During the discussion in the Assembly tho day
before Yesterday on the subject OF certain reporters
aud reporters desks which were voted nuisances.
it was asserted that one man. named Paige, VINO
WIS denounced as bogus reporter by member Of
the Assembly, had drawn his stationary order $500.
which he had pocketed and taken himself away,
and that he was subsequently appointed collector
on the canal somewhere in the western part OF the
State, by the Canal Board.
The SPEAKER stated at the time that no suoh or
der had been given, and when his attention was
again called to the subject yesterday, he said that
an order had been given TO Paige but that it was
granted by the old Clerk Dir. Richardson, no doubt
inadvertently in the excitement previous to the or
ganizatiOn of the House.
The Speaker was mistaken in both instances.
The House was organized on the 26th OF January,
and the order for Mr. Pages stationery was granted
according to the book on the 18th, and stands a.
order No. 8. Mr.. Richardson informs mo that ho
granted no order and authorized none to any per-
son whatever and that he does not do public acts
inadvertently, all which goes to show that ths
Speakers remarks on the subject were decidedly
" inadyertent."
