iin, Mr. Wiuenan presented a petition, in addition to one already referred to the committce of supply, praying a grant to Mrs. Cullen, widow of a former Cierk of the House, and Secretary of the Central Board of Health. He read the last petition as part of his speech, and stated that it was a speci- fiz claim ‘for services rendered to the Board for a period of sixteen years, daring which the deceased, Mr. Cullen, had

He did not mean to speak disparagingly of Mr. Culien ; on the contrary, he was one of the most talented men he had ever known.

Mr. Gooren spoke highly of the talents of Mr. Callen, _ mentioned the services he had rendered to the House from his knowledge of the proper modes of proceedings. . Hor. Mr. Warnan thought that the Hon. Mr. Mooney’s | argument, that Mr. Cullen ‘had vo claim because he had not | mentioned it to him, had arisen from ignorance of the fact that J1:. Cullen was probably not quite so fond of talking of himself as that hon. member. (Laughier.) As their ac-

quaintance was but for one Session, it is probable that, the |

hon, member was not so intimately acquainted with Mr. Cullen as he might desire to be. The Beard of Health may probably have deferred paying Mr. Cullen.

Mr. McIwrostt thought that attention should be paid to. the petition on the seore of humanity. It scexed that there was a regalar appointment of Mr. Oullen as Secretary, at a) fixed salary, and there certainly was no proof that it had | been paid.

Hon. Mr. Patwer would support -the petition, although | Mr. Cullen had not made him his confidant. The deceased had stated, in his presence, that he had claims on the Board of Health. He had beeu a member of that Board when Mr, Ouilen was Secretary; that gentleman had devoted iyuch of his time to the Board, attended meetings, recorded procecd- ings, &s, He may have had good grounds for not prelerring his claims. Nothing appears to shew that he had abandoned them. He agreed that Mr. Cullen had rendered great ser- vices to that House and the country. LHe had been Clerk, Deputy Clerk, and Reporter to the House, and the petition of his widow should not be slighted. The Board of Health would have paid him, but had not funds, and probably the

the debate, and his speech was a candid and straight-forward expression of dissent to the principle of escheat. There weye only two of the majority who supported Mr. Cooper’s resolu- tion, viz: Messrs. Melotosh and Laird. Mr. Whelan, who did not rise tospeak until the Committee appeared to be near closing its proceedings, urged the inutility of reviving the agitation of escheat, when it was vain to hope, from the re- peated declarations of Her Majesty’s Government on this subject, fur the Imperial sanction to such a measure—and alluded to the coufusion that would inevitably ensue, if an attempt were made to escheat the lands that were alleged to be forfeited to the Crown. ~He concluded by proposiag the following resolution in amendment to Mr. Cooper's :—

“ Whereas by various despatches from successive Secretaries of State for the Colonies, it has been shown to be the fixed and unalterable deter- mination of Jler Majesty’s Government to abstain from any investigation into the conJitionset the origiaal Grants of Townsbip Lands in this Is- land, Her Majesty’s Government having stated that such conditions were fulfilled as far as practicable—and whereas to agitate the question of Escheat, which iz almost universally deemed to be a necessary forerunner to the commeneement of the investigation referred to, would lead to un- settle the minds of the tenautry of this Colony, without producing the least beneficial result, owing to the positive refusal of Her Majesty’s Government to sanction the establishment of any such Court of Es- cleat—and whereas tuis Coramittee have every reason to believe that the great majority of the population of this Island are satisfied with the Law passed in. 1853, for the purpose of purchasing the iaterest of Pro- prietors in the Township Lands in this Island, as the easiest and most eTectual mode of settling the long vexed question between landlord and ‘tenaut, and that no such extreme measure us an Escheat is now expected |by the majority of the population. Resolved therefore, That it is in- expedient and unnecessary to appeal again to the Imperial authorities | fur their sanction on behalf of a measure so long agitated and so firmly | rejected by Her Majesty’s Government.”
