25. Misappropriation of Six Nations Funds by Samuel P. Jarvis
|
![]()
|
Samuel P. Jarvis was Chief Superintendent of Indian Affairs from June 15, 1837 until he was suspended from office by the Governor General on May 10, 1845.
On March 19, 1846, Governor General Cathcart reported that an investigation in the official conduct of Samuel P. Jarvis revealed an unaccountable balance against him of £6,375.6.11 which Jarvis has been called on to pay. Governor General Cathcart felt that certain allowances should be allowed Jarvis when passing judgement on his pecuniary transactions but felt that it was, impossible to acquit Jarvis of culpable negligence and of grave irregularity in the discharge of the responsible duties entrusted to him.
On January 15, 1851, Solicitor General J. S. Macdonald recommended that an action of account in the Court of Chancery be brought against Samuel P. Jarvis.
On February 22, 1851, R. Bruce, Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, recommended that the Solicitor General’s report on the alleged defalcation of Samuel P. Jarvis be referred to the Executive Council before any further action was taken by the Indian Department and that any expenses of a suit in the Court of Chancery, if unsuccessful, were to be borne by the Indians out of their annuity fund.
In 1857, Samuel P. Jarvis died and the Government seems never to have forced Jarvis’ Estate to restore the missing funds for which the Government claimed Jarvis was responsible.
