The matter had been brought before the proper tribunal, and the only point in the accusation to which the Court 1ishened was that which in- volved the employment of a. by -bidder in an auction sale which had taken place in connection with the affair. The ques- tionof the legality of by -bidders was one which had not been settled in Eng- land until 1867, and the Court .held that no wrong could be complained of unless the complainants proved that the by - bidder had acted to their detriment. This was the 'sole result of the so-called scandal. He ;spoke in glowing terms of the future of the Dominion, and express• ed a hope, ' that the people of ,Huron would prove in time to come as loyal to their Liberal Principles as they had done in the past.

One of the most constant complaints under the old system' was that continued interference was made by one Province I in the affairs of another. This evil was remedied. Eby ConfedelTa- tion. At co ifederation the limits be- tween local and general jurisdiction were distinctly defined. The powers granted to Local Legislatures were large, but he and his colleagues _ did not shrink from asserting that they had, visited • every part of their wide field of jurisdiction. He spoke of the license law as one which had created a great amount of interest, and the operations of which had been watched with keenness. The matter of effecting a change in the method of granting licenses, was one whichhad been pressed upon the attention of the Government both by dealers in '.ligp.or and friends of the temperance caese, and the change had been made! in the belief that it was for the country's good, and not for any purpose of political ad- vantage.
