To close my queries will ask if there is

NOR says there is. = aQ,
There can be but one answer to tile
questions asked by our correspondent
above. There have been various ruhors
afioat for some time concerning g the in
eligibility Of one Of the sitting members
of the present Legislature, and these rll'
mors have doubtless reached the eas OF
many members of both Houses. The
Legislature owes it to itself and I'd the
people of the State to order an investiga-
ton of the case. A grieyous wrong is
done to the actual residents of the pate
when a man. not resident, is permitted
to make laws for the people and neutrai-
ize. by his fraudulent vote, the voice pr a
man who is a boni fde citizen and who
represents constituency OF such--7ED.
