The Princeton Tragedyr The followingverdict was returned on Saturday last, after several adjourn- ments, by the coroner‘s jury in what is known as the “ Princeton tragedy ”: “ The jurors of our; sovereign. lady» the Queen, cmpancllcd. by Dr. hie-Lay, on the fllst February, to enquire into the cause of the death of the youngnnan found dcadi in- thc bush near Princeton, commonly called Ilcrscc’s swamp, lot 232, concession 2,13ch- ltcim. whose name now appears to bc Fred- erick. Cornelius Benwell, do on- tltcir oath' prescntthattthc- said Frederick. Cornelius Bcnwcll cantc to his deathlbytwo'pistol shots fired into his headt'rom. behind, one at.or.ncar:thc nape‘ of the neck. and thc other. a little behind andabove the-left ear, either. of. which was sufficient to cause death ; and'your jurors have reasouto be- lieve, and do believe, that the said shots were fired by the hand of Reginale Birch- all, alias Somerset, with deliberate purpose and wilfully and feloniously to commit murder,.on crabout the 17th day of Feb- ruary,.1890; and we arc-of opinion that Caroline Birchull, wife of said Reginald Birchall, was accessory to the murder after the feet. A. McLIlv, Ill. D3, coroner. Roar. RUTHERFORD, foreman.” The above verdict is just what was expected by almost cverybodywho read the voluminous evidence. that has ap- peared in the city papers; and there can be scarcely the shadow of a doubt that the-samc-vct-dict will be returned .against Birchali when he is mod for- his life. Truc,.the evidence is purely circumstantial, but it: almost alwaysis in casesof murder, as there is very seldom an eye-witness of the crime. The prosecution against Mrs. Birchall will possibly be dropped, as there is nothing to show that she was implica- ted in the murder, or know anything about it, untilafter it: was committed ; and it is a wife's dutv to comfort and aid: her husband, no- matter-what he may have done. There is reason to fear that Bcnwell was not Bircltall’s first victim, as the bodies of two other menâ€"neither of whom could be identi- fied â€"â€"wcre found within the past three years in the same- swamp. Two of Birchall’s acquaintances, named Dud- lcy and Pickthall,. have disappeared quite recently ; anthaltliouglt the wile ot the latter has mceivel aztclcgram hearing her husband‘s signature from a. town in Arizona, its genuinencss is doubted. From Scotland yard, head- quarters of the London detectives, Cantos news of the mysterious disap- pearance of no fewer: than five English farmers who at different [lultts‘ crossed the ocean with considerable money in their possession, and there is a. strong suspicion that they have been mur- dered and their bodies made away with, as it is impOssible to otherwise account for the tact that no. clue to their fate can be discovered. The existence of a “syndicate” of confidence men and murderers: operating on both sides of" the Atlantic has been hinted at.and: some think that the conviction of Bin-h- all will lead to the dis-“insure of a whole l series of hitherto uni-asp 'ccd crimes. Mr. Barron‘s Speech. The iollowin: is .\l‘r. Join) A. thr- ron's speech before the l't‘C‘f-ltt. vote on the Orange IllC-ll'pOl‘uliou Bill: | Mr. BARRON. I confess to somei little disappointment that: the time al- lowed fnr discussion of the Orange Bill does not admit of my prnc media: to an- a l swcr. in my feeble tray, :h we]: as I can, i some of the arguments which were-ad; l duced to the Home on lt-rmcr occasions, - in I853. and in 1385; against. a similar ; measure. I confcgs to disappointment, ' owing tn the circumstances which were 3 treal Centre (Mr. Curran), himself, and which took place on those two occasions. It is true, Sir, he did not enlarge upon those arguments, but he brought them out and was successful, he intimated with others, in convincing the hen. gen- tlemen then in the House, that it was advisable to vote. against Orange incoro poration. Sir. I am rejoiced to know that time has done that which argu- ments failed to do on that occasion ; time has resulted in convincing the maâ€" jority of hon. gentlemen, I think, that it is desirable and advisable in the in- terest of justice. and only proper and. fair, that the Ornngemen ofthc country should receive incorporation. I need only refer to the ,fact that the hon. member for Montreal Centre himself, al- though he was foremost in opposing the Bill on the two occasions to which I have referred, ltas shown himself wil~ ling, the other night, to concede the principle of the Bill now before the Heusc. I amglad that it can no'long- or be argued in this House, that this House itself has not the inherent right to grant incorporation. 1 am rcjbiced that no longer can those difficult words “property and civil rights." as found in the British North America Act. he looked upon as formingr an obstacle to incorporation by this House. I am al- so rejoiccd to know that no longcris the argument made in this~House that the Orange Society is an illegal society. Still more not I rejoiced to know that the word “secret,” which was applied in an obnoxious manner in the argu- ments addressed to the House in the years mentioned, is no longer used as an argument against the incorporation of this society. I am further rejoiced to know that it is not said on the floor of this House, on this occasion, that the fact that the Orange Society is a society for the advancement of the Pro- testant religion is,.thercforc, a reason why incorporation should not be had. I want to take this opportunity of say- ing that I, for one, and I know there ‘are many others like me, would not for‘ one moment longer belong to the Orange Society if we felt and knew that its- I’rotcstant'principles in any way inter‘ fercd‘ with the dealing out ofjustice to those who happen to be Roman Catho- lics or opposed to us in our religious views. I'havc said that the hon. gen- tleman who spoke against the Bill the other night and introduced an amend- ment, himselfadmittcd the principle of the Bill. But what did he do? He introduced an amendment which I am gladlto know the hon. gentleman who introduced the Bill, who has so skilful- ly managed it, and who has done so in a fair and candid way, speaking for the Orange- Society, refused to accept, and it is an» amendment which I think is a most insulting one. I desire to refer to the argument used the other evening, that the effect of incorporation by this House passing: this Bill would be to re- peal to a certain extent, if not entirely, a statute known as chapter 10 of the Consolidated Statutes of Lower Canada, which makes certain societies illegal. Let any hon. gentleman read the Bill now before the House, and he will see there is nothing whatever in itâ€"and the Bill is also a fac-similc of the For- cstcrs' Billâ€"repealing in any way pos- sible the Act to which I have referred, namely, the Act declaring certain secret societies to be illegal. But there is nothing: in this Bill which will in any way incorporate this society. except for benevolent purposes, and it is obvious that this [louse can pass this Bill with- out in any way interferingt with the laws of Lower Canada. Let tnc refer to the case of Let-anger r. Colonial Building: and Investment Association, which goes to prove the position I have taken. It was a case wherein the Col- onial Buildingr and InvesttncntAssocia- tion was incorporated by this Parlia- ment. It was granted power to hold lands and buy and rent houses,.and so forth. The Attorney General of the Province of Quebec petitioned against the Society, arguing that it was an ille- gal one, inasmuch as it should have been incorporated by the Province of Quebec, and contending that this Par- liament in granting such powers to the society was doing that which was ille- tzal. .Thc ms: was taken to the Privy Council in li'tuland. I will read to the House part of the judgment rendered : ‘- It was urg d that the operations of the company i-ivntravunnl the rovincial law. at the least in two respects, namely, in dealing in land. and in ariing in contrn~ vention ofthe Buildingr Acts of the l’rov- iner‘. It maybe granted that by the law ot'QnebcI: Corporations cannot acquire or 'hnld lauds without the consent of the . t‘rmvn. T'tis law was racing'tiscd by this i board. and held to apply to frrcign corpor- :ttions in the cm.- of the Chandlcre Gold Mining C‘anipany m. Desharats. it may also be assumml. for the purpose of this appeal, [h it the power to repeal or tn )dify this law falls within No. l3 of section 9‘: of the British North America Act, viz : Property and civil rights in the Province, and belongs exclusively to the Previncial Legislature : so that the Dominion Parlia- ment could not c «n!.-r powers on the corn- pany'to override it. But the powers found in the Acts. of incorporation are not neces- l of mortmnin, which does not absolutely prohibit corporations trom acquiring or holding lands. but only requires. as a con- dition of their doing so. that they should have the consent of the Crown. If that consent be obtained. a corporation does not infringe the Provincial laws of mort- main by acquiring and holding lauds. What the Act of incorporation has done is to create a legal and artificial person with capacity to carry on certain kinds of business which are defined. within a defined limit, viz., throughout the Dominion." That is what I say this Bill docs. “ Amongr other things, it has given to the association power to deal in land and buildings ; but the capacity so given only enables-it to acquire and hold lands in any Province, consistently with the laws of that Province relating to the aetptisitiou and tenure of lands.” Further on the decision says : “ The object was merelyâ€"-â€"" Speaking of the judgment in a previous case, “â€"-to point out that a corporation should only exercise its powers subject to the law of the Province, whatever it might be in this respect.” So I say that by the incorporation of this society, as it is proposed to be done, this Parliament will incorporate it sub- ject to the laws of the Province,.aml only to such an extent can a corporate body carry on its business. The amend- ment proposed by the hon. member for Montreal Centre (Mr. Curran) is, as I have said, one not acceptable to the Or- ange body in this country. It is to add? a clause restraining them from holding processions in any Province where there is a law against processions, or where there may be adaw hereafter against them. There is nothing in this Bill whatever authorising the Or- ange Society to hold- processions, and' so it is entirely unnecessary for the hon.- gentlemau to propose the amendment- There is a law in the Province of Que- bec, affecting Mentreal only, providing that a society such as this cannot hold". processions. That, provision will not be, interfered with in any way by this! Bill, and I assert without fear 'of corn tradictionâ€"and I do so for the benefit of those who have been asking my opin- ion on this questionâ€"tliat'tliat law will still remain the- law ; and when tllO' member for Mentreal Centre (Mr. Cur- ran) asked us to attach to this Bill his proposed amendment, be was only pro- posing to duplicate what is the present: law as regards the Province of Quebec,. because the provision which he seeks to have inserted by this House is that which is already the law, and that which will remain the law in the Pro- vince of Quebec. I say, therefore, that; this amendment is entirely unnecessary and uncalled for, and should not be at- tached to the Bill now before the House. The holll gentleman referred to the Crimes of Violence Prevention Act, in troduccdby the hon. member for West Durham (Mr. Blake), which is a D0< minion Act; but I think the hon. gen- tleman was a little unfair in the infor- cuce he drew, when he sought to make it appearJthat the Orange body was rc~ sponsible for the introduction of that; Act. On the occasion to which he re- ferredâ€"and I am sorry he referred to- it, because there was no necessityâ€"tho Orangcmcn were not the aggressors; but, on-thc contrary, they were acting, on the defensive from the beginning to the end, and were in no way whatever responsible for the sad event which took place at the time. I desire to refer to another matter by way of privilege, and 1 dose because‘thc hon. gentleman who spoke a few minutes before me referred to another matter concerning himself by way of privilege, I refer to an article which appeared in-the Empire ofSnt- urduy last, in which there was stated that there was a clique on this side of the House whose intention was, and whose efferts were directed to defeat. the Bill by pressing it to a vote on li‘ri~~ day night- I say tlint,.so far as I. an; Iconccrncd. that accusation is utterly . I..-.-__.WMâ€"_vw l i i l l false'and untrue from beginning to end. I. know that hon. gentlemen on this side of the House, at all events, will: know how anxious I have been time auda- uaiu to have-this Bill pass the Honch and-it was most Unjust and unfair. and I- would use stronger- language, if i Were permitted, in denial of the statement. which, so far as I am concerned,.0r any hon. gentleman is concerned, is abso- lutely false and untrue; In conclusion, I wish to say to- my friends in this- I-lousc, whrmnay in any way be guided by what I may say, that this Bill is nothing more or less than a benevolent: Bill. You-litight have any other naum attached to the Bill than that of the Orange Society, so long as you have the names of the gentlemen who are them set down as incorporators. Isay, Sir, that theohjcct is simply the same as the Bill which was before this House in the case of the Foresters Society, on- tirely and exclusively a benevolent one. As the hon. member for Montreal Cen- tre said,thcrc was nothing objectionable in the Bill itself. I hope, Sir, it will- not be said that this society, which. as .the hon. member for Montreal (Mr. Curran) stated the other night. vau a refined to by my luau. friend for )lou- eerily inconsistent with the Provincial luv 6 11ml 000.- Wi“ not‘be refused a measure . i i l i l t i
