Northumberland, it appears to have been
given truthfully and honestly. So far as 1
was individually concenic•J, I had no bene
11011 in coming 10 the conclusion that thew
men swore what they honestlybelieved to
be the truth, and what was the truth. If
there was a ntrs,IIeIlon, it was only on un-
important [[utters, and in no way affected
the veneral result. It u stud that these
men male large contributions, $150 and
1125, for political purposes. if you, Mr.
Speaker, hail been present and seen the men
you would without a moment's hesitation
have come to the conclusion that 4his story
was not correct. They were laboringniers.
One declared be bad • wife and large family,
and was living un his daily earnings, end hal
nothing to support himself with except his
daily- later. 1 loess' gave ev idence strong,
clear and distinct of the subject of his own
position, and as to whether it was 1 volun-
tary ooetribution o r not. He said :
•' 2023. hid you pay anything! •-1 sup-
pose I did.
2024. Do you radar you paid a farthing -
Yea, sir
2025. W ben `--I think on two different oc-
casions 1 gave a dollar.
2026. (In two different occasions you sub-
scribed • dollar on the re,Iuction of this in
debtelnea" Yes."
Some seven or eight years ago he sub-
scribed one dollar and som4 three years ago
he subscribed another doller,and yet we are
asked to believe that all at once he sub.
scribed $150 for political purposes. Mr.
i'loustent did not say that, and you will find
.m reading his evidence that Mr. 10uston
would not have given a farthing had he not
got the bridge.. What dos Will Brown say`
Does he say that he paid $150 for political
purposes! No. He w&. &.ked -
"2689. How long before this heal you

2696. Then an interval of 6 or 7 years
had elapsed before the first subscription of

ing on. whatever time that was.

these years that the party was in debt for

2698. A11 these years you hal not costri-
F4uted anything since the 42 contribution •
No, I had not.
And yet, sir, .11 at ooce, on the spur of
the moment, this man is said to have con-
tributed $150 to pay off the debt of the par-
ty. Even in that case, Mr. Speaker, I say
it s wholly unjustifiable that men in the
positions these men were in, applicanta for
• bridge and recommended by the commit
tee I have spoken of, should have been
asked to Hake these donations in reduction
of a debt for part of which the hon. mem-
ber for the riding was responsible. Now,
sir, the motion 1 propose to move w amend -

That is part of the evidence, anti only
part of the evidence, Mr. Speaker, that
shows the connection between the hon.
member for Fast Northumherland and this
committee, a committee recognized by hien,
• committee not appointed by him but
whose functions were well known to him : a
conn ittee to which he refers, according to
the evidence as it appears in the testimony
submitted to Parliament. an.1 to which he
referred every single applicant for an office
of the Murray Canal. I shall not deal with
all the charges because 1 feel they are too
lengthy and would take up too much time,
Ann 1 will leave that to other ventlemen
who may speak after me. I shall, however,
refer to the ch.e of Hedley Simpson. As
i have mentiosod, the charge with respect
to him was that he was appointed lighthouse
keeper at Pre.qu'lale 1 Dint, and that in
consideration of his being w Appointed he
paid the sou of 1200. That might all he,
