The collection was assembled by Hamnett Pinhey Hill, K.C. and presented to the Publi c Archives in 1954 and 1956 by his son, Mr. Hamnett Pinhey Hill Jr. In the origi nal arrangement, roman numerals were used to designate each group of file of the papers of Doctor Alexander Christie and Hamnett Pinhey, within the group or file, items were numbered.

    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - 1901 04/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Ottawa Electric There was a partial tie up of the Rideau Street line of the street railway last night caused by a car jumping the track. As car No. 64 was speeding northwards down the Nicholas Street hill, the motorman seemed to lose control and on reaching the curve was going too fast to turn. The car went straight ahead, jumping the track, stopping within two feet of the sidewalk in front of Bourque's store. The auxiliary car and gang were summoned and had a big contract getting the car back on the track. 04/01/1901 Eastern Ontario Review Canada Atlantic Alexandria New Stage Line Mr. John Morrow, C.A.R. agent has succeeded in establishing a regular stage line from Alexandria to Green Valley to connect with all C.P.R. trains. 08/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Chaudiere McKay Milling One of the capital's oldest manufacturing concerns, the McKay Milling Company, is about to go out of business. After the April fire which gutted the buildings and destroyed the plant and stock therein the company sold the mill site and water power at the Chaudiere to Mr. J.R. Booth. A good figure was obtained and the directors thought it was advisable to wind up the affairs of the company rather than seek another site and start anew at present. The McKay Milling Company was founded over 60 years ago in the days of Bytown by the late Hon. Thomas McKay.-- It is understood Mr.

    P. G. Skidmore Canadian Canals to 1848 In the 1820s and 1830s canal fever struck Canada. The disease was not fatal, although it appeared to be at some stages; it left its victim weakened, scarred, deficient in strength to resist a similar disease soon to come-railroad fever. This paper will present a history ofthat canal fever, detailing the clinical symptoms, the probable source of conta­ gion, the effects of the fever, and the aftereffects. In more typically historical terms, the causes of the canal building boom will be explored. Three important canals will be described in detail, including their route, construction difficulties and triumphs, the personnel involved, the financial practices used, the political machinations sur­ rounding their progress, and the canals' effects. In the latter category, there are matters of fact, such as toll revenues, tonnage records, and changes in economic or demographic patterns; and there are matters of judgment, such as the effects of canals on capital investment in Canada, on Montreal's commercial prosperity, on political discontent in Upper Canada, and on esprit de corps. Passing mention will be made of several minor canal projects, aborted or completed. The essay will present a summary of canal building to 1848. By that year, the St. Lawrence canal system was essentially finished, and the Rideau Waterway and Canal were operative. There was an adequate nine-foot waterway for steamers and sailboats from the lower St. Lawrence to the American locks at Sault Sainte Marie. Inland trans­ portation costs had decreased and Montreal was expected to survive as a significant trading entrepot for the West.

  • Nothing “Improper” Happened: Sex, Marriage, and Colonial Identity in Upper Canada, 1783-1850
    NOTHING “IMPROPER” HAPPENED: SEX, MARRIAGE, AND COLONIAL IDENTITY IN UPPER CANADA, 1783-1850 by Robin Christine Grazley A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada June, 2010 Copyright © Robin Christine Grazley, 2010 Abstract This study explores the importance of heterosexual relationships, in theory and practice, to the making of Upper Canada as a British colonial society. Between 1783, when settlers began to enter the territory in the wake of the American Revolutionary War, and 1850, when the transition toward a more powerful colonial state was underway, contests surrounding marriage, gender, and sexuality were of great significance. The colony was intended by its first and many of its subsequent Lieutenant-Governors to serve as a model of loyalty to the British Empire and a bulwark against American democratic “disorder.” Fundamental to this colonial project was the presence of an orderly body of white settlers; however, this aim was often complicated and undermined by a diverse settler population which refused to conform to middle-class mores and social norms. Marriage and sexual “morality,” significant aspects of assessing “race” and “civilization” in this period, were primary sites for these tensions. This study reenvisions appropriate and inappropriate heterosexual behaviour in the colony and explores the importance of debates over marriage and sexuality to articulations of settler identity. Using private writings, travel literature, and judicial records, including the benchbooks of the colony’s judges, I examine the ways the formation and dissolution of intimate relationships were contested between individual colonists, in local politics, and in international discourse about the British empire and the value of its colonies of settlement.
