amined legislation TO see whether or not il

President. The message was referred to the
committee on invalid pensions.
The next message was ON the vetoiug bill
granting pension to Catherine Mccarthy.
Mr. Mstson moved reference to the COM
mittee ON invalid pensions aud Mr.. Browne
moved instructions, requiring the committee
to report II back on OF before Monday next.
Mr.. Browne criticised the action of the
President and invoked Gods mercy on the
man who had the heart to veto a bill for the
relief of widow OF a man who died in the
line OF duty to his country. He ssrcastically

read in full. He also asked the Sc late to do
him the small act Of justice and pass the bill

in vetoing this bill, the President had relin-
quished his office and made himself merely a
