It is superfluous to remark, that in case of his non-
redemption, the proposed scale of annual payments
for thirty years will, of course, redeem the original

2d. The probability of the repayment of the loan;
and the inducements which the Colonies have to
facilitate such repayment

For the purpose of explaining fully to the House
the degree of probability of success which would at-
tend an emigration upon the principles recommended
by your Committee, and the prckbability of repay-
ment by each individual emigrant of his part of the
expense incurred, your Committee beg to call the
particular attention of the House to the following
queries,, which were put to ten of the principal
Coloniil witnesses examined before them, and to
which those witnesses returned separate answers in
writing :

Query I.—Taking the whole range of the North
American Colonies, and reducing them to one com-
mon average, do you think it would be safe to esti-
mate the expense necessary for the satisfactory loca-
tion of an emigrant fu.mily, of a man, woman, and
three inidaren, at less than 60t. per family, such
expense to be incurred after their landing at a colo-
nial port ?
[Note.—This query involves the supposition that the
expence of passage is never to be incurred by Government,
but is, in all cases, to be paid by the parties interested in
the removal of a stiperabuntlant population ; and that the
emigrant's family have been approved of by an Agent ap-
pointed by Government to examine all proposed emigrants
All the expences and circumstances of the passage to be en-
tirely independent of Government 'assistanee or responsi-
bility. No emigrant would be entitled to Government•as-
sistance in the Colonies who had not received a voucher
from a Government Agent at home, that such emigrant and
family were proper subjects for receiving Government as-
sistance.l
Witnesses' Answers—J. Sewell, Esq. Chief Justice of
Lower Canada, thinks it would not be safe to estimate the
expence at less than 601. ; the Venerable Archdeacon
Strachan, D.D., of Upper Canada, thinks 601. necessary ;
W. B. Felton, Esq. of the Legislative Council of Lower
Canada, thinks not has than 60/. necessary; P. Robin-
son, Superintendent, and of the Executive Council, Upper
Canada, thinks 60/. on an average necessary ; Captain
Marshall, a Superintendent of the Military Settlements,
Upper Canada, thinks, on an average for Upper and Lower
Canada, that 601. is necessary ; J. Howe, Esq. Deputy
Postmaster-General of Nova Scotia, thinks the estimate a
fair one; A. C. Buchanan, Esq. merchant, of Lower Ca-
nada, thinks in the near districts that 501. is sufficient ;
B. P. Wagner, Esq. merchant, of Lower Canada, thinks
601. sufficient; Mr. Roswell Mount, Deputy Land Sur-
veyor, Upper Canada, does not think it safe to estimate less
than 601. ; Captain Weatherley, half-pay, Justice of the
Peace for the District of Bathurst, Upper Canada, does not
think it safe to estimate lea than 601.

Query 2.—Do you mainly concur in the necessity
of assistance to the value of 701. furnished to the
emigrant more or less in the following proportions ?
Average Estimato of the Expence of settling a Family,
consisting of One Man, One Woman. and Three Chil-
dren in the British North American Provinces; distin-
guishing the various Items of Expenditure.
