• Note: 14 June 1834; Trent River Ferry, Trent Port, Hastings Co., Upper Canada; "14 June 1834, River Trent, John V Murphy of Murray, yeoman …has been for the last three years the lessee under the Crown of the ferry across the mouth of the River Trent and has regularly paid all rents …When a new lease was to be granted in the month of June last your petitioner proposed to pay the sum of twenty pounds for the same until the bridge across the river should be completed which according to the terms of contract with the builders was not to be till the first of October next and which proposal was duly accepted …. That immediately after the proposal was accepted the contractors began erecting the bridge which extends directly between the two points at which your petitioner had established convenient landing places for the boats and other vessels used for such ferry whereby your petitioner was placed under the necessity of landing persons and other matters ferried by him on the lands of other individuals who invariably complain of injury done them some of whom even threaten to prosecute. That during last season your petitioner was unable to ??? from the ferry a sum sufficient to pay a man for attending to the same owing to the facility of crossing the river in the numerous boats and other vessels used in building the bridge which now is and has been for upwards of a month the only mode of crossing the river being thrown open on all occasions as well by night as by day. Nor does your petitioner think that he has any legal remedy against the contractors or any other persons for the loss and damage he has thus sustained as they make it appear that the bridge is kept open for their own convenience and that of their workmen ….. your petitioner prays .. that no rent be expected .. from the commencement of his present lease and that he be discharged from liability for the same.
