P., On Jesuits' Estates Act: Delivered in the House of Commons, Ottawa, on Thursday, March 28th, 1889 Mr. Mills -which the Government have presented. The introduction is not without interest. Of course when, in a novel play, the actor is introduced to the audience, it is always interesting to those who understand it, and who are looking on, and who are anxious to see how it will end. Sir, the Minister of Justice last night made a very exhaustive speech in defence of the action of the Govern ment, a speech in almost every word of which I cordially concur. When the hon. Gentleman had completed that speech the hon. Premier was ready for a division. He did not see any necessity for any further discussion upon the subject. It had been fully and exhaustively discussed. Both Sides of the Government shield had been presented to the House. The Government had made their defence before the country, and they say to the electors: You can follow the Minister of Justice and support the Government, or you can take the other side, and follow the hon. Member for North Simcoe, and support the Government; and so which ever way the matter may be arranged, it comes to supporting the Gov ernment after all. It is like the trade between the hunter and the Indian. It is you take the owl and I will take the turkey; or, I will take the turkey and you take the owl. It goes to the Government, no matter what the choice may be. Well, Sir, the Prime Minister was no doubt ready for a division, but we were not, and is it to be won dered at? I expect, at all events, and no doubt the vast majority on this side of the House expect, to support the Government. But when one is in questionable company he always feels obliged to make some defence or explana tion of his conduct and'i feel it necessary, in view of the political character of the gentlemen with whom I am to be associated in this vote. To give some account and some justification to the public for the course I intend to pursue. Now, we, on this side of the House, feel that this is a very important question. It is one which is calculated to arouse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
