Bar ofthe qanlslian House of Oommons,
it may be ot interest to cite , here the
prrticularsol .a father interesting ease
which occupied the attention of the House
of Assembly of the Island of Saint John
(ns this Province was at that time called)
inthe year i1’_iilii.
The particulars of the ease are out in
the nnieiai record which _nas tiis rniiewins

Regis Georgii Ill
,Sixth Session of
Sixth General Assembly
Charlottetown, Island of St John.
1795. _
This document is in the possession oi
Hon. L. 0. Owen of Charlottetown.
through whose courtesy The Guardian is
enahledto give the particulars of the
case to its readers.
Certain members of the House were in
that year more or less exercised over thc
reported utterances of n certain Captain
Macdonald, of Trnoadie, who it seems did
not hold them in sulllcient awe' ‘Pres u
inably the representatives ol the people
then,asnow,;were not deficient in n_
sense of their own importance, but the
valiant captain appears not to have been
in the least inspired by a similar senti-
innnr. Thevgggggigltoyevcr, well told in
the Journal, _in eihct ‘ls follows:-
Ii. had been liothlnunicuted to the’
liouse that an accusation made by John
Macdubald, Esquire, Captain on the
iinif pay of his Mnjestys 2nd Battalion ot
the late 84th Regiment ol Foot, shows.
hlmlto be a party patronizlng levelling
principles of the most darursrous tendency
which have been fostered and encouraged
lor some time past. The House, conceiving
it their- duty to enquire into the matter to
suppress the-Propogation of such princi
pies, asked His Ereellcney ii anything
had appeared to justify the accusation,"
and what proceedings, it any had been
taken.
In reply to this enquiry the Sergeant
at arms of the House, was sent to
Trausdie to ‘bring the said Captain
Macdonald into Charlottetown and there

'.i‘heSergeant went. But he . did not
bring back the truculenl: captain.
-He brought back,~however, an interest-'
ing story of his journey to. Traoeille, and
of his meeting Captain Macdonald, whom
be met riding on his estate. This story
the House in solemn council listened to
from the lips of the Sergeant at Arms.
The Captain, who really occupied in
Traoadie the position of a Highland ohlei,
being owner of the township, claiming n
sort of allegiance from the Scotch settlers
been instrumental in bringing out from
the Highlands not mnny ,years before,
stopped thc Sergeant when he encounter
ed him on his land and demanded his
business. This the oilielal stated, and the
indignation of the chieftaln knew no
bounds. According to the story told the
House by the Sergeant, Captain
Macdonald gave him a terrible scolding;
told him he held him and the members of
the House in contempt, and laughed at
their demand for his appearance. He
deiled them to their feces, and dared
them to interfere with him. Further, he
was not going to be dictated to hy them
and had a very good mind to lock up
their messenger in the cellar of his house
at Tracadle, and set some of his Highland-
ers`to guard him. All this was faithfully'
reported to the House and the fncte are
entered on tho journal.
Well, the question new was, what was
tobe done. The members were perturb-
ed. Their dignity was ruiiied. Were the
representatives of the Government of
King George III, in His Mr\iesty's loyal
colony of the Island of Saint John to
submit to the indignlty which it was
plain to see Captain Macdonald took a
delight in insisting. Ther-n, was consulta-
tion, und threatening, and talk of sending
the Sergeant once more to Tracadic.
But the Sergeant was not anxious to go.
He had seen some of the brawny men ol
Traoadle who formed the Captaln's body
guard.
The upshot was that the members com
promised the matter and saved their
dignity by passipg a resolution. It is
about all that can be done in -a ease of this
kind. otherwise cvcn at thc present day
thcrc would be more people haled b°f0I`6
the Bar of the House than we wot of
especially members oi the journalistic
profession.
The resolution was to the effect that the
said Captain liiiacdonalil was a vc-ry lsr

ment~for his treatment of the members
presumably-but that “the said Captain
Macdonald bein|z_ ol' a turbulent nature
the bringing ofbiin belorc the Bar of the
House, instead of being a punishment
would be gratifying to him, and might
tend to raise him. Therefore this House
dispenses with his attendance as had
been required."
And so ended the impeachment of
Captain Macdonald of Traendle.

after, and as they were approaching the
land where they expected to make 'their
event of landing. On the 7th. of May
there was a meeting and a resolution was
passed to the eilcct that doors and
windows should be made from the lum-
ber that had been taken in the brig for
that purpose. A wheelbarrow had
already been completed and some were
set to work to make harness, etc., each
man doing what his trade fitted him for.
On the ilth. there was some argument
regarding tobacco, which resulted in the
remaining stock being equally divided so
-that each man might do what he liked
with his share. On the 12th. they had
liecn six months out from Charlottetown.
From this on the days passed with very
little of importance to relate. On the
lith. Juno some of the company were not
very well, and Mr. \Vhitc was suffering
severely from dysentery. ‘
The entry in thejour-nal of May 17 is
worth quoting; "Monday. This morn-
lnga ship liove in sight of us right astern.
and she came within live or six miles of
us, when the wind died away, and after
dinner we get out one of the boats to
scrape the side of thc ship; but some-'ef
the company wished to goon board of tho,
shlp,tc seelf they could not 'get some
inesh meat‘for Mr. White as heis very,
i
after stnylniz on board for about tnree
hours they came back. They said it was
fa ship from Glasgow, Scotland called
the Commodore, Captain Brndioot, 75 days
from I’ii.cairn's Island, and had 10
passengers from New Zealand, bound for
California. They treated them with every
kindness, and killed a sheep for the nuke
of giving them a quarter; they also gave
them somctea and coffee and preserved
soup and different other things. They
had a doctor a passenger with them, and
` the cn ptain said that they would stay by
us till tomorrow, and the doctor snld that
he would some on board and see Mr.
White." ,
On the following day the doctor came on
on board and treated Mr. White. Three
days afterwards, on the 2lst,.tlie patient
` died vt hii h, says Mr. Love "cast a 'gloom
over the whole ship. He Bald nothing
about home, nut said that he was hcppy‘
and that the Lord had blotted outall his `
sins. At half-past six o'clook his body
was committed to the deep. Mr. George
, Moore read the burial sei-vicc over his
body." i'I‘his Mr. White was a son of
Mr. White of White's Point, North River
and a brother of Clement \Vhite now at
i the Point and of James White).
Thence forward the ship continued on
her way. On The 28th heavy weather
was encountered: “it blew half
a gale all night and at 4 o’clock I got np.
She was then going 8 knots and had been
nil night. We carried away our jib it
went all to pieces. Ata quarter to 9 a.
ni., the word was given ‘Land ahead-
‘which was a cluster of rocks about 25
miles from the harbor. The weather
being thick we could not see the Qlnnd,
but we saw thousands of ducks,porpoiaea,
and seals, and plenty oi other birds.
About-4 p. m., we made the harbor, the
log clearing up, and the pilot hniied us,
and we asked him what the charge would
bc, and he said it would be H4 per foot.
We said we would not take him, and we
fan right ln. There are about four or five
‘hundred ships in the place, and the town
_is situated on the sides oi' high mountains. |
The omcers of the port soon came on
heard, and we went on shore at once but
*sew no one that we knew. The times are
,not so good as they were some time ago.”
Here in San Francisco the party
-remained for some time. On the 20th
'Julya number left for Sacramento in a
i
low. So the boat went on board, and"
July 31. “This day hired teams to talre
us to Washington, and at 7. p.m. we
started with two teams of six oxen each.
We paid fre||rhtQ0li0, which is twenty
cents per pound. After travelling
one and n half miles we came to the
American River, which we bud to cross by
a scow. After crossing we went a. short
distance and camped for the night under a
large oak tree"
August 1. “At2 p. m., we started for
the gold dlgglngs and went fifteen miles
and put up for the night and lay on the
open plain where the wild cattle came in
great numbers."
On August 10th, the party arrived at
the gold diggings and the following days
were spent prospecting, and endeavorlng
to digs fortune out of the ground. But
they met with little success, and became
discouraged. On the lilth. of August Mr.
Love wrote “we went to work again on
our claim and we worked hard all day,
but made little or nothing, so we cams to
the conclusion to give it up at once and
lose what we paid for lt."
Butsome of the others had varying
luck and all seem to have concluded to try
'the digging a little longer. But: what
they earned did‘n`ot recompense them for
thoir toll,and some of them get chair, and
otlers' out of patience. On_the l2t_lr._ of
seiitsmbsr my wins to wsi-inane worr-
edtor ‘two hours, when a eisputrrsrose
about some trifle and we concluded to
separate."
~So the company was dissolved,i but
hopelwas not yet dead in the breast' of
Mr. Love and a few of his companions.
They determined to try again, and for 'a
while better luck attended their ia-Ecru,
The diary relates:-“Scpt. 17. 'Mode one

But on Oct. 10th.- these who remlillad
cameto .the conclusion that they were
not making enough to pay them, and
they started for Sacramento.
