When we see an officer neglecting the duties of pis office, insulting the public with impunity,

THE LAND COMMISSION.

chief topic of conversation both in town and country, at the present time, is the Commission which has been appointed ap- parently or avowedly to adjust the existing differences between | the proprietors and their tenants. The Government have taken | great credit to themselves for propounding this scheme—have promised that it shall become a sovereign remedy for all the hardships and inconveniences which the tenant labours ander, ; on account of the leasehold tenure —and have. we believe, ex- ' cited hopes and expectations which, if they had the power, | we believe they have not the inclination to assist in realiz- | ing. i

| from a thousand and one mouths

Chis interest felt in the subject has led to the enquiries

W ben will the Commission-

jers open their Court? where will it ve? how will they pro- |

leved to perform their duties? and how many Townships do

| you think will be escheated ?

The Court will be pened to-morrow, and the Hail of the House of Assembly

will be the place.

The two first questions we can answer.

The thiré question is one which, we think,

the Commissioners themselves cannot answer; and as to the,

fourth question—how giany townsiips will be escheated ?—we

}may safely assume that not une was ever intended should be '

escheated by the present Board of Comamussioners, and never |

will be, however liable to ferfeitare many of them may be.

At the time we write, (Monda¥), we are eredibly informed that the Government have not made out a case for the Com- | missioner Appointed on belulfof the Tena try,—in fact the | three gentemen, Messrs. Howe, Gray and Ritchie, have no vther guide to their proceedings, as we can jearn, than their Commission from the Queen and the Act of the local Legis- lature. They wil prubabiy read the first in open Court to- | morrow ; and it is, no dvabt, couched in very general terims,

| ithout puinting vut the precise course tu be pursued in settling |

‘the matters in dispute. The Act of the Legis!ature here— which, by the way, has not received tue royal assent—ie cer- tainly as vague aod indefinite as any thing of the kind can well be. egitated in this Island, arising out of the land tenure; but | there is not une sulitary clause im the Act which requ.res the Commissioners to settle any of the questions which, in the

| preamble, are suid to have agitated the public mind—namely, | Escheat, the Quit Rents, and the Fishery Reserves,—nor does |

| this Act, in any way, point out the precise course which the | Commissiuners shall pursue; nor instruct them to entertain | or reject the questions here referred to.

In the absence of any line of procedure from the Government,

| as a guide to the Commissioners, we must be content with an |

article from the Islander, indicating the reeults which we may The Is'ander not merely shadows the policy of the Executive, but

jexpect from the deliberations of this novel Court.

upon as an announcement of the po icy of the Government | We take the following extract from his last paper, showing ‘how far the Court may, with the approval of the Government, | extend their deliberations :—

‘« The Government will doubtless ‘ submit’ to the Commis

| sioners the many evils to the Colony w ich resalt from its lands , being held under lease, and from abs-ntee Landiords—and wiil

urge upou them the propriety of fixing upun a rate per acre, |

|as the price at which the Tenantry may be enabled, at ny | time, te convert their leaseholds into freeholds, and also the

expediency of allowing every Tenant, who may desire to be-!

come a freeholdér, to pay to his Landlord the price of his farm by instalments; and in al! cases wiere instalinents shall be paid, providing that the rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to the interest, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, on | the eum of the instalments. the Tenantry, they will, in our opinion, have a most beneficial effect upon the prosperity of the Colony. At present very ‘many of our farmers, who pay rent, erroneously consider | themselves as ‘slaves’ to their Landlurds—from whose annual | demand for rent they cannot, witgout their consent, free them- selves, even by the payment of @ sum of money, the interest of which would be equivalent to the rent demanded rom them | Under the seheme wich we advocate, and which is that pro- | posed in Colonel Gray's resolutions, the Tenant having the | price of his farm fixed, may at any time become a freeholder j}and independent, on paywent of that sum.”*

| If this be all we are to expect from the Commissioners, their }appointment will not be merely a delusion and a snare, but an insult to the common senée and intelligence of the country.

from Lord John Rassell, nearly twenty year. ago, lays it | down as the opinion of that Colonial Misister, that “an es ; cheat on the ground of failure to fulfil the conditions would | be unjust.”” How, then, are the Commissivaers to enforce (the payment of the arrears of Quit Rents ?—bow will they compel the propcietors to relinquish the usurped Reserves ? | Once acknowledge the claims of the proprietors, and confirm | them in their possessions—whieh was andoubtedly the ob- Ject of our Government from the first in asking sor the appoint- -ment of the Commission -— and it will be absurd to think of forcing any concessious from them.
