A Trip Through the Eastern Part of King’s County.
( Continued.)
Beautiful as are the works of nature at St. Peter's Bay, attractive as are the works of man, itis when the history of events that there happened is taken up, that the student revels in the richness of the feast.
Among those incidents none, perhaps, will better beur recital and prove of greater interest than a short account of the canses and consequences of a public meeting that Pwas held at St. Peter’s Bay in March, 1823, in eovjunction with public meetings held at Prinvetown and Charlottetown during the same month.
“His Excellency Charles Douglas Smith was then Lieutenant Governor of the col- ony, #&d had, for some years, carried on pili business without the aid of the Legislative Assembly, that body not having
been called together for the despatch of busitielg for nearly three years. In year 1816, he arrearages due for
quit tefits, by an arrangement made in that year,, Were forgiven by His Majesty, althoagh at the same time it was declared ‘that the future quit rents “would be re- gularly demanded on a reduced scale, then under donsideration. In January, 1818, however, the Lieutenant Governor, direct- ed the Acting Receiver General to en- force payment of the arrears which had oc- curred between June, 1816, and December, 1817, on the old scale; and, in consequence many persons were greatly harrassed and distressed in order to make up this money. An account of the hardships inflicted having been reported in England in the following April, orders were soon after transmitted from the Colonial Department to discon- tinue these proceedings, and to refund to the parties, from whom the same had been exacted, all that had been received above the rate of two shiliings per hundred acres, and that the new rate of assessment should commence from December, 1816, instead of the preceding June. It was then also an- nounced that the quit rents would be col- lected regularly each year; but the years 1819, 1820 aud 1821 passed over without any public @emand being made. Several persons, who were desirous of avoiding ‘the risk and inconvenience of allowing the quit rents to accumulate, tendered payment of their arrears to the acting Receiver General ; but by him they were informed that he had no authority to receive these amounts. In 1822 the following notice was posted up in different parts of Char- lottetown :— Quit Reyt Orrice, June 26, 1822.
‘* This office will be kept open from the first to the fourteenth of July ensuing, for the / payment of all arrears of quit rents, due and payable within this Island. Office hours from 10 o'clock to 2.
** J. E. CARMICHAEL, Acting Receiver General.”
At this time it was generally believed in the Island that unless the quit rents of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were also collected that no further demands for them would be exacted in Prince Edward Island; and this impression was confirmed when it was observed that no dissatisfaction was expressed by the Local Government at the general neglect with which the Acting Re- ceiver General’s notice of June, 1822, was treated by the great majority of the land holders. In December, 1822, the Acting Receiver General posted up another ad- vertisement in a few places about the town, and a few copies were alse sent into the country, so it was said ; but the matter was 80 managed that not one tenth of the inhabitants ever heard of them until after the time for payment, therein limited, had expired. This notice was worded some- what differently from the one posted up in June; but neither did it contain any posi- tive demand, nor was there any notice from the Colonial Government that orders had been received from the proper depart- ment in England to eniorce payment of all arrears. If this had been done the authority from which the foregojng has been obtained asserts that no reasonable opposition could have been made, and all would have complied with what was expect- ed from them to the utmost of their means, although a great mavy would not have been able tu complete their payments in fourteen days. It was considered that it was utter- ly impossible, in view of the state of trade in the Island at that time, that so large a sum as four and a half years’ quit rents would amount to—notwithstaad- ing the fact that a great part of the lands were in the hands of non-resident proprie- tors, who had the option of making their payments in Kagland—yet the amount of arrears on the land of residents would ex- ceed all the circulating medium then on the Island. The notice of the Acting Re- ceiver General was, consequently, not at- tended to, and at 3 o'clock on the 14th of January, 1823, the office was shut, and those who came even an hour afterwards had their payments refused.
On the 27th of January Coun Douly Rankin, a bosom friend of the Acting jRe- ceiver Genera], and Cecil Wray Townshend, the then deputy sheriff of the Island, were despatched to commence proceedings against the owners of land, great and small. They began their operations by taking a distress on two of the principal proprietors on Townships 36 and 37; and then without stopping, or leaving any person in sion of the lands they had seized, they pro- ceeded rapidly to the eastern district of King’s County, this being one of the most popvious districts in the Island, and where the greatest number cf smail proprietors were resident. These people had heard nothing of the action that had been taken

that period. This district—extending from St. Peter’s Bay along the north side towards the East Point—was situated from fifty to seventy miles from Charlottetown. The greater part of the settlers were Highland- ers, manyof them speaking no language other than their native Geelic, and all of them very poorly informed of their rights and privileges. Most of these poor people, overwhelmed with the prospect of ruin that threatened them from a source against which they were without protection, were compelled to pay what was demanded or give their notes, to redeem ' which they were obliged to set off to town through deep snows, at a most inclement season, with loads of wheat and such other produce as each was enabled to bring to market for the purpose of raising money. | The labor, fatigue and difficulty of their’ journey were such as no men would suffer for three times the value of the property they took with them, or, indeed, for any- thing short of saving themse:ves and fami-_ lies from absolute ruin. In consequence of this rush to Charlottetown, the market soon became overstocked with such pro- ducts as the farmers had to sell, and we are told that after they had submitted to a variety of insult and abusive language from the Acting Receiver{General and his deputy, their wheat was accepted in payment at from one shilling to one and sixpence per bushel under the price that previously had been current throughout the Island. This ‘caused many of these people to fall short in their payments, and we are told that one man, in order to complete his, was com- pelled to part with his worsted mittens that he had worn on his journey, to the worthy. friend and deputy of the Acting Receiver | General. No doubt it was of one of those people who at that time came to Charlotte-' ppekin tian Slane, inte. nemeaels aes town to sell their grain to make up this, that it is a genuine article. Its use has

No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre avi pliancy that adds greatly to its charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, co: turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore the color, bring out a new growth, and render the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, there is no better preparation in the market.
