134 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Virginia (1705 and 1725) declaring Slaves to be real estate which were not allowed 

 to be repealed so as to make Slaves personal estate — the Author adds "Scores of 

 similar cases could be cited," p. 262. 



The same provision appears in Carleton's Instructions (1768). Shortt and 

 Doughty, p. 214.

(15) Shortt and Doughty, p. 136. This is repealed in Carleton's Instructions 

 (1768), p. 213. 



(16) Shortt and Doughty, pp. 422, 475, 555. 



(17) Shortt and Doughty, pp. 421, 475, 554. 



(18) July 7, 1766, and Ordinance was passed by the Council that no one should 

 "sell by retail Rum, Brandy, Wine, Syder or other spirituous and strong Liquors, 

 mixt or unmixed .... or keep any common Tippling House or Victualling 

 House without License": the license cost 36 shillings ($7.20) — 2s (40 cents) to the 

 Clerk of the Peace, 8s ($1.60) to the Deputy-Secretary, and the remaining 26s 

 ($5.20) "to be appropriated to publick Uses as the Governor and Council shall 

 think proper." "Ordinances Made and Passed, &c." pp. 82, 83. 



(18) Shortt and Doughty, p. 422. This is repeated in the subsequent Instruc- 

 tions, Shortt and Doughty, pp. 475, 554.

(20) 24 Geo. Ill C. C, "Ordinances, &c.," pp. 139 sqq. Perhaps the Pierre 

 Du Calvet case is the most celebrated of Haldimand's alleged misdeeds in that 

 behalf. Du Calvet on being released brought an action in the English Court of 

 King's Bench against Haldimand; it never came to trial as the unfortunate plaintiff 

 was drowned on his return from this Continent to which he had come to collect 

 evidence: Actio personalis moritur cum persona. I have examined the facts of the 

 case in a paper read before the Royal Society of Canada (not printed).

(22) There is no substantial difference between Laws and Ordinances, Rules 

 and Regulations.
