Español12TH PARLIAMENT OF UPPER CANADA
The '12th Parliament of Upper Canada' was in session from January 15 1835 to May 28 1836. Elections in Upper Canada had been held in October 1834. All sessions were held at Toronto. Parliament was dissolved after a serious dispute with the new lieutenant governor, Sir Francis Bond Head, who ordered a new election. The assembly, dominated by reformers, had refused to pass any new money bills and had labelled Head a deceitful tyrant after he had invoked his right to consult the representatives of the people only on certain specific matters.
James Samson died while still in office on March 27 1836 and was not replaced. A separate riding was created for Huron in 1835. William Morris became a member of the Legislative Council in January 1836; Alexander Thom was elected in a by-election held in February 1836. Ogle Gowan and Robert Jameson were elected but the election was declared invalid due to violence at the polls; William Buell and Mathew Howard were elected in a by-election. John Lefferty's election was overturned on appeal and David Thorburn was declared elected. Alexander Macdonell died on February 16 1835 and was replaced by John Chesser.
