The Hon. T. H. Whitehead-There is an other item in the vote, Miscellaneous services (ather) $40,000". Can you give us any ex- planation.
The Chairman-This is chiefly made up of two items. One is money the Govemment had to pay for the repair of Beaconsfield and the other is money we had to pay in consequence of the slaughter of certain animals, the latter being ramied out by the Sanitary Board. in round figures there was about $20,000 to pay in

The lion. T. H. Whitebead-Iam opposed to this vale on account of the expense in con 'nection with "Beaconsfield"
The Chairman-Then you oppose that item, l'understand? ..
The lion. T. H. Whitehead-I oppose that item
The Chairman-Is there any other item you wish to ask about?
The Hon. T. H. Whitehead-The details of. the item $10,000 on account of plague will be Kiven
The Chairman-If it is desired.
The Hon. T. H. Whitehead Not full details: a general statement.
The Chairman-A general statement can be drawn up without much difficulty...
The Hon. C. P. Chater With regard to the Kem of $40,000, I think hon. members would like some further information. How came it that the Government had to pay some $20,000 on account of “Beaconsfield, and why" was il paid over without information being given to honourable gitmbers?
The Chairman-The Govemment "did" not consider themselves liable for the amount. The case was tried in the Supreme Court; as is no doubt known to all honourable members, pro sent, and the Govenment had to pay the money because the case went against them.”
