We repeat again that the evidence as now printed is not. In all respects as originally taken down. Will Dr. Lowson, for lastance, state that he has not revised the drafts or first proofs-we do not know which-of his evidence? Governments legitimately exercise their influence on their officers to consent to modify their reports or their evidence at times, and no one reading the last few lines of our paragraph can have doubt that alteration by or with the noare-a-r£akgesieu nad occurred. We accept, we say again, unhesitatingly the evidence of Dr. Knorr and his colleagues, that the report as printed is in all respects as it was when drafted and signed, but the fact still remains unexplained that Mr. McCoNACHIE, pro- fessing to give the exact words of the certain very signif- report, omitted a Icant portion, and led us and our contemporaries into error. We correct the statement of fact.
