In the early thirties Willlam Lyon Mackenzle, the grandfather, headed a faction in what was then Upper Canada, now the province of On- tario, which was striving for wider autonomy for the colony, and was bitterly opposing the troy, or Eng- lish official party. In December, 1837, he gathered a mob of his followers on the out- skirts of Toronto with the inten- tion of seizing the lieutenant gov- ernor and setting up a provisional government. Misunderstandings among the leaders led to com- plete fallure of the revolt, and Mackenzle fled to this country with a price upon his head. In Buffalo he collected a dis- orderly “army” and seized and fortifled Navy Island, in the river between the two countries, and for some weeks troubled the Canadian frontier. This attempt also failed and In 1839 he was tried here for BBFSLNW. “That cultivators shall have fifty ||y vears time in which to pay for the | i “That speclal government legisla- |y get prompt | estimates, show a gross profit to the ||| government of approximately $4,000,- 000,000. “More than 75 per cent of the crime | [k committed in this country would never| | ‘have been perpetrated if the proper environment and opportunity had been || | given the large army of youths now | confined in state institutions,” said Mr. Crowe. “As a citizen, it may interest vou to know that some 400,- 000 persons are annually committed to various terms of imprisonment by the courts of this country, more than 100,000 of them neglected youths, | victims of economic conditions.” $147.50 qunmm i) b upward.
