Defence Nominates the Prosecuting Connse! ---- Ottawa March 14.--The Government | ca side bas got caught in another attempt to manipnlate the Lumsden inquiry. They tried to foist on the Committee as counsel for the public a lawyer who had | ident already been committed to the contract- ors' side of the case, and sgainst Mr. Lumsden, The protest of the Conserva- tive aneepipes on the Committee were w and they resigned ina body from the Natrcatigin In the end the Bense prevailed, and The sitnation was that the Committee consisted of four Libera) and three Con- servative lawyers ; that the Transcontin- ental Commission was represented by an able lawyer, who represented the de- fence ; and that it was o to ap- point a lawyer to appear for the public, to press the charge made by Mr, Lums. den that there had been over-classifica- tion, First the lawyer of the Commis- sion made tus impudent claim that he represented the public. This was too absurd, and was rejected. Then the Conservative members claimed the right to appoint and instruct the counsel ap- pointed to represcnt the pablic. Everyone knows that it is the distin- guishing virtue of a lawyer to represent his client. Everything about hia atti- tode and course depends on who engages him. Now, the Liberals on the Com- mittee were desperately concerned to rove the charges fajse, t prove that Phere the contractors got $14,000 for s piece of work which Mr. Lumsden says was worth only $4,000, that §14,000 was the proper price. Con sahil wWerg. concerned: to fhe whole matter probed tb the fae Thus, if the Liberal members engaged a given lawyer, he would be commission- od by the defence ; ifthe Conservatives engaged the same man, he would be commissioned by the prosecution. Tho Liberals absolutely denied to the Conservatives this right, They insisted that the counsel for the prosecution must be appointed by the defence an bave the defence for his clents. There- upon the Conservative members retired from the whole thing. Then the Liberals went on to appoint Mr. Wallace Nesbitt, KR. C., with whom they had been negotiating. Now Mr. Wallace Nesbitt, k. C., a while ago was consulted by one of the contractors on the Transcontinental with whom Mr. Lumsden was at variance , and be gave an opinion cpeaeee the contractor and adverse to Mr. Lomaden, A mice person Mr. Nesbitt would have been to prove the charge that Mr, Lumsden was right and the contractor got too much monvy Tlie stir created by the protest made by Mr, Lennox, Mr. Barker and Mr. Croth- era, however, was such as to cause Mr. Nesbitt to change his mind and refuse toserve, Thereupon the Liberals ap pointed another lawyer--needlesn to say 4 strong Liberal. Thus the prosecution is in the hands of the defence. Puzzle: Find out how earnestly the prosecution will fight. LIBERALS FOR INDEPENDENCE.
