EMANUEL Z > C an 3' o : '1'‘ ref notice, given I!‘ to acquit my- flitult dut_v—tbe allo-use to pro- CdllUll,.Il] virtue by me, in the Order Book, self ofu very delicate and culling upon it member of dues it Schedule of the Qua ofwhicb, he is, by low, cut ted to sit here its the representative of a constiiueiic . The cntlcnian to whom I alludc,thc Hon. manual .laoca<-lien, has, I belicvo.,_i from information whichl have received froi' very respectable and credible parties, no q Illll,'IlIl0Il in law which entitle: him to a IL‘l1I,"‘II| this House. I have, therefore, undertaken‘. in the discharge of: duty which, in being possessed of such iiiformution, I conceive to bi? incumbent upon uie,nut onl to the pcoylc, its one of their representatives, but to tile IIUll0L',iIl u mem- cr ofit, in which no one ought to be permitted to sit and vote, who is not legally entitled to 3 seat tlierein,—to move that the Honorable Emanuel Mncesclion be directed, by on order or resolution of this House, to In the Schedule of his Qualification upon the To tie, to the end that it may under 0 due exuuiiimtion. Ifi prove good, its having been pronounced so by the Ilouse will afford hint an opportunity to disnbusc the public mind of an int ression con- cerning it ver discredituble to iim. If, on the other him ,it should be found bad, his expulsion must follow, its it matter of course ; and he will be deprived ofa seat in the As- sembly, which he has usurped in violation of the law. In moving in this matter, I am in- fluenced by no feelings of personal animosity towards the individual whose qualification I call in question. He is to me comparatively :. stronger. I have httd iio dcnliiigs or personal intercourse with him, by means of whichto form any privute judgment concerning his character ; and, by any personal cottsiderittions, Iain, tliercl'ore,quitc uiibitissed. It has been said, I understand, by his hon. colleague (i\Ir. M‘Gowii.n) that. there is quite us much reason for enquiring concerning the validity of my own quulificaition, as concerning that of the Hon. lllr. Muccuchen. If he thinks so,Ism very willing that he shall have as early an opportunity as he can desire, to put it to the test oflegal scrutiny; but, in the meanwhile, I beg leave to tell him, that I sit. here neither a: an im stur, nor an interloper. The lion. mem- ber tlicn concluded by moving: Resolution to the cfiiict. That the lion. Emanuel Matceacheu, shall be required, by an Order, of the House, to lay upon the 'l'nble u Schedule containing the particulars of his Qualification. Hon. Mr. Loiti>.—I second the motion. Hon. Mr. lllncsncus.-i.—I should like to be informed by the over wise young man who has undertaken to call in question the validity of my qualification, why the doing so has been delayed until this period of the Session: and why it was not done—ifit was to be done at all—as tho litw directs, on the first day of the Session- I need not, however, expect any as- tisfuctoryinfurmation from him on that score ; but I myself can easily divine the feelings which have prompted the irregular motion. The mortificotion of the fallen party, in finding that they are now become too wee to do any more harm, and their dread that we shall do ?)0d, are become so excessive that no mode 0 an- noyance, nor any obstacle which they can throw in our way, seems too little for them to have recourse . Mr. McGii.r..—lf I am called upon to shew a precedent for calling in question the validity of it member’: qualification, at so advanced a pe- riod of the Session, I can easily produce one. Let hon. members turn to the Journal of the Assembly for the Session of 1850; and they will there find this motion, made after the House had been three days in Session : “ The Hon. the Solicitor General moved, that J. W. Lolscheur, Esquire, returned it member for the Third Electoral District of King's County, ordered to lay upon the Table of the House, the Schedule of his qualification as a member CV Hon. the Arroiutsv Gs.\'situ..—Well, what was the result of that motion 1 Mr. MoGii.i..—-The resultdocs not in any way toll against my motion. The want of oomiiion courtesy on the part of the Hon. Mr. Palmer, was the reason why the motion we: negotived. Hon. the A-rrossxv GsivnAi..—-—Tlio hon. mem- ber (Mr. McGill) is quite mistaken. jorit objected to my motion. that it was on insu t to tho member to whom it applied : and, besides, that, at any rate, it was too late to institute such an enquiry as witsproposed by it. These were the reasons assigns by the majo- rit of the House for refusing to into it. Hon. Mr. Macxaciit-2N.-lrre u or its the mo- tion is, I will reduce the Schedule of my ualification, and’ lay it u it the Table. if my friend: in the House are 0 o iuion that I ought to oso. or o ncnta, owever, I out in- clined co think, now very well that no sulfi- cient reason can be assi ed for disputing the vttlidity of my qualification, or they would not have left it to that young gentleman (Mr. .\loGlll) to move in the matter, and to give, no it were, the last kick in their dying struggle. The Hon. the Cotoxirt. Sccitlrnv, bavin explained, with reference to the question rai in the Assembly, in the Session of the year 1850, as to the suflcicuc of the qualification of Mr. Lclscbeur, that a etition to the House. against his (Mr. L‘:) return was sent to the Hon. Mr. Palmer, to be resented by him, but that being unaecouipani by the documentary sccuritie: required by the law, and there being no tint: to have omission roctl , the hull and learned ntlamon (Mr. Palmer. thought proper to bring tho question before a House ' y motion. That motion, said the lion. iuein- I bar, the motion which had been rained to by 3 the hon. member, Mr. McGill, woe rejected because the time for making such : motion was By law, the time or _ _ ng as (ilov-rnor, Sir Donald 0:iupbcll,tho lion.

The law provides that no motion can be made, for the calling upon a member to produce the Schedule ofliis Qualifi- tion, ufti-r the day on which he shall have ussumml his twist in the House; and nlso tliht no Petition uguinsttlie election or the return of any member shall be received after tlie-cxpira- tion of six do 's from the opening of the Colonial Purliamerit L the despatch of business. If, however, it could be shown that the Assembly had once no wrong, that would afibrd no rea- son whyt ey should do so a in. The words of the Act are these: “ And it enacted, 'l‘hat every member before he assumes his seat, or shal presume to votein the House ofAssetnbly, if thereto required by the order of the House, shall deliver, to the Clerk of the House, a Schedule containing the particulars of his qualification. confurmably to this Act, and shall also deliver, to the said Clerk, the title- deeds, documents, or papers, under which he claims title to the pro erty in said Schedule, or true copies thereof, uly uttesled. on. ATTOBNIY Git.~ii:n.u..—A new Ilouse is not pro rly constituted until the Speaker hits taken t c Chair; and then, on motion, the House may order any member to deliver it Schedule 0 bis Qualification to the Clerk of the House. It is now, however, certainly too late, uccordin to the law, to make such a motion as that which has been submitted by the lion. member for the Second District of Queen's County (Mr. l\lc(iill) concerning the qualifica- tion of the Hon. Mr. Muceaclien. this, as doubting the validity or sufiicieucy of that hon. g§ntleruuu’: qualification ; for I believe it to good, and indeed, much better than those of some who sit as members of this House. To the property on which he has quit- lilied, he had, ifl may so speak, a title before he was born, his father having died intestate before his birth. llis qualification is property which he holds by right of inheritance, and on w in has lived tor thirty-five ears. The information which has been received by the .hon. member (Mr. McG'ill), and on which he seems to rely,’ has, I ima inc, been forwarded to him, from the Eastwnr , by some particular friend, who, no doubt, hopes to gel: into the House, as a member, provided Mr. lllcEacheii’s expulsion from it can be accomplished; of which, however, I am happy to say there is not the smallest probability. Mr. Moosin'.—I have alwawys been opposed to this system of calling on members to table the Schedule: of their uitlificatious. It is, however, a practice whic I has been too tnucli indulged in by members of this House. It has been made to serve as ii. whip in the bands of some: and no one has more frequently availed himself ofthe opportunities which it has at‘- forded for wielding the lush, than the hon. and loomed Attorney General. In the first House ofwliich I nits in member, it was no unusual thin tosee, in the Order Book,a notice, in his and-writing, that he would, on some future day, move that Mr. Sound So, should lay, on the Table of the House, a Schedule of his qualification. But he does not now wish to remember or to be reminded of those doings of his :—-there is no one so euf as he who will not hear. In this line, the Assembl has occasionally done great things. One louse, for instance, in opposition to the opinion of the Cliiel‘ Justice and the Attorney General, drove out the Hon. Mr. Cole: and the Hon. Mr. Wnrburton; and such things may perhn -i bcdonc again. Iam not, however, on'c w o feels. or who has ever felt, desirous to have the qualifications of memberfvexatiously called in question ; but this dis sitiou of mine does not arise from any fear I at my own might be called for, and found bad ; for, thank: to my stars, no one is able to dispute it. Mr. Faasn.—'l‘he question is it very delicate one ; and, I hope, it will be dealt with accord- ingly. With rcspcct to the case alluded to as u prccedcut,—tha.tof Mr. Lel:cheur,—I believe I was the firat to make an motion afi'ectiug it, after the motion of the on. Mr. Palmer for the production of the Schedule of his Qualifi- cation had been submitted. Iwss not uite certain :s to the construction which the w would beer, as aficcting the question before the House; and, in order to get rid of it,I moved the previous question. 1 did so, use I thought I. at, if Mr. Iielacheur was possessed of the spirit of: man, he would, afterwards, of his own cccord, lay the Schedule of his Qualification before the Hou:c;and that, as expected he would do, he did the next day: and, with re: ct to the present case, I would prefer Mr. :ccachcn’: pursuing the same 5 O or Fl! 0 O urse. Hon. Mr. MAclacilnr.—I will not be driven, or coerced by my cncniic:;butl out quite willing to In the Schedule of my Qualification before the ousc, if my friends deem it ad- virablo for me to o co. Hon.Mr. ao.—It is very trite tbot the qlpoation is : delicate one; but still it is one for t e tskiu up of which former Houses aford us r ut:,a.nd, he might add, it was one which, notonlyjustico to the oplc, butjustioe tothe Ilo r. Idacoachen iinself, re uired the House to entertain and prosecute; or, if the hon. gentlcsian bad no legal qualification. his assumption of o acot, and his preaumin tovoto, in the House, amounted to a ran upon the people, for which they were entitled to immediate redress from the Assembly ; and if, on the contrary, his qunlifiatiou was good, he on lit to bool owed an op rtunity o ox- culpating himself, b the var lot of tbo House, re: ting it, from reports which ho: is licly spread, to his prqjadlcc, concerning It. orentertoiuin tho qoosdou, All Ilia on utlamaa, we vo auroly good ority : for ftgwould be seen, on rotoranc: the Order Book cfthoAaaa:ibl , for l860.tli:t, on the very last day of the ‘on, tho day on which the House was prcrosuod by tho Lioutooout qualification, the proceedings of the House sliziuld assume.un arbitrur cboructcnbut I think that. for the sctisfac ‘on of the pic. he on lit to be cullodupon to show in w this quali cation consists. The law which applied to the case of Mr. Lelschcur, in 1850, is still in force; and the arguments which were then employed by the hon. and learned utlemen, the lion. Attorney General and Mr. aviland, in support of the motion, calling upon the [louse to order Mr. Lclachcur to deliver a Schedule of his Qualification tn the Clerk of tho House, are equally applicable in the present in- stance. IIO lion. gentleman seems to no- thing daunted by the motion ; and I hope the resu i will prove him to be as rich as he appears to be independent. Hon. Mr. Macuciisu. It is quite amusing to see the member: of the minority so anxious about my public and private character. and to find that their anxiety on my account has enabled them to find an o portunity to bring forward Mr. McGill, who has, hithert.o,attrsct- ed little notice in the ouac, exce t by his occasional significant grins at the bu ncry of some of his own part . o . o Gs.\"n.u..—The hon. member for the Third District of Prince County (Hon. Mr. Lord) has thought proper to refer to my opinions, concerning the two cases to which he has allu , as expressed by me at the time when they were severally under the considera- tion of the Assembly: and, Iiuiaginc, he has done so in anticipation of my abandonment or renunciation of those opinions, with re: cl to any bearin which they moy be consider to have upon tic ‘ so at present before the House. If so, he is, however, fated to be dis: pointed; for I can assure him that I still cons scicntiously adhere to those opinions; and, moreover, that I am. at thirmoment, full pro- red to act in pursuance of them. f the w require: member: to have : certain pro- pfirty qualification, they ought undoubtedly to ve it.;aud uny fouu not to have it. should be expelled from the House. And. i the ouse required on member to Schedule of his qua ificntion, and it it on the Table, he ought to comply, instead 0 shrinking from compliance, and evading it under shelter of any rotection afibrded him by the Election Law. ‘uch were my opinions, as expressed by me, in the Assembly, with respect to the two case: which have just been alluded to by lion. members; and the remain uncban .—TIio hon. member for t c Third District of Prince Count (Hon. Mr. lord) has said, that it is due to the public that the Hon. Mr. Maccuchcn should be called upon, by the House, to lay before them a Schedule of his qualification. How he can make it appear, however, that such a proceeding. on the part of the House, is due to the public, I am rather at a loss to imagine. The only portion of the public who have on especial right to demand a proof of Mr. Mac- euchen’s qualification, are his own constituents; but that they are, by no means, inclined to question it, we have sullicicrtt grounds for bo- lieving. Amongst the electors of the District which the hon. gentleman represents, had an of those who were opposed to his return, any reason to think t at they could unseat him on the score of the insufiicienc of his unli- fication, the would, no doubt, ve broug ttho uestiou be ore the Assembly. in due time, by etilion.
