extends the boundary line upon the east northward "to the boundary of Hudson's Bay." It would seem from these words that Upper Canada was to extend to the shores of Hudson's Bay. It is extremely doubtful whether the grant to the Hudson's Bay Company included any of the country to the south and west of the Bay. Upon the southern and western shores they, no doubt, had the monopoly of the trade confessedly granted them, but their territorial rights lay within the entrance of the Straits and Bay, which might fairly enough describe the country east of Hudson's Bay, but could not be held to embrace the country lying upon the outside of the line of entrance to the Straits and Bay. No lawyer after the period of the Revolution, in 1688, would hold that the King had power to grant a monopoly of trade, even though he had been sovereign of the country. It is obvious, then, that there was no right of property or government in the Company which this extension of Upper Canada would take away. The Company's rights of property lay in a different direction, and even with regard to the country east of the Bay, 49th George 3rd, c. 27, sec. 14, embraced the country from the St. John's River to the coast of Labrador, northward to Hudson's Straits. This Act, in 1809, severed from Lower Canada this territory, and re-annexed it to Newfoundland. The description embraced territory within the line drawn from Cape Perdrix, though not within the line drawn by De Lisle, which may be taken to be drawn as laid down by the French Plenipotentiaries. But if we grant that it was not intended to go beyond the limits contemplated by the Treaty of Utrecht, the boundary line upon the north-east would be located midway between Fort Abbitibi and Moose or Monsonis Fort; midway between the fort on the Upper Albany and Fort Albany; midway between Lake Winnipeg and Port Nelson. The limits of the Province of Ontario, then, are, the international boundary upon the south, westward to the Rocky Mountains; the Rocky Mountains, from the international boundary, northward to the most north-westerly sources of the Saskatchewan ; the northern watershed of the Saskatchewan eastward, until it intersects the boundary line midway between Lake Winnipeg and Port Nelson at the mouth of Nelson River; and, upon the north-east the line already indicated, drawn midway between the posts held by England and France just before Canada was ceded to Great Britain. existence of never objected to by the English Government or the Hud- 180 AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, TREATY OF provisions of, respecting the Southern boundary of Canada.. deputed by the Government of Canada to take renewed possession ALBANY, FORT, captured by the Chevalier de Troyes.
