At a meeting in Montreal to dis’T
cuss tlie Riel matter a petition was
adopted - similar to that of tho.La-
chine meeting, asking for a commis
sion to examine into Rial’s mental
condition, A number °f the chief
organisers of Sunday’s meeting went
up wItJFcoprefTof resolutions passecT
at the meeting at Champ de Mars,
bntthey were voted down by a large
majority. Mr. Desjardins, M. P.,.
who addressed the meeting, depre
cated the fact that some French
Canadians were trying to make this
a riational question, and warned
them to be careful in the matter.
. One of the jurymen in the. recent
trial-of Riel at Regina, writing.to a
friend in this city, says “I found
Riol clever and intelligent. I am
sure that, any one w-ho-followed the
evidence closely could not come but
to the same coifclusion'that we did.
As regards his insanity our opinion
wus that it. ^vas feigned; iiv fact,
there was no evidence'-lwhatever to
prove that he was not of sound
mind.”
John W. Astley, the Prince Ar
thur surveyor, who was one of Riel’s
prisoners,..seucls from Regina under
date of Au.gust 2, the following do
cument bearing, upon Riel’s connect
ion with the iialf-bieeds. He writs
“I enclose a copy of a paper sign
ed at my ^request by the priests of
the districts mentioned. Ijneant to
publish., .it sooner,, but thought 1
wouln-w^ttr^Uhtil'RiBl'a trial wgs-
over. It may help’ to'gain ascertain
amount of help- and sympathy for
-tlie poor, unfortunate men’s families,
“but iii the main,’”‘w:ill prevent ajiy
foolish, ’sympathy to arise i if favou r.
.of the.arch* traitor Louis Riel;‘ who-
■deserves the sympathy of fid man.-”
and said he was in favbr of mercy
for all and asked them to sign a pe
tition which he would submit to
them, asking not for commutation of
sentence, but simply to haye an en
quiry as to Riel’s responsibility and
the legality of the court, which Hon.
vvm. McDougall, an authority on
the subject, contested. The petition
asked for the appointment of a com
mission to examine into Riel’s men
tal condition. Mr. Royal, of Mani
toba, spoke of the justification for
the first rebellion in Manitoba, but
warned the people that there was
nothing in common between the two,
This rebellion waaaetuaied-l^t-crims.
inal folly, and they could not plead
the ..same grievance, as These very,
half-breeds bad already obtained
land or scrip in Manitoba. He paid
a high tribute to the bravery of the
half-breeds, wljo had not skirked a
conflict with the flower of the Can
adian volunteers, even when the
latter outnumbered: them 25 to 1.
He closed by warmly supporting the
petition for medical commission. * ”

ahad grievances, they had gone the
wrong,way-in getting them redress
ed. Other Pipyinces had .their,
grievances, but they had been redres
sed in a constitutional- manner. He„
said it was not the case that the
Metis had been persistently urging
their ^’demands on the Government.,
for years past. When -Sir‘Richard

received addresses from the clergy
