made, as there was going to he a
llrge decrease in the taxation of the
city. But the real estate was brought
up so MS to nearly cover the loss,
still the Minister Of Finance had
made the raise. The Chairman of
the Committee has made structures
upon me for having paid out of
public funds for things for corona
tion. As $4,000 was not sufficient
II fund for incidental expenses was
provided, which was tantamount to
$4,000 being provided by the
Assembly. All the bills referred
to were to provide q proper
celebration of that great event,
the coronation. l was sorry to
recognize in the Chairman's re-
marks, a strong bitter expression
towards myself. 1t was surprise
to me and l regret its manifestation.
Commenting upon the remarks l
made about Mr.. Keau, he spoke

and honorably of the gentleman, and
the honorable member had no foun-
dation for his misrepresentation.
With regard to his word ignoramus
it is a word of his own invention.
In reply to the remarks of the Pres
ident of the Assembly, l make them
in all kindness to an honored and
valued friend. / feel he was mis-
lead affairs must have been misrep-
resented to him. He made one re-
mark which struck me painfully,
that l had obtained information from
one Of my lieutenants. l deny l
have any lieutenants, am no cap
tain. l am far from assuming such
authority. He refers to the Board
of immigration, and says my actions
were so domineering he could not
remain. The honorable gentleman
was present when raise of salary
was voted upon, he voted against it,
his objection was that it was too
much to give to lady. l felt sorry
that my honorable friend carried
such All ungallant idea. He hoped
the House would come to vote on
the report, and would move the com
mittee rise, receive it and lay it on
table.

the points | did not agree to were

the Attorney General had any au.

myself. 1t was this way; the -four
Ministerc got together and passed 8
resolution themselves. The Com.
mittee examined the Marshal's office
for about twenty minutes, and were
in the Supreme Court about ter
minutes. do not think the report
of the Supreme Court is correct, as
an item OF $93 paid second Judicia,

to have been found fault with. The
