H. J. Borthwick, M. A., Inspector of Public Schools, and member of the Board of Examiners in the city of Ottawa. . By virtue of his oftice of Inspector, he is Chairman of the City Board of Public School Examiners. It is against \‘r. Borthwick‘s conduct, as .member of the Board of Examiners, that the complaints were made. It was charged that, among other irregularities, Mr. Borthwick had orenod the examinaâ€" tion papers received from tne. Education Department before the appointed hour, contrary to official instructions, which reâ€" quire in all cases that each (;Ltirmn of the Board of Examiners, or other preâ€" siding Examiner, shall open such papers only at the legally appointed hour of commencing the examination of candiâ€" dates for certificates as teachers, and in the presence of the Board of Examiners and of the candidates to be examined. = [t was also charged that these, and other irregularities, had been practised by Mr. Borthwick trom 1871 to 1875, inclusive, whereby certain teachers in Ottawa had received > assistance or _ advantaga in their examipations ; not enjoyed by other _ candidates in _ the _ several counties and citiee of the Province of Ontario. _ These complaints having been made to me in proper form, by a responsible public school teacher, I felt it my dutyâ€"imposed upon mme by lawâ€"+t0 institute an investigation of them.« For this purpose, I appointed three L‘ouni}(sâ€" sioners, Dr. Hodgins (Deputy Supetinâ€" tendent of Education), Mr. H. L. Slitk, Finanee Report and othor Business M.A. |(Public School Inspector of the Coun‘y of Lanark), and Mr_P. Leâ€" Sueur (Member of the Qitawa Roard of Publio School Trustees, and Chair man of their School Maqugement Committee). ‘These gentlemen met: in Ottaws on Wednesday, the lst of Deâ€" cember, and, at sucoessive sittings during three daysâ€"employing able and reliable short hand writers to take down fully the evidence and proceedings. The Commis sioners have prenenlefi to me their report with the evidence, occupying alâ€" together 227 pages of foolscap . Tha‘ Commi‘ssicners have m<rely ite: ported to me their proceedings and the evidence taken by them, without expréssâ€" ing @ry opinion, but offering to do so BOArD 0F SCHOOL TBUST(ES, sbould I desire it. But I have not thought it advisable to iimpose upon themn so painâ€" ful a task, in a maiter in which [ am officially responsible. I have, however, referred the papers to the Central Com:â€" mittee of Examiners, on whose reeomâ€" mendation the certificates of some of the Feachers concerned in this case had been awarded, and in order to obtain the aid of their judgment in my dealing with the certificates irregularly and ©unfairly obâ€" tained. The Central Committee of Exâ€" aminers have discussed the whole quesâ€" tion, and its bearings upon examinations of Teachers throughcut the Province,. I herewith enclose, for your perusal, a copy of theiradmirable report ; but at present [ shall dgal with the case of Mr. Borth: wick, which, of course, did not come under the consideration of the Central Committee. _ I need not recapitulate the evidence taken by the Commissioners. The subâ€" stance of it was published in the newspaâ€" pers, and, is known to all parties conâ€" cerned, I will simply state the conclu: sions at which L have arrived from the perusal and consideration of the whole evidence. 1. From the evidence and admissions, it is clear that Mr. Borthwick unlawfully ?onod and showed, one or more of the xamination Papers before the appointed hour, or, even day, of examination. 2. It is also clear from the evidence and admissions, that Mr. Borthwick wrote, or caused to be written out on the blackâ€"board, and puf into the hands of candidates, slips of papers containing the answers to several questions of certain examination papers. 3. It is likewise shown h{ the evidence, as it might be naturally inferred, that by these helps and promptings, the candiâ€" dates wére more or less assisted in preâ€" paring their answers;, some of them apparently more than otuers ; and one of the candidates, (who was awarded by the Central ‘Board of Examiners the bigheost honours,) confesses to have been materâ€" ially aided in preparing answers to some of &xe qhestions by information received the night before the examination, through Mr. A. Smirl, a County Board examiner, to whom Mr. Borthwick had shown one or more of the examination papers. Mr. Smirl‘s ‘conduct was so reprehensible, that I must suggest to the County Council of Carleton not to gontinue him as examiâ€" ner. It is obvious fi these facts and cirâ€" cumstances that |the examinations of candidates for certificates of qualification as teachers of different classes have not been conducted gccording to law, and with fairmess, since 1871 ; that the certiâ€" ficates thus obtained are of inferior value to certificates fairly obtained in other cities and counties ; that injustice is there by done to teachers in other parts of the Province, f not even suspicion created as to the fairhess and thorouginess of ex amination By County or City Boards of Examiners. I do nof notice minor irregularities complai of and proved as to the man mer of conducting the examinations in question in the city of Ottawa; nor do I attribute any ‘corrupt motives to Mr. Borthwick, who seems to be very enerâ€" getic and tfdd!“ ul in his duties as inspector of the schools. But he has evidently desired to confer special favours upon teachers and candidates within his own jurisdiction, yet in unlitty injuring them ; and other members of the examining Board tp})ou to have been consenting, and therefore, responsible parties to sevâ€" eral of the irregularities of the chairman in these examinations. _ ' . Under these circumstances I feel myâ€" self compelied by duty, but with great THE BORTHWICK OHARGEs, vestigation at Ottawa. 1.

Mr. Y Barsse, granted. Mr. Rossrton took exception to the indiscriminate use of the public schools for other than the purposes prescribed by law. He thought that those at 'Ereaenn occupying the schools were only there on sufferance, and it was time to take deâ€" cisive measures to protect the school buildings from the wanton injury of irreâ€" spounsible parties, _ _ _ _ > > _ _ _Mr. Youxe contended that while others enjoyed the grivilego, it would be unfair to deny Mr. Jamieson his request. Mr. Barser did not take such extreme views as some members of the Board in regard to the use of the school buildings for the purpose sought. It migat not be strictly in accordance with law, yet if a guarantee to protect property was given, he could see no valid objection to grant the use of the school. Mr. Bevoaro was of opinion that it was wron% to use the schools for any other than lawful purposes, In the past much injury had been done to the buildings, and he thought it a pity, the moment new and handsome buildings were put up,â€" to have them used for other than school purposes. He would oppose the resoluâ€" tion. Mr. Kirsy thought until some. general measure were sdogt.el to stop the priviâ€" lege, it would not be right to refuse the request of Mr. Jamieson. _ f Mr. Rossrtsox moved in amendmm seconded by Mr. Buoirn, that the B views with apgmhensinu the use of the public schools for other than school purâ€" poses, as required by law, and would urge upon the School Management Committee the noccssity of taking imme dliats steps for removing the occupants of the present buildings. _ W On motion of Mr. Barssar, seconded by Mr. Youxrc, the School Management Comâ€" mittee were directed to define the duties of the Inspector and Principals of the different schools. .

The Board then adj>urned. The classical precinsts of the City Hall were yesterday possessed of more than usual interest, a large number of people being assemble 1 to learn what they could of the indecent assault upon the girl, Minnie Miils, which is exciting a great feeling of horror and indignation. In this they were disappointed, however, for owinil:o its being a legal holiday (the Epiphany) the case, as well as two others, was adjourned until today. It is not likely, however, that even should the same crowd make its appearance to day, they will %et. anything to l-ogny them for their trouble be{ond locked doors. As some doubts have been expressed regarding the accomplishment of the inâ€" human act, and as it can in no way effect the case as it now lunds,twe consider it only fair to our readers, to state that the story, as elsewhere related, is substantiâ€" ally correct, and that the ruffian was only too successful in his dastardly and brutal act. This is thq statement of the medical gentlicmay who has been in attendance upon the little girl, whose life is even now in danger. } _ L eee ‘The prisongr has nothing in his upPenr- ance that would indicate the brutal:tenâ€" dencies of his mind. On the contrary his features are that of an inbelligon_tAwelL educated gentleman, with bright black eyes, rather 3rominont nose, clean shved face with a slight moustache. â€" His .fie might be taken to be about thirty. He has a well built athletic looking appearâ€" ance, and has been married about fourâ€" teen monthsg. The medical gentleman already alluded to, gives it as his opinion that no druaken man could have accomâ€" plished the act, and can only accouut for its being done by such a man as the prisoner on the ground that he must have been insane. His appearance in the dock, however, did not indicate any insanity, for beyond a certain restlessness of the eye, which might very readily be accounted for in his position, he was ser- fectly calm Ix_zd collected, and listened to the coaversation of ;Mr. Lusignan, Seoreâ€" tary to the Minister: of Inland Revenue, who sat by him as a friend, with the most perfect nonchalance.. _ Very great excitement prevails over the case, a.ns the authorities are fully on the alert against any awkward demonstration of violence, of which there are not a few mentioned threats. » Much sympathy is expressed, not only for Mr. and Mrs. Mills, but for the wife of the prisoner in her far away western home, and the result of to morrow‘s trial is looked forward to with interest.

He had come out purely in the interests of the city without any object of his own, ;mi 1 would much rather have retired into pri< vate life bad he been allowed to do so. He, too, like Mr. Fellowes, would have done all he could to serve the interests of the ratepayers, had they been pleased to elect him. He had endeavoured to avoid levoryt.hinf like ill t'eeliug1 in the oont.ufi and concluded by hoping that all woul end well, and thanking once more those who had bestowed their votes and confiâ€" dence on him. (Cheers.) & Mr. Rowsz said he did not suppose that he woul1 be called upon for a speech, but would thank them kindly for once more Ehoing him at the top of, the poil. Had | e consulted his own wishes he wouldâ€"not again have been a candidate, nor been put in the honourable position he now occupied, without the trouble of & personal canvass. , He intended t»give. the Mayor his heartiest support in o%-'. ing out the,. work of the Council, and sure that he (the Mayor) would not hive any trouble in presiding over them. He trusted they would not blameâ€"their Chiéf: Magistrate, if they did not make imj)rove- ments during 1876, for they covld not have improvements and economy both.. He was afraid there would be more grumbâ€" ling at the end of the pre€ent year than there bhad been in the past, for the build, ings which had been erected, and other improvements which were being effected, though costing the city a great amount of money, had been the means of providing a continuance of work long after a time when work would have ceased. He contrated the position of the mass of the working people of: Otawa with that of the same class in the cities of Montreal and Toronto and said that was, where they were _ findâ€" ing the good of the improremments ev@Ry now, and he believed they had got %ood value for their monsy. He, therefore, claimed that if they had beem, burdened, the burdens had fallen on the rich rate* payers, and the poor had benefitted. He thought that toey might very well let improvements have a rest for a while, and trusted that the Council would start with the question of economy. As he had done in the past so. fhe~resi of Wellington Ward might éxpedt do in the future. (Loud chéers.) ~ * . Mr. LeSusuR was then loudl! called for, and on presenting himself, said that when at the nomination he had seen no less and generously offering theéir services, without hope o‘f”poouniurttnumfion, to Wellington Ward, he could not help thinking what a blessed. country/. what a blessed city, and eufeohfly what & blessed.
