Now, sir, will you please to understand that my land is hounded by the river according to Crown Grant, which according to law makes half of the channel of tho river my property, and gives me a right to crrcct any work on my own property that will not have the effect of causing any injury to the property of others ; but notwithstanding my undoubted legal and moral right to do wliatl have done, 1 have boon informed by Messrs Inglcy and son that the Provincial Government have instructed them to remove my work off my own property, and that the Government will pay them for doing so, whether in accordance with law or not, and also protect them against any action that I may taka in the matter. ■ If their statements be true I ahall he forced by tho Government to spend my means in law expenses against my irresponsable neighbour whose law expences and damages would bo paid for out of tho Treasury of our almost insolvent Province, and it also appears, accord ing to Mr Ingley’s account, that tho threatened action of the Government is partly caused by the influence of Dr Spratt, exercised since the late mooting hold at Grcytown. Why should my property be injured by the Government for tho sake of saving a few pounds extra to the public ? Is it right, is it just, is it honest to attempt tho saving of a few extra pounds to tho public at my expenceP 1 offered to tho Government some time ago to allow them to cut a channel for tho river through my land, on condition that they would first agree to pay me the value of it, but they declined to agree to anything before tho damage would be done, but I cannot see my I way to sit down quietly and allow them or Mr Inglcy to needlessly wash away my land, and thou have to go to law to recover what damages I can from Mr Ingley or the Govern ment, if I can prove the liability of the latter, which they may ho inclined to repudiate.
