Re (Sir John) Went to the room in question, but finding the two gentlemen engaged quietly iu pqnyers^tjqP, returned immediately; but no aocner had he got back to the Chamber than he heard the row had occurred.Mr.MACDONALD (Toronto) corroborated the explanation of the member for Kingston, in so far as it related to meeting him in the lobby The hon.member said : « There is going to be a row.\u201d Re £Sit John) appeared to be extremely desirous to prevent it.Mr.McDONNELL (Inverness) called attention to the shameful attacks which had been made in the Halifax Herald upon members of the House.It was not long since the correspondent of that newspaper had made a scurrilous attack upon a member, and, in the most offensive manner, had referred to his personal deformity.He thought there was enough to have this correspondent brought before the House, and permanently excluded from the gallery.After some further discussion the matter dropped.Hon.Mr.BLAKE introduced a Bill entitled \u201c An Act to provide for the winding up of Fire and Marine Insurance Companies.\u201d He explained that the Bill was to deal with Insolvent Insurance Companies, on the same principle as Insolvent Banks were dealt with, except in two imp?rtant respects ; first, the claims of the insured would be made out from the books of the Company, and, secondly, provision was made for re-insuring the risks with any solvent Company.He explained that this might frequently be done to great advantage, and would give a Company with which the risks were re-insured an opportunity of increasing their business.The Bill also provided for a stay of proceeding in order to allow short risks to run out, as one of the greatest difficulties insurance companies had to deal with were cases of arson, the proceedings in which ceased when it was known a company was insecure.After some further debate the Bill was read a first and second time.The House went into Committee on the Bill to amend the Acts incorporating the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company and the Canada Central Railway Company, and to provide for the amalgamation of the said Companies as amended by the Committee on Railways and Canals.Mr.HAGGART moved that the holders of stock in the Canada Central, representing original bondholders, be reinstated to their original position of bondholders.He said they had been legislated out of their right, by the Legislature of Ontario.Mr.GALBRAITH explained that those bonds had been reduced to 25 and the stock to ten per cent.If these original bondholders were to be reinstated they would absorb everything.Hon.Mr.LAFLAMME said these claims had been by a solemn engagement, entered into when tbe matter vas under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Legislature.The House of Commons had no right to legislate in the premises, as it would be virtually repealing local legislation and; reviving claims which, by mutual consent, had been abandoned.The hon members would see the motion could not pass.The amendment was lost.The eleventh section, providing that the proceeds should be applied to the construction and eouipment of the extension, was struck out.After some discussion, the other clauses were adopted with one or two amendments and the Committee rose and reported the Bill.It being 6 o\u2019clock, the Speaker left the chair.AFTER RECESS.Hon.Mr.MACKE NZIE stated, in answer to Mr.Robillard, that it is not the intention of the Govern ment to cause the work connected with the repairing and enlargement of the Beauh arnois Canal to be commenced next summer.Hon.Mr.LAFLAMME, in answer to Mr.Mitchell, stated that it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill to amend \u201c The Supreme Exchequer Courts Act,\u201d by requiring that there should he four terms, or sittings, instead of two, in each year.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated, in answer to Mr.Landerkin as to whether any further despatches had been received from the Imperial Government in reply to the address to Her Majesty, passed by the Rouse of Commons in the Session of 1875, praying that naturalized Germans and other Canadian subjects of the British Crown may be recognized and protected in all parts of the world, that the only reply received to that address was the despatch published in the Session of 1876, which is to the effect that at that time it was not possible to carry out the viens of the Rouse of Commons.The attention of the Imperial authorities would be called to the matter again.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated, answer to Mr.Pope (Queen\u2019s) as to whether it is the intention of the Govern men1- to take any steps this season towards the construction of a railway from the Intercolonial Railway near Aulac to Capa Tormentine, and from Cape Traverse to the main line of railway in Prince E 1-ward Island, to place the island in continuous communication, in winter, with the Intercolonial, that after all that had been said about the success and non-success of the Northern Light, the whole subject of securing the best means of com munication with the Island had been taken into consideration, and was now engaging the attention of the Government.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated, in an swer to Mr.Haddow, that he coaid not find that a promise was at any time made by the late administration, to aid by sub.sidy, the establishment of an interprovin-cial steam ferry, between CampbeHtown and Qross Point, on the River Restigouche.The present Government had certainly npt made the promise, and he could not find any communication between the late (government and the local authorities in the nature of a promise.Mr.CJMQN asked whether it is the intention of the (government to build wharf at St.Anno in the County of Chicoutimi.Ron.Mr.MACKENZIE replied that he was unable to glye this information at present.Some works would have to be done in the neighborhood',\u2019 but urkut the nature of this work would be he was not able to say.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated, in an swer to Mr.Fiset, that the exploration of Bic harbour was almost completed last year, and would be finished during the coming season.As to Petit Metis, it was proposed to make an examination of the place,with a view to ascertain if it could be made a good 'harbour.Mr.MITCHELL (Compton) moved for a 4êtai}ed stateijaent qf mopey paid out by the London Emigration Agent\" during'the year* 1876 and 1877 respectively.Mr.CGSTIGAN inoypd fpF Re corre spondence between the Government and the Indians of Tobique Reserve, N.B., re garding the appointment of a resident agent Both motions were adopted.Mr.COSTIGAN moved for the correspondence respecting the appointment of Sergeant L.Hart, R.E., as drill instructor under Lieutenant-Colonel Scoble, and his subsequent dismissal.In making the mo tion, he complained of the dismissal of this instructor by the commanding officer.Hon.Rr; JQRES explained that officers commanding corps Slight make eh gagements with suitable persons as in structors, but if they were of opinion that these persons did not work harmoniously with the corps, their services could at any time be dispensed with ; and it was not a matter under the control of the Department.The motiqn was udoptgd; Mr.T4-SCHEREAU moved for çorres pondence between the Govei'iimcnt and John Qibjin, of Quebec, in relation to the lease of the house row occupied as the Culler\u2019s Office, at Quebec.\u2014Carried, Mr.BUNSTER moved for correspondence or petitions with reference to the es tablishment of a mail service between Manaimo and New Westminster.Hon.Mr.HUNTINGTON stated, in re ply jto the mover, that the service would cost $35 a trip, and the revenue would be about $35 a year: Mr.BUNSTÊB moved for a return of the number of cadets nominated annually to the Royal Navy by the several colonies of the Empire.The Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE was not aware that any colony had the right to nominate cadets to the Royal Navy.The ipotion might pass, and if any information oould be had from the Colonial Secretary it Would be laid before the House.But we did not in any way contribute to the expense of maiutaiRing the Royal Navy, and there was no reason why we should claim the privilege of filling any office in connection with that .service.' Sir JQHN MACDONALD was understood tp say four Canadians }jad }>een nominated by tRe Qoyprgpr-Qeneral.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE was not asuarp of it.He thought not.Mr.TASCHEREAU moved for a return ef all petitions of right transmitted to the Secretary of State since the passing of the \u201c Retiriou of Right Act,\u201d 1876.He spoke in'support of hîs morion, iirgigg that in suits against the Crown fcÿ\" pétition' of right, justice should be done as' in cases between màn and man.Re hojied that whoa ' the 'papers weye brought down it would be shown that in no instance had q fiat been refused without just cause, Hon.Mr.LAFLAMME said no petition had ever been refused for any well substantiated claim.It was only in such cases as when the law had been; opposed, snd J7hen there was no case against the Crown that the fini l?,d been withheld; as in England, the'rule was adopted that a petition should'in all cases bo communicated to the Government so that it might be decided\tthe fiaf should be ' granted or not, Sir John MACDONALD thought ;t should only be refused when there could be no possibility of doubt that the petitioner could show no case against the Crown.Hon.Mi.BLAKE said that, with the exception of a particular class of cases, no fiat had been refused, though there had been instances in which in his opinion a demurrer might have been maintained; yet he thought these oases might be referred.An Order of Council bad been passed and approved by His Excellency, laying down general principles by which they should he guided.At the time of Confederation, the liabilities of the several Provinces had been assumed by Canada for simplicity in dealing with them, but Canada was to be \"receuped by tbe Provinces, and was not to be a loser.In dealing with these claims, they found that some of them dated back ten years before Confederation.When it was found that a debt was due, it was paid and charged against the Province, and when the claim was disputable it was referred to the Province.There was no machinery at all by which these claims could be adjudicated upon.Canada was in the position of an arbitrator between the claimant and the Province, and, being disinterrested and impartial, the claimants had no fear that their interests would suffer, and the report carried much weight as to whether a fiat ought to be granted or not.There was not, prior to Confederation, any means of suing in the Courts at all.It was true that as British subjects we had the right, but we had not the means of making this right available.Practically, then, we had not the means of suing in the Courts before Confederation.He felt what should have been done with some of these claims\u2014some of them 20 years old.Acting on behalf of Canada he should have been disposed to grant a fiat, but he thought the Province should be consulted.Since he had left the Government, there had been no casein which the fi.it had been been granted.The motion was adopted.Mr.TASCHEREAU moved for a return of all cases instituted in the Exchequer Court of Canada since its creation ; also for a return of all appeals instituted before tbe Supreme Court of Canada since its creation.Carried.Mr.PERRY moved for a copy of survey and report made by Mr.Henry F.Perley, Engineer, in 1874, with the view of improving the navigation of Cascumpeque harbour, in Prince Edward Island.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE said, if he recollected right at the moment, the estimate for this work was $40.000, a sum which would be a very serious expenditure at this time, though he was prepared to admit the importance of having a harbour that would afford a refuge for shipping at this point.The motion passed.Mr.PERRY moved for correspondence between the Superintendent of the Prince Edward Island Railway and the Department of Public Works, showing how many miles of wire fence have been taken down and replaced by post and batten fence.After some remarks from Messrs.Pope (Victoria) and Bowell, Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated that the papers would be brought down.Motion agreed to.Mr.ROY moved for a statement showing the amounts paid annually for carrying the mail between Kamouraska and the railway station at St.Pascal, since the express train on the Intercolonial began to deliver the mail at that station.Mr.TUPPER moved for correspondence connected with the dismissal of R.J.M.Lecaire from the North-West Mounted Police force.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated, in answer to the mover, that the dismissal of Mr.Lecaire had taken place three years ago, and he was not prepared to state the cause of the dismissal, but he had no doubt Mr.Lecaire had been treated with every consideration.When the papers were brought down, every information would be laid before the House.Motion carried.Mr.TUPPER moved for corraspondenca between H.G.Hill, architect, and the Government or Department of Public Works, respecting services performed for the Government.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE would furnish the member for Cumberland a memorandum within a few days containing the desired information.He explained that when public buildings were erected the course usually pursued, was to send a rough sketch to a local architect, who made a a finished plan, and who received a commission, ranging from 2) to 4 per cent., though a larger commission was allowed in cases of repairs for sums of $2,000 or $3,000.Jn the case of Mr.Hill the diffi-pulty arose because he claimed a salary for the time he wag employed, as well as a commission.Motion adopted.Mr.TUPPER moved for a copy of memorials asking aid for a branch railway from Pugwash to the Intercolonial Railway.He said Pugwash was one of the finest harbours on the Straits of Northumberland, from which coal could be shipped for the St.Lawrence.If this ra'1- were ounstructed, it would also affora\tfacilities as a point from which a\tto P.E.Island might be established.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE said the whole subject of steam communication with that Island was under consideration, and a survey of the whole coast would be-made, with a view ef ascertaining which would be the most advantageous point from which to carry bn operations next year.Motion adopted.Mr.TUPPER moved for the correspondence connected with the removal or resignation of George Taylor from the office of Assistant Railway Superintendent of the Intercolonial railway.He explained that Mr.Taylor had been called upon to tesign whùn the Intercolonial was amalgamated with the Nova Scotia railway.It was true he had been offered tbe choice of two positions, but they were inferior.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE said there certainly was nolhing charged against Mr.Taylor, The s^aff was too large, however, and he had been \" choseh as bub of thoeô employees whose services were not neees-sary in the higher positions.Mr.Taylor had received six or nine months salary on his removal.The mot on carried.Mr.TUPPER moved for the correspondence in relation to the removal of T.M.Boggs from the office of Train Des-patcher at Truro, on the Intercolonial railway.He said that Mr.Boggs complained that prior to the accident, which led to his dismissal, he had been overworked.Re read from the Lancet to shpiy that syhep thp hraiu was overworked, mistakes were liable to occur.Ron.Mr.MACKENZIE said the statement of fact made by the hon.gentleman was not the statement of fact received by the Department, and it had been shown that there had been gross negligence.Where trains were worked by time, the duties of a train despatcher were not so important, but when they \\yere worked by despatches sent to all points, the negligence of a train despatcher might lead to the greatest accidents.While the system was safe if properly worked, it is most dangerous in cases of neglsct or inattention.For this reason it was impossible to conituuo a train despatcher in his position whèh there had been neglect.Of course there could be no intention to do any injustice to any individual.After some further discussion the motion was allowed to pass.Mr.McDONALD (Cape Breton) moved for a message to the Senate, requesting the trapsmigsion for the information of this House,' of all contracts entered intp during fhe year 1876, for the conveyance of mai}s from Sydney to Cow Bay, Little and Rig Glace Rays, and Bridgeport in the County of Cape Breton.Hon.Mr.HUNTINGTON, in reply to the mover, stated that the tri-weekly service on the route had cost $856, but the Department made another and a temporary arrangement, by which, for $900, or $44 more, they had secured a daily mail over the same route.The contract had since been advertised in the regular way.Motion adopted.Mr.McDONALD (Cape Rreton), moved for correspondence between the Imperial and Dominion Governments in reference to a site for building a quarantine hospital at Sydney, Cape Breton; also for correspondence in relation to the dismissal of R.McNiel, shipping officer, at Little Glace Bay (Cape Breton County); also for correspondence relating to the removal of th« postmaster at Cow Bay (Cape Breton), &c., &c.; also for correspondence relating to the dismissalof the agent of the Government Savings Bank at Glace Bay (Gape Breton).Hon.Mr.HfJNTIKGTGN stated, with reference to fhe removal of the postmaster at Cow Bay, that the inspector had reported to thg Department that thisgentleman, whq lyas connected w}th the Savings Bank Depart,menl, ryas absenf from the duties of his place, and performing the work of an accountant in Halifax.He had great difficulty in finding him out (Laughter), and he was not continued in his office.Mr McDONALD (Cape Breton) moved fov paper's relating to fke dismissal of D.McDonald, postmaster at Little Glace Bay (Cape Breton)'; also for cortospondenoe re! fating to the dismissal of James 'Corbell, posfmastfer at Lorway Hon, Mr, HUNTINGTON said this gen?tleman resigned to go into business for himself.Mr.McDONALD (Cape Breton) moved for correspondence touching the resignation of James Cadigan as Postmaster at Little Glace Bay, (Cape Breton County) ; also for correspondence touching the Postmaster and Post-Rliice affairs at Victoria Mines, (Cape Breton County), for the past three years.-\t, ; Rr) McKAY (Colchester) moved for eor respoiidenee bonnectad witj) alpag'e 'from the Government of Nova Scotia) and from the Dominion Government, to the Hon.Alex.McFarlance, of certain mud gats and oyster beds in the Counties of Colchester and Cumberland.Mr.AYLMER moved for the ranks and names of all officers who have attended and taken long or short course certificates in the A or B Battery schools of gunnery, Mr.RYAN moved for a statement showing the number of lots south of the As-sineboine River, in the Parish of Poplar Point, in the Province of Manitoba, for which patents have been issued.Mr.POPE (Queens,) moved for correspondence in relation to handing the Pietou Branch railway over to a private company.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE said the correspondence was proceeding at the present moment, under the conditions of the Act passed last year, and it would be exceedingly inconvenient to produce it in an unfinished state.The Act provided that a transfer might be made as soon-as the company had spent $400,090 upon the road.The money had been expended, and the Government had the Engineer\u2019s certificate to that effect.As soon as the road is completed it will be transferred.Mr.EISET moved for the repoits of Messrs.Kiugsford and Michaud on the survey of the Harbour of Bic.Mr.FISET m ved for the correspondence in relation to the construction of a telegraph line between Motane and Fox River.Hon.Mr.MACKENZIE stated that last year a vote of $10.000 had been taken in the estimates to induce the Montreal Telegraph Company to build the line from Matane to Fox River along the coast, but thac company had declined.It was proposed to give the company $5,000 instead of $10,000; the matter was under consider-r tiun, and it was probable the arrangement would be made.All these motions were adopted.Mr.JONES (South Leeds) moved for a statement of sales or leases of the islands in the River St.Lawrence, between Brock ville and Kingston, known as the Thousand Islands, during the fiscal years 1874-5, 1875-6 and 1876-7.Mr.MCCARTHY moved for Orders in Council relative to the agreement, or terms, upon which the grant was made
