COLONIAL FARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Mowpbay March, 16th.

Morning Session.

The Hon, Attorney General presented a petition from |

the Settlers on the Selkirk Kstate, and also the opinion of the Crown Law Officers therson, and moved that they be cow read.

The petition was then read by the Clerk.

The Hon. Leader of the Opposition suggested that there was no necessity for reading the Crown Law Officers’ Report, as it had appeared in print.

Said documents were then laid on the table.

Hon. Arrorney GaNkkAL presented a bill to amend the Land Purebase Bill. The provisions of this Bill are, that wheo a Government shall ascertain, by reter- ence to the Land Commiss:oner’s accounts, that a sufh- cient amount bas been paid to make any estate self- sustaining, they shal! instruct the Commissioner of Public Lands not to demand the instalments due from those who bave paid a sum equal to their full share of the amount required to make the estate self-sustaining ; and also to make a return to those who have paid more than their full sbare. their full share, are to continue paying their instalments notil such wumount shall be paid. The Government is also to have full contro! of the Wilderress land. This Act refers to Kstates which are or shall hereafter be purchased.

Received, read, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

Hon, Arreaney G2nerat gave notice that to-morrow he would move for a suppiy to Her Majesty.

Hon. Arrorney Genes introduced a Bill to repeal the Act now in force regulating the rate of interest, aud remarked :—Tbis Bili bas been brought before the House every yeur for the last three years, and ou each Occasion it has been thrown out by the upper branch of the Legislatare. In England, the Australian Colonies, and various other places, no laws exist for regulating the rate of interest, and | do not see why there should be avy on this Island. It is hard that persons will not be allowed to take more than a certain rate of interest when money is as much an article of barier as anything else. ‘he effect of a Usury Law is to drive capital out of the country, for capitalists will take their money to a place where there are no such restrictions.

Ordered, that the said bill be read a second time to- morrow. House adjourned for one hour.

Afternoon Session.

Hon. Leaver ov tuk Guvexnment submitted the Report of the Commissioners appoiuted to carry into effect the intentions of the Legisiature with respect to the Industrial Exhibition.

Read snd laid on the table.

Mr. Howarr introduced a Bil! to amend the Militia Law, and moved that it be now read the first time. He gave as a reason for introducing this Bill, that persons in the couotry were subjected to yreat inconvenience on account of being called out to drill in barvest time and other busy seasons of the year. ,

Hoo. Laaper ov true UOrvosition said: he bid never beard of a Militia Bill being introduced by a member of the Opposition, or a member on the independent benches.

Hon. Atrorney Genxenat --Although the Govern- meot generally introduce such Bills, yet there is no op rule that members on the opposite side of the

ouse should not doso. With the sentiments expressed by the hon. mewher for Tryon ‘Mr Howatt) I entirely coincide. Drilling should be performed with as little inconvenience to the peopic as possible.

Hono. Arroxner Genexat.— Pursuant to notice io the order buok, 1 wish to iutroduce a Eili %o settle the salary of the Attorney General and Solicitor General. It was always understood tbat the £350 which tne Attor- ney General received as his salary, was all that he could claim for services performed by him in his official capacity. Last year a claim was made by an ex- Attorney General for work performed by him in draw- ing plans for Bridges, Wharves, &c. The Court de- eided that such work wes not included in the official duties of an Attorney General, and gave a verdict in accordance with that decision. I maintain, and others maintain, that the construction put upon that Statute by the Court was not correct. I huve always been of opinion, and the practice of fifteen years bas confirmed me in that opinion, that the Attorney General should not claim anything over £350. When the Act was passed I believe it was the intention of the Legislature that that sum was to be the full awount claimed for all services performed. The object of this Bill is to remove any doubt on this subject. The late Government were never called upon to put avy construction on this Aet ; but had they been called upon to do so, I think they would bave put the same construction on it that the present Government have. Jn order to allow the House to ex- press an opinion on this subject, | heg leave to move that this Bill be now read a first time.

Mr. Brecxen.—I eutirely agree with what has fallen from the Attorney General. It is absolutely necessary thet all doubt ou this subject should be removed.

The Bill was then read by the Clerk, and ordered to be read a second time on \Vednesday.

Hon. Avroxxey Gexenit presented the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the purchase, classification, resulis of sale, &c., of the Selkirk Estate, From the Report, it appears that the Estate cost the Government £9918 Us. Yd., and that it was priced to realize £21590 7s. Sd., including 20 per cent on the arrears of rent. lt was afterwards priced to realize £15145 2s. 6d. independently of what would be obtained from 20,000 acres of wilderness land. On the 3let January, 1567, the amount paid to the Com- missioner of Public Lands by the settlers on that Estate was £1155Y 17s. 1Ud. The Report recommends that ouly seven of the ten instalments be exacted from each purchaser, and that those who have paid more than that amount should have the surplus refunded. More |iberal terms should also be given to persons who would par- cbase wilderness lands uow in possession of the Govern- ment.

Tvuespay, March 17.

Morning Session.

Mr. Howarr —I do not know whether it is exactly in order, bu: I wish to ask the Government a question in reference to some petitions that were sent in from Crapaud. ‘Ihe people are very desirous of having a light placed on Crapaud whart. This is a matter of considerable importauce, as Crapaud has become a very public place—large quantities of produce are annually shipped there.

ion. Leaper or Tue Government.—This not the proper time for the hun. member to make a speech on the subject. He rose to ask « question.

Mr. Howatt then gave nutice that he would ask the Government for information respecting this matter.

Mr. G. Sinctain —1 think the hon. member is a little too fast in asking a question of this kind at the present time. He should wait until the Government bring down the Estiwates tor the current year, aud then ask them what they bad done in reference to this mat- ter. Mr. Howart.—I disagree with the remarks of the hou. member trom Princetown (Mr Sinclair). When the Estimates come down it way be tvo late—perhaps they cannot be changed.

Hoa. Leaven or rae Goveunment.— The hon. At- torney 4ieneral gave notice that he would to-day move for a supply to Her Majesty. As he is uowell and un- able to attend, 1 wou iverefure move for this sup- ply.

The queatian being pet by the Speaker was carried.

The Hon. Leader of the Governn.ent presented the Classified Accounts tor the pat year :—

Receipts of the past year, £78025 18 9 Expeuditure, 738962 15 10 Balance, 4063 2 11

The receipts of the year 1866 exceeded those of 1567 by £17446 18s. 4d ; but even a greater doorease was expected when the Government made up the Kstnetes, There is a deficiency in the Impost duty of £18972 16s. 5d. ; aud inthe receipts of the Land Uffise of £2944 lzs. lid. ihe ceveune derived from other sources is nearly the same as it was last year.

Ordered that these Accounts be referred t@ the Com- mittee of Public Accaunts.

Wepnespay, March 18. Morning Session.

Mr. P. Sinelair moved for leave to introduce a Bill to amend the Act now in force for the dus observance of the Lord’s Day. In the Act now in force provision that fresh fix-h may be offered for sale during certain hours of the Sabbath. As undue advantage might be taken of this provision, he thought it expedient to bring in a Bill to prevent fresh fixh from being offer- | ed for sale at any time on the Lord’s Day. Received

and read.

| Ordered to be read a seeond time on Monday next.

| Hon. Mr. Howlan asked Jeave to introduce a Bill to ‘alter and amend the Act regulating the sale of wilder- ness land, and remarked: Lt appears that the Govern- ment have at the present time 130,000 acres of wilder- ness land, and according to the provisions of the Aet, any person purchasing such land is obliged to pay do-vn twenty per cent. of the purchase money. When the lands were in the hauds of the proprietors they induced | people to settle by letting them have farms free of rent | for some years. and the Government would do well to | follow their example in this respect. When a poor man | has to pay downtwenty per cent of the purchase money of his farm, and provide sustenance for himself and his family, he is left without means to make improvetwents on his farm. If these Jands were a!l occupied, the Gov- ernment would bave a large number of cousumers, and thus the revenue would be great‘y inereased. ‘he Gov- ernment bought these lands, not for the purpose of re- taining possession of them, but of transferriug them to the people to whom they originally belonged. A man spends twenty or thirty years on a farm, and he bus to support and educate his family out of the proceeds of it. [le may bave five or six boys, and he is then obliged to procure farms for them, and the money which should be employed in enriching his own farm, is taken for that purpose. We find that a great many young men leave our Island, and seek emplo\ment elsewhere; but when we have so much unoccupied land, some means should be employed to induce them to settle bere. In some places farms are subdivided or split up into lots of twenty-five or fifty acres each. This Bill will also have the effect of inducing pereons from other places to settle bere. The Bill provides that the settlers shall have the land free for seven years, and afterwards pay the amount in ten yearly instalments. The Bill further provides that each settler shall build a house of the value of at least twenty pounds; and clear at least one acre a year for

the first seven years, If these conditions are net complied with, the Government is agaia to take possession of the farm. There might be

cases where parties would tske up this land for the purpose of speculating upon it. They might take a farm, strip it of its timber, and then leave it, and this provision is to prevent them from doing so. In the western portion of the Island, there isa great deal of timber land, and it this land was stripped of its timber, it would be comparatively useless to the settlers, for on this they have to depend in a great measure for several years for subsistence.

Bill received and read.

Ordered to be read a second time on Friday.

Hon. Mr. Kelly presented a petition from certain in- habitants of Lots 35, 86 aud 37, showing that they suffered great loss by the repeal of the Act for the pro- tection of the Alewives fishery, and praying that this Act be renewed. The foilowing persons were appoint- ed a Committee to report on this petition :—

Hons. G. Howlan and F. Kelly, Messrs. Reilly, MeNeil!l and MeCormack.

The Hon. Attorney General presented a counter- petition on the same subject, which was ordered to be referred to the same Committee.

On motion of the Hon. Attorney General, the third order of the day was taken up, viz: the second reading of the ‘* Bill to amend the Laws establishing the salar- ies of the Attorney and Solicitor General,” and the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on the subject.

Hon. Mr. McAvtay.—This Bill has just been read a second time, and you are now going into a Committee of the whole House upon it, thus leaving no time for any member to recommend any changes in the Bill if he should think proper to do so. This motion conflicts with the 26th standing order of the House.

Hon, Atroxney GeneraL.—Did the hon. member for Georgetown, when occupying the Chair, enforce this rule. It las been the practice in this House, to move for a seco: d reading, and then go into Committee at once. I hope the hon. member will withdraw his objections, unless he wishes to change some clause of the Bill.

Hon Mr. McAvtay.—I merely wish to draw your attention to the matter at issue. What is the use of having a standing order if we disregard it. event of any member wishing to add a clause to that Bill, he would not have an opportunity of doing so, if the House went into Committee at once on the question.

Hon, Leaver o¥ THE Upposition.—There is vo doubt but that the principle laid down is a correct one; but it has been the practice in this House to go into Com- mittee immediately. When a Bill is under consider- ation of a Committee, it may be changed, and on this account a Bill never receives a name until it comes to the third reading. That Bill might possibly come out of the hands of the Committee, with quite a different name. It is right that twenty-four hours notice should be given, so that you may not take any member by surprise.

Hon. Atrorney Generat.—lIt certainly would be a very inconvenient practice to carry into effect, and un- less the hon. member has some amendment to move, I must express my surprise at the objection which he takes to this motion, for a few days ago, he was com- plaining that there was nothing todo. It has been the prectice here, that immediately after a Bill has been read a second time, the House should go into Commit- tee on it. It is very well that this rule to which the hon. member has referred, should be strictly adhered to in the House of Commons of Kngland, but io a sma!! House like this, there is no necessity for it.

Hon. Mr. McAutay.—The observation of the hon. Attorney General, seems to favor the idea that it is better io do evil than be idle. Now, Sir, the impedi- ment which stands inthe way of your putting that question, is the 26th standing Order, and the only way to get over the difficulty is to suspend that order. I do not intend to impede the Bill. It is well known that lawyers are very fond of money, and it is well to have tbe law so strict, that the Attorney General cannot elaim more than he is entitled so. It 1s an Act of geuerosity, on the part of the Attorney General to move this Bull, but it is as much as to say, that he cannot trust to his vwn integrity. (Laughter.)

On motion of the Hon. Attorney General, the twenty- sixth standicg Order was then suspended, and the House went into Committee on the question.

Bacpersron, Reporter.

Taunspay, March 19. Morning Session.

Hon. Attorney General moved that the first order of the day be taken up, viz: the second reading of the « Bill to amend the Acts now in force, regulating the rate of interest, and to make some provisions on the same subject,” and remarked: As the law gow stands persone cannot take more than six per cent., when se- curity is givea on real estate. It was formerly the law that no more should be taken on any security; but the provisions of the law were relaxed with respect to ail other securities, except those on realestate. [ am quite sure that hon. members are very weil aware that the law is evaded in every shape and form, and it is almost null aud void. Various opinions are eutertained on the subject, whether the rate of interest should be regulated by statute or not. Of course, if the Usury Law is abo- lished, any rate of interest may be taken, and I think it is right that it shuuld be so, when persons are al- lowed to charge what percentage they think proper on every other description of goods. The rate of iuterest varied from time to time, in the reiga of Heury VILL. the rate fixed by law was ten per cent. ‘Then again in the reign of Edward VL. another statute was passed, aod it has a very strong Preamble, whieh it may be weil to read, to show the opinions which the people of that time held upon this subject :—

The Act against usury, 5 & 6 Edward VI., cap. 20, | befenring te the preceding Act ef Heary VIII., states in

My a eae a ad

— - a phe ge

In the |

|

there is a

the preamble *‘ The which Act was not neant or intended for the maintenance and allowance of usiry, 36 divers per- sons, blinded with inordinate love for themselves, have and do mistake the same, but rather wes made and wit- nessed against all sorte and kinds of uewy, 98 4 thing un- lawful, as by the title and preamble of the said Act it doth plainly appear; and yet, neverfhelees, the same was, by the said Act, permitted for the avoiding of more evil and inconvenience, that before that time was used and exercised :— But forasmuch as usury is by the word of God utterly prohibited as a vice most odous and detestable, asin divers place s of the Holy Seriphut it is evident to be seen, which thing, by no godly teaching and persuasions can sink into the hearts of divers greedie uncharitable, and covelous persons of this realm, nor by any terrible threaten- ings of God's wrath and vengeance, thatustly hangeth over this realm, for the great and open usurie therein dayly used

| and practised, they will forsake such filthy gain and lucre,

unless some temporal punishment be provided and ordained in that behalf.’ The Act, therefore. proceeding upon this wccurate and judicious view of the subject, prohibits, un- der pain of imprisonment, fine, and ransom, the taking of any interest whatever.”’

Thus we see that in the reign of Edward VI. they took what they thought the scriptural view of the case, and they thought that the heart of man was so perverse that bothing but pains and penalties would prevent him from taking interest. But it was found * that this Act had not done so much good as it was hoped wt should,” and therefore, the Act was repealed, acd the prohibition of 37 Henry VUIL. against taking more than ten per cent was revived. ‘The rate of interset was subsequently re- duced to six and from thatto five per vent. Usury ie very harsh term. It was laid down by Lord Commissioner Eyre that “usury is taking more than the law allows upon aloao.” But then arises the question whether or not the law should put any restrictions upon it? If interest is to be taken at all, should the State interfere with it, or leave it to be settled between the parties ? Tie Usury Law has been repealed in England, Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and other places. We know that a high rate of interest attracts capital toe country ; but if we have a lower rate of interest than our neighbors, instead of a capital flowing into the country, the reverse will be the case—the capitalists of our coun- try will go elsewhere to invest their money, I can see no good reason to make any difference between landed security and any other kind of contracts, The question is whetber this matter should not be left like ail other kinds of mercantile transactions to be settled between man and man, A man buys a barrel of flour and puts what profit he likes On it, and why should he not be al- lowed the same freedom in trading with his money? It seems to be the general idea now that all restrictions should be done away with, and purties leftto make their own bargains.

Hon. Leaver or tae Oppostrion.—I rise, Mr. Speaker, to second the motion of the hon, Attorney General, and I must say I congratulate bim on the able manper in which he has out-generaled my hon. friend from Tryon (Mr. Howatt)—the Bill has been read a second time without a dissenting voice. I fully agree with all that hae fallen from the lips of the hon. Attorney General on this subject, for I believe that money should not be shackled and tied down any more than a bale of cloth on a shopkeeper’s shelf, I never could see the reason why a capitalist should not get the same profit for his £100 of gold, as if he invested the same money in ony other business. 1 had the honor, Mr. Speaker, of putting in the small end of the wedge to overturn the Uusury Law when, some twelve or thirteen years ago I introduced a Bill to provide that more than six per cent. could be claimed on personal contracts, where the time did not exceed twelve months; and afterwards the time was extended to three years. In England, Sir, ‘you are aware the Usury Law has been wiped off the Statuie Book, and mouey is there as free as any other article of merchandise. We are aware that many persons look upon the paying of usury as something morally wrong. There was a school of Divines that promulgated the opinion that uo interest should be taken for money. ‘The Jews were forbidden to take interest from one of their own nation, but there was an express provision in their law that usury might be taken from strangers, thus showing that the restric- tion was made on political grounds only, for had it been morally wrong to receive usury, it would have been just as bad for them to take it from a Philistine, as from one of their own countrymen. It has been laid down by Aristotle, as an argumeat against taking usury, that money is barren, it can not be made to fructify; but you might say the same of a barrel of flour. It seems to be the spirit of the age to take away every obstacle from commerce. A great many persons who are unwilling to charge a higher rate of interest than the law allows, will not let their money on landed securities at all; and this leaves a monopoly in the hands of a few, whereas if the law was left open, it would bring a great many more into the market, and money would be obtained at a cheaper rate than it is at the present time, aod farmers, who are the principal borrowers, would have greater facilities for getting loans without giving their notes at three months in the Bank, a practice which they find to be very incon- venient, and [ do not think the money lenders would ask more than the present Bank rates for their money. But [ suppose we shall have opposition to this Bill, as I see my hon. friend from Tryou (Mr. Howatt) is get- ing buttoned up for the battle.

Mr. Howart.—lI suppose, Mr. Speaker, if we are go- ing to war we had better be at it. 1am one of those who differ from the hon. Attorney General and also from the hon. Leader of the Opposition. The argument of the jast speaker appears to be that under the present Act persons can get a higher rate of interest than six Now | would ask if this be so what more is wanted? I cannot see the necessity for avy more legislation on the subject. 1 understood the hon. Leader of the Opposition to say that there was every facility for evading the law; it so, then why do they persevere year after year in trying to get it repealed.

Hon. Mr. Ketty.—The Hon. Attorney General has been pleased to inform us, Sir, of the salutary pains and penalties enacted by the Statutes of King Henry VIIL., and others who succeeded him, against usury and ex- tortion in all its phases, and which I have been much pleased in hearing, as it would seem he (Henry VILL.) was then in his sober senses, and is said to have been both a Seripturalist and a Theologian. But the bon, Leader of the Opposition wishes us to believe that the taking of usury has not been furbidden iu the Old Testament except by the Jews from their brethren. [ am willing to admit that the hon, and learved member’s judgment is very good on most difficult matters, but it does not appear to be so on the Sacred Scriptures. I think, Sir, it will be found in both the Old and New Testaments, that usury and extortion, which are nearly synonymous terms, are in many places strongly condemn- ed, and shown to be wholly irreconcilable with the laws of God. When our forefathers, a ceatury ago, deewed it expedient to enact penalties agalust this evil, I think we have every right to respect their wisdom on that score. Lt has been stated that this Bill will very wuch besefit farmers in the country, by enabling them tu raise wouey on their farms by mortgage, at seven and a half per cent. I can assure you Sir, that the number of money lenders who charge ouly seven and a balt per ceut. is very small; @ tar greater uumber will be found to charge twenty or thirty per cent., and when a farmer gets his farm encumbered with a mort- gage bearing interest at that rate, he will never be ab.e to redeew it in ninety-uine cases out of a huodred:

esars. SeTH W. Fow.e & Sox. aipowe, Gane :—Several months since a Mee geughter of mine, ten years of age, was taken with A Ceugh in avery aggravated form, and nething we co do for her seemed in any way to relieve her suffering. We at length decided to try a bottle of Dr. Wistar's Baisam of Wild Cherry. In three hours after she bad commenced using it, she was greatly relieved, and in less than three days was entirely cured, and is pow well. 1 have since recommended the Balsam to many of = neighbors, who have used it, and in no case have known it fail of effecting a speedy cure.

You are at liberty to make any use of the above you think proper. If it shall induce anybody to use your Balsam | shal! be glad, for 1 have great confidenee in it.
