(Signed) "James McMahon, "Albert A. Kydd." Claiming that there were "great big" expenditures in the public accounts under the Lands and Forests Depart-- ment and the Public Works Department for "payment of men" and "payment of wages," Mr. Sinclair produced before the House the following affidavit: "The Government seems very anxious," declared Mr. Sinclair, "to get away from the cases of these two Magistrates I have mentioned. I am going to leave it to the Attorney--Gen-- eral to clean the situation up. I have called it to his attention just as forcibly as I can." sjatement that surely Mr. Sinclair knew taiat the firms had been back trading Premier Ferguson interrupted at this Jjuncture, to voice "regret" that the incident had occurred. He said that "'people will often break out this way," and that there were a number of cases he knew of where Liberal appointees had done the same thing as Magistrate Norman. Attorney--General Price said there had been a Division Court Clerk who, last election, had got on the plat-- form.

"How long," he said, "is the Govern-- ment going to give Mr. Norman to re-- sign? If he thinks more of speaking for the Conservative Party than carry-- ing out his duties as Magistrate and as a Judge of the Juvenile Court of On-- tario, let him join that party." Mr. Sinclair recalled the case of Magistrate Burgess of Port Credit, who had spoken for the Conservative candi-- date in Peel at the last election, and then turned to the case of Magistrate Robert Addison Norman of Picton--a Judge of the Juvenile Court--who, ac-- cording to information in his posses-- sion, had, he declared, addressed a meeting in the same election in the in-- terests of Horace S.
