Mr. Bonnet‘, when Prime ' Minister, was largely respon- sible for framing the measure. Some of the decisions by judges acting on boards of re- view were “completely at var- iance with the spirit of the act." Mr. Bennett declared. In Prince Edward Island official receivers, who received payment according to the number of clues handled, were “going around d. mming up business," according to reports reaching

him. Finance Minis‘ Dunning told the Oppositi Leader he

would be glad i0 hear-of any such cases. He would act swift- ly to end such abuses, the Minister said. Mr. Bennett said he would give further infor- mation lat:r.

To the above facts we your humble peti- ticners do ever pray: l
