fairs and Attorney General. Tie charges are
larger and more extended than in Discussion last
week The Ministers have made these illegal ex-

indemnity introduced. What does the indemnity

That they have spent money in defiance of the
Legislature. Have heard report Of Committee Of
Finance, and charges in substance admitted bv
Ministers in regard to financial management; they
have disregarded the Audit Act, Coinage Act, the
Loan Act, Article 10 Of the Constitution Section
of the Appropriation Bill: every law that they
found IN their way threw aside and broke to pieces

Loan Act Is confusing and open to such interpre-
tation, especially as they wanted to spend money
very badly. believe that the Attorney General
tells the truth, whatever objection / may have 70

that the Ministers had not stolen. lie was Glad of
1t. They had the same old excuse Former MIN
listers had done these things" chicken thief
might plead the same excuse. Their excuse of
having precedent does not apply, because the law
formerly permitted transfers in the same depart-
ment, and now it forhids it. They have not obeyed
the Audit Act. We're they going to continue such
Ministers IN office, that have been waltzing down

there was no discipline, no rules, and the mortal
ity was excessive. There was never doctor there
only some two days in the MONTH The Presi-

suffering settlement of humanity to rot without
