Hon, Mr. HUTCHINSON. —I have heard that many tenants, who only owed one year’s rent, have been distrained upon.

Hon. Mr. BAGNALL.—I have no objection to allow the petition te lie upow the Table. It was not to prevent any of your Honors from seeing it that I moved that it should be referred to a special Committee.

The question of concurrence was then put on the amend- ment, and it passed ia the affirmative.

Hon. Mr. Ramsay presented a petition of certain inhabi- tants of Lots 18 and 19, praying for a similar Act. In presenting this petition, his Honor said—I am aware that tenants have been distrained upon in different parts of the Island. At Malpeque, a poor tenant was sued before the

Hon, Col. SWABEY said he thought there was an omis- sion in the Bill, as it authorized a Hog Reeve to call upon any person in the district for aasistance in securing a bog; but there was no penalty ig case of refusal.

Hon. the PRESLDENT,—It would be very annoying to a traveller, who might be im haste, to be stopped on the road to assist in catching a hog.

Hon. Col, Swabey moved that the clause be ameaded by adding, * all persons refusing to assist shall forfeit the sum of five shillings, to be recovered by any two of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, by the sale of the goods and chattels of any such person so refusing.” 6 6s

On the clause relating to fines imposed by the Act being

Hon. Mr. BAGNALL remarked—That he thought the fine imposed by this Act was very heavy, and that there peared to be a dissimilarity between a fiue of £18 and ag unprisonment of 30 days, in case of the fine not being paid, Hon. the PRESLDENT.—I was not aware that this Act had been introduced into the Legislature until I saw it inthe reports, and I think it isa very necessary Act. The fine imposed by the old Act is entirely too light. 1 bare an or-

chard, but I seldom get the fruit of it, I find it quite im-

possible to keep fruit, flowers or ornamental trees. As it ig left to the discretion of the Justices of the Peace, and as @

person voluntarily committing trespass should be severely punished, I do not consider the fine too heavy.

Hou. Mr. RAMSAY.—I agree with his Honor Mr. Bag-

nall that there is a want of similarity between the fine and

imprisonment, I would rather make the imprisonment two

months,
