"[286] _Question_ 1819: "How do you propose that the
priests should be paid?" _Answer_: "By a grant from this country or from
Ireland." _Question_ 1820: "Do you mean simply the expense of their
emigration, not as a permanent endowment in the colony?" _Answer_: "I
never entered so exactly into the detail as to say in what manner I
thought the endowment might be best effected, and, consequently, I do
not consider myself as committed to any particular plan of endowment.
The probability is, that the most effective way of endowing them would
be, to a certain extent, in money, and to a certain extent by land in
Canada; but that is a part of the plan which I did not consider
necessary to draw out in detail." The following question and answer
explains what Mr. Godley meant by "aids to location:"--_Question_ 1848:
"What is the practical mode in which you would set about the
establishment of a colony?" _Answer_: "I would open the country by means
of roads and bridges, build mills, endow a clergyman, and build a
school. Those are the leading features of a social settlement to which I
think a company, or any body that wanted to establish a settlement,
ought to attend first.
