, and on the
harmony that has marked their proceedings; and thanks the Assembly for the Supplies. He urges on mem-
bers the propriety of aiding to carry out the great improvements in progress, and of inculcating an oblivion of
past differences, and a spirit of enterprize and contentment for the future, 643.
[1842.]
3. 8th September, 1842—The Governor General (Sir Charles Bagot) alludes to the death of Lord Sydenham (then Gov-
4. 12th
ernor General) at the close of last Session,-the birth of the Prince of Wales, and the treasonable attempt
on the life of Her Majesty. Announces the ratification of a treaty between Great Britain and the United States,
by which important questions affecting Canada and the United States have been adjusted. The Imperial
Government has redeemed its promise of guaranteeing the Canadian loan of £1,500,000 for public works; and
an important communication will be made upon the subject: in the mean time, every means have been adopted
to advance the public works. It has been found impracticable to carry out, in England, the arrangement pro-
posed last year for the assistance of emigrants, but a grant has been made by Parliament in aid of destitute
emigrants in Canada: although the number of emigrants has been much larger than last season no serious
destitution has prevailed among them. The revenue is in a satisfactory condition, and the increased rate of
duties under the Customs Act of last Session has been eminently successful. The provisions of the Imperial
Act establishing a tariff for Brit. N. America will call for corresponding alterations in the Provincial scale of
duties. A liberal disposition has been evinced in regard to the duties on agricultural produce in connexion
with the trade of Canada, and an arrangement to extend the market for Canadian produce may be hoped for.
The accounts and estimates will be sent down. It will be necessary to propose modifications in certain of the
great measures passed last Session, including those for the establishment of District Councils, and for the
maintenance of Common Schools. The re-organization of the militia is a subject that will require attention.
The Province has at length recovered from a state of severe trial and danger, and a bright dawn now opens
on its prospects. Canada has reason to be grateful for this and for the blessings now enjoyed, which he trusts.
the Legislature will ever seek to preserve and to perpetuate, 3.
October, 1842–The Governor General has been induced, by reasons of public convenience, to bring the Session
to an early close. He thanks the Assembly for the Supplies, and for their ready co-operation in carrying out
the views of the Imperial Government; and thanks the Members of both Houses for their zeal and assiduity
in perfecting the various measures passed during the Session,-trusting that they will use their influence in
their several districts in promoting that harmony which it has been his endeavour to establish, 131.
[1843.]
5. 28th September, 1843.−The Governor General (Sir Charles T. Metcalfe) announces the birth of the Princess Alice, and
alludes to the death of Sir Charles Bagot (late Governor General) and the respect paid to his memory in
Canada and the United States. He trusts the Imperial Act which facilitates the introduction of Canadian
wheat, and of flour prepared in Canada, will prove a valuable boon to the Province. Measures will be submitted
for amending the Municipal Laws, the Education Laws, and the Jury system, in both sections of the Province,
—also the system of judicature in L. Canada, and the Assessment Laws in U. Canada. He has recently
made a tour through the Province, and has had much satisfaction in observing the progress of the country and
the loyalty of the population,--also in witnessing the advancement of the works in course of construction by
means of the Imperial guaranteed Loan; in other parts there is a very great necessity for improved roads,
more especially in the Eastern Townships, but the present state of the finances does not afford any immediate

prospect of their construction. He calls attention to the state of the prisons, and the necessity of providing
for the proper care and classification of prisoners. A lunatic asylum in L. Canada is much needed; and
measures are in progress for the permanent location of the temporary asylum in U. Canada. The accounts
and estimates will be transmitted. There is a large decrease in the revenue ; the Imperial guaranteed Loan
has been raised on favorable terms. The Imperial Act prescribing a new Tariff will render necessary a
corresponding alteration in our Custom Laws. The welfare of Canada depends upon their action on the
important questions that will come before them, 5.
6. 9th December, 1843–In consequence of the interruption of their joint labours, His Excellency, entirely against his
own inclination, is under the necessity of proroguing the Legislature. He acknowledges their unremitting
application to business, and trusts that the measures passed will prove beneficial to the country. Some Bills
have been reserved on account of their dependence upon other measures not passed, or for other reasons. He
thanks the Assembly for the Supplies, which shall be disbursed with economy. He trusts members will
endeavour to promote harmony and brotherly love among all classes. Peace and happiness will render this a
desirable refuge for emigrants from Great Britain, while discord must have the effect of deterring them. He
trusts they will meet again to renew their efforts for the public good with greater success, 210.
[1844-5.]
7. 28th November, 1844.—His Excellency's pleasure signified that a Speaker be chosen, 1.
8. 29th Wovember, 1844.—The Governor General has assembled the Legislature as early as possible after the General
Election, at a season when they can attend with the least inconvenience. He announces the birth of a Prince.
Many important subjects will engage attention, including the amendment of the Common School Law, an
arrangement of the University of King's College,_a revision of the Municipal Institutions,—the state of the
prisons, and the want of lunatic assylums, the improvement of the roads, especially in the Eastern Townships,
and from Kingston to the Ottawa, and the framing of a Militia Law for the whole Province. The revenue
is in a flourishing condition, which may be furtherimproved by wise legislation. Her Majesty has received
graciously the Address on the Civil List, and whenever an adequate provision for the public service shall have
been made by the Canadian Legislature, she will recommend to Parliament the repeal of so much of the
Union Act as relates to the Civil List. The accounts for 1843 and 1844 shall be sent down. Notwithstanding
the expense of removing the Seat of Goverment to Montreal, a considerable surplus revenue remains.
Retrenchment has been, and will continue to be made in various branches of expenditure. He will continue
to administer the Government according to the acknowledged principles of the consitution, and the wants of
the community. Several important offices becoming vacant, he has endeavoured to fill them by appointing
gentlemen possessing the confidence of the people, but extraordinary obstacles have delayed the accomplishment
of the purpose. He trusts the Legislature will maintain the harmony essential to the well-being of the
people, 2.
9. 29th March, 1845.-His Excellency thanks the members for their indefatigable attention to their duties: Congra-
tulates them on passing the Acts relating to Administration of Justice in Upper Canada, and Education and
Municipal Institutions in Lower Canada, but regrets the unavoidable postponement of several important
measures. The few Bills reserved have been so dealt with under imperative instructions. An Act has been
passed in the United States, which may seriously affect the commercial interests of Canada; he will direct to it the
attention of Her Majesty's Government. He returns hearty thanks for the Supplies. The prosperous condi-
tion of the revenue has enabled us to establish a Sinking Fund, and to apply a large sum to Public
Works. Her Majesty's Government ardently desires the welfare of the Province, and that all may enjoy the
rights of a free people. He concludes by warmly thanking the Legislature for their loyal and zealous
Support, 442.
[1846.]
10, 20th March, 1846.-The Administrator of the Government (Earl Cathcart) has had the duty of opening the Session
devolved upon him in consequence of the departure of Lord Metcalfe, and he has been designated by Her
Majesty as his successor. The Legislature will concur with His Excellency in regretting the painful cause of
Lord Metcalfe's retirement. The replies to the Addresses to Her Majesty of last Session will be announced.
The unsettled state of the negotiations between the Imperial Government and the United States renders a
reorganization of the Militia immediately necessary; while Her Majesty will provide with promptitude and
504 SPEECHES-continued,

[1846]—continued.
energy for the security of her North American Dominions. The subject of the Civil List will be brought under
consideration. The Public Accounts and Estimates will be shortly sent down; and he relies on their willing-
ness to make due provision for the public service, and for the completion of Public Works in course of con-
struction. The late extensive fires at Quebec rendered certain measures indispensable, which will be submitted
for approval. Different portions of the British Empire have extended their sympathy and benevolence with
noble generosity, and it will be for the Legislature to consider what further measures of relief should be
adopted. The latest intelligence indicates a most important change in the commercial policy of the Empire,
in anticipation of which he had pressed on Her Majesty's Government a consideration of the effect of any such
change on the interests of Canada. He offers his hearty co-operation in these and other important subjects,
and trusts that they may together pursue a course calculated to promote the best interests of the Province, 2.
11. 9th June, 1846–The Governor General (Earl Cathcart) congratulates the Legislature on the manner in which they
have, by indefatigable attention, perfected the business before them.—Thanks the Assembly for the Supplies,
which shall be expended with economy; and he will take immediate measures for raising the loans authorized
for the completion of public works. The loyal and patriotic spirit in which the Militia Bill has been passed
claims his warmest acknowledgments. He has assented with satisfaction to the greater part of the Bills
passed; but it has been necessary to reserve certain of them, for imperative reasons, over which he has no
control. The Addresses to Her Majesty shall be duly forwarded. He doubts not that Members will use their
influence to encourage the spirit of loyalty, and to promote those branches of productive industry and enterprise
on which the welfare of the colony depends; for, however unfavorable the aspect of affairs may have appeared,
there exists sufficient power and energy in the Province to make the most of its resources, 347.
[1847.]
12. 4th June, 1847–The Governor General (Earl of Elgin and Kincardine) informs the Legislature that the Imperial
Government will surrender to the Provincial Authorities the control of the Post Office, when arrangements are
matured for securing to British N. America an uniform post office system. Colonial Legislatures are now
empowered to repeal (Imperial) Differential Duties imposed in the Colonies in favor of British produce:
Correspondence on the subject will be communicated. Measures will be submitted for extending the
Warehousing facilities to Inland Ports, and other commercial improvements. The Imperial Government has
commenced a Survey of a line of railway from Quebec to Halifax. A despatch will be submitted relative to
a remedy for the inconvenience sustained by the Colonies under the Imperial Copyright Act. In view of the
large immigration expected, measures have been adopted for providing increased accommodation and aid for
sick and destitute emigrants. The accounts and estimates will be transmitted. He trusts a due provision
will be made. The revenue from Public Works has increased. He expresses thankfulness for the exemption
of Canada from the famine with which another part of the Empire has been afflicted, and refers to the aid
rendered to the sufferers by the Indians and others in this Province. There is a growing demand in Europe for
the produce of America; and he trusts that all practical extension will be afforded to the trade and
productive capabilities of the Province. He renews the assurance of Her Majesty's desire for the prosperity of
Canada, 5.
13. 28th July, 1847.-His Excellency thanks the Legislature for their zeal and assiduity. He trusts the alterations in
the Tariff, and the extension of the bonding and warehousing privileges, will be productive of benefit to the
Colony. He is gratified at the attention bestowed on the various mining and railway projects; and he trusts
the measures relating to the amendment of the Criminal Code, the protection of mercantile interests, the
Common School Act of U. C., and the Municipal Institutions of L. C., will be productive of beneficial results.
He regrets the prevalence of disease among the immigrants, and has represented the necessity of adopting
more efficient precautionary measures in the mother country. The liberal provision for sick immigrants, and
the charitable exertions of the Clergy and others, merit the warmest acknowledgments. He thanks the
Assembly for the Supplies. The Addresses to Her Majesty shall be duly forwarded. He trusts members
will exercise their influence to give full effect to the salutary enactments of the Legislature, 218.
[1848.]
14, 25th February, 1848.-His Excellency's pleasure signified that a Speaker be chosen, 1.
15, 28th February, 1848. The Governor General has called the Legislature at the earliest period after the General
Election. In an extensive tour through the Province, he has met with gratifying indications of general pros-
perity. Commissioners from the several Provinces have lately met in Montreal to mature a plan for improv-
ing the Post Office system. A practicable line of railway between Quebec and Halifax has been surveyed. .

*–
I. Speeches of the Governor General, &c.—continued.
[1848]—continued.
Measures have been adopted by the Imperial Government to prevent a recurrence of the evils resulting from
the pauper immigration of last year; and a provincial enactment upon the subject is also recommended. The
adoption of some general provisions for railways is recommended. The constitution of King's College, the
mode of assessment in U. Canada, and the improvement of the system of judicature in both sections, will call
for attention. The public accounts, &c., will be submitted, and he is confident the necessary Supplies will be
granted. His co-operation in all useful measures may be relied on. Canada possesses peculiar and manifold
advantages, which it is the duty of the Legislature to turn to account, 3.
16. 23rd March, 1848. His Excellency believes the public interest will be best consulted by bringing the Session to a
close with a view to an early resumption of business. He has completed his arrangements for the formation
of a new Administration. He trusts the measures adopted with respect to immigration will be found effectual.
He thanks the Assembly for the Supplies. He desires to co-operate with members in all their endeavours for
developing the resources, and increasing the happiness of the people of this Province, 81.
[1849.]
17. 18th January, 1849. The Governor General trusts that the uninterrupted tranquillity which has prevailed in the
Province during such a period of general excitement elsewhere will tend to establish its credit on a firmer
basis. A general amnesty is about to be granted for all offences connected with the Rebellion, and a measure
will be submitted for carrying the same into effect. In conformity with a joint address, Parliament has
repealed the clause in the Union Act restricting the use of the French language. Steps will shortly be taken
by Parliament for conferring on the B. N. A. Provinces the control of the Post Office Department therein;
when, he trusts, a low and uniform rate of postage may be found practicable. An increase in the representa-
tion is recommended. The opposition, in some parts of L. Canada, to the School Act, has greatly subsided,
but certain alterations in the Act may be found advisable. The system of judicature, municipal laws, and con-
stitution of King's College, call for attention. The survey of a line for the proposed railway from Quebec to
Halifax has been completed, and the Report, &c., will be communicated. The public accounts and estimates
shall be sent down, and he doubts not the necessary Supplies will be granted. Canada has participated largely
in the commercial depression of the past year. The Imperial Government respond cordially to his representa-
tions concerning the opening of our ports to foreign shipping. He urges the completion of the St. Lawrence
Canals, and suggests the alienation of all purely local works, the re-organization of the public debt, and the
erection of an efficient Sinking Fund; also, the amendment of the Immigration Act, and the settling apart of
certain public lands for the formation of a Common School Fund. He will willingly co-operate in these and
all kindred measures, 4.
18, 30th May, 1849. The Deputy Governor (Major General Rowan) has been deputed by His Excellency to close the
Session. He commends the zeal and assiduity of members, and congratulates them on the many important
measures that have been perfected. He trusts the measures in course of adoption by the Imperial Parliament
for throwing open the ports of Canada, together with the completion of the canals and the contemplated
railways, will tend to increase traffic on the St. Lawrence. He thanks them for the Supplies. He deplores
the excesses lately committed at Montreal, and rejoices that they have met with no sympathy from the
people of Canada. He trusts that members will exert their influence to allay excitement and promote mutual
confidence and harmony, 367. -
[1850.]
19. 14th May, 1850. The Governor General announces the death of the Queen Dowager. In compliance with the
Address of last Session, he has summoned the Legislature to meet at Toronto. He trusts the recent changes
in the Imperial Navigation Laws, and the improvements in our canals, will tend to promote the commercial
interests of the Province. A marked improvement has taken place in the value of Canadian securities in the
British market. He recommends the adoption of Free Trade between the British N. American Provinces.
The Act for establishing Free Trade between Canada and the United States has not yet come into operation:
a corresponding measure is now under the consideration of Congress. The entire control of the internal posts
in British N. America is, by a recent Imperial Statute, vested in the Provincial Authorities. Measures are
recommended for increasing the Representation,-for rendering more effectual the system of discipline in the
penitentiary and the gaols, for extending the usefulness of the Inferior Courts in U. Canada, for the regu-
tion of municipalities, the construction of gaols and Court Houses in L. Canada, and the amendment of the
Jury and Assessment Laws in U. Canada. Communications relative to the Industrial Exhibition in London
in 1851, will be transmitted. The Court of Chancery in U. Canada has been placed on an improved footing,

under the Act of last Session. The public accounts and estimates shall be transmitted. He recommends an
inquiry into the revenue and expenditure of the Province. He relies on their readiness to grant the Supplies.
He has found it necessary to mark Her Majesty's disapprobation of the course taken by certain public officers
and others, for the purpose of bringing about the separation of Canada from the British Empire : the great
majority of the people have given unmistakeable proofs of their loyalty, and look to their own Parliament for
the redress of any existing grievances; he feels assured that the confidence thus placed in the wisdom of
Parliament will be justified by its acts, 3. Wide Committees, 477.
20, 10th August, 1850. His Excellency warmly acknowledges the zeal and diligence displayed during the past Session.
He will carry into effect without delay the arrangements for transferring to the Colonial Authorities the control
of the Post Office; and will take measures for bringing about inter-colonial free trade, under the Act now
passed. He has great satisfaction in transmitting the Addresses expressive of devoted loyalty to Her Majesty.
He thanks the Assembly for the Supplies, and congratulates them on the improvement in the revenue, and
the prospect of an abundant harvest. He has had great satisfaction in a late visit (in company with many
of the members) to the Welland Canal, and also in the courtesy exhibited by the citizens of the United States
upon that occasion. He is gratified at the impulse given, by recent Acts, to railway enterprise, and the
construction of turnpike roads,-and he trusts members will exert their influence in furtherance of these and
other measures of practical utility, 285.
[1851.]
21. 20th May, 1851. His Excellency congratulates the Legislature on the abundant harvest, the increasing revenue
22. 30th
from customs and canal tolls, and the high price of Canadian securities. The change in the Imperial Navi-
gation Laws is bringing more foreign shipping to our ports. Certain provisions of the Immigration Act are
supposed to act unfavorably to the shipping interests, and will call for consideration. The improvement of
the means of internal communication engages a large share of public attention, and several important lines of
railway are projected. The establishment of a reduced rate of postage has so largely increased the correspon-
dence, that the receipts may soon be expected to recover from the depression. Under the operation of recent
measures, the inter-colonial trade is extensively increasing. An Imperial Despatch submitting a proposal
for the construction of a railway from Halifax to Quebec, will be communicated. A scheme of arbitration
for settling the boundary line between Canada and New Brunswick was adopted at a conference with the
Lieut. Governor of New Brunswick last autumn, and the Report of the Arbitrators is shortly expected.
Permission has been accorded to the Government of the United States to erect a light-house on the Horse-
shoe Reef in the Niagara River, at the outlet of Lake Erie. He has reason to hope that Canadian industry
will be found well represented at the Industrial Exhibition in London. A Despatch in reply to the Address of
last Session on the Clergy Reserves will be laid before the Assembly; also, the public accounts and estimates.
A measure will be submitted for reducing certain charges in the Civil List Act of 1846. The expediency of
increasing the representation, and of amending the School and Municipal Acts, are recommended for
consideration. With the advance of the Province the responsibilities of the Legislature will increase. The
people, while appreciating the requirements of an age of progress, are attached to their institutions, and he is
confident that members will endeavor, in this spirit, to promote the best interests of the people, 2.
August, 1851. His Excellency congratulates members upon the diligence displayed during a protracted
Session, and on the many important measures passed. The grants for the light-houses, &c., on the St.
Lawrence, the remission of the light dues, and the reduction of the emigrant tax, will doubtless prove
advantageous to the trade. It is satisfactory that the favorable state of the Revenue should have warranted
these measures. The various Railway Acts will be productive of very beneficial results to the Province. The
Assembly are thanked for the Supplies. The satisfactory condition of the revenue and public credit, the
progress of public improvements, the creditable appearance of Canadian industry at the London Exhibition,
and the harmonious co-operation of the three branches of the Legislature, have attracted favorable attention
to the Province. He will continue to administer the Government in conformity to the wishes of the People
in Parliament, and he trusts the religious principles and good sense of the people at large will induce them to
eschew all violent measures, and to cultivate respect for the laws, 362.
