[CRUIKSHANK] A STUDY OF DISAFFECTION IN UPPER CANADA 65 
land. Samuel Thompson has a good deal of good land in this district 
and some others who lived in the Niagara District. I think that the 
property confiscated under the Commissions sent up here may amount, 
including Westbrook’s and Reynold’s, to at least £8000 which will, I 
suppose, yield a clear £7000 to the Crown. 
I did not receive the Commissions till August last and the time 
occupied in marshalling the evidence and my own necessary occupa- 
tions prevented the Commissions being executed sooner. 
P. S.—I shall deliver the minutes of evidence myself as I wish to 
copy over my notes for my own satisfaction.
