40. Charles Mondelet,- the son
Of the Coroner for the district of Montreal
was formerly lawyer at Three Rivers
and edited the Argus" an electoral and
radical paper, during the elections OF 1927,
which, among other patriotic sentiments,
contained the following, in the number
dated October in that year: We know
wellrto what we are exposed, in espousine
so openly the peoples cause in place
where the Government officers are so pow
erful, and have such tremendous innu-
ence. = Far from repenting
of our past conduct, we are ready to face
the horrors of poverty rather than waver
in the course in which we have been guild
ed by the honor of 100 loyal and true
Canadians" Such was the language OF
Mondelet in 1927. The next year he was
dragged at the risk of his life, on bad ice,
TO Quebec, 10 answer an accusation Of
libel preferred against him by the local
Government. In 1882 he settled in Mon
treal, and was the writer of an article
which appeared in the .Minerue and Yin,
dictator newspapers, subscribed, Pensez
Y blen," which averred that the Legisla-
tive Council was a public nuisance which
the Canadian people ought to get rid Of.
For the insertion of this article in their
respective papers, the late DR.. Tracey, then
EDITOR of the indicator, and Mr.. DIVER
1ay.(now at Burlington), publisher at that
period OF the .Hinerve, were dragged TO
Quebec, and sentenced by. the Legislative
IouncIl to be imprisoned during pleasure.
