no we unuw- v. - -._._V.V., V , Mr. CROOKS said the report which had slromly been brought down one nouly all the information l desired. Anew building had been erected for the Schooliin close proximity to University College, with l "we of fourProfesyotir, who in addition to their l work in University College gave . course of instruc- ! tion to the students in nttendance at I the School of traction! Science. Instruc- tion in engineering and chemistry had been 1 provided, and the :School wet for the Brat time in l possession of the Ipplienou necouery to thorough mooning of the latter subjuc't. The School was now essentially what it wasiritertded to be and hud boon made so at a very moderate outlay. for $5,000 the I Province was getting the advantages which n formal i College of Technology would not provide under I $25,000. The Institution wee now extremely eer- I vice-hie, especially in the department of mining v engineering, which we: so useful in the circum- stances of the Province, and for the titat time put the country in a position to turn out civil engineers ot superior acquisitions. lie had strong hopes that the School would prove an immense beuetiUto the Pro- vince at a very smell expenditure. 3 return showing the numbers, residence, profession or trade, ltr tondmca, M tryu.Y, the tetg/ye.', t residence, profumon or Hum, ":45". _.- -___~ "ndanos as well u the native" taught to each pu-: pil "combing the School of Fi1','h't','icl'i; or School of Parties!

Mr. LAU DER said that the School had been unb- lished for tho mechanical clauses, and thought tho money expended on t1uOtstitatiqtt had been spent to . great uncut useless". nut they had it on their bonds and thuy should endeavour to put it, " beqt ther could, to the purposes for which it had been founded. The summon of the School wan also on unfortunate one. If We Minister of Education had treltscted a. Me with the idea of putting it oat of the touch or knowledge of the clan. who would be likely to attend it, u» could not have obtained . better one than ho had. Mr. MEREDITH quoted the etetement of Mr. Blake when the School wee founded. that it was to be a separnto institution, and that a portion of the endowment of University College should be devoted to its purposes. He contended that the proper couue to be carried out was that the University ehonld - eumo the School as one of its branches, and thus re Have the Province of tho burden of its maintenance. Mr. MERRICK else Ipoke in favour of the School of Technology being made I charge upon the Uni- venity Endowment Fund. The motion we: then carried. CIVIL CAUSES. Mr. MONK moved for the second reading of his Bill relating to the trial of civil caused. The Bill was to eetablish an order in the trial of non-j my end jury cases in the Court of Niel Prim, so that the latter would be heard tirtit. This would be more convenient for jurors, and Would tend to lawn the expense attendant on the sitting! of the Court, be- came the jurors would not have to wait while the trial of non-jury cases wee going on, no they were Iomotimee required to do now. 110 found that since last session thejudges had carried out the provincial of the Bill, but not with uniformity. Mr. MOWAT am not think there Ins any procli- cal evil to be corrected by this Bill, no tuojudgol generally acted upon the principles laid down in it. The judges now exercised discretion»? powers with good ttttect in deciding upon the order of cows, and it would not be for tho beaetlt of .thc country to re- movo them rowan. They ought not to be bound down by a certain rule of ordor, became it could not be exocutcd without trouble Ind diluent: to the Court, as well a: to when. Mr. MOLAWS thought that the Bill would reduce the expense to counties in the payment of jurymeu. Mr. DEROUIIH said in hia section ot country ho had new: hoard the [out complaint on this subject. The judges exercised prudenoo in deciding upon the order of can. Mnny non-jury on" mm of Inch . bum that may could be disposed of in lo" than n hour, and eottsequently it was not fair to put mitot- to the expense ot paying witnesses and other costs in waiting until jury can): were disposed of. In the were" urination the Bill mould not be passed. Mr. ROSS believed that the principle of the Bill was carried outin most instanoea by the Judges, but still it would be better to have the order detined by statute. The lawyera aomeLimea arranged before- hand in what order the caaea would be heard, and the Judges. not wishing to act arbitrarily in the mat- ter, agreed to thin order, although it might necessi- tate a longer detention of the Juror: and thereby increase the expense. " the profession knew dis. tinctly in what order onset would be called they would he more diligent in having their witnesses on hand and everything ready to proceed at once, thus row" dawn, which were to tho loss of the noun. We Mr. DEACON said that if there was any ground ot complaint on the part of suitors In nonvjury cases it was m yostponiug their cases untiljury cues [ml been amused or, thus subjecting them in many instances»; loss of both time and money. If they ware to have a reform in this direction it was only to be obtained by wiping out thejurios in civil 1rtbuMtq altogether, because." was becomrng more sppsrent "cry daythut their scrvlces were not required in such cases, the lugs being sblo to deal with tho sums alone. Mr. HARDY recognised the advisability of bulls! thejury cases It,t,f of tust " far so possible. This view had can minus" expressed in this House, and the Judges carried it out to A large extent. But it would not do to bind tho Judges " m, names, pitute, of Itingth. t.oe.Pet of at. there had been any down to s rule. The o tion . ind o inion of the judge should prevail,p tut being 'lllt true way in which the sdmiuistrstion of justice ought to be ourisd out. An established order would not only hamper the judges, but it would (all very hard upon suitors in the way of additional expense and loss of time. Besides,yin nowdury cues involving large sums of money " might prove disastrous to put them on, even for sfew days. Mr. FRASER said that in many instences the oust: Iron rule which the hon. gentleman proposed would . work grievous wrongs to suitors, who had to be oonsidered Just " well " . county and others. Juries were summoned to try criminal cases as well us civil cases; and even after the latter were dis- posed ot the jurors had to wait until the criminal business was concluded. This House could in down no law as to the order in which crimiuof cores should be tried and it would be arbitrary to do so in civil causes. :h.j,ijj?di,riet as tb rule exercised admir- able discretion in rearing cases, and their power in this respect should not be limited. Under these circumstances, and considering the fact that many lswyers in the House sustained the present mode at proceduteln geterence to the proposed change, he submitted to 's hon. friend that he ought to with- draw the Bill. Mr. MILLER ssid lf the Bill would tHreot any saving to the country or reduce lawyers! fees (laugh- ter) he would support it. But as he didn't think either of these desirable ends would follow its "t tion he could not vote for it. -- onmw "in stthoturh the Bill was rather "on u. wu-v- -- - Mr. SCOTT laid although the lel ,r"..rath.tr "ringer" in he terms it con d be owl; modiflad an [ Committee.

Mr. MORRIS 'moved tho second reading of his Mill to amend tho Election Act of Ontario u (at no related to income voters. As the law now stood, income voters were required to toke " oath Wat they had paid their taxel for menu. It In . prnctlw in cities and town- of the Province to col- lect the taxes in instalments, and con-equally when A man came to vote he eouhl not hotMstlr any that he had pom them, although he bod paid put of them. He thought we form of oath should be shined no u tomcat the form of we instalment r- aw. 'Mr. brown ma he had no objection to the second reading of tho Bill. Mr. MEREDITH said at mount n man "longed for $400 iuoomu could not vote union he had laid $.er on the sumo. This disability ought to be No moved. so that the Not of a nun being on the aneu- umm roll for income should entitle him to Tote whether he had actually paid taxes for the you or not. He hoped that when the Bill was considnred in Committee the Attornuy-(ienural would mm a clause to amend the law in mi; roupuot. Mr. CURRIE was not in ("our of the proposed amendment to the Immune Votr.rs' Bill. The enact.- mcut that income voters should par their tax befom being allowed to vote wan not cdntinad to them, but applied to several other claucl ot voters. Md was, he believed, Ijust one. Mr. ROSS hold that the ground upon which tho franchise was extended to iucumo voter: wan not that that class wan poucued ot more intelligence than other classes, but because they had property of sacrum kind, upon which they were entitled to . vote. It was but just to enforce the provision that income vote" should par their tax before voting-M the municipality had no other penalty with winch they could visit thn derelict income voter. He can. curred, however, In the clause which, in places where tho tax was paid in instalments. allowed 111- conga votart to vote if they had paid an instalment of their tax. Mr. WIDDXFIELD corrected the statement of the leader ot the Opposition that tho income voters, all a olaw, were owned to the present. Administration. It might be BO in London, but in his own constituency he knew that the income voters, of whom the num- ber was not large. cast. their votes in favour of the fit"""'"" ot his hon. friend the Attorney-Gono- r .
