depend on adjutants, serge.'\nt-majors, and non-connnL'>sioncd officern. .A.f~r long SP.nice

in the militia, I think I can 'enture t-0 remark that, tht force is still more depen1lent on

such subordinate aid.

i\fessing CO'>t the men about 23 cents per diem at two of the posts ; at one, contract

was made at 20 cent.-;. Owing to some mistake at \Vilmot. without awaitin.., orders from

Lieut. -Col. )Iilsom, the men of the i2rnl Re!.{iruent were or1lP.rcd out t-Oo i-oon, and their

rations contracted for; at tho earnest inst~nce of Lieut.-Col. Decie, commanding. and on

his represeut.1.tion of the pecuniary loss and 'liscontent that any 11lte1-ation would cnm~e, I

felt obliged to leave thin..,s ns nlready arranged, ~ana!!ing so as t-0 put I...ient.-Col. ~Ii.Isom in charge at \Yilmot, whilst I took Paradi<>e, s:> that I could inspect the lntter on Friday,

the former on Saturday. These three commands are all on the Annapolis line of Rail

between.

Tho lands transferred a.t Toronto, contain 191 ncrcs, 2 roods, :mil 8 p<>rche·. The

Jan<l is leaso<l to ono tennnt, Sinnott, who pa.ya a yearly rental of $60.

\Yith reference to tho Toronto lands under my cha.q;e, 11roYiQ11sly trau fen-e.1 to the

}filitb. Depa.rtmcnt, hy the Order in Council, of tho 16th :; ovember, 18GD, I have here to

report that 'i2 acre!'!, 11. triangular piece situated between lhe Gres.t \Yest~rn and

Northern Railways and the western town line, hn.'I heon tli11pos0ll of t.o tho On~rio

Government for ihe sum of$21,000.

On the lat August I received over Isle-aux-~oix and its nrma.ment. 'l'hc latter

consisting of seven 32-pounJer and five 24-pounJer gnn'I, with si<lc-arms, :md tlie u~m:i.l complement of orJnnnce stores •nd sen·ice nmmuniiion. In addition to thc-e I nl o

receiYod two 12-ponnder bronze fielJ gnns, n free gift, '~ith cnrri;,gcs :md limher3 complct

'l'he area of the island ia IGO ncre5, which, with a piece of laml ~ituated on the castRm

bank, between the Richelieu nnd South Rivcrc, of 135 ac1'0ll 2 rood• and 15 perches, "ill

give a total of 285 acres 2 roods and 5 porches.

On the 25th August I received your instructions to diamantle Fort Lennox, o:i the

island, and to remove the armament and all other store'! to :Montreal. Thia was :\CCOm·

plishrd under tho directions of )Ir. Pope, the Montreal storekeeper, by a working p3.rty of

one non-commissioned officer and nine gunners of tho St. Joh n's Garri1>on .Artillery. On

the 10th October it wns reported to me that this duty hnd been i1a.tisfactorily perform<id,

:md that nll tL.c storei hnd reached :Montreal and were stored at St. Helen's I land.

lBle-aux-N' oii is now untenautod, excepting by the ~a.retakor, C. O'II&rn, who 11 a.110 a tenant,

at a. yearly rent of 84, for one of the small toncmtJnts ouL-.ide tho fort.

On the following day, at Montreal, tlie transt•r of the Sorel property was effect«!.

The ln.nds so transferred comprise 993 acres, 0 rood!<, and fl perchec:, aml are occupied by

35 t-0uant!I, at n yearly rental of $1,00i 35. On tho 19th July I received oYor the .\.rtillery rark Barrack! at Jiing""oon. but it
