Mr. HOLTON taunted the Secretary of State with beiu‘.nubuto rise above the peity local squabbles of the constituency, and argued that the report of the Committee showâ€" ed that the rioters had received the utmost provocation by the conduct of the Returning Officer, who had been selected by an unpopular party to disfranchise that portion of the dis= trict, where public opidioa was most adverse to them, (no, no,) and who had proved a willâ€" ing tool to obtain by«raud a result. which fair means were unable to bring about. Hs asked the Minister for Justice if he considered it just to summon witnesses to give: evidence here, and refuse them all ‘compensation for their time and outlay. It was not pretended that they had cot spoken traly, and it was monâ€" strous to maintain that they should be treated uojustly as a measure of punishment for their mamaptictiths. L ale c cksmigrmizass sn n vin Mr. CHAMBERLIN said that the .:‘»al made by Mr. Holton to party feeling pasâ€" sion, was most unfortunate to his clients, and denied the im putation of partiality, which bad been cast upon the R:turaing Officer. « Mr. DUFRESNE said that all the cvidence produced before the Committee, had not been laid before the Hous:s.. If it had bsen, even the member for Chatâ€"auguay would scarcely have proposed to remuncrate witnesses who, by their own confession, appeared to have been among the most prominent of the rioters, If these partigs were to go back with the reward of $130 or so, they wou!ld be so far encouraged that at the next elections they would not oniy use stones, but even take firelocks and shoot. He went on to detail some of the particulars of the riot, from which be drew the inference that, if" Mr. Chapais had not succeeded in secteting hi.oself, he would not be sitting in the other House toâ€"day. He folt very angry on the matter, and hoped the House wou‘d teject the proposal without division. k After some remarks from Mr. LA WSON, Mr. CASAULT defended the recommendaâ€" tion of the Committee, whos> course, with regard to witners:s, was that which would be :";:hny cuart of law. The admissions the witnesses showed that they deserved severe punishment instead of premium. “l-. Col. GRAY urged that the allegations impropriety brought against these witnesses should not be admitted before proof, as grounds for withbolding a payment to which they were justly entitled by their attendance in obedience to the summons of Parlisment. Hon. Mr. HOLTON hed taken up thi# matâ€" ter, with the full particulars of which he was but imperfect‘y acquainted, only in the '.:"' aud at the instance. of the member.for Hocbelaga. He would submit, in the question Hon. Mr. LANGEVIN replied, shewing that these parfies were themselves implicated in the iMegal proceedings of the Kamouraska election, had taken part in the riot, and had received bribes.. For this reason the Commitâ€" tee decided that they should not receivs the custowary compensation, as likely to prove an encouragement to similar illegality . Hon. Mr. HOLTON mov:d that there be allowed payment to Josech Anctil, Thos. LeBel and Michael LeB«!, of usual allowances to witnesses alt:uding on Committees of ths t P t PE Cd U mVo PRCRTUCTEATE .l‘-em.

Â¥r. OCONNOR wished to say a few words in reply to the Minister of Inland Revenue. That hon gentleman had said that the association was about establishing a distillery, Such was not the case, and no one authorized to speak for the company had ever made such a statement. It would have been proper to have applied to the company toascertain their intentions. It was true that negociations Had been going on for the purpose of purchasing an old distillery buildipg, but not for the purpose of startingâ€" a distillery . The Secrctary of the company with the books in his possâ€"ssion bad beea fully prepared to give all information, but the Minister of Inland Revenue had never given him an cpportunity of communicating to the Government. .

After some turther general discussion, Sir J, A. MACDONALD pointed out that the Bill was prospective, intended to affect only the Intercolonial Railway and any other that might hercafter be constructed, and that therefore the proposed amendment would not sncceed in effecting the relicf aimed at on the Grand Truok or Great Weet«rn lines. ‘The common law contained provision applicable for the abatement of all suchâ€" nuilsances which might be enforced against the railâ€" way companies as well as against any other offenders. ® The Bill respecting fishing by foreign vesâ€" The Bill respecting procedure in criminal Hon.
