Présentation de l'éditeur
Ma. Srmrcmaz On bchalf ofa number of proprietors of Seigniorics in Lower Canada, I appear belbre you, to represent certain objections which they feel themselves justified in urging, to the further progress of the Bill, which has just been called up before this Honorable House. And I do not say anything extraordinary, When I say that I so appear with a good deal of embarrassment, and even of regret. I am bctore atribunal, certainly of an extraordiuary-certainly also of a very hiffh-character; and I have to contend against strong prepossessions and powerful interests. I have to speak on behalf of clients, few in nunrber, and of extremely small influence in the community; and I feel that I labour under difficulties of a peculiar character as well from the physical impossibility of speaking in both the languages used by Members of this I lonorable I louse, as from other causes. I should be nappy, were I able to do so, to address the House in both languages; but I know tat those Members whose language I do not use, will be capable of understanding me; and I trust they will feel that my failure to address them in their own tongue, proceeds from no disrespect. A nother regret also that I feel on this occasion, is, that I am obliged to stand here alone. The season of the year, and the indrtlerent health of the learned Counsel-greatly my superior-who is associated with me, have prevented him from appearing before you ;and no one more than myself feels how impcssible it rs for me to fill his place. But I have not felt that had a right to dechuc on this account to give my services when required. I have not shrunk from the duty; because, though I feel rn inadequacy, I .I so feel confidence in the fairness of this high tribunal. I befieve that its members will listen patiently, honestly, and impartially, because ef their high position, and in spite of the insigrrifieance

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
