One of the officers repaired to Mr, Koughan’s oflice and discovered that Mr. Koughan knew nothing of the robbery. ‘The result ofa farther exam- ination by the police, leaves grave doubts that the young man was robbed at all.

Mr. Colby moved for the second reading of | the Bill to repeal the Insolvent Act. In do-} ing so, he explained the new Insolvent Act which the Committee on Insolvency had _pre- pared.
Mr. Bechard moved in amendment that the Bill be not read ; but that the Insolvent Act be unconditionally repealed.
The amendment was carried. One hundred and seventeen appeared for the repeal pure and simple and sixty against it.
The House is expected to prorogue about the 10th of May.

Six,—In your issue of the 23th I notice you} state the Davies Gevernment appointed me to the office of Assistant Clerk of the House of Assembly in 1877, ‘‘and at the close of the Session paid Mr. F. W. Hughes $300 for do- ing my work.” A similar statement appeared ip one of your contemporaries some two years ago. It was then contradicted’; and again I state it to be a deliberate untruth.
Mr. Hughes was Engrossing Clerk during the Session, and was paid for his services as such; and not for doing my work, with which he had nothing to do aiter the first day of the meeting of the Legislature.
I am yours, etc., ALBERT H. Yates.
Ch’town, April 29, 1879.
Now for a few figures-—-which can't lie. From the Journal of 1873—-the first year Mr. Hughes was Assistant Clerk of the House—we learn that the allowances for the Clerk’s office that year were :—
I cis chad bins. se ee Oe Assistant Clerk....... 325 00 Engrossing...... 131 00
Total under ‘' extrav- agant Tories”...... $ 1,106 090 From the Journal of 1877—the first year Mr. Yates was employed in the same capac- ity-—the allowances were :—
SE Oe ey ee $ 575 00 Assistant Clerk....... 425 00 Kngroegtee: -:. ¢. .%". - 3 459 O09
Yotal under ‘‘econom- be ical Mr. Davies’. . $1,458 00
It will be observed that the pay of the Clerk was cut down $75.00. Yet the total allowances inthelatter year exceeded that of the former by $344.00.
Further, it will be noted that engrossing cost $319.00 more the year My. Yates was first employed as Assistant Clerk than it did the year Mr. Hughes was first em- ployed. Mr. Cash was that year paid 3150.00 for engrossing, and Mr, Hughes, under the name and style of ‘* Engrossing Clerk,” was paid $300.00 for—what !
The cost of ‘‘ engrossing” since 1873 has been—

Why the marked increase in 1877 ?
We do not usually state‘‘deliberate lies ;” and we now state that not only was Mr. Hughes, nominally Engrossing Clerk, paid $300 fer deing work the greater part of which the Assistant Clerk should have per- formed, but the salary of Mr. Yates, who had no experience in the office, was raised $100 over what his predecessors, who had profited by years of experience, received when he was first appointed.

To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—-About noon to-day I attended a sale in front of the new Law Court build- ing,and thenand there Theo. Stewart, Esq.,
ubliely stated ‘‘ that J, with Fraup anp Pascuahens had puta person into jail, and that he felt it to be his duty to get him out of Jail.”
Now, Sir, unless Mr. 8. proves what he there stated, or retract such statement, I shall be under the necessity of laying before the public, facts such as Mr. S. will be ashamed of, and will, in his ‘‘ Humanity,” be obliged to put up with the consequences. It is now about time for him to open his eyes and see the fraud he has been encouraging in such cases of “‘ humanity” for many years past
Yours truly,
Marx Burcuer. Ch’town, April 28, 1879.
