would like to hear the opinions of some who are better acquainted with the less than I am.

Hon. Mr. PALIEI: No doubt this is

a question of considerable importance to the agricultural portion ot the comma- sity. and cases have arisen out of it on several occasions which have been de— cibd ht Courts of Law; but thonodo- eioiens have not been on ' the direct question which is now brought to the consideration of the Legislature. that is. a. the right at e {inimerh to the centred onthat rto tssoro which use mi.” lb‘ 0mm”. not re p:ly belong to, orcomo with- “' int dsoihsierm.

m '°‘ ‘5“ I” u ‘ Pm of The question arises then, to whom does property of this nature. lodging on that psrt oi the shore. belong I There can be no question as to the right of what is thrown above high water mark. for it belongs to the owner of the land on which it is thrown ; but the question is recrui- ing what is thrown on that space the soil recognised as the sea shore. Now. though several cases have been decided in our Courts. they were instances in which the party who claimed theseawesd did no inset some right in addition to that claimed by the public, such as evi- dence, more or less. of private right to the place in question. 'I‘heroiore.tho ques- tion hesnever been decided, as to whether a stranger can take seaweed from oil the shore ndioiniug, but not within the bounds of a private farm or not. and until that question is fairly tested. it is not with us to decide whet the law is upon the sub. ject. However, I have had occasion, and have been called upon at various times to look into the question. end I have been led to the ccnclusion,that there is no common law right in a stranger to take seaweed from the sea shore in op- position to the will end assertion oi right of the man opposite whose farm it lodges. Besides, it is stated very truly in the re- port of the committee. that there have been no. or very lew. decisions in Eng- land, on the right to that particular ar- ticle. Indeed, I am not aware oi any, though I am acquainted with sense in Ireland to which reference is made in the report, where a question wee brought before the Court of Queen's Bench. and the Judges decided that the seaweed was the property of the parties in the front oi whose lend it was thrown up. That de- cision was never questioned, and there was no appeal from it. It is a diillcnlt question tolegislete upon. On one hand there are strong and just reasons for a party. if he has gone to the expense of purchasing a farm with a shore iront. and given a higher price for it than if it were in the interior of the country. to in- sist on the right, and it would ap ear hardto interiors with his right,an de~ rive him of whet be calculated upon as being a part of the value or privileges of his lend ; and on the other hand. it is equally diilicult to come to the conclusion that where vast quantities of seaweed are thrown up on the shores. the public should be precluded from participating in the benefit of it, by the arbitrary will oi apcrsoa on whose share it is thrown, end who has a superabnndence of the article. It is for these reasons the Legi-s lature is celled upon to interiors - end while I concur in the opinion of ti .3- mitten, I nevertheless regret th. e could not be an Act passed to six “no question. ior there is no doubt it \ .ti be one of litigation in the Colony. It would be very well if the Legislature could do- vise a well framed law, having duo re- gard both to the private and just rights of the owners of lead, and at the some time to the extended benefits the article may ail'ord to the public. I would have been better pleased. ii an Act framed on judicious principles, had been introduced : it would be doubtless be more acceptable to the public ; but it is extremely difllcult to legislate upon it,.as all cases must be where private rights are effected. How- ever. there are views set forth in this re- port which may be some guide to the pie in the tutors. Ii parties should nominate t their right, and if it should be decided in favor oi the public. or that the owners of land on the shores have the whole exclusive right, then there will be greater necessity to pass a bill to modify the law on more just and equita- ble principles. if possible. The question will become ot great importance; for as our agriculture increases, the value of that article as a manure will be more
