     REPORT 
     
     Of the Committee appointed by the Com- 
     
    
   
   
    
     mon Gonncil of the City of Oharlottetcwii, 
     
     on the right of persons claiming the Com- 
     
    
   
   
    
     M011- 
     
    
   
   
    
     Your Committee appointed to report upon the 
     
     nature of the claims of Persons holding posses- 
     
     sion of the Common of this City, beg respect- 
     
     fully to submit, that they have searched the Sta- 
     
     tutes and Records of the Island in order that 
     
     they might be able to lay before the Common 
     
     Council full information thereon. 
     
    

    
     It appears to your Committee, the Legisla- 
     
     ture did not at any time yield up the right they 
     
     possessed as guardians and protectors of the 
     
    

    
     ominon of Cliarlottetown. 
     
    

    
     They observe howcler, they exercised their 
     
     authority over it, for in the year 1780, being 
     
     the 20th in the reign oftieorge lll., a Bill was 
     
     added to the Statutes of the Island sanctioning 
     
     the leasin of a certain part of the Common, 
     
     rent free, for the space of ten years. 
     
    

    
     Your Committee are ofopinion, the Legisla- 
     
     ture of that day, were induced to grant per- 
     
     mission to lease the Common, with the precau- 
     
     tionary view against fire, which might arise 
     
     thereon to the Town, as at that early period the 
     
     Common and suburbs were in a wi erncss 
     
     state, being covered with brush-wood and 
     
     forest trees, there cannot be a doubt, but that 
     
     the intention of leasciiig the Common was, that 
     
     this combustible matter should be removed. 
     
    

    
     In this opinion your Committee feel them- 
     
     selves confirmed, as they find the Act f'or 
     
     leasing the Common was repealed in 180'), the 
     
     the 49th year of Goo. Ill. forty years ago, a 
     
     time when the incuiiibrances were removed, 
     
     the desired effect of the act having been accom- 
     
     plished. 
     
    

    
     In searching the Records of the Register 
     
     Ofiice, your Committee find, Lieutenant Unver- 
     
     nor Fanning caused the Common to be laid off 
     
     into thirt -six blocks of land, containing twelve 
     
     acres eac i, which were granted away on certain 
     
     conditions. a copy of the Grant of’ one of these 
     
     Lots, viz., No. 10, is hereunto appended to this 
     
     report and inarkoil A We beg to call the 
     
     attention of the Council to that part of the 
     
     Grant, which points out the locality, under 
     
     the plea of \\'lll\'ll. the present incumbents hold 
     
    

    
     osscssion of the Common. The Grant express- 
     
     y states it to be a Lot in the Royalty of Chur- 
     
     lottetowii. there is no nieiition throughout of 
     
     unyland being granted in the (‘oiiimoii. The 
     
     docuiuentstatcs, the Lt. Governor grants such 
     
     a ieee ofland by authority given by His 
     
     Majesty King George the Third, it carefully 
     
     abstains from any allusion to the Common. 
     
    

    
     The paper in the Schedule, marked 13., has 
     
     been obtained from the Register Office; its 
     
     columns show the Grantees’ names, enumerates 
     
     the time of Registration of the Grants, the 
     
     Lots remaining ungranted &e.. i\"c. it appears 
     
     from this certificate. that the Grantees of Lots 
     
    

    
     os. " ' T. 19. " 2 , 
     
     complied with one of the conditions of the 
     
     Grants, viz. that of Registration within six 
     
     months from the date of the Grant, that the 
     
     follo 'ng Lots were not registered until after 
     
     that eriod viz, 3, 45, 11, 1:3, 13, 16, 24, 27, 
     
     3], and 34, failing to perforiu which condition 
     
     It forfeiture of the grant was the penalty. that 
     
     Lots Nos. 6. 8, 9, 10, 18, 21, 23, 26, 26, 29, 
     
     32, and 35, have never been registered, and 
     
     thatthe dates of Grants of Lots Nos. 10. 18, 
     
     23, 26 and 32 remain blank, and also that 
     
     Lots number 25 and 33 have never been 
     
     granted. 
     
    

    
     It does not appear to your Committee that any 
     
     conditions of the Grants, have been complied

     Common Lots, o. 12, and 13,are advertised to 8°

     Sept. that the Grantees of said Lots have not 
     
     complied with any one of the conditions, under 
     
     which the claimants held possession. Your 
     
     Committee beg further to state, these Lots are 
     
     , 1 'ng open, and have been used as a part of 
     
     ; t 0 Common for some months as a ground for 
     
     rccreation by the Citiscns—with respect to 
     
     these Lots our Committee recommend, prompt 
     
     steps be taken to revent an person or persons 
     
     from oceupyingt eland; t ey further recom- 
     
     mend, as a step towards this detiideratum. 
     
     that the Council, authorise the Mayor, imme- 
     
     diately to issue a notice cautioning all persons 
     
     from tr ‘n in land within the Common of 
     
     this City, wifiicut special licence from his 
     
     Worship the Mayor. Your Committee further 
     
     recommend a notice be issued cautioning all 
     
     room against erecting any buildings, or fix- 
     
     tures of any kind whatsoever upon the Com- 
     
     mon, at the ril of forfeiture o the same, as 
     
     they feel not shed the right of the Town to the 
     
     Common, will sooner or later prevail against 
     
     all ti-ansgressors. 
     
    

    
     Your Committee have obtained from the
