The Land Office.
Payments of all arrears due the Land Office for the purchase of lands is requested and notice is also “‘given to on Government
next month ; all tenants or occupiers estates who are in arrears for rent, and who have not yet attorned, that legal proce »d- ings will be taken to recover all such ar- rears; and, if the tenants holding such lands neglect or refuse to purchase the same without delay, the freehold interest in such lands will be disposed of either by public or private sale, as prescribed by the 26th sectian of the Act 16th Vic Cap. 18.”
These stringent measures are, we assume, the result of the frequently-expressed opin ion, in the Legislature and in tae Press, that it is expedient to abolish the Land Office Really it is hard to will continue to pay

and save the large expense it entails. imagine why persons rent when they can terms as are offered by

the (iovernment. Though the measures to be taken who have failed to pay up, there’can be no doubt that the abolition of the Land Office will be hailed with pleasure by the mass of the people.

tributed to the publi
'to the building of ships at all, ithe construction of Souris Breakwater, to Mr. | Doyle, the contractor; and a low, malicious and unwarrantable attack upon the reputation ‘of the Government Inspector, James Macdon- ald, Esq.
|
| Dear Sin—+In looking over the columns of \your paper of the 29th ult., I happened to | notice a communication over the signature of | Donald Ramsay, Sh builder, and I can assure |you [ was not only a little surprised to find | that the brilliant effusion so lavishly con i
}
Mr. Ramsay goes on to show that he dis- charged himself from Mr. Doyle's employ, 'that his wages were not forthcoming, that the paaceiich Cowt will adjudge him his rights, | & Well, wetare all of’ opinion ‘that | }
j } }
C. the Supreme Court will adjudge to him his rights; andif his rights are proper ly and honestly adjudged, he will be made pay Mr, Doyle what ha ewes him.
Again Mr. Ramsay says, ‘‘Justice, evident- | ly, knows but little about the antecedents of this second hand contractor, and, more par- ticularly, infinitely less,oi the work at Souris.’ This is, certainly, cool ; and can be imputed to nothing else than his blissful ignorance. What have I, and the public generally to do, or care, about the antecedents of Mr. Doyle or Ramsay either. But we haszard the assertion
that ir. Doyle’s antecedents will compa re very favorably with Mr. Ramsay’s. I have always found Mr. Doyle honorable and
straightforward in his word and dealings. Not so Mr. Ramsay, who endeavors to injure the reputation of James McDon ald, Esq., the Government Inspector of the Sourt Break- water. Why! I have heard Ramsay say that Mr. MeDonald was altogether too strict in the ara of this work, ; that he would have to get planes for the men to fit the timber; that he could scarcely please Mr. McDonald at all,—although the werk was i being constructed better than required by the specitication. I know Mr. McDonald; and I say this, that he would not allow Ramsay to get away with him. iiamsay has had to nurse his wrath many a time while epdcavoring to’ shght the wor k ; and often has he been brought to an account by Mr. McDonald and forced to do his work ina good and sub- stantial manner. He (Ramsay) talks about the work not having been properly constructed. Why! If such is the case, that the work has been (as he hints) slighted, is he not to blame ? The only motive Ramsay could have had in endeavoring to slight the work was, that he was too indolent to have it well done; and he could not get along with his skrimp-shanks with Mr. McDonald. Mr. McDonald has just cause to be proud of the work he has had un- der his control, and it will stand for many years, no doubt, as @ monument to his credit. ‘‘Justice” is quite conversant with the sub- ject he has written on, and understands much more about the Souris Breakwater, both me- chanically and scientifically, than does the man of the butting name. Iam, &c.,
