but the conditions not having been complied with, the intention
to grant the charter had ceased. 'the association now sought

Introduction of such a bill, as in that shape it could he fairly

vernment bill, which called forth considerable discussion.

Lord ELLIIN BOROUGH iesisted the bill as unnecessarily severe.
Lord GLENELG adinitted its severity, but contended that it
was unavoidable.

proceeding between the two countries, that separation would be
the more advisJ hle course.

lated himself on haviiig had the support of the sons of those
eminent•lawyers, Mansfield and Ellenborough.

vernment felt hound to maintain the territories of this country,
and that it could not listen to the doctrine of voluntary sepa-
ration. The induenee would be maintained by the protnotion

that it would only be the forerunner of greater difficuities To

be determined on, and after the example of our contest with
America, would only be preparing fur this country another
" fllia i of woes."

rider, to the effect that should the Canadian assembly be dis-
solved, or a new one convened, on the arrival of this act, that
the governor should have power to suspend its operation.
