Hon. Mr. Coes was rather astonished at the question. He was*not bound to fifteen years purchase ; and as to the question of the Loan, it never was intended to draw the whole amount at once, but aa it was wanted ; like they did in the neighboring colonics, where monies were advanced upon the guran- tees of the lmperial Parliament.—He believed that ifthe Tenantry could not procure their lands at less than fifteen years purchyeo, many of them owing large arrears of rent, the Award would make no improvement in their position. Hon. Mr. Loneworrm, believed it waa rather unpolitic to enter inte the difficulties of the Land Question, which many Govern- ments had attempted ta solve. The Arbi- tration Question was suggested by a former Colonial Secretary, the it Honorable Sir Edwaad Bulwer Lytton, who pronounced it the only feasible plan, It was not ne- cessary now to go into the question. When the Commissioners had been fairly appointed and His Grace the Duke of Newcastle should have taken a broader view of the matter than he appeared to have done, and treated the question as one of equity rather than law. ‘The three Commissioners were appoint- ed to propound an equitable scheme for tho redress of grievances complained of, bat it was not within the range or power of three men to go through the Island and fix the price on Jands in various parts. The Award would berendered nugatory by the passing of the pene amendment.
