"The net result is that 39,000 of the statutory salary of the office of Prime Minister. being $3,000 a year for three years, was not drawn by Mr. Drury and still remains in the Public Treasury. and Mr, Drury's recompense for this act of self- "lmouatiott on his part is the of- fnnsive and untruthful statement made by the ex-Minister of Lands ' and Forests on the floor of this House last Friday."
