Summary
This is a private relief bill from Alberta's very first legislative session in 1906. Private relief bills were a common historical practice where a legislature would pass a law specifically to help one or more named individuals who had a legal or financial grievance that could not be resolved through normal court or government processes. Because the full text of this bill is not available online, the exact nature of the relief granted to Daniel W. Henderson and Lloyd Austin is unknown. It may have involved compensation, debt forgiveness, a land claim, or some other personal legal matter that required a special act of the legislature to resolve. This type of bill was introduced on behalf of private citizens and was common in early Canadian and provincial legislatures before modern administrative and legal systems were fully developed. It would have affected only the two individuals named.
