LAWS OF UPPER CANADA An Act to amend an Act passed in the 59thyear of His Majesty's reign, en- titled, " An Act for vesting in Com¬ missioners the Estates of certain Trai¬ tors^ and also the Estates of persons declared Aliens, by an Act passed in the 5Ath year of His Majesty's reign" entitled, " An Act to declare certain persons therein described Aliens, and to vest their Estates in His Majesty* and for applying the proceeds thereof towards compensating the losses which H's Majesty*s Subjects have sustained in consequence of the late war, and for ascertaining and satisfying the lawful debts and claims thereupon. W' HEREAS by an Act of the Par¬ liament of this Province, passed in the 54th year of His Majesty's reign, entitled uAn Act to declare certain per¬ sons therein described aliens, and to vest their Estates in His Majesty," certain Estates in this Province, have become vested in His Majesty,having been found by Inquisition to have beeu*on the first day of July one thousand eight hundred and twelve, in the seizen of persons de¬ clared aliens by the provisions of that Act, which Estates were after the said first day of July, and before the depar¬ ture of such aliens fr#m this Province, conveyed to bona fide purchasers, with- outany intention of fraud, ©r were sei¬ zed and -^old in execution upon judg¬ ments lawfully obtained, before the de¬ parture of such Aliens from this Province as aforesaid, and whereas the provisions of the said Act in that behalf were only intended to prevent fraudulent sales, made with intent to evade expected for¬ feitures, it is expedient that relief should be afforded to boua fide purchasers in the cases above mentioned, who io some in¬ stances have made large improvements lip on Lands acquired by them before thp passing of the said Act, and who would be wholly ruined, unless provision is made for such relief. Be it therefore enacted, &c- That the Commissioners appointed under the Act passed in the 59th year of His Majesty's Reign, enti¬ tled, " An Act for vesting in Commis¬ sioners the estates of certain Traitors and also the Estates of persons declared Aliens by an Act passed in the 54th year of His Majesty's reign, entitled " An Act to declare certain persons therein descri¬ bed Aliens, and to vest their Estates in His Majesty, and for applying the pro¬ ceeds thereof towards compensating the losses which His Majesty's Subjects have sustained in consequence of the late war, and for ascertaining and satisfying the lawful debts and claims thereupon" shall and may have power to revise all such claims as have been brought before them, tnd whether the same have or have not been decided on appeal, and if it shall appear to their satisfaction upon the proof brought before them in support of the same claim, that the sale by the Alien or under a Judgment against him, made or entered, before the departure of such Alien from the Province and before the passing of the said first mentioned Act, was bona Sde, and not for fraud or eva¬ sion, or with a knowledge of the purcha¬ ser of his intention to desert the Province, then the said Commissioners shall and may have power to decree such Estate to such claimant proving good title to the same: and that it <ha11 and njav be lawful for any person or person* iiautig any claim under such bona fide sale as aforesaid, to prefer the same to the said Commissi, ners, within the period of two months from the passing of this Act, any thing in the above recited Act passed in the 59th year of His Majesty's reign to the contrary notwithstanding. II. And w'hereas it appears upon the Petition of Thomas Ridout, Esquire, and others, that in some cases, from a mis¬ take in describing the lot, or other error in inquisitions, certain Estates have been erroniously returned as forfeited.* and the persons owning the same, not having observed the public notice thereof, until after the expiration of the eight months limited for claiming before the said Com¬ missioners ; by reason whereof the same have been absolutely vested in the Com- missioners above mentioned, who are compelled to proceed to sell the same, notwithstanding such manifest error as aforesaid ; be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for the said Commission¬ ers to inspect the respective Inquisitions, together with the minutes of evidence thereon, and compare the same with the returns furnished, and published by them according to law, and that on its appear¬ ing to the said Commissioners, or a ma¬ jority of them, from such inspection or otherwise, that any Estate has been re¬ turned manifestly by error, it shall and may be lawful for them at any time, be¬ fore the sale thereof, to decree the same to such person as shall prove title there¬ to, or in default of any claim therefor* to forbear proceeding to sell the same. III. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That when any bona fide sale of any Lands or Tenements shall have been made by any person or persons, who may hereafter be found by Inquisition to be an Alien or Aliens un¬ der the said Act, passed in the fifty fourth year of His Majesty's reign, when such sale shall have been made previous to the desertion of such Alien, it shall and may be lawful for the Commission¬ ers aforesaid, upon satisfactory proof of «ttch bona fide sale, to decree such lands and tenements to the purchaser or pur¬ chasers thereof, or the person eutitled to claim the £w./j. * IV. And be ttfurther enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the bona fide debt by specialty or simple contract due to any His Majesty's liege subjects heard and determined by the said Commission¬ ers against any person whose estate is now orhereafterraay become vested in the said Commissioners, sbal! be paid out of the funds of such Estate in like manner as if the same was alien upon the said Estate, any thing in the said Act of the fifty ninth year of His Majesty's reign to the contrary thereof notwithstanding. JVo- vided, such claim shall be made within three months after the passing of this Act. KINGSTON TANNERY. Tf UNDERHILL & Co.
