The Colony planted by Lord,iielidek. was most dis-
advantageously represented, coritrarrtei the fact ;-4..
and the disposition,operating 'on the inimical Com--
piny' was evidently apparent from several letter%
which he obtained; and which were addressed to the
friends of that Company. 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 acensedtend
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.
in 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 grant of a most extensive 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 extepsitf
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 seats
li°
seized 500 bap of provisions. This Petitioner,
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
