The Speaker took the chair at 3.25.

After routine business, Cameron, of Huron, moved that his bill respecting evi- dence in criminal cases, which got hung up by an adverse vote in the committee of the whole Huuse, be paper, from which it was of course dropped.

On motion to go into committee on ways and means, Mr. Charlton took the floor,

Mr. Dundas followed Mr. Charlton, and spoke for a short time, when Mills caught the Speaker’s eye at 8,50.

the course of his public life to his oppoaents, and published recently, in the English papers, as a specimen of the vituperative powers of a politician, of the Grit species.

In reply Sir Richard Cartwright declared that these epithets were used against him by his opponents, and created great merri- ment by reading another list, in which he was called all sorts of names, such as ‘‘Nero, Benedict Arnold, cantankerous,’ rotten old sticks,” etc. As he gave those terms the other side evinced their idea of the appropriateness «f the words by signi- ficant ‘‘Hear, hear’s,” and one member capped the climax by suggesting that Sir Richard should leave it to some one elee to pronounce his funeral oration.
