made their award,

Mr. DAV LES seconded, and spoke in f:vor of the amend- |

ment. Ile then referred to Despatches connected with the granting of Responsible Government to P. E. Island, and to

the negotiations dberween Goveraor Bannerman and the Go- | vernment of the Colony on that subject, showing that Re- sponsible Government was granted on certain conditions, and

it appeared to him (Mr. Davies) that one of these was that

landed tenures should not be disturbed. He then adverted jto the remedial measures whica were resorted to by the late ' Government ty improve the coudition of the tenantry, such

az the land parchase scheme. They tried that measure from

[851 to 1859, and did not succeed, and he blawed them for } vot being williny to allow the present Gevernment two years

‘to endeavor io effect a settlement of the land tenure diffical-

ities, He then said that if the late Government had been

| successful in getting the loan of £10U,0U0 steriing, that pro- jbably by this time little of it would be to be seen. He

‘thought the Commission would be ihe means of effecting much ‘good, Mr. Davies spoke at vonsiderable length. | Hon. Mr. COLES replied. —He ailaled to the Despateh | ‘which the hun. mem er for Charlottetowa read concerning ithe granting of Respoumble Government, and showed that | ‘months were consamed in negotiating about the terms on | which it was to be obtained, and that Governor Bannermag was instructel to make the best bargain with the Culony ‘which he could, and that the Governwent did make the best ‘bargain iu their power, though they did not get all they desired.

~- ——= Hou. Mr COLES continued his speech of Saturday eveniog, «ad occupied the time of the committes for upwards of an hour, He referred to information which be bad given the commissioners, and stwied that be bad put into their handsa census reture of 1827, which showed that at that time but ‘ew of the Townships bad the number of settlers mentioned in the original grants. fle also remarked that he believed the Fery ohject of the Gevernment in purchasing Lot 54, was to place a class of scttiers there ior tiie jitrpore of swamniog that District, so as to secure the return of some of their sup: porters. [le understood that the young men of Belfast were told that if they did not purchase land on Lot 64, thet people would be up from Newfuundiand in the spring to settie it; but he boped that the Belfasters knew better than to pur- chase lund jor the sake of a vote, With reapect to the para- graph in the Royal Gazette, about the award Act being fa- torably received ut home, he said the members of the Gos vernment had endeavored to explain it away os well as they could, by saying that they never saw it. But it first appears ed in the Islander—and it was well known that every mem. ber of the Government saw that paper—so they ought te have immediately corrected it, if it contained false statements Besides this he held shat every official was responsible to the

‘his work by the 10th of July att and he qaoted the fact that | fox the four or five months which would elapse befere it be- | Government for hie acts, and if the Queea's Priuter had

published an incorrect statement, he ought to be called to account. Qne hoo. member bad remarked that if the Award Bill bad rot been sent home, the Commission wou'd not have been appointed. It this were true, then the Commission was obtained under false pretences, and it appeared as if the Go- verument were disposed to carry out this deception with the people. It had been objected aguinst the petitions that a nunber of the signatures had been written by the same band, Several of the petitions had been signed at public meetings, and as all people were not blessed with » good education, teachers had sometimes been kind enough to put down the With respect to the resolution of the hon. member from Tryon, that His Excellency should be request- ed to use bis influence with the proprietors to prevent dise traints for rent, he (Mr. Coles) would remark that he andere stood His Excelleney had done so; bat without any beneff- ciai resu't, as he had no power in the ease, In regard te the “ Whereas” of the resolution, he believed not a member cf the Houre could safely vote for it, Ie had introduced & similiar resolution on one occasion, in amendment to a para: graph in the address in answer io the Governor's specch, but it was repudiated.

Hon, Mr. M‘AULAY eaid ho was sick and tired of this subject. He had now for about the 16h time listened to the boo. leader of the Oppositiun coming over the same mat. ter. One reason why he (Mr. M+Aulay) would not suppert the resolution of the hon. member ho had just eat down, Was because it contemplated legislation on a matter that bad passed into arbitrators’ hands. The house had no right to interfere ia what had been referred to others. The settle. ment Of the disputes between landlords and tenants had been entrusted to three competent persons, and no further legia- iation ehould be bad ou the question until their award was

given. He would support the amendment befure the Com- mittee,

_ Hen. the SPEAKER said there had deen a grest deal of discussion on this subject, and certainly it would be better if hon. members would keep to the point under consideration, How the petitions were got up was not for him tosay. He eaw one signe! by a number of his constituents, and to read it, a person would thiuk that the proprietor had been pounc- ing down upon them; but he learned from that geotleman that he reccived one year's rent from al! his tenants, exceps two persons, and that he did not intend to distrain upta them until next year. This being the ease, be (the Speaker) see what reason the people there had to petition for He thought a number of them who had

© signed the petition were under the impression that what was

intended was something like that proposed in the resolution ) He saw some of his constituents before he came to this House, and he thought that if they

had wisbed anything of the kind mentioned in the petitions

they would have informed him. He would support the

amendment, ss it met his views, and he thought it would accomplish what was desired, as ia his opinion none of the proprietors would neglect the request.
