This, we belicve, illustrates the point we have alluded to, and makes jt appear evi- dent that the Goverument would not be justified in waiting any jonger than they did. Indeed, it appears to us that the Government shaul‘] have given not a day longer than one week to complete the securities. as no contractor had a right to tender until he had first provided his secu- rities In fact, the negligenge of any con- tractor to provide good security before he sent in his tender bears upon its very face either ignorance of the requirements of the lame at present. We now come to the Correspondence. Messrs. T. & C. Walkers tender, for the sum of £2 69). ste.. being the lowest, was accepted. The condivens relative to the work within the specified time, were as follows: - “That the contractor before signing the coutract should deposit in a Bank, approv- ed af, to the credit of the Government, cash consols, or the bonds of the Domiyion of Uanada, or af Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick. representing the sum of £100 - event of any breach of the contrac.. be con sidered as liquidated and ascertained damages, and not in the nature of 4 penal- ty, and might be applied by the Commis- sioners towards the construction and com- pletion vf the roud.
