t © Mr. McKexzis succeeded, thanks to the interruptions from the other side, im raising several points of order, against the decision of the Sreater, on one of which he appealed to the House, and had the verdict given against him. The point was this: Mr. McKexzne charged Ministers with having «* builied and threatened ‘ the Opposition ; Mr. Berrsrose raised the point of order that his language was unparhamen Mr. Srzaxen decided affirmatively, ud? McKexzie appealed, when ‘the decision| of the Seraxer was sustained. As in all «* family â€" jars," mutual explanations followed : Ministers wiliingly confessed that the Opposition had not been absolutely boorish ; the mamber for Lambton had been in fact the very pisk of eourteons and conscientions .

Mr. Hortos "laid himself out" for the purpuse of monopolising the sitting, to the exciusion of the consideration of the Insurance Bill, which the Government were soxious to press upon the attention of the House. It was bad enough when the Clerk had to read, on the request of Mr. Horrox, the minutes of the previous day‘s proceed: ings, filling several pages ot clusely printed matter ; but when the same performance was required to be gone throughin French, there ‘ was something Blueâ€"Beardish in the torture which the member for Chateauguay IM‘ contrived to inflict on the unoffending Clerk. Fortunately for the latter, the: opportune ‘ arrival of the printed minutes, enabled Â¥o.‘ Breaxes to rule out this request, and the Clerk was spared. The member for Lambâ€" ton, however, set himself in order by moving the adjournment of the House, and went at it with a will in vindication of the.rights of Parliamentary minorities, and in severe deâ€" nunciation of the cecupents of the Ministerial benches. * « It is about time that our correspondentg on the railway route question should give up their wordy war, as it has mainly degenerat ed to a mere personal quarre!, in "which â€" the public can take bet little interest.

Yours, &c., Examixen. Farptay HB OTTA&AWA XIMKE, MAY 2i Hon. Mr. MLLLER desired to make \a few observations before this division was taken on the question before the House. | The subject of the criminal law was one of the highest importance, and if he had not earâ€" lier joimed in the discussion, it was not beâ€" cause he did not tike deep interest in it, or did not fully realize his responsibilities in lon. Mr. TESSIER thought this House did not generally discuss enoufh the measures brought betore it. . He could not admit that this House is only an echo of the other House, without any of the responsibilities that always attach to reasoning and reasonâ€" able members of the Legislature. He wished to take nothing on trust, in matters of legisâ€" lation. He entirely dissented from the proâ€" priety or wisiom of passing Bills of this importance at randorm, and without time to examine them before they are placed on our Statute Books. Our codification of laws for the Province of Quebec, was distributed from one end of the Province to the other, to receive the criticiem and remarks of all the best legual minds of the Province, and see the happy results and the general satisfaction which this code has given, but which crude and undigested laws nevercan receive, He felt this railroad speed in passing laws was the great cause of all our troubles. Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL was quite willing to be guided in this matter by the action of the House. His hon. friend had said that, perlurs, under this law the best boy in a achool might be treated cruelly for stealing apples, and when informed that it is the Jaw in the Maritime Provinces, he says then let it be, tor there is no necessity for changing it. This removes one objection that we are introducing any novelty or arbitrary Act into thut Province. He betieved these aws would not be enforced arbitrarily. If there was any possibility of adding to their usefuilness by their being placed in the: hands of a Comâ€" mittée for revision, he would not otject to it,â€" bu;l-e believed these laws should not have any" other starting point than from profesâ€" sionalâ€"men. Hon. Mr. LETELLIER oe ST. JUST objected to pass this Bill, enacting penalties that are obsvlete, and never in the memory of aoy hon. member of this House have such been aitempted to be enforced. It is too much io a«k to pass this Bill without examâ€" iming it. If our consent is necessary to Euo such :neasures, xe ought to get the Bills betore the last days of the Session, when all the Bills are crowded down upon us. â€" There is no absolute necessity for this measure, until we can have time to examine its clauses during the next Session of Parkhament. The fault of the delay is not with us, if fault there be, but with the Ministers who have the control of this legislation. _ Hon. Mr. CHAPAISâ€"The object of this Bill is not to enact new laws, but to assimiâ€" late the existing Criminal Laws of the differâ€" ent Provinces of this Dominion. The same difficulty will exist next Session that prevaile toâ€"day. We find it requires experience to perfect the laws of any country, and it is only by time that they can be made pertect. The senaibilities are all on the side of the crimiâ€" uals, not on behalt of outraged society. The punishments, &c., enacted in some clauses of the Bill, have already existed on the Staâ€" tutes, and have not been altered in the past. Why would they be more so in the future ? (Great crimes require exemplary puaishments, Suciety is always safer to have the remedy in its own hands, than be at the mercy of the malefactors. Far be it from him to wish to circumscribe the powers of this hon. House in the forcing of this Buil, or any other, upon this House; against the wishes of a majority in it Hon. Mr. McCULLY sgid if it was the law there now it .would be the law whether we passed this Bill or not, therefore we should take time to look into the matter and get a code up worthy to carry out the object proposed. Then we would not . have to be at the expense of printing this whole law, and distributing it over thof)omimon, when it will have so soon to be brought before us again to be amended. : Hon. Mr. McCULLY said the feeling of Nova Scotia was not faverable to the introâ€" duction of those measures, They are a g.r«ty severe cole taking them altogether. here is not a firs; class school, but some of the boys might be brought under the operation of that law, and ‘disgraced for lite, for merely taking a few apples, and this was as liable to happen to the best boy in the gchool k uy others, _ . t _ § ~.. . "~~" _ Hon. Mr. CAMPBELLâ€"â€"~It has been the law in Canada for twenty years, and it is the law now in New Brunswick and Nova Scoâ€" tiA. . Hon. Mr, CAMPBELL was glad his hon. friend had taken that position, because it would dispose of the whole question. The Minister of Justice has said that they will not be alle to agree upon a Bill to pass conjointly with these measures, to stay the operation of them until after the next Sesâ€" sion of Parliament. The Goverament feel that they have done everything they can do to make these Bills perfect, and they can only be amended after actual experience of their working. ‘The only practical way is to take them upon the authority of professional men and wait until defects are shown before they. are amended. _ The second reading of the Bill intituled # An Act respecting offences against the per bon‘" ‘being called, .. . : : =_~. .: f THE CAKAUIAN PARLIAMENT Satcrpay, May 16, 1868.

He had heard nothing to induce him to oppose the second reading ot the Bill, buton the contrary he believed the arguments in favor of passing the criminal laws under consideration in the manner aeked by the Postmasterâ€"=General were sound and unanswerable. The oppoâ€" nents of the Bill say that it is disrespectful to the Senate to be called upon at this late peâ€" riod of the Session to pass this and like imâ€" portant mersures, but might not the same thing be said of the other branch of the Leâ€" gislature? The Bills relating to criminal justice were passed in the House of Commons with even less «ebate than uw{ have excited here.

Some hov. gentlemen had contended that the creation ot the criminal code for the |Dominiou should have been referred to a Special Commission of the ablest legal minds in the country, and that if this had been done, there would be little objection to asking Parliament to adopt the result of the labors of | such a commission in the manoer now propoâ€" sed. Supposge these bills had come before us from such & commission, what hon. member would approve of submitting ther to a apecies of legislation whereby they might be altered in every clause to suit ‘the different views of the seventy professional members of this House ? Lawyers did not require to be told that in many cases even simple verbal alterations, which nprnred of no consequence to layâ€" men,. might destroy the syinmetry, score and character of a whole Bill. He argued that the‘ criminal laws were euentialfy of that class which could not be submitted toâ€"general llinkerim.:, but could be much more safely ‘adopted on the responsibility of the Depart ment of Justice, and the trained legal minds that had prepared them. But if these Bills had not been formally referred to a commisâ€" sion, it was well known they had been framed by a number of legal gentlemen of the highest standing, atâ€"the head of whom was the Minister of Sustice. Therefore they have in fact, if not in name, come to this Legislature from & commission who have spent months of patient labor on their revision. Would it not then be injudicious in the haste of going through committee to muie illâ€"conâ€" sivzered alterations* â€" Would it be a wise and proper mode of legislation that every member of the House on such a purely legal subject as the formation of a criminal code should be at liberty to make alterations to suit his own tmrsiculnr views? It had been said that the proposed code was too voluminous, and neomrnrieon had been drawn with the criminal laws of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, which were spoken of as models of brevity and simplic.ty. _ He had trequently heard it regretted in our Courts of Justice that this brevity was secured only by the loss of that precision of generality, which was necessary to the comprehensiveness and punâ€" ishment of all classes of offences. _ Besides, the peculiar construction otf our laws is not so favorable to a ready and precise applitaâ€" tion of the decisions of the great minds of the English Bench zs \ is desirable. The Bills before the Senate being a transâ€" cript, zo far ag suited the circumstances of the country, of the English law, the advantage by the proposed change must in this respect be manifest. Although much may be said in tavor of simple law, 1t is not alway« possible to have it simple and safe. . Was it expected that in the formation of the" criminal code for the Dominion, that because our laws were brief and simpleâ€"no matter how 1imperfect, they should be taken . as our models, in preference to those which had been evolved by time and exrerience, l and were the productions of the ablest lefal | minds in Britain. He would not undervalue the‘clever men the Maritime Provinces had produced, but to taik" of comparing our. criminal code to that of Enfilaud. and setting it up a#za model for the guidance of this Parâ€" . liament on the inauguration of a system of: laws for the Governinent of tfour millions of peuple, was absurd." Such a course might{ please the local prejudices of some small communities, but this was not the object: the: Legislature had in view. Where could we find & better model for our criminal code than that of Great Britain? It has been said that much of the Criminal Law of that country would not apply to Canala. He readily admitted that, but it is not proposed by the Bills to apply the whole English criminal code to this country, On the conâ€" trary, we are only asked to accept such portions as are applicable to our circumstances. He thought this House should do, as had been done elsewhere, and take these Bills on the respqusibility of the Department of Justice. They will not come into operation till the beginning of next year, and there would be no hesitation hereafter in amending them it they worked justly. They were not asked to pass laws which would be unaiterable, like those of the Medes and Persians. We want a uniform codeâ€"our present codes are discordant and imperfest. The sooner we make the first step, the sooner will we arrive at a sale and svccessful result, Objections have been taken to particular clauses of these Bills. It would not be an easy task to frame a criminal code which would notin some mipor parti¢ulars be ibly capable of a tyrannical operation. 'Ilhe cases supposed are extreme cases, and the objections only of ‘I minor character. Similar objections might be urged against any law that came before us. He was therefore willing to throw the whole responsitality of the Bills before the House on the‘Department of Justice, where the other branch of the Legislature had left it, and where hbe thought the Senate would be wise in allowing it to rest. | Hon.

Before proceeding with the orders of the day, Mr. McKENZIE withed to call the attenâ€" tion of the Government to an extraordiaary statement made by the chairman of the Grand Trunk Railway Company at the recent generâ€" al meeting in London, ‘That statement was to the effect that considerable additional Govâ€" erament assistance was expected by the comâ€" paoy, and that the Minister of Finance would shortly arrive io town to arrance the matter. Bir J. A, MACDONALD stated that there had been no negotiations whatever upon any such subject, after which the mutter dropped. The discussion was maintained for some time longer in angry tones, and with much animation, between Sir J. A. MACDONALD, Hon. Mr. HOLTON and Hop. Mr. #08E, and finally it was agreed that the second reading of the Bill should stand over until after four o‘clock, and the subject dropped. BAY OF FUSDY. + On the motion of Mr. BURPEE an address was voted asking for copres of surveys, plans, &c., with reference to the censtructivn of a canal between the Gult of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy. Mr. McKENZLE supported Mr. Holton‘s disâ€" vlaimer, which be thought should be ‘acceptâ€" ed. He thought thit the threst bad come from the other sideâ€"in the hint that the House might be forced to sit for a week to discuss the Bill. Mr. McKENZIE moved an adjournment,and continued at some leugth to mainta.n the neâ€" cessity of granting tims to consider +o imâ€" portant a mâ€"asure, which be was surprised to fiud brought forward when so few members remained in town. _ fHe complained that language had been applied to the Opposition which was ruled out of order when used against Ministers. Hon. J. ROSE said that the Government could not always consent to admit that public business was being carsiec1 on by sufferance of the mâ€"mber for Cbateauguay., They had enâ€" deavored to meet him in a.conciliatory way, but could not consent to be intimidated by threats, as bad been used towards them that morning, (Mr. Holtonâ€"â€"no, 20), of obstruction, «nnoyance, and procrastination. . * Hon. Mr. ROSE continued. , These obstrucâ€" tions could only delay the prorogation. â€" The House would, if necessary, sit till Monday in order to give an opportunity : of pronouncing on tie Bill. The SPEAKER having declared the conâ€" yereation out cforder, _* _ _ * Bir J. A. MACDONALD asked if the momâ€" ber for Chatesuguay bad not threatened to talk till two o‘clock. Hon. wr. HOLTON demanied that the minutes be read in French. He bad desired, as a matter of fayor, that the second reading of the Insurance Bill should be deferred until after two o‘clock, in order to give himself time to enquire into the law and practice of Parliaâ€" ment in connection with this meacure. He had made this a maiter of private request beâ€" fore the Hous: met, but as it had been deâ€" clined, he was prepared to avail himself of all the rules of the House to vindicate the rights of the minority, and secure time for the cxamâ€" imation of the point referred to. â€" â€" Mr. BELLEROSEâ€"We have them in French. Hon, Mr. HOLTONâ€"Order. I ask for the reading of the minutes in French,. We caa have this discussion afterwards. Sir J. A. MACDONALD denied the right of the hon. member to make such a demand, and the objection having been sustained by the SPEAKER, * Hon, Mr. HOLTON asked that the minutes of the previous day should be read, on the ground that they had not been printed. His object was to prevent the forcing through of the Insurance Bill. The minutes having bsen read by the Clork in Kagligh, â€" _: ..‘.%5 Hon, Mr. HOLTON asked that the amendâ€" ments to the Patents‘ Bill, referred to in the minutes, shou‘!d also be read. Wenxzspay, May 20, 1868. The SPEAKER took the chair at eleven o‘clock. EXCISE DUTIES OX SPIRITS AND PETROLECM. The House went into Committee of the Whole on a Bill to impose excise duties on spirits and petroleum, _ ~ Hon. Mr. DICKSON in the chair. Hon. Mr. WILMCT thought it was entireâ€" ly wrong to place aduty upon oil, as light was one of the necessamies of life, and it entered into the consumption of every tamily. A part of the duty imposed upon many of our imports had to be pad by the person who sent the aruc‘es, but in â€" this case the whole duty would have to come from our own people. It would operate,. very injuriously against our own industrial eâ€"tablishments. He knew one establishment in New Brun« wick for the manafacture of the Albertine coal oil, which would ‘have to be shut up, ln\'l' the operatives discharged. _ < Mon. Mr. CHRISTIE said this tax was actually about fifty per cent. upon the origiâ€" nal price of the vil, und it would operate very se\:srely.gpon the poor people of the country. Hon. Mr. CA MPBELL said the expense of light fur a small family was not much, thereâ€" fore this tax of five cents per gallon upon oil would not be felt very severely. » The Bill was then agreed to, when the SPEAKER having resumed the Chair, it was read a third time and passed. . on The Bill intitauled * An Act respecting the militia and detence of the Dominion of Canaâ€" da," was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time at the next sitting of the House. Tue House then resolved itself into Comâ€" mittee of the Whole on the Bill intituled “,n Act respecting the Governorâ€"General, the Civil List, and the salaries of certain public func tionaries, (Hon. Mr. MALHIOT in the chair), was read a third time, passed, and sent down to the House of Commons without amendâ€" ment. f Aiso, "An Act respecting trade marks and industrial designs,"‘ was passed through its several stages with some améendments, and ordered to be sent down to the House of Commons. _ The tollowing Bills were" discharged from the orders of the day on motion ofriion.
