Ofkick of The Canadian Parliamentary Companion.
Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 25tli, 1877.
The copyright, together with all title and interest in the
Canadian Parliamentary Companion, having been purchased from
Mr. Henry J. Morgan, the new proprietor has endeavored to main-
iiiin the character of the work in this, th(? first issue under
his Editorial Management. He lias enlarged the form of the
volume ; and, at the expense of much labour and no small pecun-
iary outlay, endeavoured to add substantially to the general infor-
mation hitherto supplied. Many changes have taken place since
Parliament last met ; these liave been faithfully chronicled so far as
possible, both from a Dominion and Provincial point of view. Tho
Editor has further endeavoured to add to the acknowledged u'" ''ful-
ness of the Companion by incorporating several new parts, including
a synopsis of Speakers' Decisions since Confederation ; Cabinet
Changes from 18G7 to 1877 ; Important Divisions in tho House of
Commons from 1867 to 1876, together witli a carefully prepared
Alphabetical Index, affording ready reference to any particular
member of the Commons, Senate, or grade of the public service.
The Editor would further impress upon gentlemen in the Legisla-
tures and service of various Provinces, the importance of
supplying reliable information when such is of public importance ;
and has to acknowledge himself under many obligations to those
who so readily responded to his applications during the past two
months. The Companion is now considered a standard authority
upon Canadian affairs, and it is the desire of the Editor not alone
to maintain the already enviable reputation of the work, but if
possible, to add each year to its importance as a book of reference.

PART III
(Explanation of |parliamcnlari| ®erms and
Adjournment. — See Interruption of the Sittings ot Parliament.
Amendment. — See Order.
Avoidance op a Decision. — When a motion has been made
upon which the House is unwilling to come to a vote, there are cer-
tain formal modes of avoiding a decision, amongst which are
" passing of the orders of tlie day," or " moving the previous ques-
tion." The former means that the House should — casting aside
and taking no notice of the matter then before it — proceed to the
other business appointed for that day ; the latter, that a vote be pre-
viously taken as to the expediency of coming to any decision on
the question raised. If "■ the previous question " be negatived as a
matter of expediency, the motion to which it referred is only
gotten rid of fur the time, whereas a direct negative io the motion
itself would be a proscription of it for the remainder of the Session,
as well as a denial of its principle. With respect to a Bill, moving
that it " be read this day six months," or " this day three months,"
is a mode of throwing it out without coming to an express declara-
tion against the principle of the measure.
Bills (Private). — Private Bills are chiefly introduced to enable
individuals or bodies corporate to undertake works of public Utility
at their own risk, and chiefly for their own emolument and benefit ;
but there are other private bills which frequently come before Par-
liament, such as bills for adjustii g claims to property between
individual claimants, and bills relating to divorce, naturalization,
&c. , &c. The expenses of legislation in such matters must be paid
by the parties seeking the relief; and a deposit of $200 must be
made iramediatelj- after the second reading of the Bill. After the
second reading, if all the rules of the House have been complied

\i
with, Private Bills go to th.e Committee, and it is before this Com-
mittee that proper attention must be given by the parties interested.
Individuals or companies may appear by Parliamentary Agent*}.
Bills (Public) . — A Bill is the draft or skeleton of a Statute.
Any Bill which the Senate can originate may be introduced and
laid on the table by an individual Senator without the previous
permission of the House ; but in the Commons no bill can be
brought in unless a motion for leave be previously agreed to.
Permission having been granted, a Committee is appointed to pre-
pare the Bill. It is then brought in and rcpd a first time, without
amendment or debate, and a day is appointed for a second reading,
previous to which it is printed, and a copy furnished to each mem-
ber. The Bill, after the second reading, is referred to a Committee
of the Whole House, at the sittings of which its details are con-
sidered, as its principles were at each of Its several readings.
Members are at liberty to discuss its principles at any of its stages,
but no one is considered to have declared decisively in favor of its
principles,unless by his vote he supports its second reading. In
Committee the Bill is debated clause by clause, the blanks left
for names, dates, nature and amount of penalties, etc.,^re filled
up, and sometimes the Bill is entirely remodelled. The blanks,
as they are called, which are usually filled up in italics, are agreed
to without a question being put, unless a member should propose
to alter them. The next proceeding is, that the Chairman of the
Committee should make a report to the House of the changes that
the Bill has undergone, which he does by presenting it to the
Speaker in its altered form. The report of the Committee is
agreed to without discussion, the Bill is ordered to be printed, and
it is then read a third time, when any further amendments can be
made. If a new clause be added, it is called a rider. The last
question but one is that the " Bill do pass ; " after this nothing
remains except to determine its title, which used to be a general
one for all the acts passed in the session, but in modern times dis-
tinct titles are used for each Statute. During the progress of a
Bill, the House may di\\do on the following questions : — 1st, on the
second reading ; 2nd, that it be committed ; 3rd, on the considera-
tion of report of Committee in case of amendments; 4th, or that
the Bill be recommitted ; 5th, that it be read a third time ; 6th,
that it do pass ; 7th, the title of the Bill. These are quite exclu-
sive of any division in Committee, or any amendments, or of any
clauses added to or expunged from the measure ^ n or out of the
Committee. Alterations arc not usually proposed in a Bill until
41
after its principle lias been disposed of on the second reading.
Immediately after the passing of a Bill, it is taken by a member to
the Bar of tlie Senate, desiring their concurrence, where it passe*
through the same forms as in the Commons . If the Bill be rejected,
no further proceedings ensue. When the Senate agree with the
Commons in the principle of the measure, but differ on matters of
detail, a conference usually follows between members deputed from
each House, who generally succeed in adjusting the difference ; but
if both Houses remain inflexible, the Bill is dropped. The same
proceedings are adopted mutatis mutandis, when the Bill originates
in the Upper House. The Bill having thus passed both Houses,
remains with the Senate, except in the case of a Bill of Supply,
which is sent back to the Commons, to be by them presented at
the Bar of the Senate to the Representative of the Sovereign. The
assent of the Crown is the final proceeding which converts a Bill
into an Act of Parliament. [See *< Royal Assent."]
Budget (The). — The Minister of Finance makes one general
statement every year to the House of Commons, the object of which
is to present a comprehensive view of the financial condition of
the Dominion. Sometimes there are preliminary, or supplemental,
or occasional speeches ; but the great general statement ot the
year has, for a long time past, -jeen quaintly called " The Budget,"
from the French bougette, by a common figure of speech, putting the
name of that which encloses, to signify the thing contained . The
\nnual speech, known by that appelation embraces a review of
.*ie income and expenditure of the past year, as compared with
those of preceding years ; remarks upon the financial prospects of
the country ; an exposition of the intended repeal, modifications, or
imposition of taxes during the session ; and a detail of the public
expenditure during the current period with its grounds of justification.
Cabinet. — The Government of a State or community is under-
stood to signify the exercise of supreme authority, and includes
the executive, the legislative, and the judicial powers ; but in popu-
lar acceptation it means only the first of these, the higher and
more immediate functions of which are exercised by the Cabinet, a
select body through whom, for the time being, the principal func-
tions of royalty are discharged .
It is only since the adoption of the system of Responsible Gov-
ernment that any of the B.N. A. Provinces has had a Cabinet of
Ministers. Before this took place, those who advised the Execu-
tive, or Her Majesty's Representative, were called, as they were irt
i
,?j

fact, Members of the Executive Council. They are here dignified
by the same name as that by which they are acknowledged in the
Parent State — they are called the Government, when the fact is
that this word only applies to the three Estates which constitute
the Government ; but we have come into the use of the term
usually employed in England, and as such it will be best to use it.
When speaking of the Supreme Government of the Dominion, the
people understand the Members of the Queen's Privy Council for
Canada in office. The Queen's Privy Council for Canada is at
present composed of about forty members, but only thirteen of these
are of the Cabinet. It usually includes all those who are bound to
retire when a change of Ministry takes place. The Privy Council
being more immediately responsible for tlie conduct of public
affairs, their deliberations are always considered confidential and
are kept secret. The htad of the Cabinet, who has been entrusted
with its formation, is called " The Premier," but more properly
" the head of Her Majesty's Canadian Government." The Cabinet,
as it stands at present, comprises the following offices : — " The
Minister of Justice and Attorney-General;" *' The Minister of
Militia and Defence ; " " The Minister of Customs ; " " The Minis-
ter of Finance ; " " The Minister of Public Works ; " " The Minister
" The Minister of Public Works ; ''
of Inland Revenue ; " " The Minister of the Interior ; " " The Minis-
ter of Marine and Fisheries • "
Council ; "
Canada ; " "The Minister of Agriculture ; "
General"
, " The President of the Queen's Privy
" The Postmaster-General ; " " The Secretary of State of
" and " The Receiver-
They usually resign when they have lost the confidence
of the House of Commons, or they may be dismissed by Her
Majesty's Representative, and either House can, by address to the
Governor-General, ask for the dismissal of his Cabinet or advisers .
The members of the Cabinet or Administration, are supposed to
agree upon principles of policy and legislation, and are expected to
co-operate in Parliament, upon aU matters and questions not speci-
fically agreed upon as " open questions." The office of Premier
may be held in conjunction with either of the principal departmer^s
of State, though heretofore (before Confederation), it has been
usually associated with the office of Att'jrney-General .
Clbfk op the Crown in Chancery. — The Clerk of the Crown in
Chancery is by right an officer of both Houses of Parliament.
His duties are to take charge of all the Poll Books and Election
Document; to issue Writs of Election, &c., attend with those at
the table when so ordered by the House ; and at the closing of each
session of Parliament, to read aloud the title of each several Bill,

before it rnceives the Royal assent by Her Majesty's Representative.
We reproduce from Macqueen^s Appelate Jurisdiction of the House of
Lords that portion which refers to the duties of this officer
in England : — " The duties of the Clerk of the Crown do not now,
as heretofore, require his constant attendance in the House of Lords.
He assists when the Royal assent is given to Bills ; but has no
concern with the business of the Appellate Jurisdiction. In an
nncient manuscript, preserved in the office of the Clerk of the
Crown, the following particulars are given respecting this ancient
officer : — * The Clerk of the Crown sitteth in the Upper House of
Parliament, by the Clerk of that Court upon the Woolsack, attend-
ing there all the Pu'liament, and is sometimes sent on messages to
the Lower House ; and on the last day of the Parliament he readeth
the Acts, and the Clerk of the Parliament giveth the King's
answer ; where it is to be noted that all the time of Parliament, he
sitteth on the right hand of the Clerk of Parliament, and when he
readeth the Acts, he standeth on his left hand, which is the higher
place, being on the King's right hand.' "
Clerk OF THB House of Commons. — "The Clerk of the Com-
mons House of Parliament" holds an office of great trust and im-
portance. He, with two assistants, sits at the upper end of the
table. The Crown appoints him by commissisn under the great
seal. It is his duty to make minutes, not of the arguments held
in the House, but the decisions at which it arrives — in other wordSj
to make a true and faithful record of all the proceedings in which
it may be engaged ; to see that they are correctly printed and dis-
tributed to the members ; to read aloud all such documents as the
House may order to be read ; to perform the duty (without taking
the chair), of president or moderator during the choice of a
Speaker, putting a question and directing a division in the same
manner that a Speaker would do.
Committals. — In common with Courts of Law and Equity, the
Houses of Parliament can punish all contempt of their authority,
or disobedience of their mandates. Each House is armed with
power to repress any aggression commuted upon its rights, or any
interference with its privileges ; but in the case of the Commons,
the operation u{ this power is limited to the session of Parliament,
committals by that House being invalidated by a prorogation.
Either House can delegate to a committee the power of sending for
papers and records, and of enforcing the attendance of necessary
witnesses .

CoMMiTEKKS. — Are, first, those of the Whole House, which may
be to consider (certain resolutions, as to the nature of which consid*
erable latitude prevails ; or the House itself resolveis into such
Committee, to consider the details of a bill, the principle of which
Ljay be discussed at any or all <n its ether stages ; or there may be
Committees for financial purposes, as those of*' Supply," or " Ways
and Means," (which see.) Secondly, there are Select Committees,
chosen by ballot or otherwise, for some specific purpose — the num-
ber composing such bodies seldom exceeds fifteen members, except
by permission of the House. Thirdly, Committees on Private
Bills (which see) . When the Whole House is in Committee, the
Speaker vacates the chair, the Mace is placed under the table, and
some other member is called to preside, who sits in the seat of the
Clerk of the House .
CoNFERENCK. — Tliis is a species of negotiation between the two
Houses of Parliament, conducted by managers appointed on both
sides, for the purpose of produci!«g concurrence, in cases where
mutual consent is necessary ; or for the purpose of reconciling dif-
ferences which may have arisen. If the conference be upon the
subject of a bill depending between the two Houses, it may be
demanded by that House which is in possession of the oill at the
time of asking the conference. It is the sole privilege of the
Senate to name the time and place for holding a conference, no
matter by which House it may have been demanded . Reasons in
writing for the course resolved to be taken are usually furnished to
the managers on both sides, in which case it is simply called " a
conference." Should this proceeding fail, "a free conference"
must be held, which gives an opportunity for the managers individ-
ually, and unrestrained by any precise form of argument, to urge
such reasons as, in their judgment, may best tend to influence the
House to which they are addressed. A free conference is usually
demanded after two conferences have been holden without effect.
After one free conference, none other but free conferences can be
held touching the same subject.
* Crown.— In speaking of the Crown the reader must remember
that the attributes and powers are exercised in Canada by a repre-
sentative, viz-, the Governor-General. Its attributes are : —
To give or refuse to bills <« The Royal As9e7ii ;" to cause the laws
to be duly administered and executed ; to act in behalf of the
whole community in its intercourse with other countries (but the
Representative of the Crown can neither declare a war nor conclude
46
a peace — this power cannot be delegated) ; to direct the Naval and
Military forces within the limit of his Administration ; to admin-
ister the Public Revenue ; to prorogue or dissolve Parliament. The
Queen's Representative, in appearing for the Crown, represents the
source of justice and mercy, confers office, honors and emoluments ;
but in the same manner as the Monarch acts, by Ministers, who are
amenable to the Imperial Parliament, so the Represeatative in
Canada acts by Ministers, who are responsible to Parliament, and
the choice of those Ministers is the only prerogative which can be
constitutionally exercised without responsible advisers ; but even in
this, Parliament, or rather the People's Representatives, exercise
the controlling power ; for the appointment of such Ministers by
the Crown's Representative can have no practical effect, unless it
rests upon men whose characters and measures prove generally
acceptable to the House .
Estate of Parliament. — Parliament fully assembled, consists
of the Monarch, or his Representative, the Upper House and the
Lower House. They are more frequently spoken of as the three
branches of the Legislature. Neither House deliberates in the
presence of the Queen's Representative, nor will either of them
permit any allusion in debate to the opinions or sentiments enter-
tained by him . The three branches taken together exercise none
but legislative functions, and they must all consent or no law can
be passed. But they have separate functions as well. The
Monarch, or Representative, hohis the whole Executive authority,
and while the Lower House alone can originate Money or Tax Bills,
the Upper House is deprived of this power. Nor does the Upper
House possess the great function of trying impeachments, which is
held by the Lords in Great Britain, from the simple fiact, we pre-
sume, that there is no power invested with the right to impeach .
But we will speak of each one separately :
House op Commons. — The Speaker takes the chair at 3 p.m.
daily. If there be a quorum, the business is proceeded with; if
not, the Ho'ise is adjourned to the next day, at 3 p m. Early meet-
ings take place before the termination of the Session, in order to
expedite business and bring matters to a close ; the House does not
usually meet on Saturday, nor does it assemble on any holiday. No
one can be admitted to hear the debates without an order from the
Sergeant-at-Arms, which is generally obtained through a member.
Twenty members, including the Speaker, constitute a quorum .

The Sbnatk. — The time for the ordinary meeting of the House
is at 3 p.m., nnl»isa some other time shall have previously been
ordered. If a quorum is not present at thirty miuutes after the
time of meeting, the House is adjourned until the next sitting day.
Fifteen members, including the Speaker, constitute a quorum.
The Speaker of the Senate is an officer appointed by the Crown .
Executive. — See Cabinet
FiNANrE. — See Budget.
Interrui'Tion op the Sittings of Parliamext. — The proceedings
of the Legislature may be interrupted or suspended either by
adjournment, prorogation, or dissolution .
Adjournment, as the term itself implies, is a postponement of
the sittngs or proceedings of the House, from one time to another,
specified for the re-assemblago. When the sittings of both Houses
are interrupted by royal authority, it is called prorogation . Dissolu-
tion puts an end to the representative character of the individuals
who, at the time, compose the House of Commons, and Parliament
cannot therefore assemble until after a new election, except in cases
hereinafter mentioned. The power of adjournment is a right
belonging to each House, and there are no restrictions to this
power.
The House of Commons can interrupt or postpone any debate,
defer the considerarion of any measure, or altogether adjourn its
sitting, but the practice is always to adjourn to some stated time ;
and we think there can be no doubt that, by the previous permis-
sion of the House, the Speaker can leave the Chair for a certain
number of hours ; but this does not amount to an adjournment, and
could not be noted as such by the Clerk. But it must be remarked
that the adjournment of one House does not adjourn the other.
The Crown may, pending an adjournment, summon by Proclamation
either House or both, and may direct either House or both to
adjourn to any particular day. But while the power exists, and
although in former times it has been frequently exercised in the
Imperial Legislature, it has grown into desuetude there, as well as
in the Provinces enjoying the privileges of their own local Legisla-
tures.
An individual member may for a time interrupt the progress of
business by successive motions for adjournment, which may be
repeated indefinitely, with this restriction : no second motion to
adjourn can be made until after some intermediate proceeding shall
nil li
47
have been had. The motion in committee, tliat tlie chairman
report progrcsij, is equivalent to a motion to adjourn the debate.
Adjournment does not close the session, nor does prorogation
terminate Parliament. The former is an act which either House
can perform ; the latter is a power vested in the Crown, the dura-
tion of which may be subsequently shortened or extended as the
Crown pleases. All unfinished business terminates and dies with a
prorogation, but during an adjournment they remain in statu qxfo to
be revived on the re-ap.4embling of Parliament. A member who
moves the adjournment of a debate, or who is in posseesion of the
floor at the time of an adjo:irnment, is said to be in possession of
the House with the right to re-open +^'e debate which has been in-
terrupted. This is not the case, 1 v^er, when Committees of the
whole House adjourn. Prorogation never extends beyond forty
days, but it may be repeated from time to time by proclamation,
and continue to be renewed until it is intended that Parliament shall
meet for the despatch of Insiness. The Crown can summon
Parliament to meet at any time by giving fourteen days notice.
Dissolution is the simple death of Parliament, and may be brought
about in two ways, either by the pleasure of the Crown, or by lapse
of time for which it was called into existence. There was a time
when the existence of a Parliament terminated by the demise of
the Crown, but a special law removed this provision of the Consti-
tution. But there is no power in the Constitution by which a
Parliament in Canada can be extended beyond five years . If Par-
liament, at the time of the Sovereign's deatli, be separated by
adjournment or prorogation, it must assemble immediately, or
within a reasonable period. If no Parliament be then in existence,
the members of the last must again meet, and may serve as a
Parliament for six months unless sooner prorogued. By the
British North America Act, 30 Sec . , it is provided that " there shall
be a session of the Canadian Parliament once, at least, every year,
so that twelve months shall not intervene between the last sitting,
etc."
Law Clkrk. — It is necessary to mention this officer in particu-
lar, because the Rules of the House assign to him and the tiunsla-
tors under him certain duties which must be performed to ensure
correct legislation . He is appointed by the Crown. It is laid
down as the duty of the Law Clerk to revise all public bills after
their first reading and to certify thereon that the same are correct ;
and in every subsequent stage of such bills, the Law Clerk shall be
responsible for the correctness of said bills, should they be
amended. The responsibility is increased by the fact of all Bills
i
1^
48
having to be printed in botli languages, English and French, boforo
they can be disposed of.
Minister (Prime). — See Cabinet.
Ministry. — Sec Cabinet ; also Executive.
Money Bill. — See Supply : also Ways and Means.
Order. — By this word is meant an obedience to certain rules
and regulations intended to facilitate the despatch of business, and
preserve that necessary decorum so essential in all deliberative
assemblies. The rules by which the business of Parliament is con-
ducted are of two kinds ; one kind the house possesses in common
with all deliberative assemblies — another is penuliar to its own
existence and powers . For the proper application of all these rules,
the Speaker or Chairman's decision is had, and to this decision due
deference is at all times paid. The Speaker, while in the Chair,
takes no part in the debate, it being his duty to regulate the manner
in which business shall be transacted ; to confine those members
who address the House to the subject under consideration ; to give
his opinion in all things which relate to order ; to put the matter
in dispute into the form of a question, upon which the votes of
members are taken, and to declare the majority as soon as it is
communicated to him by the Clerk. It is also his duty to declare
the business of the House closed, and to see that the afl[airs of the
House are correctly and properly recorded. After routine he calls
upon the member whose motion stands first on the paper of notices,
or who is otherwise entitled to precedence . All motions must be
seconded, or they fall to the ground ; being seconded, the motion is
handed in writing to the Speaker, who has to read it before debate
can be had upon it ; having been read, objections may bo urged.
There are several ways by which a motion may be opposed ; it may
be met by a direct Tiegative, or by an amendment, or by a motion to
postpone, or by proceeding to the next order of the day, or by
moving the previous question, or by the simple motion of adjourn-
ment. A motion once read cannot be withdrawn without the per-
mission of the Houce. It must not be forgotten that unless a
'speech is made objecting to a motion, neither mover nor seconder can
speak a second time except in explanation . If, however, a debate
does arise, in which an opposition is given to the mover of a motion,
he has the right of reply ; but it must be understood that this privi-
lege does not belong to the mover of an amendment. All are per-
4tf
niitttd to explain. The dobatc being eiulocl, the Speaker or Chairman
puts the question, aud calls upon those in favor to say " Yea," and
those of a contrary disposition to say " Nay." He tlien declares
that in his opinion the "Yeas" or the ''Nays" (as the case may
be) have it. If his decision is questioned, the house divides, the
<' Yeas " rising, and their names being taken down, the " Nays "
following ; the numbers are counted from the record and declared.
When an amendment has been moved the vote is simply taken on
the amendment, and then on tlie original question . Should the
amendment be adopted, it then becomes the substantive motion,
and may be amended in the same way that the original motion was
amended. Thus a number of successive amendments to the original
motion may be disposed of. Any member is at liberty to interrupt
another by " rising to order," which means that he rises in his place
and calls the attention of the Chair and the House to a breach of
the orders then being committed . In the debate it is contrary to
order to mention any member by name ; the same rule prevails in
Committee of the Whole, except as rega'ds the Chairman, who is
sometimes called by his name, and not Mr. Chairman.
ORiGiNATiNa Bills — All Bills relating to public in'ome and
expenditure, and all Bills usually called Money Bills, must originate
in the Commons, and be introduced by the Government. — (SeeBilln).
Parliamentary Agents. — In England all the business transacted
for private Corporations and individuals is attended to by what they
call Parliamentary Agents, who are parties generally well up in the
practice of Parliament, and who take oft' a great deal of the drudgery
from Members. Parliamentary Agents are now employed in Canada,
and are a very useful class of men. Comprehending their duties,
they do not annoy the Members, nor neglect the interests they have
in charge .
Petitions. — Tliero are several regulations which govern the
presentation of Petitions to Parliament, which should be attended
to by those who are inte: asted. Petitions to the House of Commons
should be addressed to " IVie Honorable the Commons of Canada^ in
Parliament Assembled.^^ The petitiqji must be respectful, the state-
ment of grievance or cause of complaint must there be set forth, and
the whole must conclude with a specific prayer. Without a prayer
to the petition, it would not be listened to, as the mere complaining
for the sake of complaining will never be countenanced by Parlia-
ment, and the correct form is, after having alleged your complaint,
4
fi
60
ii I
■ i
M
to finish by connecting it with the prayer, beginning, " When'/orcf
your humble pclilioncr, iJT., f>rai/.i, <|c., setting fortli the redress ancl
relief that is sought. Signatures to petitions must be original ; no
agent should sign a petition to Parliament for any purpose. No
chairman can sign for a public meeting, but the common seal of a
corporation is received as the petition of the Avhole body. All peti-
tions must be in respectful and temperate language ; they should
not animadvert upon the conduct of the Parliament, the Courts of
Justice, or constituted authorities. It is not proper to make refer-
ence to any motion or subject under debate, or to a motion in the
course of preparation. After presentation, all petitions imdergo a
close inspection in the Clerk's Department, and when the time
comes for receiving them, the Speaker oflfers such remarks as their
raturc calls for. In England there is a Committee on Public Peti-
tions, which takes this duty from the Speaker, and it appears to
work well, for they frequently find it their duty to report the sub-
stance, and frequently the exact words of a petition to the House,
and not unfrequently recommend such action to be taken as the
cass suggests.
Previous Question. — See Avoidance of a Decision.
Privileges op Parliament. — There are three kinds. Ist, The
privileges which appertain to members individually. 2nd, Those
which belong to the House in its collective capacity, ^rd. Those
which belong to two Houses jointly .
It is unnecessary that we should hero discuss the points of
privilege which appertain to the two Imperial Houses conjointly on
the subject of assuming the supreme power of the realm . Amongst
the privileges which the Commons claim are : —
The power of committing individuals to prison — the po^.er of
publishing matters which, if not issuing from such high authority,
might become the subject of proceedings in a Court of Law — the
power of directing the Law Officers of the Crown to prosecute
persons accused of offences against tho laws, or affecting the
privileges of Parliament — and finally, of doing anything not directly
contravening an existing Act of Parliament, which may be necessary
for the vindication and protection of its own rights, in the exercise
of its constitutional function^. Questions of privilege take prece-
dence of all other proceedings, and are always in order. The
• privileges claimed by individual members — are freedom of speech
and person, including freedom from legal arrest and seizure under
process from the Courts of Law- and Equity. This does not extend
51
of
on
igst
to iiidictablo offenccfl, or to ftctual contempts of the Courts of
Justice. Members of Parliament are exempt from all duticK, the
performance of which might interfere with their prompt attendance
to their Parliamentary callw, Privilege of Parliament, such as it is,
continues for a convenient time after prorogation and dissolution.
Prorogation. — Sec Interruption of the sittings of Parlaiment.
Question. — Soo Order.
Royal Assent. — The Act by which the Crown ngrecs to a Bill
is called the lloyal Assent ; this assent is usually given at the end
of a Session, unless there is urgent necessity for the Act becom-
ing law without loss of time, in which case, the Governor-General,
or the person administering the Government, comes down to the
Upper House, and there, in the presence of both Houses, gives his
assent. When this is done, either at the close of a Session or on a
special occasion, the Governor-General being seated on the throne,
the House of Commons is summoned to the bar of the Upper
House ; being Miere, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery reads the
title of the iiill, hands it to the Chief Clerk, who says in both
English and French : " In the name of Her Majesty the Queen, His
Excellency the Governor-General sanctions this Bill." His
Excellency specially manifests his assent to the Supply Bill. Bills
ti) which the Royal Assnet is not given are pronounced to be
reserved for the significatian of Her Majesty's pleasure there9n, and
are mentioned in the " Official Gazette ■ as having been reserved for
Her Majesty's consideration. Unless a reserve is made in the Act
itself, so soon as the Royal assent is given, the Act becomes a Law,
and can be proceeded on before any competent Court . In England
sometimes the Royal assent is given by Commission, but in a
Colony such an event has never taken place, although there can be
no doubt that the Governor-General has power to appoint a Com-
mission to give this Royal assent.
Sergeant-at-Arms. — This officer, although in attendance on the
House of Commons, is appointed by the Crown. It is his duty to
obey the commands of the House, to apprehend and to take into
custody all those who are committed for any otfence by the House .
All the messengers and servants of the House, except the Clerks,
.are under his orders. He has a seat at the Bar of the House, and
directs all arrangements for the maintainance of order in the
approaches thereto, and in the galleries. He is of course in imme-
p '
*Si^..
Si;
52
(liato attendance upon the Speaker, from whom he takes all orders
in connection with his duties. He is assisted b}' a Deputy.
Session. — The Session is the term occupied hy Parliament
from its commencement to its prorogation . An adjournment does
not close a Session. Parliament is annually assembled for the
despatch of business There are certain important Acts which arc;
renewed every year, and without which the Government could not
be carried on, which compels the Government to meet the Kepre-
sentatives of the people, and render an account of the past years'
transactions once a year at least. Unless this be done, there will
be no supplies, liy an understanding, Parliament meets in the
month of February, although circumstances sometimes arise to
postpone the time. While the Crown has a right to summon Par-
liament where ii pleases, it is generally understood that it
assembles at the scat of Government. The House being assembled,
the Governor-General commands the attendance of the members of
the Lower House at the Bar of the Upper House, and delivc.s a
Speech from the Thorne.' This Speech is the first subject taken
into consideration ; no other business is commenceii until the
answer to it is given. As is stated elsewhere, the mere fact of one
or both Houses adjourning does not terminate the Session ; it can
only terminate by being prorogued by the Grown. All bills and
other measures left untinished, when the prorogation takes place,
are dead, and parties who wish to revive them must recommence
their labours at the next Session, as if nothing had been done in the
l)reraiscs. The mere assembling of members does not constitute a
vSession — one Bill, at least, must pass both Houses and receive the
lloyal Assent, before it can be called a Session.
Speaker.— Beyond all doubt this officer was designated Speaker,
from the fact of being the spokesman or the Commons in their inter-
course with the Crown. He is the presiding officer of the body .
He reads all communications which come from the Cjueen's Eepre-
.sentative to the Commons ; he has to present and read such ad-
dresses and petitions as (ire carried up to the Governor-General by
the Whole House, aud to deliver th(! usual speeches, on the part of
the Commons, when presenting the Supply Bill, and other Bills
calling for peculiar note and remark. Through him, all witnesses
and prisoners at the Bar of the House are examined, and he directs
all arrangements when the House is to be addressed by Counsel. It
is his duty to deliver the reprimand of the House to any one who has
incurred the penalty of receiving it ; it is also his duty to issue
53
warrants of committal or release for 'n*':ach of privilege ; to commu-
nicate with any parties, when so instructed by the House. It is his
duty to closely examine the provisions of private Bills, so as to pro-
tect the public against any surprise, or undue encroachment or in-
Jury ; to control and regulate the conduct of subordinate officers of
the House ; to enforce the Rules of the House ; he cannot join in
any debate unless in Committee of the Whole House. As the pre-
siding officer of the House, he has all the duties attached to such an
office. The Speaker is chosen by the members of Parliament, and
holds his office until the Parliament in which he is elected is dis-
solved. Should a member persevere in disobeying the order of tlio
Speaker, and of the House, the Speaker may " name him," as the
term applies, a course uniformly followed by the censure of the
House. In extreme cases, the Speaker may order members or others
into custody until the pleasure of the House be signified. On divi-
sions, when the numbers happen to be ec^ual, he gives the casting
vote, but he never otherwise votes.
Supply. — All proceedings which relate to the public income or
expenditure must originate with the Commons, and must be begun
by resolution moved in Committee of Supply, which is always Com-
mittee of the Whole House. In the course of the Session, estimates
are submitted to a Committee of Supply, and resolutions moved
thereon, granting to the Crown the sums requisite for the manage-
ment of the various departments of the Government, and the sup-
port of various public and private instituiions. Such as are confirmed
by the Committee of Supply are reported to the House, where they
are again re-conssdered, and adopted or rejected, as the case may be.
Upon these a Bill is passed, and this Supply Bill furnishes autnority
to the Government for disbursing the various sums appropriated.
The Upper House may reject this or any other Money Bill, but they
cannot alter or amend the substance of a Supply or Money Bill ;
such a course would be regarded as an invasion of the privileges of
tlie Lower House. Before any Bill can bo introduced authorizing
the expenditure of any publio money, resolutions must be moved
in Committee of Supply, agreed to there, reported and confirmed by
the House.
Three Months (This Day) See Avoidance of a Decision.
Ways and Means. — As the Committee of Supply relates to tho
expenditure of the country, so the functions and duties of a
Committee of Ways and Means have reference to the funds by which
h^

such expenditure is to be met. Loans, duties, taxes, excise and
revenue of every description, are submitted to the Committee of
Ways and Means . The propositions of Government on this subject
are reduced to resolutions, submitted, considered and decided on,
and such as are agreed to are reported to the House. Those whic'r
may be adopted are embodied in a Bill or Bills, and in due course
and form become the law of the land. As in supply the Upper
House may reject these Bills, but cannot amend them , nor can the
Upper House insert a pecuniarj'^ penalty in any Bill,

SYNOPSIS OF THE PRINCirAL DECISIONS OF THE
SPEAKERS OF THE HOUSE OP COMMON o ON POINTS
OF ORDER AND PROCEDURE FROM 18G7 TO 1876.
t
Speaker — The Hon. James Cockburn.
1. Speaking Twice on Motion checked. — 20 March, 18G8. On
motion for reference of Petition of Hon. J. C. Chapais, relative to
Kamouraska eIe^-;tion, to the Standing Committee on Privileges and
Elections, a debate ensued, in which Hon. G. E. Cartier drew a
parallel between the Lotbiniere election in 1858 and the present
case, and alluded incidentally to the Corrigau murder. Mr.
Joly raised a point of order, that the murder of Corrigan had
nothing to do with the point at issue. Objection ovfr-ruled, and
debate proceeded. At its close The Speaker said : " That in order
" to put a check upon such sharp retorts as they had been listening
«'to, he would, in futuie, enforce a rigid observance of the rule for-
*' bidding any member to speak more than once upon the same
" motion . " — Debates, p. 130.
2. Trade — Bill on Banking. — 27 March., 1868. On motion for
second reading of the Bill to enable Banks in any part of Canada to
use notes of the Dominion instead of issuing notes of their own,
the Hon. L. II. Ilolton contended, " that^, this being a Bill relating
" to Trade, and also involving a pledge of the public credit, it ought
" to have originated in committee of the "Whole Plouse ; and, that
" step not having been taken prior to the" first reading, the Bill
" cannot now be read a second time." After considerable discussion,
Ruled : " I hold that the Bill does not involve an increased pledge
"of the public credit, and, therefore, ought (see Rule 41, and May,
" page 364) strictly to have originated in committee of the Whole
" House.
" But the Bill, having been read a first time, by leave of the
" House, and subsequently having been moved into committee upon
*' the resolutions, which were afterwards concurred in by the House,
t'
.7
(Si A
" it is now too late to raise the oLjection . In none of the prccc-
" dents quoted where Bills of this class were rejected on the 2nd or
" 3rd readings had the Houae been in committee, — that proceeding
"having been entirely omitted. Here the contrary appears ; and
" we need not enquire at this stage whether the introduction of thu
<' Bill, or the resolutions in committee, were the first step in point
"of time.
" I think the Hon. Member is not required to proceed de novo,
" but may go on with his Bill." The ^11 was then read a second
time. — Journal, />. IGl .
3, Trade — Billon Insurance. — 27 March, 18(i8. On motion for
second reading of the Bill respecting Insurance Companies,
requiring the deposit of a guarantee of $50,000 from fire, and
$100,000 from Life Insurance Companies, to be made in Dominio'
stock, the //o« . L. Jl. Ilolton objected tliat — "this Bill relates to
" Trade, and should be based upon resolutions passed in committee
" of the Whole House. That it is a Bill relating to Trade, and that,
"from the terms of the 'British North America Act,' unless it
" could be so treated, it is beyond the jurisdiction of this House, as
" it is only under the head ' Relating to Trade and Commerce '
" that this House can deal with it, and that, if it does not como
<' under that head, the jurisdiction falls to the Local Legislature."
After much discussion, ruled : " 1 hold that the term ' Trade '
''does not, in its general and popul:.r sense, apply to Insurance.
" Trade means buying and selling, importing and exporting goods to
"market, banking, railways, navigation and telegraphs ; all assist
" trade, and are auxiliaries, but are not branches of trade in the
" popular sense ; yet certainly the first, * Banking,' is more intimately
"connected with- Trade than Insurance. I do not find that Bills
" relating to these subjects must necessarily be considered in
" committee of the whole ; sometimes it may have been done, buc
"the practice is not uniform, and I see no rule which requires it.
" 1 over-rule the point of order."
The House then proceeded upon the Bill. The other question
raised by Mr, Ilolton, viz: "That the regulation of Insurance
" Companies is a subject properly within the jurisdiction of the
" Provincial Legislatures," — being no point of order, but a question
of law, was advisedly passed over by the Speaker. It was, however,
decided by the House, on 20 May (see Journal, p. 426), adversely to
Mr. Helton's objection. Journal, p.lGl .
4. Amendment Inconsistent with Motion. — 6 April, 1868. On
motion, for an address for copies of certain papers, including copies
of any instructions to Hon . Dr. Tapper, now on a mission to Eng-
f f
"'«„
H
58
land, J)r. Parker moved, in amendment, nn addition to the address,
requesting the recall of Dr. Tiipper. iVy. J/orm objected, that the
amendment was inconsistent with the main motion, and that both
would be imintelligible if co-joinud. Objection over-ruled. Journal^
p. 185.
5. Complex Amendment to Motion into Committee of Supply. — G
^fay^ 1868. On motion to go into Committee of Supply, Hon. Mr.
Jlolton moved, in amendment, that it is expedient to reduce the
salary of the Governor-General, and salaries of all Government
employes receiving more than $800 per annum, and to provide
against salaried officers receiving emolument for special services .
Hon . Mr. Dunkin objected to the amendment as being complex, and
requiring sub-division in order to a regular vote thereon, while,
being an amendment to go into Committee of Supply, it cannot, if
so put, be divided, or an amendment upon it moved. Ruled: —
"This motion, which contains three distinct propositions, on each
" of which a separate question might be put (and which is therefore
" a complex motion), is not, therefore, irregular, or out of order.
" The House could, in general, according to precedent, order a com-
" plicated motion to be divided. But that could only be done by
" amending the motion, which cannot be done now, for but one
'•amendment can be moved in going into Committee of Supply.
" Therefore the motion must stand or fall as a whole. The diffi-
" culty pointed out by the Hon. Member for Jirome is one which
" does not aflfect the regularity of the motion, and that is all that I
"have to deal with." Amendment put and negatived. Journal,
p. 2G8.
6. Petitions for Money Refused. — The reception of various
Petitions^ on the ground that they asked for grants of public money,
or aid, and trere not recommended by the Croicn, was refused on the
following occasions : 7 May, 1868, Journal , p. 297 ; Ist, 3rd, Ith, lOth
March, 1870, Journal, pp 30, 32, 40, 56 ; 11 March, 7 and 23 April,
1870, .7o?/nirt/, pp. 59, 167, 233; 20 February and 3 3farch, 1871,
Journal, pp. 18, 44, and on several other occasions, for which refer
to Index of the Journals. (See also No. 50 hereof, relative to
Petitions for Exemptions from Taxation. See also No. 12 hereof.)
7. Amendments — Greater Expenditure thon in Message — Unneces-
sary Imtniction to Committee. — 16 May, 1868. On motion to receive
report of Committee of the Whole on the Bill respecting
Militia and Defence, Mr Pope moved, in amendment, to re-commit
the Bill, to consider two resolutions ; the first declaring the inex-
pediency and injustice of present large sums paid to Staff Officers,
while Battalion and Company Officers are inadequately paid ; the
59
;ers,
the
second providing that no money shall be paid to Stall' Officers until
such time as all the officers of the Force are properly considered,
&c . !" The Hon . A. 'i. Gait proposed, in amendment thereto, to refer
the Bill back to Committee, for the purpose of so adjusting the
Militia expenditure, that the officers " may receive such allowance
"as will distiiiguish between their respective ranks and that of the
"men." Hon. Mr. 7/oZ^o?», raising the question of order on Ifon.
Galfs amendment, Ruled : — ** Not in order, inasmuch as its adop-
"tion would involve the expenditure of a greater sum than that
"recommended by His Excellency's Message." Jfon. Sir John
'• Macdonald, raising the question of order on Mr Papers amend-
ment. Ruled : — " Not in order, inasmuch as, if adopted, it would be
" an instruction to the committee to consider certain resolutions
" which could have been considered without any instruction from
" the Hpuse •, and, moreover, that it involves an increase of the
" Public Expenditure over that recommended by the message from
" His Excellency the Governor-General." Journal, p. 300.
8. Petition for Canal Construction Received — 19 Aprily 18G0. On
presentation of petition for construction of Ottawa Ship Canal, Mr.
Alex. Mackenzie objected to its reception, on the ground that it
infolved an expenditure of public money. Ruled: "That,
" although the' prayer of the petition, if granted, might ultimately
" involve the expenditure of public money, yet, as it related only
" directly to public works, it might be received without any vlola-
" tion of the rules." On recommendation of the Minister of Justice^
reception delayed till next sitting.
When again presented, Mr. Mackenzie raised a similar objec-
tion. A short debate ensuing, ruled : " The reception of this peti-
" tion is objected to, because of the rule adopted last session, when,
" for the first time, the English practice was introduced into this
" Chamber [7 J/«y, 18G8, Journal, p. 297.] These are tike words
" in which the decision of the Chair was then announced : — Though
" there is no rule of this House expressly applicable to the question,
" yet by rule 116, it is ordered that in unprovided cases, the rifles,
" usages and forms of the English House of Commons are to be fol-
" lowed. The practice in England has been clearly against the
" reception of such petitions, and I find, by a Standing Order of the
" House of Commons of the 20th March, 18GG, it is declared: —
" ' That this House will receive no petition for any sum relating to
" * Public Service, or proceed upon any motion for a grant or
" ' charge upon the Public Revenue, whether payable out of the
" ' Consolidated Fund, or out of moneys to be provided by Parlia-
" ' ment, unless recommended from tne Crown.' That decision

" having been given, the House agreed unanimously to adopt it as
'« the rule to be followed in future. The present Petition does not,
" in my opinion, come within that rule. It is very general in its
" terms. It sets out a variety of facts with reference to the con-
" struction of a work which would, no doubt, involve an expendi-
'• ture of money, but it concludes with Jicso words :• — 'Therefore
" ' your petitioners humbly request that Your Honorable House
" » will take such measures as will cause the obstructions to this
" ' navigation to be removed, and an uninterrupted line, to the full
" ' capacity of the leading channel, and the supply of water from
" ' the summit level, opened throughout.' Now, as I take it, this
'' is not a petition asking for any grant, which wou?(l be a charge
" on the public exchequer, and I do not think it would be my duty.
" sitting in this chair, to interfere with the right of the people to
" petition this House, unless there is a clear rule cf this House,
" which would prevent the petition, beyond a doubt, from being
" received. I cannot so apply the rule, for by express language it
"does not cover this case. This is not a petition asking for
" money. It is a petition asking simply for legislation, and were
*' I to say that the petition came within that rule, I should be
" opposing my authority against the rights of the public at large to
^' approach this House . If it is the pleasure of the House to
•' exclude petitions of this class in future, the proper wr.y would be
•* to adopt a substantive rule, which would clearly exclude such
" petitions. I consider, therefore, that the petition must bo
'' received." The petition was then received. Journal, p. 22.
9. Motion Over-ruled — Comwittee on Depreciated Silver . — 26 Ma)f,
1869. Mr. Dttfresne -moyed. that iha House go into Committee, on
. Monday next, to consider a resolution, declaring the expediency of
the purchase, by the Dominion of depreciated silver coins now in
circulation, their export, and the substitution of Dominion notes.
A debate ensued, when the Speaker ruled, his attention having
been called to a point of order, that : — " The motion involved a
" charge upon the public revenue, and should originate by message
" from His Excellency." Motion withdraw^n. Ottawa Times Debates,
p. 77.
10. Amendments Over-ruled — Newfoundland Public Lands.— 10
June, 1869. On motion of concurrence in resolutions, reported
from Committee, on Union of Newfoundland with Canada, Mr.
Blake moved an amendment, relative to Newfoundland Public
Lands; negatived. Hon. Mr. TFooc/ moved an amendment, relative
to the lands, and to financial arrangements ; Ruled : " Out of

11. Nova Scotia Financial arranyementu, Amendment, Abatract prin-
ciple. — 12 JunCf 18G9. On motion of concurrence in resolutions,
reported from Committee, for adjustment of the financial arrange-
mv'ints with Nova Scotia ; lIun.Mr. Wood moved an amendment,declar-
ing inexpediency, unless arrangements be at the same time made, in
favor of C^uebec and Ontario. Objected to, as proposing an expen-
diture in excess of that recommended in His Excellency's message.
IluLED : In order, as being a mere as^jcrtion of an abstract principle .
"Beyond that, it proposes nothing ; it does not propose to take any
" step in tlie direction of legislation ; but, on the contrary, as I read
"the motion, the effect would bo, if passed, to present concu ;nce
" in the resolutions, and to stop the whole proceedingK — so that the
" question on this proposed appropriation could not be approached
"again, this session, unless a message came down from the Crown
" recommending such additional expenditure.'' (Extract;. Amend-
" ment put and negatived Journal, p. 235 .
12. J'rimte Motion for Taxation ovcr-nilcd.— W June, 18G9. lleso-
lutiou moved to tax American wlieat, &c. Over-iiuled, inasmuch as
motions for imposition of duties should emanate from Government.
— Journal, />. 242.
13. Amendments Irrelcrant. — 30 March, 1870. On motion of 3L:
Blake, for an address to the Queen, for Imperial Legislation, to debar
the Canadian Parliament from disturbing the financial arrangements
of Union between the Provinces, two amendments, objected to as
irrelevant and vague, were huleu in order. — Joiirn-al, pp. 122-127.
14. C'anad(t School /Aindft — Remlution Irregular. — 4 April, 1870.
On motion of Jfon. Mr. Wood, for the adoption of a resolution,
detailing the proceedings oi the Government of the late Province of
Canada respecting the Crown and School Lands, declaring that good
faith towards the settlers required that Government to make certain
provisions which it had failed to do, and that the objection to carry '
out the compact made with the settlers, devolves upon the Govern-
ment of Canada under the 13. N. A. Act -.—Mr. Casault objevited that
the resolution cannot be considered in the manner proposed, and
should have originated in Committee of the Whole House . The
Speaker uuled : That the objection was good, as the Resolution un-
(luestionably involved a charge upon the public purse of the Domi-
nion. With regard to a point raised by the member for Lamhton, as
to the Dominion Government "having power to pay this money out
' 'ii
62
: (
v\
*''of tho Provincial Kubsidies, tlio very circumstance of this Huiiso
" being the trustee, as \i wore, olthe Provinces of Ontario and Quebec,
** should nuike it all the more necessary that every proper constitu-
" tional check should be interposed before any charge shonld be
" incurred, which would eventually be imposed upon those Pro-
'• vinces " H(5 moreover thought there should be a message from
the Governor-General before such a motion could bo entertained,
and therefore declared the motion out of order. — Tournal^ }>. 143,
15. Motion on Hop intcrosl — Abstract Principle — Resolution affect-
ing Trade. — 4 April, 1870. On motion of concurrence in Report of
Select Committee on Hop-growing and Salt interests, Hon. Mr.
W '^i objected that adoption of motion would lead to imposition of
duties. Objection over-ruled, as it does not follow conclusively
that a tax or duty will be imposed ; the measures asked for are
measures of relief, so far as the House is informed. Tho Hon. Sir
(j. E. Cartier objected, that tho subject matter of the Report related
to Trade, and should originate in Comnvittee of the Whole House .
Ojection ovkr-ri;led as this rule, in express terms, is confined to
Bills only ; and the Speaker thought the House might adopt a
Report of this general character, which would leave it uncommitted
as to specific measures. Journal, p. 147.
16. Instruction to a Coyi-.mission not appointed 4 April, 1870.
Motion to give certain instructions to the Commission shortly to bo
appointed to consider the question of Canals. Over-ruled, as the
motion purports to give an instruction to a Commission which is
not appointed. Motion withdrawn. Journal, p. 149.
17. Senate Bill 2>romding Expeuditure. — 5 April, 1870. Cn
motion for 3rd reading of Bill from the Senate, amending the Act
relating to Lighthouses . lion . Mr. llolton called attention to cer-
tain clauses, which make dispositions respecting public expenditure.
Objection over- ruled . " By referring to the autliorities, it appeared
" that the Commons had accepted provisions in Bills from the
" Lords creating charges not directly imposed by the Bill, but to bo
" defrayed out of moneys to be provided by Parliament ; but that
" exception having been taken to this practice, it did not appear to
''have been continued since 1860." The present Bill fell far short
of the class of Bills alluded to. A clause in it provides that
nothing in the Act shall authorize expenditure by the Minister,
until previously sanctioned by Parliament No contract could
therefore be entered into unless thus previously sanctioned. (Ex-
tracts.) Bill passed. Journal, p. 155 .

to defray cxpcuKos of cortaiu Dominion oflficos, Mr. Mackcnzii^
moved, "That this House regrets that the Government should
** have deemed it necessary to increase the saUiries of otticers in the
" Public Service, &c." Mr. Masson (Soulatit/ea) then moved, "That
" no Public Employees shall receive more than one salary," &c.
This second motion was objected to, on the ground that tlic two
motions had no connection with one another ; and the Speaker,
concurring, over-kuled it. Mr. Mackenzie's motion was put and
negatived. Journal, p. 212.
19. Amendment changing Ih-pendiiure recommended by Message. —
6 May, 1870. On motion for third reading of the Bill for Civil Ser-
vice Superannuation. Mr. Godin moved an amendment as to the
mode of administering the fund, and providing that no officer shall
benefit unless he has contributed to the fund during five years, and
that widows and orphans of employees shall benefit, &c., &c.
Amendment objected to, Imp. Act, 30 Vic, C. 3, sec. 54, providing
that the House of Commons shall not pass any vote, resolution, &c.,
fur an appropriation to any purpose not first recommended by mes-
sage of the Governor General during the same session as the vote .
Objection sustained, and amendment over-ruled. '^ This amendment
" proposes a substantial change from the proposal recommended in
" the message of 2nd May, inst.," &c. Journal, p. 303.
20. Trade — Bill on Insurance — Question already passed upon
G tj- 11 May, 1870. On motion for second reading of Bill to limit
the rate of interest, it was objected to, as it related to Trade, and
should therefore have originated in Committee of the Whole. The
Speaker, in a lengthy decision, and quoting precedents, ruled, that
the term " Trade' docs not, in its general and popular sense, apply
to insurance. "Banking, railways, navigation and telegraphs, all
" assist Trade and are its auxiliaries, but are not branches of Trade
in the popular sense, yet certainly the first, ' Banking,' is more in-
" timately connected with Trade than Insurance . I do not find
" that Bills relating to these subjects must necessarily be first con-
" sidered in (Committee of the Whole ; sometimes it may have been
done, but the practice is not uniform, and I see no rule which
requires it." The Speaker therefore allowed the Bill to be proceeded
Avith. {Mr. Mills then objected, and the Speaker concurred that
the same question had substantially been already brought before
the House and postponed for three months ; whereupon the order
for its second reading was discharged.) Journal, pp. 313, 3l4, 348.
21. Motion Respecting Re-vote Re-comn Uted. — 10 May, 1870.
The order of the day being read, for resuming debate on amend-
ment proposed on 2 1st April, to concuirer t in resolution of Com-
t

mittee, appropriating $1,. '{00,000 for settlemuut and Government of
N. W. Territories (Re-vote), which amonchnent provided that no
Dominion funds should be expended for regaining, h)' force of arms,
possession of the Territory, &c.
lion. Mr, Dunkin moved, amendment to amendment, to refer
tlie resolution back to Committee on Supply, for reconsiileration
with Message transmitting Supplementary Estimates for 1869-70,
and with such estimates j)re8ently under reference to said Commit-
tee. J/on. Mr. Jlolton objected, that as this was a re-vote of last
year, and the Committee of Supply ha<l already before it a second
message, accompanying the supplementary estimates, recommend-
ing a re-vote in another form, one or other must be withdrawn.
Objection over-iiuled : The House can know notliing of what goes
on before the Committee of Supply until it nsports. The resolution
which is proposed to be reterred back, may, or may not, be
intended for the same sum of money as that in the Supplementary
Estimates which have also been referred to siime Committee. If
two resolutions are reported for two distinct sums, tin; House can
then refuse concurrence in one or other of them. Mr. Dnnkin's
amendment put and carried . Joumaf, />/». 339,340.
22. Modon (hrr-nt/rd /or A'llre.'tK on Prov. i>f Citudki Deht. —
G Mujc/i, 1871. JJon. Mr. Jhrion moved that the House will, on
Wednesday next, go into Committee, to consider certain reso-
lutions, for an address to the Queen, for amendment of the
IJ.N.A. Act, to assign the debt of the late Province of Canada
entirely to the Dominion, &c.
The Speaker^ concurring in an objection rais(!d by Ihm. f^ir O.
K. C<i rti. }% OvRR-RVLED the motion, as conflicting with Sec. 54, of
IJ.N.A. Act, which debars tlie House from any vote, address, &c.,
ibr appropriation of llevenue not first recommended by message .
" The contention is that the proi)Osed appropriation being beyond
" the power of the Parliament of Canada, this provision of the
'* Statute cannot therefore apply. ]n its literal construction it does
*' apply to the motion, and certainly it seems to me to the full as
'' necessary in a constitutional sense,'' &c. Journal, p. 50.
23. Decisions on Motions — Address, Debt of the Prov. of Canada.
— 9 <^* 13 March, 1871. lion. Mr. Dorian moved an address to the
Queen, praying that the B.N .A. Act be amended, to authorize the
Camidian Parliament to legislate on all questions connected with
surplus debt of the late Province of Canada.
][on. Sir G. E. Cartier moved an amendment, to the effect tliat
the House refrains from expressing an opinion on the award
rendered by the Arbitrators upon said debt .

difficulties between Ontario and Quebec, " and involving any aid
*' on the part of the Dominion commensurate with the importance
" of the object itself, and with our resources ; due regard being had
*' to the rights of the other Provinces . "
Mr. Mills (Bothwell) having objected to tVe latter motion, as
involving an appropriation, and asking the L.uuse to commit itself
to an expenditure of money, which cannot be done wit'.out a message
from the Government, rclrd : " That the said uiotion is out of order."
J/on. Mr. Ilolton moved an amendment to Sir O. E. Cartier't
amendment, expressing the regret of the House that the Governor-
General had not been advised to recommend the adoption of an
address to the Queen, siu^llar to that set forth in 3fr. Dorion'*
original motion. House adjourned.
Previously to the House resuming consideration hereof, on
March 13, the Speaker corrected the entry on the Journal of the fore-
going RULIN9. "The motion was out of order, in my opinion, not
" because it proposed an appropriation of public money within the
''meaning of the 54th Section of the B itish North America Act,
'• and should have been preceded by Message, but because it
" involved an increase to the Public Debi,, and should therefore have
" been first considered in Committee of the Whole.
" I am aware that it is doubted whether it is a corr>^ct rule of
"Parliamentary practice that every abstract proposition w .l-3h, if
" acted on, would increase the Public Debt of the country, should
" be first considered in Committee ; but my opinion on the point
"has been expressed on two or three occasions, and I shall so con-
" tinue to decide unless the Ho»i.,o should think proper to express a
" contrary opinion . This rule, liowever, being self-imposed, may
"be enforced or relaxed as the House shall determine. But the
" constitutional rule contained in the 54th Section of the Imperial
" Act is one that, being absolutely binding, should be neither ex-
" tended nor restrained by implication, but should at all times be
" most guardedly considered by the House.''
This decision was ordered to be entered on the Journal. Mr.
Holton^s amendment was negatived, and Sir G. Cartier's carried.
Journal J pp. 62 and 72.
24. hill on Stamp Duties^ simply Declaratory. — 16 and 20
March, 1871. On second reading of Bill to remove doubts as to
the liability to stamp duties ot Premium Notes, taken or held by
Mutual Fire Insurance Companies, Hon. L H, Uolton objected that« —
5
'it
6G
under Section Oi of B . N . A . Act, the Bill must first be recommended
by Message from the Crown, and also that it should have originated in
Committee of the Whole. Decision reserved, and debate adjourned.
On March 20 the Speaker ruled: — 'The Bill is to remove
"doubts; and decl.ares that certain notes shall be deemed to be
" promissory notes within the meaning of the Act 31 Vic. Cap. 9,
" and shall be subject to the duties thereby imposed, and it provides
" that all such notes hen^tofore given and not stamped, shall bo
*' made valid by a double stamp,
" There being no appropriation of money proposed, there need
" be no recommendation from the Crown ; and the objection rests on
" the ground that, as it involves an additional charge on the people,
" tr Bill should have originated in Committee of the Whole, and
'' should, moreover, have been proposed by a Minister.
" It appears to me that the Bill is merely declaratory, and that
" it involves no new charge except in so far as the double stamp
" duty may effect that purpose. On looking carefully at the 31st
" Vie. Cap. 9, I find by Section 7 that the Governor in Council may
" declare thai any liind or class of instruments, as to which doubts
" exist, shall be chargeable with any and what duty under the Act ;
" and by Sections 10, 11, and 12, provisions are enacted to render
" valid notes in tlie hands of innocen holders, and notes passed to
" third parties. Tlie provision as to double stamps in the present
" Bill is merely an extension of the former Act in its remedial
" clauses to the class of notes here referred to, and which are now
" declared to be within that Act.
•' The Bill is one which, theiefore, in my opinion, may be
" properly introduced and proceeded with by a private Member.
" The question, generally, whether private members may in-
" troduce and proceed upon measures relating to taxation, which
" was discu8S(!s! in the course of the argument, is one of very grave
" importance, and, though not needful to the dec'sion of the present
" objections, I think it proper to say a few words upon it to the
" House. Instances may undoubtedl ' be found in the Journals of
" the English House of Commons, c*" Bills and Motions by private
" Members to increase taxation, some of which have passed unchal-
" lenged, whilst in other cases the indirect assent of a Minister has
"been deemed sufficient. Recently, however, in 1869, a high
" authority. Sir Thomas Erskine May^ stated before a Joint Commit-
" tee of the two Houses of Parliament, that 'no private Member is
" ' permitted to propose «n Imperial tax upon the people ; it must
»' ' proceed from a Minister of the Crown, or be in some other form
" 'declared to be ncccssar" for the public service.'
67
Ijc
" I think the House may properly accept of this as the correct
"construction of the rules regulating the introduction of similar
"measures. The Motion or Bill should either bo introduced by a
" Minister, or, if initiated by a private Member (a practice which
" should not be encouraged), a Minister should assume the responsi-
" bility of it by signifying the conj-nt of the Government to its
" being entertained by the House .
" If the House agrees with me as to the desirability of adopting
" this constitutional restriction, it will become my duty to enforce
" the observance of the rule hereafter."
The Bill was then read and committed. — Journal, p.p. 9G, 112.
25. Amejidment Contrary to Previous Decisions. — 22 9 23 March,
1871. The House having considered in Committee of the Whole, a
Bill to amend the Acts relating to duties of customs, Hon . Sir F.
Hincks moved that the Bill be read a third time to-morrow. The
Hon. L. II. Ilolton moved, in amendment, that the Bill be now
re-committed to a Committee of the Whole House, for the purpose
of so amending the same as to repeal the duties on coal, coke,
wheat and flour. Hon. Mr. Elanchet moved an amendment to
amendment, adding the words, "and also salt, peas and beans, etc."
This was agreed to on division. Then Mr. Colby n.oved, in further
amendment, to substitute for Mr. Holton's amendment, as now
amended, a resolution that : " It is inexpedient during the present
" Session of Parliament to make any alteration in the existing
" duties on coal, coke, wheat, flour, salt, peas and beans, barley, rye,
" oats, Indian corn, buckwheat, and all other grain, Indian meal,
"oatmeal and flour or meal of any other grain," inserted instead
" thereof ;
Objection being taken by M.r. Ilollon^ as it proposes to strike
out certain words which the House has already decided shall form
part of the question ; Ruled : " The point of order is well taken.
" It seems conclusively so by English authority, nd there is good
" reason for it. The House has pronounced its decision upon th o
" proposition that salt and other articles shall form part of the
" question to be submitted to the House, and now the House is
" asked to say that they shall be struck out of the question.
" This would be a contradiction and is clearly out of order." —

ing in Details. — 23 ^'27 March, 1871. 3fr. Blake moved that the

Act for the admission of the N.W. Territories into the Union.
3, 4 & 5. Setting forth the measures already taken and proposed to
be taken by the Imperial and Canadian Governments for the
admission of said territories, and tli e erection of part of them into
the Province of Manitoba. And 6th, "That in the opin-'on of this
** House, the sense of both houses of Ihc Parliament of Canada
" should be taken as to, and should form the basis of such proposed
" Legislation."
The Hon Sir. G. E. Cartier moved, in amendment, six resolu-
tions, the first five detailing Legislative and Governmental measures
taken for establishing the Province of Manitoba, and 6th, " That
" the provisions of the said draft ict meet the approval of this
" House, and are in consonance with the will of this House, as
" expressed in the most formal manner in the said Act relating to
** Manitoba."
The Hon. A. A. Dorian moved, in amendment to the amend-
ment, that, " Irrespective of the merits of the measures proposed
" by the Government of Canada to be submitted to the Imperial
" Parliament for the purpose of confirming certain Canadian Legis-
" latioii depriving the Parliament of Canada of certain existing
" powers, and altering the British North America Act, 1867, this
" House would be waiiting in its duty if it did not express its
« decided opinion that no such Imperial Legislation should be
" asked for by the Government of Canada, except after the details
" of such proposed Legislation ahall have been submitted to both
" Houses of the Parliament of Canada for their judgment, and
" addresses of such Houses to the Queen, praying for such Legisla-
•' tion, shall have been passed."
Mr, Harrison objected to this amendment, as being, in effect,
the same as the original motion. Ruled : '' 1'he amendment is in
*' order. It proposes to the House a resolution which is substantially
<* the same as that involved in the original motion, but it omits
" considerable matter of recital both of fact and law, and in that
*« respect, I think, the proposition is one which the Honorable
"Member may propose as an amendment. He may say very
** properly, as he does say, that he has no desire to commit the
"House to the recitals which form a part of the original motion.
** I think the motion is therefore in order."
Mr. Dorion^s amedment was then put and negatived, and that of
Sir G. Carter carried, on division. — Journal, pp. 136, 145
27. Bill Over ruled— Question Already Parsed Upon. — 3 Aprils
1871 . A Bill respecting Insolvency having been passed and sent to
Senate for concurrence, another Bill, introduced to repeal the
69
InBolvency Laws ,wa8 objected to, and over-ruled, on the ground
that the House had already passed upon this question, and that no
measure could be entertained at variance with the former one during
the present Session. — Journal, p. 209.
28. Motion of Urgency — Without Notice — Id April, \%^\. On
motion for a Select Committee, to enquire into a charge made in
the House, that Mr. Delorme, member for Provencher, had been
concerned in the rebellion in the Hudson's Bay Territories, and
implicated in the murder of Thomas Scott, — it was objected that
previous notice of motion was required. The Speaker, after citing
May on the subject, said : — " That it rested with the discretion of
the House as to whether notice of this motion should bo given or
not. If the House believed that this was a case of such urgency
that it should at once be entertained and disposed of, the House
may say that the absence of notice should not bar progress in the
matter, but on the other hand, the House may consider the matter
of 80 grave a character as to require time for consideration . I
think it rests with the House."
After statements, and amendments, the House, on division,
passed to the Order of the Day. — Journal, p. 249.
29. Correspondence Respecting Damages Claim, Referrei to a Com"
mittee. — 10 April, 1871. Mr. Currier moved, that the Return to
Address for copies of correspondence between the Department of
Public Works and George Sterling respecting a claim for damages
by the said Sterling^ be referred to a Select Committee.
Mr. Speaker said, that his attention had already been called to
this motion . He ruled : " That it does not appear to be objec-
" tionable to refer a claim of this nature to a Select Committee.
" Shoi d their report recommend a payment of money, this House
" will refuse its concurrence, unless the recommendation from the
" Crown is announced bj a Minister." Question put iind motion
negatived. Journal, p. 25 i.
30. Reply to Speech from Throne not a Decision on Special Ques'
tioM. — 11 April, 1871. On motion of Hon. Sir G. E. Gartier, to go
into Committee, to consider a resolution, recommended by His Ex-
cellency, that tlie Pacific Railway should be a private, and not a
Government work, and should be aided by land grant and subsidy.
Mr. Mackenzie objected that the House had, during present session,
passed upon a motion in terms similar thereto [by negativing an
amendment proposed by Sir A. T. Gait (Sherbrooke) to motion for
Recond reading of Address respecting admission of British Colum-
bia. Journal, 202.] Ruled : That if the two Resolutions which
have been offered to the House — the Resolution of the Member for
R %
a
M
i ■-

V s'
70
Sherbrooke, and that of tlio Honorable Minister of Militia, were
precisely the same, word for word, it would still be open to the
Hon.se tC' consider the Motion of the Minister of Militia at this
stage . The reason of that is this : — The Motion of the Honorable
Member for Sherbrooke was offer cdj i>y way of amendment, as an
alterrative proposition to the Ifouse . The House had its option
to adopt either the Main Motion, which vas to read the Address a
second time there and then, or to adopt the Motion of the Honorable
Member for Sherbrooke, which was to postpone the reading of that
Address to a future day, and to resolve certain things. The House,
in negativing the motior of the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke,
lias not passed upon the Hesolution contained in that Motion. It
has simply chosen to say, "we will now read the Address a
" second time, and we will not pass upon the llosolution, offered
" by way of amendment, at the present time."
I thirk we have only to consider the form used in the House
of Commons in England in putting questions, to see what is the
true effect of the vote on the Motion proposed by the Honorable
Member for Sherbrooke. Had the Question been put as it would
have been put in England, that all the words proposed to be
omitted <' stand part of the Question, that is, that the Main Motion
" should be voted upon yea Or nay." The House woul'l not appear
to have passed upon the alternative proposition. But though we
may vary our form of Question, our votes must have no different
effect than if taken in the Jinglish House of Commons.
Therefore, according to my view, if the two Motions had been,
precisely the same, it w^ould have been still open to the House
now, to consider and pass upon the Motion of the Honorable the
Minister of Militia. But there are, I observe, important variances
between the two Motions. I would particularly allude to the one
referred to by the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke, that his
]\lotion proposed to pronounce an opinion upon the understanding
tf the two contracting parties, apart from, and irrespective of the
written evidence altogether ; this motion does not do that. With
regaid to the former Motion, the House might well hesitate in com-
ing to a decision upon a Question so difficult to decide upon ; whilst
it may or may not hesitate about pronouncing upon its own future
action, which is what is proposed by the present Motion. There-
fore, for these reasons, I think the Motion is in order,"
The House went into Committee accordingly. Journal, p. 264.
31 . Motion for instructions already possessed by Committee. — 2
May, 1872 . On motion into Committee on Bill to repeal Insolvency
Laws, a motion to instruct Committee to except Ontario from its
71
operation was over-ruled, as the Bill alTocted the Dominion, and
the Committee liad already the power asked for. Journal, p. 18.
32.- Petition sent by Telegraph, refused. ~^3 May, 1872. A
petition respecting Red River Claims, sent by telegraph from Manitoba,
was presented by lion A. Mackenzie. Ruled : " This petition can-
not be received, because there are no real signatures attached
to it.
33 . Bill repealing Insolvency Laws need not originate in Com-
mittee of Whole.— \*l May^ 1872. Third reading of Bill to repeal
Insolvency Laws, objected to, the Bill not having originated in
Committee of the Whole. Objection ovbr-bulbd, this Bill not im-
posing burthens, but repealing them. More».>ver, it applies to
traders, as individuals, net to Trade as a subject matter. Journal,
p. 120.
34 Practical Amendttant to an Abstract Motion. — 27 May, 1872 .
On resuming adjourned debate on motion of Mr. Joly, to go into
Committee for consideration of a resolution, that the Superannua-
tion Fund should be entirely devoted to the relief of officials and
their families, Mr. Jackson moved, in amendment, that it is inex-
pedient now to alter the Act, and that the subject should be con-
sidered by a new Parliament. Amendment objected to as having
no relation to the original motion, but ruled in order, Mr. Joly's
motion, though merely an abstract opinion, being expressed against
the present system, and Mr Jackson's being a practical proposition,
which miglit ]>« adopted in lieu of the other, and pertinent to the
subject of the main motion. The ; nendment was put and carried.
— Journal, p. IGG.
35. Bill Regulating Bon^s — hoes not Compound Debts with
Government. — \Qth April, 1873. On motion for second reading of
Bill extending provisions of Grand Trunk Act, 18G2, so far as
relates to certain preferential bonds, etc., lion. Mr. Cauchon objected
that it should have been introduced in Committee of the Wnole,
as its object was virtually to compound a debt due to the Govern-
ment. Objection overruled: "'C mpounding' is strictly the
"taking less than the thing that is duo. That is not asked in this
"case." — Journal, T^. 164.
35. Second Amendment to Motion into Committee of Supply. —
2 May, 1873. On debates on amendment of motion to go into

Bible for Miiiisters or other servants of the Crown to use the powers
of office in elections, and censuring Gilbert Griffin, Post Office
Inspector, for a certain letter by him addressed to J. Rannie, Post-
master, Jlon. Mr. Tupper moved in amendment, that the House
proceed to the orders of the day. Mr. Joly moved a second
amendment, declaring the advisability of so amending the Election
Law as to disfranchise the whole Civil Service . Second amend-
ment OVER-RULED : Mr. Tapper^ s amendment, if adopted, obliterates
•' the original motion, and no further amendment can be proposed
"pending its consideration." Mr. Tiq^per^s amendment put and
carried . — Journal^ p. 300 .
38. Bill from Senate ImpGwig Burdens. — 10 J/fly, 1873. On
third reading of Bill from Senate, respecting Inspection of Steam-
boats, Hon. Mr. Ilolton took notice that the Bill contained pro-
visions which will be a burden on the people, when the House, by
resolution, waived its privileges on this point. Journal^p. 319.
39. Motion not According to Notice. — 12 May, 1873. On
motion of Mr. Mackenzie to go into Committee on Resolution, that
no person interested in the Pacific Railway " shall be capable of
being elected to, or of sitting and voting in Parliament" Hon. Sir
J. A . Macdo7iald objected that motion was not in accordance with
notice given, which read " shall be eligible to be elected a member
of this House." Roled : — " The objection is well taken." Mr.
Mackenzie altered his motion accordingly. Journal, p. 32G.
40 . Beading Papers in House Relating to Mailers be/ore Commit-
tee. — 15 May, 1873. Hon. Mr. //tm«en^/on moved, upon information
of important documents, in reference to Pacific Railway charges
under investigation by Select Committee, being in the hands of a
Trustee, under such circumstances, that there is great danger of
their being placed btyond the reach of the Committee before 2nd
July next, to which date Committee is adjourned ; that rhc Com-
mittee assemble to-morrow, and summon the Trustee to produce
the documents. The mover proceeding to read certain letters and
documents, Hon. Sir J. A. Macdonald objected thereto. Ruled : —
'* The question of Order, as I understand it, is this : — Whether a
Member in making a motion is to be permitted to read certain let-
ters and papers which, it is said, will support that motion, and
which relate to a charge referied on a previous occasion to a Select
Committee lor investigation . This is bringing into the House for
discussion evidence that must come before that Committee in sup-
port of the charge. J do think, and I appeal to both sides of the
House, that upon the point of Order, us well as upon the strong
justice of the case, I am bound to rule that the Honorable Member
1-
I r
13
cannot read those papers." The motion was then put and carried.
Journal, p. 349.
4 1 . Accusing Action of Crown as be ng " for a purpose . " — 3
-y<w.,1873. In resumed debate upon tbc amendments proposed to
the Address, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, which amend-
ments expressed opinions upon the conduct of His Excellency's
advisers, Mr . Mills made reference to the despatches from the Gov-
ernor-General to the Imperial Government, submitted to the House
by Message, 'as being sent down for a purpose." Hon. Sir J.
A. Macdonald objected, that no Member had a right to say that the
Representative of the Sovereign sent down certain despatches for
the purpose of influencing debate in this House. Ruled ; — " There
" is no doubt an Honorable Member may criticise the subject-mat-
" ter of such despatches, but he should not say ' they were sent
"' down for a purpose.' " Journal, p, 131 .

On motion for reception of Petition of H La BoutiUier^ that Return
for last Election for Gasp4 be completed and amended, as a matter
of privilege, by substituting the name of Petitioner, for that of L .
O. Harper. Objection being taken, that the subject is one which
could only come under the cognizance of the Courts of J^aw, as pro-
vided by Statute : Ruled: — "I cannot find any rule or precedent
" to guide me in coming to a concj usion on this question . I think
" it would be well for the House to consider this matter, and lay
" down a rule with respect to similar Petitions in the future. I am
" of opinion that it is an Election Petition. Looking over the late
" English Journals, I cannot find any cases of Petitions of this nature
" having been ruled out. After considering all the circumstances,
"I think ihat the Petition ought not to be received" Journal,
p. 82.
43. Trade — Bill on Banking. — 30 Ji>W/, 1874. On raiDtion to

74
Public Expcnditiiro in recommending appointment of Com-
raissioners. Objection oveu-rcled : — " The motion was an abstract
"proi>osition such as could be regularly proposed by a Private'
" Member. If it should pass, it would not necessarily bind the
" House in any way." Question was again proposed, debated, and
finally withdrawn. — Journal, p, 214.
45. Motion of Concurrence in an Improper Report of Committee.
— 11 May, 1874. On motion of Mr. Jiunster, that the House dotk
concur in report of S lect Committee, appointed to enquire into the
way in ^vhi .B ...h Columbia is affected by the present tariff;
objection bei | Uxk'^n that the motion asked for concurrence in a
Report which ■ r not to have been received by the House.
Ruled : — "That he o'' ntion was well taken. The Report was
♦' clearly out of order, inasi luch as it recommended the enactment
*»of a special tariff, which could only be originated with the
" sanction of the Crown, and in a Committee of the Whole . " —
Journal, p. 216.
46. Improper Tariff Amendment. — 15 Mai/, 1874. On third
reading of Bill amending the Tariff, an amendment moved by Mr.
Ryan, that the Bill be re-committed, witl^ a view of substituting ad
valorem for specific duties on tea and coffee, was objected to and
OVER-RULED (on the ground that it might involve an incaease of tho
public burthen). — Journal, p. 24:3.
47. Committee Cannot Embody Reports of Previous Committees. —
20 May, 1874. Mr. Orton, having moved that the House doth
concur in the Second Report of Select Committee upon the
Agricultural Interests, Hon. Mr. Mackenzie objected that it is not
competent for a Special Committee to embody in its report the
opinions of a similar Committee appointed in a previous Session.
Ruled : '* My attention has been directed to this subject, and I have
" come to the conclusion that the motion is decidedly out of order,
" It is laid down distinctly by May : ' A Committee re-appointed
" • cannot report the evidence taken before the Committee in tho
" ' previous Session.' This I find has been done in the Report now
" before the House : < The Committee having carefully examined
" * the result of the labors of a former Committee on the subject of
" ' Agriculture, find that much valuable information had been
" * obtained directly from the lUrmers and millers of the country,
" ' &c . The substance of which information as obtained from a
" ' draft Report of a former Comittee, the present Committee beg to
'"embody in the Report which they now have the honor to sub-
" mit ;' — consequently the Report, and the motion founded upon
" it, are out of order." — Journal, p. 282.

addition to the 4th section, to provide that all supplies for Govern-
ment Railways, for a greater amount than $1,000, should be pur-
chased only upon public tender and contract. It being objected —
Ist, it was not relevant to the Bill, and could not properly be
moved in the Committee ; 2nd, it imposed a burthen, and should
fNWtV,
'!»
ft
76
have been first originated by a resolution in a Committee of the
Whole. Ruled : " 1. There is no doubt that it is perfectly legiti-
« mate to make, in Committee, any amendment to a clause, pro-
" vidcd that it is relevant to the subject-matter of a Bill, or pur-
'< suant to instructions ; but if any such amendment shall not be
" within the Title of the Bill, then the Committee must amend the
" Title accordingly. 2. The clause, if added to the Bill, will be
" actuall}' restrictive of the expenditure of public money, and will
" not tend in any way to increase the public burthens. The amend-
"ment is in order." Committee resumed. Journal. />, 327.
54. Abstract Motion Respecting Tariff Allowed . . — 18th February^

ment of a Committee upon the present financial depression. Mr.

results, it was in order . Journal, p. Gd.
55. Motion Affecting Privilege, Unimportant. — 28 February, 187G.
The Motion of Mr. Masson, to concur in Report of Select Committee
on reporting and printicg of debates, was not allowed to be put
without previous notice, not being considered sufficiently important to

93.

fulful their pledges, and show themselves fairly adequate to
their great task ; believes that the bar.is of the franchise should be
"widened, and that efficiency instead of influence should be the pass-
port to the public service ; thinks political progress essential to
political vitality, and advocates the fullest freedom of discussion on
all topics affecting the public interests ; supports the adoption of a
system of proportional representation, whereby, among other im-
provements, the strength of the various opinions held by the people
may be more nearly represented in Parliament ; considers that, as
tho franchise is not merely a right, but a trust, the wilful neglect
to vote should be followed by temporary disfranchisement ; is op-

posed to the appointment of Senators for life by the administration^
and desires their selection for a term of years by the Provinces^
thinking that the future of Canada depends very largely on the
development of the great North-west, advocates the construction, as
rapidly as the resources of the country will permit, of the sections
of the Pacific Railway necessary for communication between that
country and our interior seaboard, in conjuction with an extensive
scheme of exploration and colonization ; believes that the cultiva-
tion of a national spirit is requisite to the success of the Union ;
that the present form of connection between England and Canada
does not possess the element .of permanence ; that as the child
grows into the man, so the State will come to maturity, and that
(notwithstandinsf the enormous difficulties which surround the
scheme), there is a possibility and hope of reorganizing ihe Empire
on a federal basis, so as to reconcile British connection with British
freedom.'' —Oor. of Metcalfe and Maria Sts . ^ Ottawa ; 84 Groavenor

colleagues were sworn of the Privy Council, he (Mr. M.) taking the
office of Minister of Public Works. {Salary, $8,000.) Proceeded to
the Mother Country on publ'c business, June, 1875, and while there
was presented with ' •? Fr >m of Irvine, Dundee and Perth, and
visited Her Majesty at Wf?i< jr Castle. Sat for present seat in Can.
Assembly from 1861 Ui... -l \hv i nion. Returned to Commons at g.e.,
1867, and at g.e., 1872 , '!..:kiie«i by acclamation on his apptd. to
office, and again at last g,e. R» ]• sented West Middlesex in Local
House, from g.e., 1871 until Oct., i872, when he resigned. Several
important measures owe their existence to Mr. M., as a private member,
viz — the Act amending the Assessment Act of U.C. (1863) ; that con-
solidating and amending the acts relating to the Assessment of
Property, U.C. (1866); and the highly useful measure for providing
means of egress from Public Buildings (1866). As Chairman of Com-
mittee on Municipal and Assessment laws (1866), wrote and framed
the greater part of the General Act on Municipal Corporations, &c.
All the measures of his Government, including the enactment of a
stringent election law, with the trial of election petitions by judges,
and vote by ballot ; the abolition of the real estate qualification of
members ; the inspection of produce and weights and measures ; the
better administration of Penetentiaries ; the enactment of the Marino
Telegraph law, wnich virtually abolishes the monopoly of the Cable
Company ; the establishment of a Dominion Military College, and the
improvement of the militia system ; the enlargement of the Canals ;
the permanent organization of the Civil Service; the establishment of
a Supreme Court for the Dominion ; the reduction of postage to and
from the U.S.; the free delivery of postal matter in cities and towns ; the
opening of direct mail communication with the West Indies ; the con-
struction of a transcontinental telegraph line; the better administra-
tion of Government Railways ; an improved copyright law ; the adop-
tion of a final route for the Pacific Railway; the opening of negotia-
tions, conducted on our behalf by our own delegate in person, between
Can. and the U.S. for the establishment of an equitable Reciprocity
Treaty between the two countries ; a new insolvent law ; and
the establishment of a territorial government for the great North-
West, have all been more or less moulded and directed
by him. In addition, two very important questions, which for
some time agitated the public mind and threatened the gravest compli-
cations — the Manitoba Amnesty and the New Brunswick school ques-
tions—have been satisfactorily adjusted, during Mr. M.'s administra-
tion, A Liberal ; and " has always held those political principles —
169
which by some in England may be considered peculiar— of the
universal brotherhood of man, no matter in what ranlc of life he maj
have taken his origin. Has believed, and now believes, in the extinc-
tion of all class legislation, and of all legislation that tends to promote
any body of men, or class of men, for the mere fact of their belonging
to a body or class, to a higher position politically than any other class
in the country. In our great colonies, while no fault is' found with
the political organization of the Mother Country, or of any other
country, we take our stand simply and completely on the ground that
every man is equal in the eye of the law, and has the same oppor-
tunity, by exercising the talents with which God has blessed him, of
rising in the world, in the confidence of his fellow-citizens— one maa
quite as much as another. Believes thoroughly in party government
and that it is utterly impossible to conduct the G( . of a new country
without it. Sees no reason to doubt that the polu v i ich has always
been held by the Liberal party, and which the r '^ser Vdministratioa
are endeavouring to carry out, is one that will u' imiiicly and at no
distant day bring about that jjolitical peace w' ' > iil enable us to dis-
cuss poltics in a respectable way without beinj'' Iol .'d to discuss Pacific
Scandals and things of that sort, will bring in*o harmonious action all
sections of the Dominion, enable every Cana' 7 :■} be proud to speak
of himself as a Canadian, and will promote tho cultivation of a broad
national spirit which must be cultivated if we are to become a great
people on this continent. While an earnest advocate and upholder of
the present connection with the Mother Country, he will always
endeavour to maintain Canadian rights and to bring Canada into
prominence in the eyes of the world." — 190, Wellington jS7., Ottawa;

lic Instruction for Ont. [representing the School Inspectors] Aug.,

Instruction, Ont, 1874. First returned to Parlt., for present seat, at
g.e., 1867 ; re-elected at g.e., 1872, and at last g.e. Sworn in as
Minister of Interior [vice Laird] October, 1876. An advanced Liberal.
Favors the amendment of the Constitution so as to provide tor the
election of the Senate ; for the appointment of Provincial Judges
by the Provincial Executives, and the complete separation of Pro-
vincial and Federal jurisprudence. Was opposed to admission of
British Columbia into the IFnion as premature, and the terms of Union
as prepostrous. He was of opinion that with more than two thousand
miles of unsettled territory between the Upper Ottawa and British
Columbia, we were not in a position to undertake the responsibilities
of governing the country upon the Pacific coast. He held that rail-
way construction, if needed in British Columbia, was a work to be
undertaken by Imperial rather than by Canadian authority. He was
opposed to pledging Canada to the construction of a continuous line of
Railway to the Pacific, as wholly beyond the resources of this country.
He denies that there ever can be a through traffic of Asiatic or
European products over the road of any consequence, and that no
engagement yet made with British Columbia looking to the comple-
tion of the road can be fulfilled. He holds that since the Northern
Pacific Railway has been built to the banks of the Red River of the
North, that the Eastern terminus of the Canadian road ought to have
been at Pembina. He holds that railway travel and traffic are not in
any way affected by political boundaries, and that by utililizing the
Northern Pacific we would have made it dependent upon the continu-
ance of our trade over it to and from the North-West. Favors the
government of Canada by the Canadian Parlt., and not by despatches
from the Colonial Office. In favor of the establishment of Canadian

Courts having Admiralty jurisdiction. Holds that power to legislate
upon the subjects of navigation \nd shipping carries with it power to
establish Courts to adjudicato upon matters arising under such legis-
lation, in accordance 'vith the well-settled rules of martime law.
Favors a national policy, based not upon principles of commercial ex-
clusion, but upon principles of commercial extension. Tinnks Canada
Las outgrown the condition of an ordmary colony. She has commer-
cial relations with Foreign States, in which she alone is interested,
and which she alone ought to regul; te and control on her own behalf.
Is opposed to the People's re{)resentative3 abdicating their functions,
either by failing to maintain an etfeciive control over the expenditure
of the national resources, or by surrendering to the Crown and Privy
Council PwU important part of their legislative functions. Does not
regard an enormous public debt as a national blessing; and believes
that the prosperity of the country is to be promoted by habits of
economy among the people, by encouraging a feeling of self-reliance
and personal independence, and by fostering a spirit of patriotism —
not flunkeyism — by which the interests, the prosperity, and the honor
of Canada are made the paramount duty of her representatives, and
not upon gigantic and costly works, built in wild and uninhabitable
regions. Considers the present state as one of transition ; and regards
the Confederation of the Empire, for certain specilifd purposes, as the
most satisfactory solution of our political future. — Palmyra^ Ont.

" In politics, has always been a Reformer, and having every confi-
dence in the integrity and honesty of purpose of the present Ad-
ministration, will give it his cordial support, and will always bo
found using his best endeavors to procure an honest, economical
.ind efficient administration of the affairs of the country. Having
been continually connected with the Volunteer Force from its first
inception in 1855, it is natural that he should take a deep interest
in it. Regrets, however, to say that its efficiency is not at all
commensurate with the large amount of money spent in keeping it
up ; at the same time believing its maintenance to be a necessity,
he will use every effort at his command to make it still more
efficient (which he knows to be possible) without at the same time
increasing the burdens of the people either in time or money.
Bel'"eving t?iat any change in our relations with the Mother Country
in '; direction of Independence, would not only not be for our
|^fl<^<i, but very much to our detriment, he will strenuously advocate
he maintaining of the existing relations between the Dominion

^ ABOLITION OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
" k\
Up to January, 1876, the Province of Manitoba had an upper
chamber or Legislative Council; but the political machinery for
so sparsely populated a Province, was considered altogether too c "*i-
bersome, and upon Financial Delegations conferring with the Dkj^ i-
inion Govt., an arrangement was entered into in 1875, that the Pro-
vincial Govt, should endeavor on condition of the annual subsidy to
Manitoba being increased to $100,000, lo simplify legislation by abolish-
ing the second chamber. The minority, to meet the views of which
the Legislative Council had presumably guaranteed, gnicefully
yielded to the generally expressed desire, and the abolition motion
was carried on the following division : —
■i^' Vote on the Second Reading of the Bill, 26 Jan., 1876 :—
Yeas : Messrs. Brown, Bourke, Bird, Cornish, Cowan, Chonier,
Davis, Dick, Giiard, Gunn, Luxton, Lemay, Lepine, Murray, McKay,

assented by His Excellency, shortly after.
