Names were mentioned which he-did not collect, and letters read, proving the , assertions stated by the Honourable Menitm-. Lord Selkirk acted under the advice of Sir 6imuel lin milly, Messrs.- Csuite, Scarlett, Holroyd, and Bell ; and when danger threatened the Colony, the Govern merit of - England, or rather the Head of the Colonial Department, afforded the Noble Lord the means of defending the grant which had previously been given him, in some -pieces of ordnance and-200 stand of arms. Lord Selkirk's conduct had been much mis reptosented ; but however some Gentlemen might feel disposed to comment on his conduct, he• still was sure that the sufferings of Mr. Pritchard deserved the best attention or the House. The Honourable Ba ronet was sin prised that these cases had not at once been removtd to this country. If this had not been considered expedient by the parties implicated, why had there not .been a Commission of Oyer and Ter miner issued for Montreal' a town containing. up. wards of fifteen thousand inhabitants. After im mense expense incurred in the transaction, a - Trial by Oyer rand Terminer was granted at York Totten, ..0 plive not possessing a population of more than ;500 -persons, and almost of whom were persons of that description, which should have precluded them from being chosen as arbitrators on such a subject.— On ute occasion during this trial, the Governor of Canada, Sir John Sherborne, had stated, on the ap elication of Lord Selkirk's Advocates for leave to examine the witnerses in the cause, that he was not empowered by the practice cf those Courts to permit the Noble Lord's Counsel to examine witnesses, the privilege being etmfined alone to the Advocates for the Crown. Throughout the whole series of proceed ings, the Noble Lord might truly be said to have been the prosecutor instead of the party acensed t end yet an evidenee, •of whose testimony lie mainly .de. pended (George Campbell), had been Suffered. to evade his recognizance upon a mere certificate of in disposition, which, it was tolerably well known, was, to an artful or interested person, the easiest possible mode of avoiding giving that testimony which it might have beeh his interest not to have afforded for the furtherance of justice. A prosecution, too, had been instituted against one of the attendants of the Noble Lord, who, it had been alleged, had slain a half-coloured Min in die feeble resistance which Lord Selkirk's party had been compelled to make against the . aggression of the North-West Company. The accused had for this offence been-attempted to be tried twice, and on the latter occasion, after ell the inconvenience and expense had been incurred, of bri ng inir„ witnesses from Sandwich (a very remote place) to Montreal and back again, a distance of near 2000 miles. The Judge had adjourned the Court line die. During the examination before the Grand Jury, pre vious to the last indictment being found, the Attor ney-General had insisted upon it as his right, and actually obtained the privilege of sitting with the Grand:Jery "fur:the purpose of examining the wit nesses previons to- the finding of the Grand Jury. Would Such a privilege be conceded to any Crown Lawyer in England ? or was it intended to be ar gued that in this important respect the law of our North American Colonies differed from that of the Mother' Codes?, If so, it was certainly high time it should be altered.—(Hear, hear, hear.)- -Throughout the whole modern history of actions brought by these conflicting Companies, it had WO obviously appeared to be the policy of Government to lend every possible assistance to the cause of the *North-West Company, whilst it appeared anxious for the conviction of all the agents of the Hudson's Uay Company who happened to be accused. The 1,,b1e Lord had been accused of resistance to legal process —an offence he could not attempt to extenuate. i n fact, the spirit of resistance to such a writ as had teen issued by the Chief Justice against his Lordship, might well hive been excited by the very terms of the writ itself, which, itr the most unprecedented man. I : er, had'pointed out in the body of it how his Lc rdii s.lip was to he followed into the distant settlemenik Tee mode of backing the warrant, and the means Uti, be used, with a view to obtain the assistance of the ii:risdktion of Upper Canada, all of which unusual recantions, strongly marked the disposition of the eustiirz authorities to procure the contiction of the Noble'Lord. 'Whatever might have been the extent of alledged resistance to legal process, one thing was ' S _Tarte prejudiced view of the case, had come to a decision which he would pledge himself was in direct contra. diction to the opinion of most well•informed persons on this subject. The Noble Earl had been a hum and, now was the largest Proprietor of Stetk in tile ' Hudson's Bay Company. The consequence was, thii: 7ie.had obtained a gran t of a most extens i ve track o land for the fur trade from the Company, and that the Noble Lord's views, whatever they might have formerly been, had begunto be directed to the pro. hable commercial advantages likely to mult front 'the system he was then about to pursue in this spei.- dilation. The earliest population of these extep sitf acks of land now occupied by the agents of these' Companies in the back settlements, for the purpose' of hunting, were very well known to the colonial settlers planted there by the French, at•the earliest ,period of their occupation of this country. The atro. sales that had been committed had been through the direction of the Noble Earl: he had a letter in his hand, written by hies in 1812, addressed to Mr. Ca. meron, wherein he says, " yen must solemnly kn.. press upon the minds of the Canadians that the land belongs to the Hudson's Bay Company; be particular to prevent their fishing; if they do, seize their nets in the same manner they serve poachers in Eng land." The inhabitants were also warned to quit ,the Settlements within six motuhs—Viear, 'The next winter fresh acts of aggression wene.neso 'Witted ; a Proclamation was iseeed of an nature, when, under pretext thailkeeltreltedt • broken, a body of armed men were seat s li° seized 500 bap of provisions. This Petiti oner, ard, was the very man who had disgracefully suri rendered the post of which he had the command, and ought not to have permitted such an attack ; Ire had arms, and ought to have resisted the-robbers in pro tection of the property. Was it to be wondered after the first seizure, considering the irritated feelings that bad been excited, that murders, arsons, larcenies had been committed. The Honourable Gentleman then entered into a lengthened detail of the events that had taken place, with the view of 'hewing that whenever aggressions had,been comditted, they had been ge nerally the result of the conduct pursued under the direction of Loid Selkirk ; and that which had been termed to be acts of aggressions on the part of the North-West Company, were merely defensive acts to which the inhabitants bad been driven to protect their property, but which had been disingeniously applied so as to give them a different complexion. Whenever acts of hostility appeared on the part of the North-West Company, the Noble Earl had beau the aggressor ; and when he had been personally costa cerned, measures of violence had been carried to an unprecedented extent. When an account had been received of the resi§tance made by the settlers, Lord Selkirk, instead of obtaining assistance from_ Fore . William, went in the capacity of a Magistrate, and seized all persons indiscriminately ; andansong diem* Mr. M'Gilvray, a man equally respectable with his Lordship, and sent them to Canada on charges of mur der. ,That person remained without any bill of indict ment having been preferred against him, and had by the agents of the Noble Earl, (for he could hardly Sup pose that he himself had been guilty of the a been kept in a state of intoxication; until, by var . devices, a fraudulent transfer of his • property had been obtained. That person had since instituted suit against the Noble Earl, and had obtained dr mages to the amount of £3,500. As to the cond. • of the Judges in having released the Canadian, must confess, that unless some documents besides those upon the table could be produced, their . duct appeared to be unaccountable; but when grave charges were brought against any official charactene they ought to have an opportunity eo meet Able. There was one thing to which he must allude,. when the. Attorney-General had been sent out, with dill view of considerable legal business, he had been ete. tained by the North-West Company, but them. he had landed he returned the retaining-fee, and sin - that time he had never been engaged on their behalf. When he had seen that the Chief Justice ap. to try the persons who had been accused, was M Macdonald, who had commanded the attack upon the forts, that the Juries and witnesses were • . interested, when the Noble Earl had seized the poi, pers of the parties at Montreal' and had by briber obtained copies of the private correspondence of nimbi chants and others upon this subject, be thought dui some competent tribunal should be established to investigate these transactions. If Lord Selkirk had a right on the property, for GOD'S sake let him. harm it, if not let it be taken.from him: as yet there bad been eo steps taken to bring the subject to a judicial decision. Upon the whole of the circumstances at wigs. _ Majesty .misters, . it was his. intention to establish a Colony, and he had not , received the least intimation that his inten tion had prodded displeasure in any quarter. But the question was not simply a question between the Hudson's Bay and the North-West Companies ; but whether a Country, equal to England in size, should be permitted to remain in a state of barbarism, ins stead of being colonized, and prepared to reap the, advantages of a civilized condition ? • ' Mr. BENNETT considered the question of 'great importance. It was not whether a system of atrocity 'was adopted by the rival Companies, but whether 'the Ministers of the Crown had conducted the affairs of the Colony as they ought to have done ? The Honourable Gentleman proceeded to review the dif. ferent proceedingt - which had taken place in Canada, and contended that great partiality appeared to'hav* been shown by the Law Officers of the Crown in that Colony. He hoped the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Goulburn) would be able to refute the charges which had been made against these officers. Mr. GOULBURN said, he would not refer to the disputes of the two parties, any further than they seemed to tmplicate the conduct of his Majesty's Go vernment. He would not say which was in the wrong, or enter into the argument whether the fur trade was worth preserving \ at the etpense of so much trouble. The charges against his Majesty's Government must be, eitheetbat they were partial to one party, or did • not use every tneans is their power to prevent the disturbances, or adopt proper measures for putting them down after they had arisen. When Lord Sel kirk first intimated to Government his intention of settling in the interior of America, there• was no communication made by him that such a design, if carried into effect, would at all interfere with the existing. Establishments. Government understood that the. Settlement was to be one of the same nature as that established by him in the islands of the River St, Lawrence. It was perhaps true that if a military'; force were established in the neighbourhood, the evil* they now deplored would have been prevented. It' was the desire of Government to furnish it, and in structions for that end were sent to the Governor- of Canada. In a reply to this communication in 1815, the Governor stated that it would be impossible, un der existing circumstances, to furnish a military force; and this being the case, he took the best means in his power to secure tranquillity, by communicating the instructions he had received to the North West Com pany. The agents of Lord Selkirk himself, in a let ter.to Sir G. Drummond, raid, that the plan of a military force could not be advantageously.adopted. In the year 1816, a sort of civil war broke out be- tween the two parties, but it was some time before the circumstances were known here. The Governor of Canada did evei'y thing in his power to prevent these disturbances. The parties abstained from the use of arms, but their hostility continued in another way. Many of them being Magistrates, they granted: vrarrants against one another, so that no justice could be obtained. To prevent this, the Governor had re course to the only remedy in his power. These Ma gistrates were deprived cif • the commission of the peace, and two Gentlemen were appointed to go intol the country to make inquiry into the cause of these disturbanees. -They set eat an 11118, and by the next year had ermined the •sebject in all its details, as would appear when their reptwewaa before the House t l It was received by Governournt eta/ tit die end of 18111; This was the reason why Governmitiedid not attemptl to apply any remedy. sotinert Before they could at. tempt to legislate with any hope of success, it Wei necessary to have well authenticated inforniatioo The Honottreble - Baronet who Opened 'this debate; said that Government took measures against Lost' .Selkirk first, He would explain that circumstances —ln the yeir • 1817, some dispatches were receives/ from the• Governor of Canada, stating, that eiumb . rant had been issued against Lord Selkirk, whiehlfil resisted, and so far from compliance, even imprisoig the officer who attempted to execute it, though .
