To an Address from the Legislative Assembly to His Excellency the Governor General, bear-ing date the 12th December, 1844, praying for a Statement of the number of Suits broughtin the Court of Chancery since 19th July, 1841, shewing the number of suits actually ad-

judicated upon, the amount of costs taxed, and allowed on each suit, and the amount offees paid on each suit to the Registrar, together with a detailed Statement exhibiting the

aggregate sums received by that Officer, by way of fees and charges on the said suits.

SECRETARY'S OFFICE, By Command,Montreal, 24th March, 1845. a DALY, Secy.

Letter from the Registrar of the Court of Chance-ry to the Provincial Secretary, with two Enclo-sures.

REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, COURT OF CHANCERY,

Toronto, 17th March, 1845.

SIR,--I beg to transmit you herewith, a Statement ofthe number of Suits instituted in the Court of Chan-cery, between the 19th day of July, 1841, and the 12thday of December, 1844, and of the number of Suitsadjudicated upon during the same period ; also a Returnof such costs as have been taxed during the same pe-riod, and the amount of Registrar's Fees during thefirst and last years of that period. The Suits in whichcosts have been taxed do not by any means embracethe whole number of Suits in which proceedings havebeen had during the period referred to, costs being fre-quently settled without taxation, and in the majority ofcases the costs of unsuccessful parties are not taxed.Judging from the amount of Registrar's Fees duringthe two years referred to, I should infer that costs aretaxed only in about one instance out of three or fourin which they are incurred. The aggregate of the Re-gistrar's Fees therefore, as appearing from the taxationof costs, will furnish no information as to the amount ofthe Fees actually derived from his office. The aggregateamount will appear by the Returns of the emolumentsof the office; and for the accuracy of the Returns sinceI have held the office, I can vouch.

In omitting the Return of Registrar's Fees for theperiod between the first and last years, I am awarethat I have not strictly followed the terms of your let-ter, but in explanation, I beg to say that I have beenprevented by illness from making the Return so soon asI otherwise should have done,—that since my recoveryI have devoted to it and to my office, almost more timeand labor than my heath (imperfectly restored) couldwarrant, and I was unwilling to make the further delaywhich would necessarily occur in supplying the partomitted,—every bill of costs requiring to be examinedthroughout, in order to ascertain the amount of Regis-trar's fees contained therein. The Return enclosed ex-hibits the relative proportion between the Registrar's.Fees and the general costs, during, the first and lastyears ; the proportion during the former period beingabout one third larger than during the latter, althoughthe greater portion of the proceedings in the more ex-pensive suits, taxed during the latter period, occurredduring the former. In future the difference will bestill greater. In future also, there can be no doubt thatthe costs in suits in Chancery will be materially dimi-nished.,

I believe the Return of Registrar's Fees, during theomitted period, would furnish no additional information,but, if required, I will prepare such Return with as littledelay as possible.

I have the honor to be, Sir,Your obedient servant,

ca J. G. SPRAGGE,Registrar.

The Honble. D. DALY,

Secretary of the Province,&c. &c. &c.,

First Enclosure.

A STATEMENT of the number of Suits brought inthe Court of Chancery from the 19th day of July, 1841,to the 12th day of December, 1844, shewing the num-ber of Suits actually adjudicated upon—also

'

a Scheduleof costs taxed during the same period, and the amountof Fees paid to the Registrar during the first and alsoduring the last years of the same period, in the suits inwhich costs have been so taxed, exhibiting the aggre-gate sums received by that officer by way of Fees andcharges in the said suits during the said first and lastyears of the same period :

*umber of Suits brought in the Court of Chan-cery, from 19th July, 1841, to 12th De- 463cember, 1844 ...................................................

ber of Suits adjudicated upon during thesame period, .................................................. 155

It should be explained that Suits are frequently dis-posed of in effect, otherwise than by a formal adjudi-cation upon the hearing—the argument of pleas anddemurrers—the granting or refusing of special injunc-tions, both parties being heard—motions to dissolve spe-cial injunction, and some other applications to theCourt where the law and merits of the case are broughtin question, frequently though not necessarily have theeffect of a formal decision, the unsuccessful party notchoosing to risk further proceedings. These are, ofcourse, not embraced in the number above given ofRas adjudicated upon.

It frequently occurs also that a Plaintiff finding afteranswer, and perhaps after evidence gone into, that hiscase cannot be sustained, forbears to proceed, and theSuit is afterwards dismissed for want of prosecution.In-these ways, many Suits are disposed of without a re-gular adjudication.

Appendixhousie the winter resort of a large amount of shipping (J. J. J.)on the lakes. The location of the old piers, as well astheir plan and construction, was so faulty, that a strong 24th March.prejudice has existed in the minds of many against thisHarbour. An examination of the plan of the new pierswill shew that, after the completion of the works nowin progress, this harbour will be free from all the de-fects which have been urged against it with much forceand some justice. 1 am happy to be supported in the &-opinions now advanced by all the experienced masters g 0of vessels whom I have had an opportunity of consult-ing.

Appendix -( J. J. J. ) plan) may be straight throughout, proceeding in a direct

jline from its departure from the Welland to its junction

th Much with the Niagara river. No obstacle whatever is pre-24 .sented, except by the valleys of the creeks which emp-ty themselves into the lake between the mouth of theNiagara and Port Dalhousie, of which the Four andand Ten Mile Creeks can alone be considered formidable, and the expense of crossing even these is notconsiderable, being much less than that of the addition-al lockage and excavation which would be caused bythe attempt to avoid those ravines by a line situatednear the main ridge. The line for nine miles passesthrough that portion of the country denominated theSwamp, generally in the vicinity of the main road, andreaches the Niagara River immediately below FortGeorge, this point being selected as the entrance, forthe reasons formerly assigned by Mr. Roy, " that the" current is too rapid for a safe harbour above, and be-" low it would be exposed to the swells of the lake."

The accompanying Schedule shews the cost of theproposed Canal, and also that part of the Welland si-tuated between No. 12 and Port Dalhousie, includingthe construction of that Harbour. It proves that theexpense of the latter is at least £57,000 less than thatof the former could have been : thus regard for econo-my must have induced the Board of Works, as well asthe Welland Canal Company, to select Port Dalhousieas the entrance, in preference to the mouth of the Nia 7gara ; but there are many more important reasonswhich must have exercised an influence on their deciLsion. The length of the Canal from Port Dalhousie toNo. 12 is seven miles—that of the proposed cut fromthe same point to Niagara is 114,—thus, the increasedlength of the route, and consequently the increased costof transportation and loss of time, as well as the additionalexpense of maintainance, are serious objections. Al-though the Harbour of the Niagara River may possesssome natural advantages, such as great depth of water,sufficient extent and tolerable shelter, it is, nevertheless,very inferior to the new Harbour about to be construc-ted at Port Dalhousie ; its defenceless position on thefrontier, is an insurmountable objection—the entranceto the Canal would, in the event of a war, be exposedto instant destruction from the guns of the American .Fort ; but apart from this, it labours under other seriousdefects, the removal of which is beyond the reach ofart. When there are light winds from the southerlypoints, the rapid current renders the entrance very diffi-cult ; and when the wind is from the northerly pointand, therefore, apparently favorable for the entrance ofvessels, the swell caused by the meeting of the wavesfrom the lake and the current of the river, is attend-ed with great danger. To its exposed situation in theevent of war, and the difficulty of entrance duringthe prevailing summer winds (from the south) must beadded the great danger arising from the floating icelate in the spring,—and the existence of a shifting barat the mouth, which circumscribes the channel so faras to render the egress of vessels both difficult anddangerous when the wind is northerly.

The Harbour at Port Dalhousie will possess almostunrivalled advantages. Accessible at all times, it willhave a depth of twelve feet water at its entrance ; anouter and well sheltered Harbour more than half a milein length, amply sufficient for the accommodation of thetrade, to which must be added the extraordinary ad-vantage of its inner Harbour, two miles long and nearlyhalf a mile wide, sufficiently large to contain all thevessels on both lakes ; completely sheltered by thesurrounding hills, and raised by the first Lock above theinfluence of the lake, so that the water can scarcely beagitated during the most violent storms. The peculiarfacilities for the construction of a graving dock, corn-bitted with the extent and security of this inner Harbour,will, doubtless, at no distant period, render Port Dal-

• coza. Co)

Appended to this Report is an account of a few of ,moothe recent disasters arising from the above mentioneddefects in the Niagara Harbour. If so many accidentshave occurred among the few vessels that visit thisHarbour, and so few among the many that leave and/ 1enter Port Dalhousie, defective as it at present is,must be evident that the advantages of the latter and'the disadvantages of the former have not been exagge-rated in this Report.

Apprehensions are entertained by some, that at novery distant period, the lower lake may become soshallow•as to render all the works at Port Dalhousieuseless. A daily record of the levels kept by the LockTender, since I have had charge of all the old works,and the observations of the same person during fifteenyears, corroborated by those made at Fort Niagara since1815, tend to show that the water of the lake is atleast as high now as it was many years ago, and I havebeen unable to discover evidence to prove that anychange is going on rapidly, or reasons to justify us inproviding for so remote a contingency, long before theprobable occurrence of which all our works will be inruins.

Enough has been said to prove that, even if the se-lection of an entrance to the Welland were still an openquestion, Port Dalhousie should be preferred on accountof the advantages of its Harbour, the shortness of theline, and economy of construction. It therefore seemsneedless at this time to make any remarks on the in-expediency of expending £230,000 on the construc-tion of a lateral cut to Niagara, when a Canal, inevery respect more efficient than that could possibly be,has been already constructed.

I have now furnished information on all the pointsadverted to in the Resolution of the House, though notexactly in the order there prescribed. Having firstmentioned the authority under which the Survey wasmade,-2nd, the cause (as I believe) of its beingmade,-3rd, the information derived from the Survey,and the conclusion following a full examination of therelative advantages and disadvantages of the entrancesat Port Dalhousie and Niagara, and the respectiveroutes from these harbours to the nearest point of theWelland, and in connection with this, have shewn thatthere is no evidence to prove that any change in thelevel of the lake is going on rapidly.

I have the honor to be, Sir,Your obedient servant,
