What are the efrcemstaaeea under which the recent act was ietrodseedl After the rebellion of 1837 and 1838 a bill was introduced in Upper Canada, giving compensation for losses caused by the rebels. to a subsequent 11.811100 another act was intrndneed to amend the former act; and when Lord Sydenham was Governor of the United Province, ao act passed for the purpos. of giving compensation to a cer- tain amount to persons who Rad suffered losses during the rebellion. In some parts of these sets it was provided that the losses to be compensated should be only lopes caused by the rebels. The persons who were to receive such indemnity were not, as the right hon. gentleman would have us now suppose, persons strictly definfd as having no part in the rebellion; the were only persons, inhabitants of Upper Canada. When these compensation acts bad passed (omitting all diecuasion on what 1 think was a very futile objection. taken in Canada, that the indemnity was charged upon carr rain tavern licences, and other sources of revenue, and not on the general consolidat- ed revenue of the Province), it'was obvious that the courier taken, of voting a conaide- table sum, and of baring paid a considerable sum, for rebellion looses in Upper Caned., would raise the question whether or no any such losses should be compensated in Lower Canada, the other part of the United Province. After these acts with regard to Upper Canada had been passed, without any notice having been taken in Parliament with respect to them—the only objection that I made to one of them being that there was a claim upon the imperial funds, and not upon the local fends,—t'ue considere- tine arose what would be done with regard to the further claims which it rap obvious would be raised. What i aro going to rote from is a despatch from Lord 8taaley, dated the 8th of May, 1844. Lord Stanley '.aye,—"1 find that in Upper Canada an act was panned with the intention of providing indemnification, by the means of debenture., fur a certain number of persons who had sustained losses by the rebellion, but which act, if I am rightly informed, never went into operation. it has betYi'Suggestsd to me that if the claims from both sections of the province were submitted io one applica- tion to the Homes of Assembly, they might receive favorable consideration, and be com- pensated by debentures." Therefore, as fir s■ regard. claims for compensation front the Lower Province, the ■uggestio• appears to -have been made in these general tertps by Lord Stanley when Secretary of State, and to have gone from him to Sir C. Met- calfe, then Governor of Canada. (Hear, hoar.) Alter this we find that cotntois- eionere were appointed 10 ascertain what were the c'lirns which might be made in Lower Canada. The right lion, gentleman has quoted certain instructions given to the commissioners of inquiry who were to ascertain these claims. I find, as be quoted, that on the 12th of December, 1846, the administrator of the Goveroment, hav- ing appointed certain persons to be com- missioners of inquiry, said to them—" You will, in the ferformanee of the duties de- volving upon yon, under the present corn - mention, carefully classify the cases of those who may have joined in the said rebellion, or may have been aiding and abetting there- in, from the case. of those who did not, stating particularly, but .cccioclly, the nature of the loss sustained in each case. its amount and character. and, no far as possible, its canoe." The cnmmirsioiere enquired through their secretary what were the powers conferred sin the commission to establish the claudication required by the instructions, and they were told, on the 27th of February, 1848.—" Io making out the claeoificstion called for by your inatree- uons of the 12th of December *tot is not his Exeelleney's intention that you should haguidcd by any other description of evi- dence than that furnished by the sentences of the soars of law." Now, the right bon. gentleman tries to get rid of tbat answer by saying that no doubt there bad been a change in the opiris of the councils; that, whatever Lord Metealfe had thought and done, with that spirit of firmness and loyal- ty which distinguished bim, the Govern- ment then existing in Canada had departed from his ictenuons.
