Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 120 ii ABSTRACT Between 1800 and 1832 virtually all aspects of local administration in Upper Canada were overseen by those men appointed to the office of Justice of the Peace. During this era the Justices of the Peace sitting in the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace accumulated. the vast majoI1ty of administrative and judicial powers granted by the Colonial Government to oversee local settlement. In the District of Johnstown, prior to its spectacular growth between 1:816 and 1820, the monopoly of power which the Magistrates were granted allowed them to effectively administer to the administrative and judicial needs of the settlers in the District. However, as the population of the colony grew and administration became more time-consuming and complex, an unwieldy number administrative tasks were placed upon the shoulders of the Justices of the Peace.

    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE FOUR, SPRING/SUMMER 2008 Editorial: Caribbean-Scottish Passages Gemma Robinson and Carla Sassi Making a way in the world In Scotland you can reach Guyana by taking the A81 north from Glasgow, or the A84 then A81 from the Crianlarich turnoff on the M80 Motorway at Stirling. Either way you’ll find Guyana – a garden centre in Aberfoyle, specialising in plants, garden arts and crafts sourced from around the world.[1] Robert, the owner, has visited the country before and chose the name as a way of keeping hold of the ‘rainforest connotation’ once back in a more temperate climate. He also recognises the shop’s curiosity value: ‘It would be like finding a shop called “Aberfoyle” in Georgetown, Guyana, although you’d be surprised at how many connections people tell you about’. Driving through Aberfoyle (population 576) on a Sunday afternoon, a Trinidadian, two Jamaicans and two Britons, turned a corner and saw this shop: it was a singular form of Caribbean-Scottish connection. What does it mean to track ‘Caribbean-Scottish passages’? Who is involved in making the passage between the Caribbean and Scotland, historically, culturally and politically? How can we understand the significance of these passages between nations, histories, art-forms, languages and literatures? These are some of the questions that animate this special issue, and the questions that our contributors pose and answer in the articles, art-work and occasional papers that follow. To think about the Caribbean and Scotland in the same horizon of vision is to recognise it as part of a shared world.

    €x iLibrig JOHN CHANCELLOR BOYLEN FROM THE TRANSACTIOXS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES— 1908-1909 V^OLUME II SECTION Ij HISTORY OF THE QUEEN'S RANGERS By JAMES HANNAY, D.C.I.. OTTAWA PRINTED FOR '^HE ROYAL SOOIETY OB' CANADA, 1909 — Section II., 1908. [123] Trans. R. S. C. IV. History of the Queen's Rangers. By James Hannay, D.C.L. (Read May 26, 1908.) I. Of the forty or more battalions of Loyalists which enlisted in the service of the Crown during the Eevolutionary war, none has been so widely celebrated as the Queen's Eangers. This, no doubt, is partly due to the fact that they found a historian in Lieut.-Col. Simcoe, their com- manding officer, who wrote a book to chronicle their achievements; yet after making all allowance for this advantage, it must be admitted, with- out detriment to the other Loyalist corps, that the Queen's Eangers ex- ceeded them all in length and variety of service. What the famous Light Division was in Wellington's Peninsular Campaigns. the Queen's Eangers became to the British army in America ; whenever there was an enterprise that demanded celerity and daring, the Queen's Eangers were selected for the service, if they happened to be at all near the place where it was to be performed. Their six years of active service in the war made them veterans, and their peculiar organization enabled them to ac- complish feats which would have been quite beyond the power of an ordinary battalion of the line.

  • PART 3 the Employed Men
    THE MOUNTRAVERS PLANTATION COMMUNITY - INTRODUCTION P a g e | 1044 PART 3 The employed men Chapter 3 Biographies of managers, 1734-1807 Father and son, James and Joseph Browne, 1734-1761 James Browne was the longest-serving manager on Mountravers but a lack of documents meant that relatively few details about his plantation management could be established. Today, the Brownes are best known for their plantation in the parish of St James Windward which was later called Eden and then Eden Browne. The setting of a tale about a death by duel, the old Browne’s estate is now one of the tourist attractions in Nevis. ◄► ▼◄► James Browne may well have come from an old, established Nevis family: in the 1670s there were eight Brownes on the island, including a ‘free Negro’ called John Brown.1 By the early 1700s the number had increased to eleven, mostly through the arrival in 1685 of several Monmouth rebels transported for Governor Stapleton. It appears that James was born in 1710 and the son of James Browne, a member of the Nevis Council.2 James Browne junior studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and was said to have joined the Inner Temple at the age of 16.3 However, he did not follow a legal career but in 1734 was installed as manager on John Frederick Pinney’s plantation. His appointment was a family affair: Jeremiah Browne, who almost certainly was an uncle of James’s,4 was John Frederick Pinney’s guardian, while 1 Oliver, VL Caribbeana Vol 3 Nevis Census 1677/8 2 UKNA, CO 186/1 3 Oliver, VL History of Antigua Vol 1 p76; also http://www.innertemple.org.uk/archive/ 4 The man Mary Pinney had appointed as her son’s guardian, Jeremiah Browne, was a wealthy landowner.
