have not interposed a single objection, and do not intend to, unless 

 the investigation proceeds beyond the scope that ought to be allowed 

 upon a direct examination. It is now half-past 10 o'clock, and if the 

 committee wish to adjourn, it will be agreeable to us. 



Mr. Cameron. — I move we adjourn to 7.30 p. m. to-morrow. 



Chairman Ryan. — Is there any objection upon the part of any 

 member ? 



Mr. Knevals. — I wish to say a word in personal explanation. I 

 received a dispatch to-day from Col. Fox, of our office, saying that 

 Mr. Garmon had been subpoenaed, but that it was not expected that 

 the commissioners would be present. Subsequently, later in the day, 

 I received another dispatch saying that the clerk of the committee 

 had stated to the officers in the forest commission office that the com- 

 missioners were required to be present; I supposed it was a requisition. 



Chairman Evan. — That arose from a misunderstanding between the 

 clerk of this committee and the clerk of the forest commission. It is 

 moved and seconded that the committee do now adjourn until half- 

 past 7 o'clock to-morrow evening. 



Motion carried, and the committee adjourned. 



Albany, N. T., February 5, 1891, 7.30 p. m. 



The committee met pursuant to adjournment, the following mem- 

 bers being present: Chairman Ryan, Messrs. Connelly, Davie, Hitt,

Mr. Adams. — There is a question I desire to ask Mr. Sanger before 

 the other side examine him, if they shall so desire. 



William H. Sanger, recalled:
