THE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE OF LOWER
CANADA.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, JAN. 12, 1822.
RESOLVED, That the application of any sum or sums of
money already levied, or which hereafter may be levied on his
Majesty's subjects of this Province, otherwise than such appli-
cation is or may be directed to be made by the express provi-
sion of law, is a breach of the privileges of this House, and sub-
versive of the Government of this Province as established by
law.

That this House will hold personally responsible his Ma-
jesty's Receiver-General of this Province, and every other person
or persons concerned, for all monies levied on his Majesty's
Subjects in this Province, which may have legally come into
his or their hands, and been paid over by him or them under
any authority whatsoever, unless such payments be, or should
be authorised by an express provision of Law.
That it is expedient to grant an Act of indemnity for all
expenditures of public monies made by and under the au-
thority of his Majesty's Executive Government in this Pro-
vince, for and during the years 1819 and 1821, to the extent of
the sums voted by this House for the expenditure of the said
years respectively.
That the sum of money which this Province was liable to
contribute towards the payment of interestlon Army bills' under
the Provincial statute 52 George 111. intituled, " An Act to
facilitate the circulation of Army tills," at the rate £15,000
per annum, has been paid and discharged by this Province up
to the 7th December, 1815, the day on which the interest on
the said Bills ceased and determined, in virtue of the Procla-
mation of his Excellency the Administrator of the Government,
issued for calling in the said Army bills, in pursuance of and
agreeably to the provisions of the said statute
That this Province is notindebted in the sum of 25,9171. 125.4 d.
nor in any other sum of money whatever for arrears of interest
on Army bills.
That the sums granted and appropriated for any special aer-
%ice should be applied by the executive power only to defray
expences of that service, and that the application of any sur-
plus of funds to uses for which they were not appropriated, is
a misapplication of the public money, a daring breach of pub-
lic trust, a violation of the rights and privileges of this House,
and subversive of the Government of' this Province as esta-
blished by law.
That it is expedient to grant an act of indemnity for the dis-
bursements made and incurred by the Executive Government
of this Province, for and during the year 1820, not exceeding
the sum of money voted by this House for the expenses of the
year 1819.

That the acts of indemnity which this Committee is of opi-
nion should be granted, shall not form nor be drawn into pre-
cedent for the future. _

That the trade and resources of this Province are in their na-
ture extremely variable, and are moreover liable to undergo
changes, limitations, and restrictions, by virtue of Acts of the
Imperial Parliament, and independently of the will of the peo-
ple of this Province, and that in this respect there is no parity
between the Mother Country and this Province.
That the amount of the expenses of his Majesty's Civil Go-
vernment in this Province, is in its nature variable and liable
to be augmented and diminished from time to time, according
to the exigencies of the case and the charges which the infancy
of this Province and the instability of its resources and of its
trade render daily necessary, and that in this respect there is
no parity between this Province and the Mother Country.
That the Division of the Legislative, the Executive and
Judical powers, the independence of the Judges, and the ac-
countableness of the Officers of the Government, are essential
attributes of the British Constitution, have hitherto been and
still are wanting in this Province, and that in all these res-
pects there is no parity between the Mother Country and this
Province.

That the expenses of the Civil Government of this Province
amount nearly to the whole of the public expense of this Pro-
vince, and that in this respect there is no parity between the
Mother Country and this Province.
That the reasons which have induced the Parliament of Eng.
land to provide, during the King's life, for the expenses of
his Majesty's Household and Civil List, and for the ex.
penses necessary to support the honour and dignity of the
Crown, do not exist in this Province, and that in this respect
there is no parity between the Mother Country and this Province.
That in the present situation of this Province, the permanent
appropriation of the sums necessary to defray the expenses of
his Majesty's Civil Government in this Province, above the
permanent Revenue already appropriated for that purpose,
would, on the part of this House, be a formal abandonment of
one of the most ancient and principal privileges of the Colonial
Assemblies, of the weight which this House ought to have in
the Legislature of this Provinee, and of the rights and pri-
vileges of the people of this Province.
That in the situation in which this Province is, this House
only, can and ought to provide for the expenses of his Majesty's
Civil Government annually, and not otherwise,
That, according to the offer of the Assembly of this Pro-
vince, made in the year 1810, and accepted by his Majesty in
the year 1818, and to the terms of the Speeches of the Gover.
nors of this Province at the opening of the Sessions of the Pro-
vincial Legislature, in the years 1818 and 1819, the sums ne-
cessary for the support of his Majesty's Civil Government in
this Province ought to be voted and appropriated annually,
and not otherwise. _ _

That this House is ready to do all that may depend on them
to provide annually for the necessary expences of the Civil Go-
vernment of this Province, when thereunto constitutionally
required.
That an humble Address be presented to the King's Most
Excellent Majesty, most respectfully expressing to his Majesty
the reasons which prevent this House from providing, in a per-
manent manner, during his Majesty's life, for the expences of
his Majesty's Civil Government in this Province, and the
earnest regret felt by this House at their inability to conform in
this respect to. his Majesty's desire, and to assure his Majesty
of the invariable disposition of this House to provide annually
for the aforesaid expences, as far as the exigencies of the case,
and the means of this Province, permit.
