THE CANADIAN TELEGRAPH.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT
ON THE MARINE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BILL
THE NEWFOUNDLAND MONOPOLY.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. %, 1875.
In the Committee on Railways, Can ais and Tele-
graphs, the DILL on the Marine Electric Telegraph
came up for consideration. The clauses were
passed TO the fourteenth, which Affects the exist.
1ng companies Lord William Hay, rs the Director
OF the Anglo American, addressed the committee
atsOme length. He explained how seriously the pro.
posed legislation would affect their interests and
maintained that the company had legal, moral
and equitable right to land their cables on Nova
Scotia.
Mr.. Mckenzie said that Newfoundland mo-
nop0ly gave the company no right to extend its
cable to Cape Breton. Privileges that were con.
ferred upon an original company did not apply
to more than one-twentieth part OF the present
capital OF FL 00o 900 OF the company The 1000 COO
was the aggregate capital Of combined
company who had no CAIN or interest in the
monopoly. The fact was that the company could
only be considered as squatters when they had no
legal or equitable claim over any part OF the
course, except IN Prince Edward Island. He con-
tended tOo that no mere prescriptlve right could
powers exercised Dy the government the de-
spatch Of tue Colonial Secretary OF the 18TH OF
January. 1885, stated the reasons for disallowing
the act giving the company monopoly in Nova
Scotia to be because Her Majesty's government
considered II highly nexpedlent, both for the in.
terestS OF the Province and the Empire to grant
such exclusive privileges. The British govern.
nsnt, therefore. held the same views In regard to
the monopoly as dld the Dominion government.
AS to the legal rights OF the company, none existed.
mere agreement with the Nova Scotia Tele-
graph Company did not entitle them to mo-
nOpOly OF Landing cables in Nova Scotia. All that
the government asked IN the bill was 10 put
END TO monopoly OF twenty years, caused by the
act OF another colony. Tue real point Of conten-
ton was this-that because the company had
monopoly for twenty years, q monopoly now ter
minaDlc II the Nova Scotia government wished 1t,
they, therefore. should be allowed to keep 1t. In
other words were the company to be allO wed to
retain their monopoly wnen they had received no
legislative sanctiOn? II the company objected
strongly 10 the proviso to the clause It might be
struck out; bur 1t was inserted TO protect them.
Alter protracted discussion the question as to
the existence OF legal rights was referred TO
subcommittee consis Ting OF Sir John Macdonald
and Messrs. Blake MOusseau, Moss and Fournler.
The committee then adjourned.
