DUMINION PARLIAMENT

OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS.

Orrawa, April 17.

After wasting three days in abusing the Fishery Treaty, the Opposition this merning when the vote was taken allowed it to unanimously, It was then, hoped that on would. allow the bill ratifying it to pass through its remaining stages without any further obstruction, but this p.an., when Sir Charles Tupper attempted to pass itthrough Committee of the Whole, the attack was again renewed. First, Edgar, Mitchell and Casey assailed the Ministers bf; Marine and Custents for having been brutal to American tshermen. Silenced in their charges against the Minister of Customs, they cencentrated their efforts against the Minister of Marine, making’a loud lament over the case of Captain Meteo Rose,

Hon. Mr. Foster: showed that Rose had subsequently withdrawn under’ oath his charges against the Collector of Customs at Shelburne. Mr. Laurier pointed out that Rose had made another affidavit withdraw- ing the affidavits read by Mr. Foster. He, Mitchell, Casey and Cartwright made a great outcry against Hon. Mr. Foster be cause he had not read the affidavit quoted by Mr. Laurier.

Hon. “Mr. Thompson. said “it added nothing to the credibility of the witness cn whom the Grits ‘were relying, and as a matter of fact it did not contradict the affidavit read by Mr. Foster.

When clause 6 was read Messrs. Mitchel] and Jones favored the House with, long quotations from recent interviews with United States Consul General Phelan, of Halifax, in which he contended that the treaty was a gvod one for the United States.

Mr. Davies wanted to know what con- struction the Minister of Justice put upon clauses 6 and 7.

Hon. Mr. Thompson said he must de- cline to be-drawn into a legal argument at this stage, inasmuch as occupying the posi tion that he did he was not prepared . to give authoritative opinions nd from. his place in Parliament. With “Davies it was different. He was untrammelled by official position, and could argue anything he liked.« He (Thompson) would say in a general way that the feat’ expressed by Davies of the extent of the liberties con ceded by these clauses were groundless.

Davies and Edgar still continued talking,

defined.

Sir Charles could stand it no longer and he proceeded to administer a sound castiga- tion to Mr. Davies. He reminded Davies that the treaty had just been” unanimously

ratified by the . house, «that — its terms could not be changed, and that therefore the discussion Davies was tryi to. provoke

no practical service. His object could only be to embarass theJGovernment in a mat-

ter where it was his-duty to render them all}: * Bowe.ess Fisn, 6 cents per pound ; eggs,

the assistance in»his power. This led to quite a passage at arms between ‘Sir’ Charles and the syndicate of Government leaders, in the midst of which 6 o'clock was Called, and the Speaker left the chair.

After recess,

The debate was continued, the bill being finally reported from the committee and passed

Sir,—A few days ago I addressed a com- munication to you with reference to the case of Nicholson vs. Weatherbie. It was written in a hurry, and did nut receive that consideration which, if a little more time had been taken, if should have received. Upon reading it over, I must admit that it is capable of construction which it was not my intention te convey. I thought then, as I think yet, that a most extraordinary construction had been given the meaning’ of intoxicating liquors withiy the Scott Act. It is possible such may be the proper construction, and if so, it will naturally affect the efficiency. of that Act.

My object in writing now is with refer- ence to the latter part of the éommunica- tion.

and ‘improper motives to the Judge who gave the decision. .This I wish most dis- tinctly to repudiate. Judge Peters would knowingly render a judgment whieh he did not conscientiously believe to be right and legal. The idea which I wished to be understood as convey- ing was, that where the counsel for a party to a cause is the son of the Judge who has to decide it, it is not unnatural to suppose that greater weight might be attached to his arguments than if addressed by any other counsel, and if it is possibile for such to be, itis a factor in the case that may. unconsciously influence a decision. The Courts of Justice, like Ceesar’s wife, should be above suspicion, and I have no doubt buf that no one regrets more deeply than the Judge fhimself the existence of the state of things, which admits of eyen the shadow of such a bare possibility. .,

I regret that if in writing a hurried com- munication I may haye unwittingly so worded it as to leave it capable of convey- ing an imputation which I didnot have any intention thatit should, As my commu- nication may have been read by some of your subscribers, I wish to give this expla- | nation the same publicity.

Yours, ~ AN ONTOOKER. Montague, April 16, 1888.
