charges of fraud brought against him by
Conservative leaders in the affair of the
Lachine Canal. 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.

Hon. O. Mowat, who spoke of the
audience which he addressed as sur-
passing even the magnificent demonstra-
tions held in honor of Reform principles
and leaders at Kingston, Forest and
Unionville. 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,
