Rome was their church and the Hudson , Bay Company their State. Suddenly word came up the river thai the land upon which they had lived . for so manv vears had been transferred I to the Domin.on of Canada.

Tae re j beliion did not kexip the stranger- our, I bat it had its effect in the half-breed Land act. whieh was soon after pa.-sed by the Dominion Parliament. In the rst n'uice there were 1.40U.IMJ acres of land et apart for the half-breed infants. sabque3t grant? were made of land and scrip to the half-breed heads of families. Afterward came an .order in council dividing the 1.40-JJX.' acres- of land among the infants per cap ta. and granting i-fj acres to each child. Com-nua-ioners were sent aboat to take a census of the families, and children were at a premium: each child was worth r4y acres of good land to its parents. and tradition ?y that children were "lent" from one family to anoth er, those already coasted by the-coca-missioners being sent abroad to be counted over again in the interest of another family further on. Chfklren ten. eleven and rwelve year of age were examined with the utmost 2rav-,ty. and the farce was asain and again enacted by obtaining their con sent to the sale of their lands, s range it was that thes-yoiiniters never with held their consent. Lands were taker, out of chancery and -old with ?ueh raoiditv that to keer un wit!i tlie times printed affidavits haa to be struck off in zreat numbers uniformlv depo-ins that the deponent was the father of -uch and such an infant, that he wa- hopelessly ill or disabled, that he was destitute an "l unable to keep his children; for ome time after all efiects of the Baie m. Pacd doods had. entirely passed away, iniin from the f oods remained an invariable ciaue m etery afiidavir that wa- in tended "to."fetch" the Judse. The custom still prevails very wide'y among half-breeds in Manitoba of swearing interest out of court. Tne money that remained in chancerv on the sale of infants" lands is no and has not ben allowed to lie and aeeumulaie intere-t. The half-breeds know t' at interest is accumulating. 2ome of them are not remarkable for industry. While there is the eertaintv of a i;vc dolla-s i being paid out of eourt to them in a ft-w w.-elts or months they will live in u:ter j idlen-s and erist oe almost nothi j rather than work.
