‘he hon. member, in introducing the Bill said, its intention is to embrace, in one gciicrail Act ol' lncorporutiun all Chiipels, Pursoiiiigc Houses.

Schools, or other Properties, may not lie wrcsted from the Societies ; and appropriated to other usns than those for which they were originiilly intended. The Bill is. I believe, nearely a transcript ofuu Act recently passed in l\ovu.

Toxsiuv, March 28. NEIL nAmtAcii’s cssn

The Petition of Theo liilus Stewart, Attorney at Law, prayin that t e present House of As- sembly will re eein the guarantee of the late

ouse, so far as at present necessary, in mak- ing good the expensc incurred in investigating the case of Nei Darriich, a Petitioner to the late House, was taken up and read.

(The guarantee referred to, is that ivcn by the last paragraph of the Report on t e ciiso, ado ted by the late House, on the 9th of April, 185$, which is as follows 2-“ Your Committee would therefore recommend that an Address be presented to His Excellency the Lieut. Gover- nor, requesting that he will be pleased to sub- mit tno evidence and Report of the Special Committee of this House, to the Judges of the Supreme Court, or Court of Chaucer , with a view to ascertain their decision on t c merits of Neil Darrach's case, and should the recom- mend it new trial to be commenced, t on this House will make good any expense attending the sums. ’]

. r. Wullfllfofl moved, That the Peti- tion be referred to the House when in Commit- tee ofnupply.

ll-lr. MOONIY seconded the motion.

Soiiic discussion then ensued on the question --which eross outof the Hon. Mr. Warburton‘s motion—whether the condition on which the pledge was given by the late House, had been complied with, and whether unless it had actually been complied with, the House could, with propriety, assume the obligation of that

led .

The lion. the Ari-oaitrr Geitsnr. was positive- yl of opinion that the condition had not been complied with The Address itself was quite clear as to the condition on which the pledge was 'ven, end full sustained his opinion. It sei , " And should they (the Jud s recom- mend a new trie to be common , t on this House will make good any expense attending the seine." It did not appear that the Judges had recommended a new trial, or that s new

, been instituted. How then could the House consistently vote the nionpyonscesser to pay the Bill of th xptltlonerl Hpuse ed, 99 donbt,plsd nisslves as they did, think-_ in thet, if t e Judges recommended a new tag], it would be only because it epmrsd to

surely the present llouss could be under _no

uliligutiun to do it. He did not, however. win

to zidlicre tim closely to the letter of the pledge. the words of the Address, the t-ertiiinly cou not comply with the pruyer 0 the Petitioner. But he was wil- ling to waive the objections to the motion before the House, which arose out of a literal inter- prouition of the Address. and to agree that it was the intention of the late House that ifiuiy furilicr roe:-cdings in law were taken on be- half of )arr:ich, with reference to the case,

, :'t)ni,'ul'nlng which ho had petitioned them, the

piiyincnt of the expenses thereby incurred. should be provided for by them. lle won‘ presume that lie hail uiude an cflort to pro- cure irreheiiring of his case.

.\lr. ll. Hi\vii.ixn.—lf the lion. member who pr-eseiitetl the Petition, can show that the spirit of the .’td<lrcss lius been acted upon, and that the pruccctliiigs which have been taken by the Petitioner, on bi-biilf of his client, Darrecli. were .‘t".)lllillefl(ilt3d by the Judges of tlie Su- pri-me (‘uurt, I will not oppose the motion for r.-fcrriiig the Petition to the Committee 0 Silpplv. But of opinion that, because an Attorney, whether Mr. Thecphilus Stewart, or any other, may have seen u Resolu- tion of the .-tsseiiibly. amounting to a pledge to make good iiny expense consequent upon cer- tain proceutllllgs in liiw, conditionally institued, he iuiiy voluntarily take up the matter, regard- less of the conditions set forth in the Resolution, ‘itllll, liiiving done so. that he may then justly look to the Assembly for the payment of his Bill of Costs.

Hon. Mr. Wiiisunro.v.-—As the last House intended, the matter was brought before the J ridges of the Supreme Court, for the purpose of procuring a new trial. The were, however, ofopinion t int it could not brought before the Court iigiiin: but inted out another course, by pursuing whic , Darrach might ob- tain redre~s, if, as it was alleged, his Attorney, through neglect ofduty. or in any other wey,hed sarriliccd his interests; and that course was the commencing of an action for damages, on such grounds, against his Attorney. This course has been pursued ; und the action so instituted is still pending. The spirit of the Resolution of the late House has, therefore, been carried out. The Petitioner has acted on the faith of it; and. consequently, this House, the me‘ rity of whom were members of the late lrdguse, must be held bound to redeem the ledge, on the faith of which, the Petitioner andlhis client have acted.

Mr. DAVIE! warmly supported the motion for the Petition‘s being referred to the Committee of Supply. The last Hence, be said, were almost unanimous in the opinion, that Darrneh had been most shamefully ill-used, and that it was their dutv to use every means in their power, to pro- cureliim redress. Were the present House to reject the Petition, their doing so, would give diesalisfacllon to the whole country ; for it would be regarded as an evidence of their disposition to give up the week to the oppression of the strong, .Inll lo countenance arbitrary and unfseling lend- limls and egcnts, in their cruel eltempte to persecute and crush every tenant who, although iinfuriiinstely in their power, had the courage to resent their oppressive and unjustifiable sxsctions.

Mr. Mooruw took a review of the whole case. He msiiiisinsd, that it was clearly understood b the last Hiiu-‘e, that, as justice lied been denied to Diirrach elsewhere, lie was entitled to it at their ltniide. It mattered not, he said, whet construc- tion could be put upon the words oflhe Rcsolulicn; fur it was well-known, that the late House, in agreeing to it. meant to allow whatever reasonable expenses should be incurred, in endeavouring to procure redress for Dsrrach,eitber in tlie Su- preme Court: or in lllB Court of Chancery. _

Mr. Fiusicit. said, that when there could bebut one opinion about the intention of the late House, they should not cavil about words. The intention was, that an attempt should be rnsde to rociirs justice for Darrscli: and that they woul make grind the expenses. One course had been tried, that of seeking a new trial; but it failed. Another, however, was pointed out by the Judges of the Supreme Court, which was, that of an action for diiiniigcs against Dsmicli'e Attorney. He (Mr Fraser) was in Court when the Judges pointed it out. li had been adopted; and the action was still pending.

Hon. the COl.0flIAl. SlCll:'l'AIY.-—Hss believed, the evidence and report of the SpecielCollimilloe, nppolnled by the late House to investigate the case, had been laid before the isle Government, and, by them, referred to the Judges of the Supreme Court; and it was quite certsin,thet proceedings in law, for the purpose of procuring redress for D‘\tfIt‘.ll. lied been Isken, es the late liuuse intended. In his opinion, therefore, it would be quite proper to refer the Petition, with i taxed Bill of Costs annexed, to the Committee of Supply. _

llim. Mr. Mouroournv, hon. Mr. Maesule , Mr. Wiahtinsn, rind Mr. Dense, all spoke near y to ihessme cfiuct. They severally said that the liill iif Costs should be eiinexsd to the Petition ; sud ilisi sll other documents rslsiing to the case, and evidence to show that the condition, on which the late House bed agreed to make good the expenses consequent upon further legal - inas, which might be instituted on behalf of Dsrrech. had been complied with, should be laid before the House, to enable them satisfactorily is ssceiisin, liow fer they ought to consider them- selves bound to make good the conditional pledge of the late House.

Hon. Mr. Wiesceroit ex lainsd, that the Bill of Costs was not annexed) to the Petition, because at the time the Petition was entrusted to the honorable member who presented it, (the hon. Mr. Wheleq), it was not taxed, or indeed, he understood, all made out, so as to be ready for taxation. The Petitioner, howsvcr,wee aware of the necessity of havin his Bill of Costs submitted to the House, in connexion with his Petition, and had engaged to send it in immediately.

With the understendin that the mud Bill of Costs should he lei before the House, before any further action should be taken with respect to thePetidon, it was ord red to be
