Mr. Foy, Attorney General in t the Whitney Government and who was for -a time, Comroissioner of Crie,vn Lands, in a speeoh delivered :by hina in Kingston lest Saturday night, made a very serious charge against his predecessor in office. The gravamen ,of the charge is that a firm of lumbermen became pos- eessed of a. section 'of pine timber twelve , by eighteen miles square. and that they did not pay anything for the e,ame or if they did there.is no record- in the books of the De- partment of any value having been xeceived for it. This is the first real • 'charge of daministrative dishorfeety that has eever been made against tbe Liberal Government daring their 33 years of office. It is a eharge of isueh a serious hatuee that the party cannot afford:Le rest under it. . It is but fair to say that Hon. Mr. Davis, who was in charge of the De- partment wben the steal was said to be made, denies the accuracy of Mr. Foy's statement. Mr. Davis has at; ways been regarded by the p little as an honest and hontrable man fled althouagh he is not now in Pa. lia- ment flie- owes it to hbateelf, and the public to dear up this matter.'
