MR. INMAN: Q. Was your farm staked out? A. N0. it was only planned.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL:

Q. It was surveyed?

A. It was surveyed on the plan.

(Yesterday's report then con- tinued with the evidence of Messrs Peter Sinclair and William H. Mayne. Todays report takes up the concluding part of Mr. William l\iayne's evidence.)

Q. What did you do with the plan Mr. Mollison gave you?

A. It was sent to Mr. Thompson at Halifax. '

Q. Did you send it?

A. I gave it to Mr. Sinclair. and he mailed it to Halifax. They were going to have others struck oi! it. that was the instructions. .

Q. Do you know anything about

‘Thompson's relations with Mitch- b ell?

A. No, only I saw him with Mit- chell here.

Q. Have you met Captain .Dud- ley’! . A. Yes. on two occasions, once when Mr. Mitchell and he called at our house to do the survey wlh Mollison, and one day. when we were on the survey with Thompson, Dudley came along. I think they picked out the site for the first bun- galow and it was changed after these gentlemen came here. But 1 was not there at that time.

Q. You do not know where this plnfl. made in London. came from‘!

A. I can't say that.

Q. When did you first hear of it?

A. I don't know. probably dur~ lng the late winter or spring.

The Attorney General: The 19th of February was the date of the Order-ln-Council.

Mr. Gladden-

Q. So this agreement was made before that?

A. Yes.

Mr. lnman: That is auom r on why this evidence should not be taken. Mitchell had nothing to do with the Government at that time. The matter is beyond the scope of this inquiry.

The l‘ mlsaioner: Suppose Mit- chell got these options last Janu- ary with the expectation of being employed, and had the options up his sleeve. That would be very relevant to the inquiry.

Mr. inman: Of course if you con- nect that up it might or might not

E.

The Attorney General: I think it is n -pretty strong presumption.

Mr. Gaudet: Mitchell, knowing where he stood, gets himself up- pointed representative of the Pro- vince, goes to London and conxes these people to come out here on lands for which he holds options. These men were‘ not to blame in the matter.

The Attorney General: It is in the interests of these men to have the matter sired. Now we have their statements on oath and l". clears things up.

Mr. Gaudet: The point clearly is that Mitchell wanted to make n profit and unfortunately he brought the Government into the desl with him. by having himself appointed rqiresentative of the Province in London. whereas the fact was, he was only doing his own private business.

Mr. Inmsn: He was doing his own private business. and afterwards he started doing public business for the Province. Up to the time that

Relief usually comes by mom- iug. Just as good, too. for cuts, bruises. burns and itching skin troubles.

I horad about Vlcks Vapoliub from my neighbors and tiecidetl to try it.
