of Lord Seaton had already been presented to
parliament. There one despatch which
was generally favourable to the union, but sta

bill now before the house. The opinion of Sir
G.. Arthur was likewise stated in the papers al

tons That principle was warranted by tn,
opinion Of the judge of this country. But thu
specific distribution proposed by the Legislature
of Canada embraced the Roman Catholics, t,
whom the English judge did not consider Thu
