CORRUPTION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA


and Minister Baker.
VICTORIA, Feb. Especial. lin the
legislature this afternoon Cotton, leader of
the Independents, moved adjournment Of
the house in order to direct attention to
the fact that the president of the execu-
tive council, Hon. Charles Z. Pooiey, Is
appearing against the government in the
case of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail-
way Company VS.. the Attorney General of
British Columbia. submitted az reference
to the full court of the province for deter
mination of the ownership of pre-
cious metals in the railway belt.
He considered that Pooley's having taken
brief from the largest corporation Of the
province against the people was even
worse than Attorney General Bar.on's SC
ton in New South Wales in appearing
against the railway commissioners and
which cost the dismissal of the colonial
government. He proposed to give the
government chance to determine what
action it will take in the mater by ad-
journing the house for the day. Premier
Davie complained that Cotton had sprung
the matter on the house. and disputed
that the case was parallel with the
New South Wales incident, Pooiey
not being salaried member OF the
cabinet. Technically no queens counsel
should appear in a suit against the crown,
but innumerable presidents could be
found for Pooley's action. Beaver, Halt,
Hunter and Martin spoke briefly, Poo!ey

though asserting his ability to defend him.
