The lessor of the . ‘ ' tiﬁ' claimed title to a certain leasehold farm in posses- ». of the defendants, which he purchased at Sheriff’s sale, der an execution, issued against the lessee, Alexander 'ngwe‘ll, the elder, since deceased. The defendant at- ' mpted to show, that the lessee had, by conveyances prior 2- the Sheriff 8 Sale, been divested of his interest in the 77 . m; but entirely failed in doing so. The jury returned " in their room with a verdict for the defendant, which the ‘ ourt, conceiving they had misunderstood the evidence and 11'" its charge given to them, recommended them to i‘econSideVr ‘ fore recorded, as the legal title was clearly proved in the ‘n the defendants, wliereon to

The defendant Wroved a conveyance of the estate in question, by sale and : eed immediately from said Mr. Wessels, made and execu- aed in London in the year 1832.

To THE EDITOR or THE COLorpAL HERALD.

Sir; At a time when so many of your readers are seized with the troublesome disorder of “Cacography,” perhaps (from the peculiar'relation in which I stand to“ some of the parties brought upon the carpet, and my intimate acquaintance with their character and habits,) I also may be pardoned for in- dulging a little the same wayward humour. .The only part of'your correspondents’ lucubrations to which I mean to advert, is the postscript annexed to the unanswei'able letter of PLAIN COMMON SENSE, touching the memorable Wood Island expedition, and the explanatory letter which that Postscript called forth from 'the Honorable JOHN MYRIE HOLL ; and 1 would take the liberty of remarking, in the outset, that the naked facts of the case, divested of the orien- tal style and classic imagery in which they are so well clothed by PLAIN COMMoN SENSE, are substantially such as he has described them; for the very unusual appearance of three or four gentlemen travellers, incogn, at the humble dwelling of honest James Munn—the never-beforc-heard sound of warlike instruments of music, in the quiet and remote settlement of the lVood Islands, in (if I mistake not) the dark hour of night—the blowing of conchs and the gathering of the clans (for the simple rustics could not know but some of Pupineau’s tail might have crossed. the straits to take them by surprise)——the precipitate retreat of the sup- posed invaders, and the feu dc joie ﬁred upon the occasion—— are circumstances which cannot be denied; and, indeed, the Whole thing, from ﬁrst to last, was so extremely ludicrous, that I’ll venture to say, the gentlemen concerned themselves, heartily wish, by this time, they had never opened their lips about it, instead of making it a subject of grave representa- tion- to the authorities of the country. And 1 am sure they feel but little obliged to their friend, 0. P. Q. for raking up from its ashes a matter, which all sensible men ho ed had been for ever consigned to the tomb of al? the Capuletsll That Mr. HOLI. andthe other stranger, who had but recently arrived from the very hot-beds of radicalism and chartism in England, and whose minds would be naturally ﬁlled with horror at the proceedings of these lawless combinations, should (by a simple process of the imagination) transform some two or three dozen of women and boys (gathered toge- ther from mere idle curiosity) into a dangerous mob, ken: upon riot and bloodshed, is not all to be wondered at; but that the respected Clergyinan who accompanied them, who might have known the people better, and who might also know, that almost under any circumstances his own very presence would be a sufﬁcient guarantee for hiinselfand his

surprise. But, Sir, I shoqu not at all have noticed the sub- ject, were it not that Mr. HOLL’s letter is calculated to excite much prejudice against’the’ poor people of the.\Vo‘0d Islands in another quarter, (or, rather, I should'say; to strengthen a prejudice which already unfortunately exists,)' for it is very likely that his letter will be made an “article of exportation” of, as'well asMr. Dousn’s. ‘I must, in justice to “Mr. HOLL, entirely acquit him of having any such object in view; still, unquestionably, such is the tendency of his letter. I would particularly refer to the following passage :——“ They evident- ly took us for Sheriff ’5 Ofﬁcers; and suspected that the ob- ject ofour visit was, to distrain for rent; and this they were prepared to resist at the hazard of their lives.”

Now, Sir, that Mr. HOLL actually believed what he wrote, I do not, for a moment, doubt. that his statement is a mere matter of opinion ;and so much did 1 question the truth of Mr. HoLi.’s hypothesis, (albiet, I told as firmly as an man that “discretion is the better part ofvalour,”) that, immediately after the occurrence, I went to the Attorney General, and tendered my services to accom- pany any authorized Oﬂicer to any part ofthe District in Which. he might be, in the least, apprehensive of personal danger, in the legal discharge of his duty—and for‘the truth of this I beg to refer to the honourable gentleman just mentioned. The truth of the matter is, there is no man in the Wood Islands that ever refused to pay his rent, it'he had only the means of doing so. This, no doubt, is a bold assertion, after all the clamour and hubbub that has been made about the business; nevertheless, Imaintain it is true, and if" I am

right.

Reserves (according to their original design) are throwu open to the public; and at the same time to be, year ‘after year, annoyed and trampled upon by hoards of ﬁshermen, fi'om every part of the Island, and from the neighbouring coast of Nova Scotia, who claimed their encroachments as a matter of right—Whom, from their numerical strength, it would be vain to attempt to resist, by force, and against whom, from their migramry character, it would be useless and absurd to bring an action at law. The only objection, then, which the people of the Wood Islands ever oﬁ‘ered to the raymentof rent, was applicable to the Fishery Reserves alone, and this mere'ly amounted to a desire for delay, until it was decided whether these Resorves did really belong to their landlord, or to the public. ” And it is well known, that if there is to be a Fishery Reserve at all; in any part of the Island, the coast of the wood Island Settlement, both from its geographical position, and from its being the great place of resort for the ﬁsh, during the Slight-31‘, Will be among the very ﬁrst localities that will be lected for the purpose, With respect to the question of Escheat—ebe it right or be it wrong—’—the oor people of the Wood Islands never troubled their heads a [it it; but in regard to the Fishery Reseryes, they felt a grievance, which they conceived to be tangmle and palpable to men of plain understanding and ordinary sense of rectitude. _ The only instance which ever came to my knowledge, of what could be called even a shadow of re- sistance to the payment 0 John Macneill (than whom it would be difﬁcult to ﬁnd a quieter or more honest man.)

To nu: Eni'roa or THE COLONIAL HERALD: Sin; It was with much satisfaction that I perused a let- ter in your paper of the 27th ult., signed VIGIL, and had in-‘ ‘ dnlged a hope, from the very clear, strong and convincing manner in which the writer set forth the folly and'sinfulness of‘theatrical amusements, that the temple which has recently been dedicated to the improvement of morals in this community, would have been closed—at least during the present solemn season. But, Sir, on taking up the Gazette of Tuesday last, after havingread over a mournful catalogue of lamentable accidents and deaths, which have recently occurred—particle lai'ly the account of an awfullysudden death ofa poor fellow- creature, which took place at York River, on Monday last-— and just as I had exclaimed, truly, “In the midst oflife we are in death FLT-what was my surprise and regret, on obser- vnig the next piece or' information which immediatelyfollow- ed the latter melancholy statement, with the WOIdS “Ama- teur Theatre,” announcing that another Play was about to be performed during the present week. Surely, Sir, while the public Journals of" the day, both here and elsewhere, teem with accounts ofunfortunate and distressing accidents —-while we are forced to witness the awfully sudden deaths which pro almost every day occurring even in this small community—when we see that the arrows of death are not confined to age, rank or degree—one would think, that the votaries of folly and licentiousness would be induced to desist—at least for a time~froni their vain pursuits, and listen to the voice of God, which so loudly speaks to us in his all—wise dispensations. It'Would' seem, Sir, that the word of God —the Minister of Religion—the testimony ol holy and pious men—were, at the present day,

adapted to the state and condition of rational and intelligent "beings, who are born for eternity. ' Such, Sir, is a melancholy state of things; and it behaves not only each Pastor, but every consistent member ofhis ﬂock, to raise his “0100 against such sinful practices,; and I would earnestly recommend to the Teachers of youth, particularly in our Sunday Schools, to iiistil into the youth- ful mind, the evil consequcnccs attending a life of folly and dissipation, that the tender youths, when they come of age, may be enabled, with the Divine assistance, to renew that solemn vow which was made’f'or them at their Baptism, Viz: that they “should renounce the devil and all his works, “the pumps and ' vanities of this wicked world, and “ all the sinful lusts ofthe ﬂesh.” All attempt to bring up our youth aright, will be fruitless, while parents and guardians continue to sanction with their presence those vain and sinful amusements, which have so fatal a tendency in drawing aside the young and unwary from the paths of wisdom, whose Vways, we are told, “ are ways ofpleasant- ness, and whose paths are peace.” These observations have been made from motives of sincere regard for the well-being of society; I trusT, therefore, that they may be received as such, and have their due weight, llOWBVe!‘ lightly the subject may be treated by some of your readers.
