Gamey, member for the electoral district of Manitoulin, in- volving the independence of the House and the honor and privileges of its members, and containing a di- rect accusation that the Honorable James Robert Stratton, a member of this House, and a member of the Executive Council of this Province; one Captain John Sullivan, one D. _A. Jones and one Frank Sullivan, did attempt to bribe the said Robert R.

The Attorneyâ€"General had admitted witness could defy the in- structions. There should be no illus- ory clauses in a document of this kind, and legislation should be adopted which would make the clause a truthful one. Mr. Foy quoted Sir John Boyd and Chief Justice Falconbridge in support of the contention he was ad- vancing. He preferred the Commit- tee on Privileges and Elections for many reasons. The House had a duty to perform in this matter, and should perform it, even though it be unpleasant. - The Attorney-General had said the Committee on Privileges and Elecâ€" tions was practically obsolete.

Objections to Draft. It Was claimed by Liberal speakers that the Committee on Privileges and Elections would bring in partiâ€" san reports. If that were the Case, it Would mean that men Charged with a high duty to take evidence under oath, would ' ther the testimony, Would not be true This was a serious charge to make. It was preposterous that any gent- leman would violate his duty, and not give a verdict according to the evidence adduced. This Was not a question of law, but of fact. 'Judges were not the best persons to come to a sensible view on an ordinary question of fact, and Mr. Foy cited the West El- gin investigation as illustrating his point. The s; eaker said that several members of the Government were im- plicated, and yet the judges were in- structed to investigate the point of the Provincial Secretary only. What wog‘ld be the result of havâ€" ing two judges, when the question of the admissability of evidence would arise. If they did not agree, the one who negatived the evidence would prevail. This would be more convenient for the Government than to have one judge, or three. There should he directions to the ego judges to clear up doubt! about the admissability of evidence. 1113 pro- posed method is-to give them power to throw out evidence.

Jones than it did of the Provincial Secretary. There ought to be an opportunity given of making this right. There ought to be no loophole. When the instructions go before the judges, they would take them as a hard, cast iron document. The legislature was competent to judge on the evidence, whether a man was bribed in the manner charged.
