® matter of privilege, During his speech on | the Address lhe had stated in his place in | tne House that he had not signed the | round--robin or the petition to the Govern-- | ment to increase the indemunity., Notwith-- standing that, he found in the Mu;l of Saturday, in an aiticle on the indemnity | matter, a list which professed to give the | names of the members supporting the Gov-- [' ernment who had signed the round--robin, | and among them he found his own name. | He was prepared to repeat again what he | had said betore, that he had signed neither | | thelastrovad--robinnorthe previous ono. And ' | to show howlittle faith could be put in that | | list, and how reckless the writer who manu» | 'factured it must have been, he need only | point out that it contained the name of Mr. Massie., The increase of the indem-- | | nity was made in 1876, whils Mr. Massic | did not become a member of the House ; until the following year. (Hear, hear.) | He found besides Mr. Massie's name and | his own the name of Mr. Masters, who did | | not take his seat in the Houso until the | year 1878, two years after the indemnity was increased,.

The list in the Hail was al-- ! together incorrect and erroneous, / Mr. STRMKIER said he had never denied \|f in the House before that be had signed the \|f round--robin. -- He saw his name among the \|| pames in the A/@ils listas having signed it, [Although he had never done so. _ He A arould like to see the round--robin JP produced, and if his name were found upon WJf it in his own handwriting he would resign his seat in the House, and never occupy it agaiu. _ He had voted once before to wipe out the indemnity altogether, and he in-- tended to do so again . Mr, BELL suggested that the Govern-- | ment get tho round~robin lithographed and | published, so that there could be no dispute | as to who had signed it and who had not. Mtr.

Mr. MEREDITII asked whether the at-- | tention of the Government has been called | to the fact that Mr. Thomas Boon, License | Inspector for East Kent, has been elected | Reeve of the town of Bothuwell, Whether | it is intended to permit Mr. Boon to retain the position of License iInspector while he holds the oflice of Reeve. k Mr,; HARDY said the question of his hon, friend was the first intimation he had received of the matter, _ He would make enquiries, and give an answer at a later day . Mr., MOWAT said his attention bhad been | called to the fact that some gentleman--he ') | | did not recognize the name, but supposed | | that + #6 ~was the same gentleman-- | | | who was a license inspector, had | been elected Reeve of Bothwell, As thek matter belonoged to the Department of the ' | Provincial Secretary, the papers were sent to him, but he understood that that gentie~-- "} man bad not yet been able togive them his personal attention. _lf ~ The question was allowed to stand, COoLONIZATION RoADs.
