PRIVILEGE. .
Mr. 41BERTSON said he rose to ,correct a most grroneot.s
representation which had been made of his speech by a Mor.‘ine
Newspaper, Which, he believed, bad taken the oppurtunt:y v.l.
folly to misrepresent him.
The SPEAKER inquired whether the Hon. Member inteltb4
to connect these observations with, or found thereupon any motions
for bringing the person so offending before the Baer? lhe proposi-
tion, so Lc as it went, so as to enable the Hun. Member to set his
opinions in a right point of view before the House, was, he arpre-
hended, quite informaL But if that Hen. Member coupled with
his complaint that he had been misrepresented, tine aggravating
circumstances of this writer having wilfully misrepresented
then be considered ft would become his duty to conclude with a
motion, so as to assert the violated privileges of the House, and ob-
tain satisfaction from the party so offending.
Mr. RORER I'SON said he would only repeat, with-
out mentioning any name, that he bad been vet),
properly misreertsented, and it placed him in very
awkward circumstances before the House. Of the re-
' port in that paper he would not complain; for, by that report, 'he
was content to be judged, and would stand or fail by what was
attributed to him in his speech. But it was of the comments that
had been made on thine sentiments, which Were put, tq Suit the
writer's purpose, into his mouth, though be had never uttered
them. Indeed, in these last, be was represented as having said the
very reverse of his own sentiments.
Mr. HUME .spoke to order, and assured the 11 in.
Member, that Were this a ground upon which a Member
might feel justified in corning before the House to make his com-
plaint as to a breich of privilege, he was so unfortunate as to be in
a situation to justify his applying for the interference of the House,
almost every day during the Session--(Loud laughing).
The CtiANCLLLOIt of tt e EXCHEQUER felt it
his duty to speak to the point of order. As tar as le-
,petted himself, he should be glad to be set tight as to
any answer made by the Hon. Member on a former
evening, and which it was possible might have been misconceived,
but he submitted that it would not be orderly for that Hon. Mem-
ber this evening to take up the time of the House. in expliiining
bow far a newspaper had misrepresented the sentiments hr had
made use of several nights past—(Hear.)—lf he meant to follow it
up by a motion, it would materially alter the case.
Mr. ROBERTSON then said, he should move that
the Editor of the Journal in question, should be hi-Might
to the Dar of the House. He had to complain that the
Editor of th.s n.:wspeper had argued against his speech,
and put into his mouth assertions of the most contra-
dictory kind, and imputed the contradiction to him : thus he had
represented him as saying that this country was ruined by our
inn-
ports; and again, as having said that we were ruined by Our ItX•
one. Now, here be had been quite misrepresented, and here he
would say that the misrepresentation seemed altogether intentional,
sa on a former occasion this paper bad nearly in the same way—
The
SPEAKICR interrupted his proceeding further. What bad
been done ua a former occasion could mot with propriety be brought
before them, so all to induce them to infer that this misrepresenta-
, don was intentional. I eosin, said die Speaker, perhaps to apologias
to the House far not having before interposed.
Mr. ROBERTSON then withdrew his proposition far ecnipii-
ling the attendance of the Printer at the bar of the Huusi.
