Excerpt from Address at the Bar of the Legislative Assembly of Canada, Vol. 1: Delivered on the 11th and 14th March
As to the tenor of the prior French law, interpreting the subsequent grants in Lower Canada, I will not say much because, though addressing a tribunal, I am not addressing a body composed exclusively of professional men, and ought not therefore to talk too abstruse law. I shall go as little as possible into details but, venturing as I do on a position which professional men will and must attack, it is necessary for me to state, in some detail, my reasons for the conclusions to which I come.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of the Seigniorial Tenure in Lower Canada, a unique landholding system granting vast tracts of land to individuals known as Seigniors during the French colonial period. The author meticulously examines original land titles and decrees to present a detailed analysis of the system's evolution and its impact on landownership in the region. Through a close reading of these documents, the author challenges traditional interpretations of the Seigniorial Tenure, arguing that Seigniors were not mere trustees bound to concede land at low rents but were in fact proprietors with extensive rights over their domains. This book sheds new light on the complex relationship between landownership, power, and society in early Canada and offers a fresh perspective on the historical development of property rights in North America.
