The select committee To which was referred a
bill entitled, . An Act To amend and consolidate
the law relating TO commissioners of private ways
Sud water rights, respectfully report as follows:
The bill seems to have been drawn with care
and the effect If it becomes law will be to simplify
and render less expensive the proceedings relative
10 WAYS and water rights.
4 bill similar to this passed the Legislative As
Sebly az It's last session, but failed receive the
Royal assent The probably cause of objection
has been removed.
II NAlS UlAA pCColuSS law IL VIII 40 away WITH
some OF the uncertainty at present existing regard
ing decisions OF the commissioners There can be
no doubt that all such decisions should respect
ancient rights. bat At present under the wording
Of the law-thAt such decisions shall be Just and
Observation-Disclosures sometimes undertake
to adjust questions arising between owners of
rights of way water in such way as seems
equitable, but without regard to questions of an
Gent right. These decisions are always oyerruled
by the Appellate Court, but the necessity of going
TO an upper Court involves an expense which
ought not 10 be laid upon poor suitors. The pre-
sent bill does away with the preadventure, by
directing that decisions shall respect ancient
rights.
