Mr. Owen questioned by Mr. Charles Palmer.

Mr. Cuances Parmer put several questions to Mr. Owen, the object of which appeared to be to draw from that gentleman an admission that his father, the late Thomas, Owen, Esquire, had taken a lease of his farm from Lord Melville, and paid rent for it; and, further, that Mr. Owen had lately offered, either personally, or through the agency of some other person, to purchase his farm from Mr. Bourke, the agent of Lord Melville;

He said he

He had made no offer to purchase his farm. Taere had been some little talk between him and Mr. Bourke on the ‘subjec', such as that 103. an acre would be a fair price with ten years to pay itin.

tion. Commissioner Howe.—How is it ‘hat the population of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, a rocky soil, are so much better of than the people here of whom you speak ?

Mr. Owex.—The population of Lunenburg have greati¢ the advantage over the p-ople of this Island. They have six | weeks of open weather more than we have here—thvee in the

fall, and three in the spring ; and their pastures being much better and richer than any we have here, they have abundance of butter. A field of 10 acres in Lunenburg is of more value,

because, in that respect, much more productive, than one of | 50 acres here.

| Delegation from the Tenantry of Lots 61, 59, 63 and 64,—

Hon. Joseph Wightman, M. P. P., Finlay McNeill, Esq., M. P. P., and Messrs. Roderick Steele, John McNaill, Thomas Fisher, Philip McDonald, Clark, Philip Beers, Robert Dewar and Vere Beck.

_ Hon. Mr. Wicurman said, he appeared before their Exes le | ‘encies on behalf of the tenantry of the Southern part of King’s County, of whom he had been one of the representatives in the House of Assembly for several years. Tle had had, from hia direct and frequent interceurse with them, opportunities of becoming well acquainted with their grievances. ‘They wera all rent-paying people. J1is parliamentary colleague (Mr. Mc- Neil!) and himself were chosen to represent them betore thei- | Exceliencies ; and, at his and his colleague's request, a few of /the most respectable end imfluential of their own body were |jomed with them to constitute a deputation to the honourable |Court. At the public meetings of their constituents which he and his colleague had attended, all evidenced the greatest anxiety to bcoome freehuidlers, and manifested the most bitter

Value of Lands. The tenants settled on the sea-shore are a very industrious

class ef men, and have a strong desire to become freeholders. ~

Many persons seem to think that 10s. an acre would be no more than a fair price for township lands in general ; but he thought that that price would be too high for any township. If the people would have paid 10s. an acre, the proprietors would have sold their farms to them at that rate without being urged to do so by a Commission. Knowing that the Selkirk property bss been offered fur 2s. 4d. sterling per acre, the tenan’s upeu other townships look upon that price as a criterion by which to

| judge of the value of other township lands ; and, naturally, ere

strongly disinclined to purchase upon terms less advantageous than are offered to others.

Hon. Commisstoner Grar.—Do you mean to ssy that the lands purchased from the Earl of Selkirk at 2. 4d. sterling per acre will all be sold to the tenants or occupiers at that price. _ Hon. Mr. Wieutman.—No ; they will be classified accurd- ing to the different qualities of the soil, sirmations, advantages, or disadvantages. I: would not be reasonable that as much should be paid for lands in the interior of the woods as fur those on the sea shore. Lande on the sea shore would be more valuable than lands in the centre of a township, if it were for G> other reason than that they lie convenient for the procuring of manure.

Hon. Mr. Hows.—If the Government purchase large estat: ¢

| from proprietors, they may be expected to purchase them at 2s, | 4d. an acre ; but not otierwise.

Hon. Mr. Wicutman.—Would say that the price of town- ship lands should not, on an average, exceed 53. an acre. The Worrell Estate was bought at the rate of about 4s. an acre; but -some of it was pot worth Is. Gd. an acre. The lands of that estate had been divided into three classes. Those on rivers were suld at 12s. Gd. acre ; and those in the middle por- tion, at from 5s. to 7s. Gd. an acre. Those fronting on bays, rivers, and creeks, and generally on the sea-buard, were sold in blocks of 100 acres at 12s. 6d. a0 acre. Those who, on that estste, were jocated on the most eligible parts were bound by the proprietor to pay £2 an acre for their lands; but, when the estate came into the hands cf the Government, their lands were eold to them st 12s. per acre. Disinterested persons were chosen and appointed to travel over the estate, and value it according to situation and quality of soil. The middie land was valued at from 53. to 7s. Sd. an acre, and the rcar land was not considered to be worth more than Ie 64. an acre.

Hon. Mr. Cotes.—Some Jands on the Worrell Estate, it is true, were valued and sold at 12s. 64 ; still it wae but few, very few farms or blocks of land that were sold so high—only a few
