hitherto payable by the Government of the Colony.

Alter some discussivn, during whieh the principle of the
Resolution received the concurrence of hon. mewmbers op both
sides of the House, a Committee was appuipted to brivg in a
Bill in aceurdance therewith. we

Mr. Hewlan gave notice tat he would, on Mooday nest,
ask the Governwent for any corresgundence that may have
taken place between Rybert Gordon, lurmerly a Justice of the
Peuce, and the Government, relating to the dismissal of that
gentieman from the Office of Justice of the Peace.

On motion of the Hun Mr. Davies, several Resolutions from
Cowmittee of Supply were reported agreed to.

Hon. Leader ot the Government introduced a Bill to amend
the Eleetion law—sv that Poll Clerks, Returning Officers, and
wthers employed at any Election, might be empowered to re-
cord thcir votes at the Polling Divisions, where they might be
so employed, subject to certain restrictions therein named.

Biil received and read, and ordered to be read a second time
on Monday.

Lun. Mr. Longworth introduced a Bull to further extend
the Saving’s Bank Act.

Received and read .

Hou. Mr. Longworth directed the attention of the Louse to
the Bill tw Incory orate the Presbyterian Church at Boushaw.
The petition eo which that Bull was introduced hud gone
through the usual stages, but owing to certain allegations set
forth in a counter petition, which bad been presented surae-
ome to the introdwetion of that Bill, the second reeding
thereof was indelinitely discharged He, therefore, suggested
the propriety of appomting a Commitsce to whom should be
referred the two petitipns in question, in urder that justice
might be dene to bot! parties, they being interested in, and
belunging tu, that influential body, the Presbyterian Church
of the Lower Provinces. - Ue would not then enter into the

{ relative clanas of the petitioners, as the whole matter would

come up when the Report of the Committee would be submit-
ted for the consideration of the House Le would, therefore,
wove that a Committee for that purpose be appointed.

llun. Mr. Heusiey sceonded the motivn,jand stated that at
would be but fair to hear the matter on both sides ; he, there-
fore, would support the mode proposed by the Hon. Mr Long-
worth,

Mr. Howat said the Preshytery should be the proper place
to hear matters of dispute of that nature; it was, therefore, in
his opinion, better not to entertain the motion.

{lon Mr Coles agreed with Mr Howat, and said he was
of opinion that the Congregations interested in the question of
dispute, were quite competent to scttle the matter amoung
themselves without the action of that House.

Mr. Brecken said he was instructed to say that the con-
tending parties Were not amenable to the same Ecclesiastical
Court; the course proposed by the hon. member (Mr. Long-
Worth) was therefore just and proper and far tall parties,

llon. Me’ Davies was also in tavor of allowing the petitions
i question to lay over Uli vest Dession, us it was very pro-
bubie the parties concerned would settle the point in dispute
betore that tia.

Llon Mr Pope said that the Committee moved for might
report that further action on the subject, on the part of that
House, was unnecessary ; he considered, huwever, if was but
fair ty appoint the Committee. ‘ 5

Mr. Duncan was ules of the opinion that the wiatter would
be auseably arranged by the parties themselves, independent
of the mterference of that House.

The question wus pr
miitee, proposed by the
as follows, vin:— ,

For the mution—Flons. Longworth, Pope, Sol. General,
Uensley; Messrs. Montgomery, Ramsay, Haslam, Green,

On motion of Mr Breeken, the Bill to prevent the running
at large of Hoes in the Royalty of Charlottetown was read a
second time, and reported agreed to.

duty; but being shamefully deserted by the
Portuguese, who retreated as far as Aleira,
were obliged to surrender prisoners of war,—
an exehanze taking place soon after, they re-
tarned to England. In 1711, the regiment
went with the unsuccessful expedition to Ca-
nada, and afterwards returned to England,
where” it was stationed for some time. In
1743, the regiment was sent to the Low Coun.
tries, and served in the different campaigns in
Flanders «util the year 1745, when it was or
dered to retura to England, and proceeded with
the army ‘under the command of Marshal Wade
to Scotland.
