They tried to explain away penny-a-liner. Hut I tell you, what you know, it is a term , of contempt. But what does his own counsel eay ? He tells you that 1 am the first writer in Canada, or one of the tirst, 1 forget which. He says thi-ro was pro- bably nut another man in the world coul'' have written that article but myself. Was it true then to say 1 was a penny-a-liner i His counsel tells you I am an able speaker and a hard hitter. What did his client, say of me ? The ink is hardly dry yet on the paper, in which he said 1 should be lost in the shadow t>f a ministerial walking stick. Do you think he believed that when he wrote it? Well gentlemen I have known the mem- bers of government under Grit and Tory rule, and you know how goverrnnenta are recruited, and do you think he believed that >: Was it true ? I do not think you will think it arrogant on my pait if I say it would be a pretty big walking stick, aye, and a pretty big minister too in whose shadow I should bo lost. Was that written believing it to be true or with the malicious purpose of bringing me into eontenipt ? What are ycju to think of this man ? (ientlenien are we in Bedlam? Is this a phantasmagoric dream ? Is the whole a delusion ? 'I'he Judge sitting ' there ; the Sheriff; the Clerk; the polica Sergeant; you the jury; the two Q.C.'s, ; with silk on their backs; Mr. Johnst He says it is a libellous sheet — is that true ? My learned friend coi.gratulated the bar on not d»>laying you. Certainly we have not delayed you. But 1 must make this re- mark in regard to them — you saw it your- selves — they wished to close my mouth. Were they afraid of the voice of a petty creaturd who could be lost "in theshad:)W of a ministerial walking stick?" Vou saw how they tried to keep out evidence. We had evidence bearing on every point in the pleadings — and why did we not produce it ''. Because they did not daru to go into the inattera contained in the pleadings. The fact is this they found that their case had broken down. You can fancy the conclave. The two Q.C's with silk on their backs, — Mr. Scott presumably one of the tirst lawyers in the Territories, for he is the government prosecutor, and his partner newly Pledged, with his blushing honours fresh upon him, (Laughter.) — and Mr. Atkinson in tweed and they have discover- ed they cannot win on the ni'^rits and one or other says: "our only chance is to send for Hagel." (Laughtei.) My learned friend Mr. Scott is an able lawyer, but they wanted a difierent man; they wanted a man who could address a jury; and my learned friend Mr. Hagel has the repu- tation of being able to pull the wool over the eyes of any jury in Canada. And how does he do it '. Look at the actor he is. Look how he read the article. Ytui 5 yoara aiitl «■ id lie rushes kae f^untleinon hter.)
