Joshua Bull.* In the year 1837 the old French party in Canada (mostly Roman Catholics), rebelled and attempted to secede from the British Government. A state of civil war ensued. In 1838 the Earl of Durham was sent out from England as Governor-General of Canada with special powers to deal with the situation. AU citizens were called upon to take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown, and to the young Queen Victoria, who had recently come to the throne of England. Meanwhile some overofficious person required the Friends in Farnham to take an oath of allegiance in a form which they could not subscribe to on account of their testimony against all oaths in any form. This placed the Friends in a very embarrassing position. At length, however, it was reported that the Earl of Durham had announced his intentions to resign his position as Governor and return to England. This circumstance afforded the Friends an opportunity to express their loyalty and allegiance to the government, and to the Earl of Durham, personally, without any oath, as appears by the following address, which was prepared and signed by the adult male members of Friends, and numerous other citizens who never were members of the Society of Friends. It was then forwarded to the Earl of Durham, as expressing their satisfaction and confidence in his administration of affairs, and requesting him to remain at his post. It is not mentioned who was delegated to present this document to the Governor. Farnham Monthly Meeting had not been established at that time ; therefore there are no monthly meeting Note.—Joshua Bull, the contributor of the present paper, died Seventh month 18, 1912, in his eighty-second year. He was the last male member of what was East Farnham Monthly Meeting. He sent this paper last spring, but too late for our last number. He was an interested reader of the Bulletin, and contributed to the number for Eleventh month, 1908 (Vol. 2, No. 3), a valuable paper on the history of Farnham Monthly Meeting, P. Q., Canada.—Editor. 134 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL SOCIETY. records to refer to for data. But it appears evident from the context of his reply that some reference other than what appears in this document must have been made to him in regard to the embarrassing situation concerning the Oath of Allegiance, which difficulty he seems to understand readily from his knowledge of Friends in England. It will doubtless be desirable to publish the names of some of the Friends who signed this address, and as there are in the list many names of those who never were members, I have put an asterisk opposite the names of some of the prominent members, to indicate their membership. Farnham, ioth mo. 9, 1838. To the Earl of Durham, Governor-General of the Canadas, &c, &c, &c. We, the undersigned Citizens of the Townships of Farnham, and parts adjacent in Lower Canada, beg leave respectfully to represent to the Earl of Durham, that we are so situated as to have been among the afflicted witnesses of some of the commotions which so greatly disturbed this province during the Autumn and Winter of last year. We deeply regret those commotions, and above all deplore their lamentable issue, the shedding of blood ; and that in no small or unimportant scale. With those awful scenes in our recollection, we have hailed the paternal government of the Earl of Durham, distinguished as we consider it to have been by moderation as well as firmness, and strong had been our hopes that it would be the means of permanently softening down the asperities of party & of preventing the recurrence of such afflicting and distressing events. It is therefore matter of grief and lamentation to us that circumstances should have induced the Earl of Durham to entertain the intention of retiring from these provinces. We are persuaded that notwithstanding these circumstances his government would continue to have the support of good and moderate men of all parties, and that nothing which has occurred would materially weaken its strength & efficacy.
