Now, Sir, the auestion | 1s not whether we are to refuse to seat Dr | Robertson and to alter this return, as | moved for by the hen. member for West | Huron, by declaring that Dr. Robertson’s j} ame should be inserted and that he should | take the seat—the question is whether that lis the proper contse: to take. or whether it is proper udder all the cireumstances of the | case, to send this’matter to the Committee lon Privil ges and Elections?

reading now from a return presented to the House :
‘*That Dr. Robértson was elected a mem- vor of the Local Legislature of the Province f Princ? Edward Is!snd,and was returned by Sheriff? McCormack upon the 8th of May, 1882; that on the 13th of Jane the came gentleman was nominated as a candidate for the same district, @r fora district including the same, a8 for this House ; that upon the 25th of June the Lichtenant-Gevertior et ‘Prince Edward island certified that he has ‘ not received from James EH. Robertson, returned a member member of the House of Assembly of Prince Edward Island fer a fourth electoral district of King’s County, nor from any other person
on his behalf, any resignation of the seat of the said James E. Robertson as a member of the House of Assembly ; nor have J received any notice of said resignation from the said James E. Robertson, nor from any member or members of the said House of Assembly, nor from any other person whatsoever, on behalf of the said James E. Robertson.’ ”’
We have it perfectly clear that Dr. Rob- ertson was elected to the Local House. We have it equally clear-not merely, as the hon. member for Queen’s County stated, on the ipse divit of sworn electors—but we have the solemn certificate of the Assistant Provincial Secretary that Dr. Robertson was returned. We have the solemn state- ment made by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province that Dr. Robertson had pot resigned. I think it is plain} therefore, that at that time Dr. Robertson was a
member of the Local Legislature of the Province of Prince Edward Island. Now,
what doves the law, passed in 1873, about cases like this : ‘‘Aiter the disselution of the present Parlia- ment of Canada, no person who is a member fany Legisiative Council or any Legislative Assembly of any Province now included, or which may héréafter he included, within the Dominion of Canada, shall be eligible as a member of the House of Commons,’ or shal! be capable of sitting or voting in the same ; and if any one so declared ineligible, is, never- theless, elected and returned asa member of the House of Commons, his election shall be
Bay
The third section of the same Act says :
“If any person is made by this Act inelig- ible as a member of the House of Commons, or incapable of sitting and voting therein, does, nevertheless, so sit or vote, he shal] forfeit the sum of two theusand dollars for every day | he sits or votes.”
Therefore it is not simply a question whether Dr. Robertson, who appears to have had the majority of the votes, ought
have been returned by the returning officer

_stultify ourselves by declaring that ‘this
gentleman is entitled to take his seaté when the law says he shall not sit'in this House. A great deal has, been said regarding the duty of the returing officer, and I desire to speak with cautionupon that subject. I do not pre‘end. to. beyas wise asthe hon. gentleman opposite whovex ecathedra can at once tell what the law is and what it should be. I mean to say that since the Statute of
A874 was, passed, so far as 1 know, there
has been wo decision given with respect to the changes made by that Statute ; and 1 hold that before ihe Act of, 1874 was en- acted it was. perfectly plain. thatithe re- turning officer was not merely a Ministerial buta judicial officer’; that{he had certain Ministerial Uuties to perform and certain judicial daties to perform. It may be— and J hesitate to express any opinion upon it—that the effect of the legistation of 1874 is fo have mada him simply an exeentive or Minsteria! officer. Iam not prepared to say it may not be se ; but what Lam asking the House now to-do, now. when cen- cure is talked of with respect to the returning officer, is to remember the . posi- tion in which he is placed as the law stands and asthe law appears to be according to, the best authorities.. As the hon. the First Minister has shown, there is in our Statue a declaration that if areturning officer re- fuses to return a° man who afterwards is declared by the Election Court to be entitled to his seat, he shall be subject to a penalty of $500. Now, the returning officer is placed inthis dilemma: it is brought to his notice, he knows himself as returning officer,and at all events it is ascer- tained by him by the highest possible species of evidence, that this gentleman is disqual fied. Then the penal enactment of the Statue is pointed out to him. What is he todo? If he took upon himself to decide judicially, that Dr. Robertson ought not to be returned, he wight, perhaps, be open to censure; but under the difficult cireum- stances he decides: ‘‘I will report the matter to the House. . 1 will make a double return, and not say that a man whom the law says is disqualified is entitled to the seat: and at the same time I will not say thata man who has. merely a minority of votes is entitled to the seat. That is a matter beyond me; but these facts, brought to my knowledge, I will. report to the House, and the House will be prepared to deal with the case as the law of Parliament requires.” That has been done We have the double return; both gentlemen have taken the oath.
Mr. Mackenzir—There is no return.
Mr. McCarrny.—Pardon me. Although [ have great respect for the hon. gentle- man’s law, | must bave a litile respect for niy own notions, and I venture toeay itis a double return. The proof of it is thet both gentlemen have signed the roll and both have taken the oath, and both could come into the House and vote. A special return is quite apart from that and is that the re- turning officer could not cay that one or the other candidate was entitled to the seat ; the distinction is very plain between that case and this, which, according to my view of the law, is a double return. That being
double
Mr. McoCarruy.—Can it be doubted that Dr. Robertson is a member of ‘the
Local House? Why, even the hon. mew- |
so, let us see what the best writers say. Ve have not all the superior wisdem of hon. geutlemea opposite, but we may per 2
| haps look ourselves and see what, according bers who have spoken on the other side do} b@bs look ourselves and sea : tod
not pretend that he is not so, Mr. CasGrain.—He has resigned. Mr. lieCarray. — Resigned ! But | when? ile resigned since his nomination | for this House. Mk. Case¢rain.—How do you know that!| Mr. McCarruy.—I say, upon the evi-| dence here, that | have the right to assume, that. J have a statement from the Lieut, -! Governor that on the 26th June he had nct| resigved. I will read it again : i ‘I kereby certify that I have not received, Mr. James E. Rebertson’s resignation.” He had not resigned. ~He left his resignation elected to if he e’ected to this Horse the resigna- t I have no doubt from what I hear—not from what. I know —that the intcntion of Dr. Robertson was to put his resignation in such a position that he was to continue to be a member of the Local House if he failed in the present

| to the authorities, the duty of the returning
officer was. Referring to the penalty clause Mr. Rogers’ work on Elections, a very date edition, says this, at page 338 :
‘* It would seem from the above cases, that the returning offieer is not subject to any liability, as far as Parliament is concerned, if he returned @ disqualified person; nor, on the other hemd, coald he weil be censured for excreising-his WAyment as to the eligibility of a candidate, and returning the person whom the ja@fge ultimately decides to be entitled to the for in most of the cases in which a dicqualiber person has been returned, the formef the resolution of an Election Com- mittee has been that the petitioner onght to b2 returned. Indeed the sole consideration with cemmittees has been, whether the re turning officer hasshown any impro; er animus. (Ipswich K, abd ©., 379.) And accordingly, if it were not for a Statute to be presently noticed, the conclusion would be that the re . turning. officer is safe, so far as the House of Consens is concerned, whether he decided or refused to decide on the qualification of a can- didate, ‘provided he acted bona fide; but that
