ifs- to the editor of the kingston chronicle sir as the subject of the dissolution of our provincial parliament in consequence of the demise of our late most gracious majesty has been considered by someofyourcontemporaries i dhall feel obliged by your inserting the follow ing observations on the same subject provided you think them worthy of publicity it has been the fault of those who assert that a dissolution of oiir parliament may be affected in three ways viz 1st by the kings will sdly by the demise of the crown and 3dly by length of time that they have never looked far ther than blackstone for their opinion and have not even properly looked into that authoii- ty they ought to know that blackstone is speaking in the first place of the dissolution of british parliament according to common taw construction and afterwards that he speaks of it as it is regulated by different statutes if the statutes which exist upon the subject were not in force at all then their opinion would be entitled to some credit but unfortunately for their opinion they are in full force and have been law since the time of william and mary by the common law the parliament was dis solved by the demise of the king and the rea son was as it is expressed in blackstone he being considered in law as the head of the par liament capub principium tt finis that failing the whole body was held to be extinct this rule of the common law however no longer holds in england provision having been made by dif ferent statutes for such an event by the statute 7 and 8 william and mary chapter 15 it is ex pressly declared that in such cases the parlia ment shall continue for six months and no longer unless sooner dissolved by the next heir the 6th of anne chap 7 sec 4 contains ex actly the same provision in the same language the statute 1st george 1st chap 38 merely alters the time for the continuance of parliament by that act it continues for seven instead of three years as exacted by the 6th of william and mary the act of geo 1st has no reference whatever to the above mentioned provisions in the 7 and 8 of william and mary and 6th of anne but say3 in express terms that parlia ments shall for the future have continuance for seven years and no longer this act did not repeal the two former acts mentioned as we sec thai the british parliament is still in existence and is now in actual session notwithstanding tbe demise of the crown this proves that the common law principle is no longer in force and that the continuance of parliament depends entirely upon the statutes passed regulating their duration and why our statute the 31st geo 3d should he an exception to the rule i cannot conceive for it is equally entitled to respect and is as much law as the statutes of william or uf anne the next question then to he considered is what is the provision in such case in our consti tutional act it enacts that our parliament vijtid twfaft jq- jcmu- yews suhjuul lo tg sooner dissolved by the governor hence it appears that by this statute our parliament can only be dissolved in two ways either by length of time or by the governor c there is nothing said about the dc mise of the crown and indeed there is no analogy in that respect between the british parliament and ours for if the common law reason given by blackstone be correct viz the king beintj consi dered the head of the parliament c then there ought to be a dissolution on every change of go vernors but as i have already shewn this principle of the common law and the reason of it have not been in force in england since the time of william and mary and i can see no ground fortheopinionthatitshouldbein force here it is true that the governor may dissolve the parliament but will be what advantage is to be gained 1 it is not as in england where a changeof ministers may be the consequence of a new reign or where the reigning monarch may prefer having a parliament of his own calling p to the editor of the kingston chronicle sir since writing to you this morning upon the subject of the dissolution of our parliament the york courier has been put in my hands by a friend the editor of that paper has given it as his decided opinion that tne parliament must be dissolved within six months after the kings demise and states that as it is the law of eng land as declared by statute so it mint be the law here now ideny this position forhemight with equal propriety assert that because parlia ments arc septennial in england they must be so here also our constitutional act has no reference toand has no connexion whatever with any english sta tute relative to the parliament there not so with the 1st geo 1st cap 33 which recites the act of 6th william and mary and merely enlarges the time for the continuance of parliament specified in that act without altering any of the provisions of the 7th and 8th william and 6th of anne if it repealed those provisions the rule of common law would prevail unless the statute should be gendered in prevent it but we find by the practice in england that it is not a repeal of any of the provisions of the statutes last mentioned the question then is does the act of 6th of anne affect the 31st geo 3rd merely because we have introduced the laws of england in this province by referring to the 7th and 8th of william and mary cap 15 it will be seen in the preamble that the reason for continuing the parliament fcr six months after the demise of the king was be cause the kingdom might be exposed to great dangers by ike invasion of foreigners or by the traitorous conspiracies of wicked and evil disposed persons whenever it should please god to affiict those realms by the death of the gracious sovereign king william or by the death of any of his heirs or succes sors before a parliament could be summoned and called by the ntxt heir and successor to the crown it is clear that this reason can not hold good in a colony where a governor or administrator continually presides besides by introducing the laws of england generally we do not introduce any law which is contrary or opposed to any provision of the 31st geo 3rd we had no power to do so nowthe statutes of william fit anne are opposed as we have seen to the provision of our constitutional act which enacts in express terms and without reference to either of the other statutes mention ed tut our assembly shall continue for 4 jfcors unless sooner dissolved by the governor if the editor of the courier or any other perron can point out a statute enacting that the british parliament shall continue in force for a limited terra of years in the same way that our act does and that notwithstanding such statute the de mise of the crown caused a dissolution of the par liament then x give up the point but i feel pursuaded neither he nor any other person can do so upon what authority hen does the argument rest that the demise of the crown effects a disso lution of the parliament tit opposition to an ex press act of the legislature 1 we see in england that the common law principle has given way to a statute and why it should not in this country i cannot divine p

five years growth cr by trasplautiog the roots themselves by the first mode it requires seven or eight years before the vine comes to its full bearing and for the two first years those plants which fail muslbe replaced about onethird of the wholo plantation tbe second mode is the best for if you are supplied with good plants well rooted there is no danger of loosing any and the second year from the time of transplanting they yield fruit in climates where the winters are se vere the season for transplanting the vine is ihe inner part of march or the begining of april but in more temperate latitudes the end of october is to be preferred drills or furrowsofcighteen inches wide and eighteen deep must first he prepared and if they be made iu the course of the preceding bummer or autumn would be still better for the earth thus having re mained exposed to the air would be more favourable to the plant the most econo mical and expeditious way of performing this operation is by using a plough and go ing with it three or four times over the same furrow after which the ground may be dug out with a spade to the depth re quired if the plantation is but small or the expense no consideration the best me thod is to dig the gronnd deep with the spade and turn it up in all directions inlands which are very sandy and light the drills must be made to tbe depth of six teen or eighteen inches and the drier the soil the deeper they ought to be in rich soils fifteen inches is sufficient let the drills be run in a direct straight line from north to south that the plants may receive the rays of the sun on all sides plant the roots from four to six feet apart according to the quality of the soil tbe richer it is tbe farther apart the plants should be if you use horses for ploughing the roots ought to be at least six or seven feet distant from one another and eight or nine if oxen arc used so that your groundmay be used without injuring any of the plants final ly if the spade only is to be used the plants may be placed five or six feet apart every way care must be taken likewise not to place the plants of one row immediately opposite those of the next row that they may not he in the way of one another in planting the vine lay down six inchso of the plant flat at the bottom uf the drill leaning the upper partof it against tbe side so as to form the figure of an angle when in this position placing one foot on the roots to press them flat with the bottom of the trench you cover them with three or four inches of good earth well pulverised or two or three handfulls of moistened ash es you then press the clay or ashes closely with your feet aud fill up the drill so as ouly to leave two eyes of the plant un covered the drills when planting must he free from water if any from preceding rains remain in them it is better to wait a day or two uoril they become dry the subscriber having been appointed agent for mr loubat he is now ready to receive orders
