ded to seeure tu them by the bill of last year, ido not think we would be warranted ia rejecting this bill on accouut of any ditties expense it way entail, : Hon, the Arrg. Gengrat : This amendment to the bill of last year, as faras L understand it, 8 calculated to protect the fermug lation against any exclusive right w pro- bably umght be exercised by the grantees, as the law now stands, The grants were haps rather improvidentiy given, in conformity with the letter of the law. 16 said that sufficient notice wae not given, or there would bave been more cumpetivion. llowever, the effect would have been the same, and it is with the effeot we have now to deal. Farmers will have the privi of taking wud dena fi/e lor manure, irom. places which have been granted, and if the grautees feel themselves aggrieved, they can surrender their grants, and take whatever amount of compensation the commissioners may award them for their outlay. Ide aes think any amount of capital has yét bevw invested, and therefore the grantees will not suffer, though it would be better tu let them suffer, and make tiem some com- pensation, than to preclude farmers from access to that valuable manure which ie Ge- coming such « vast benefit wo the agriculsural portion of the community. One I have to the bill isthe mode by which the Supreme Court is authorised to into execution the final award of the commussion- lers; for. though | am not opposed to the power to exercise a reasvnable diseretion

in cuusequenee of having been deprived of a piece of land by the erection ot a fever hos- pital thereon, which they had held for « num- ber of yeare asa camping ground, and in later years bad used fur agricultural’ purposes, praying that the circumstances may be en- quired into, and other land granted ty them sa diva of that of whieh they had been de- prived.

Petition laid on the table.

OYSTER FISHERY BILL.

Hon. Mr. McDownaxp, on rising to move for the second reading of » bill to amend an uct to repeal the act relating to the oyster fisheries in this Island, and to make other provisions in leu thereof, said, it appeared

were contemplated to be repealed, and that parties who bad obtained grants of ground iur the cultivation of oysters should receive compensation for any expenses they might ave incurred, upon their giving up their grants. Sowe thought the grants interfered with the priveleges of persons takifg ap mad lor manure, but the 220d clause of the act pas- sed last year specificd thatlarmers should not
