session the same evening.
i have put the matter into the hands OF |
the court and respectfully ask the council
to appoint committee to Investigate |
these chargesin justice to myself and the |
public. Very respectfully,
1t was moved that committee of five
be appointed to investigate the charges
made as above.
Moran thought it was useless to inves- |
tigate when the matter was in the courts !
and would be fully ventilated.
Simondi said there were no charges be-
fore the house. They had nothing but
newspaper talk.
Horn didn't like newspapers. He had
had some experience in Investigations
which was not satisfactory. ME-. Ryan
was in too much of hurry. When
charges came properly before the house he
would get all the Investigation he wanted.

Horn. Kelly, Lawson, Moran and Si-
mondi voting no, and Bell, Hardy, Heiss,
Loofbourow, Rich and Mainland aye.
