not conducive to the ends of justice The

Democrats, dissents. The House adopted the
majority report, many Democrats refusing to
vote. The House adjourned sine die at 3 o'clock
P. NJ, and the Senate half an hour later. The

prosecution was completed. Considerable feel

A PUzzLING LEGAL QUESTION.
Judicial Minds of Winnipeg Confused Over
the Double Duties Of Mr. Walbridge.

W1NNIPEG, April ia curious case is just
now occupying the legal and judicial minds of
this city His Lordship. w. w. Walbridge, the
Chief-justce of the Court Of Queens Bench, is
sitting as a royal commissioner. investigating
charges against the Manitoba Premier, and as
such he has been adversely criticised by the Free
Press newspaper, which has printed an editorial
plainly insinuatng that the commissioner is
favoring the leader of the government in his
rulings and decisions. It frankly asserts the be-
lief that the commissioner is moved by partisan
consideration, and that in consequence the in
quiry will come short of the public expectation.
Such comment concerning the chief or either of
his associate justices on the Queens Bench. in
reference to his or their judicial acts, would be
contempt of court of the most extreme charac-
ter, and would be punishable by Imprisonment
without the option of a fine; and, further. it
would be the duty of the judge thus criticised to
summon the offending editor before him and sum-
marily administer such punishment But in the
present Instance the Chief justice is sitting, on
the authority of the Lieutenant-governor, in
council as a royal commissioner, and not as the
presiding or puisne Judge of the highest court of
the province, and the question arises as to
whether or not he may be freely criticised in the
latter capacity. The Chief justice is puzzled
over the case. He held a conference with his
three associates on the bench privately, and it
is reported that they could not agree upon the
point at ISSUE Believing that the position taken
Is tenable, the Free Press has renewed the
attack, so that some action on the part of the
Chief justice is expected. One of Mr. Nor
Quay's counsel In the investigation will call the
Chief-justices attention to the subject publicly
in day or two, probably at the instance of the
government, when ruling will be given defining
the status of a judge when sitting as royal
commissioner.

MIR. Manning's Future.

New YORK, April IA Washington special
to the Post, says: "The nearest friends of Sec
retary Manning say that it is settled that he will
not attempt to resume his duties at the Treas
ury Department, if, as now seems probable, he
shall partly recover his health. One of his
friends thinks that when his physicians will per-
NIT him to travel he will take sea voyage, and
that he will then be appointed minister to Aus
tria. The climate of Austria is healthful one,
and Vienna is near to the healing springs OF
Europe. Mr.. Manning's appointment" said this
gentleman, would be very pleasantly received
by Austria, and would help to remove the slight
difference that has existed since the Kelley incl
