ANOTHER LETTER The second letter from Mr. Garvey was dated November 4, and was addressed to the Mayor, and Councillors. In that letter which reads as follows, Mr. Garvey styled himself as Your Humber Colleague. Owing to my confinement am unable to attend the regular sessions of the Corporation for the time being am, therefore, asking you to grant me leave of absence for two and a half months from the 4th instant.
Feeling sure that you will do this, and wishing you abundant suecen.
Alderman Penso asked it any legal opinion had been got from the solicitor to the Corporation on the matter.
The Mayor said no, Alderman Penso it might not be right for him as a layman to give an opinion on a legal matter as the one before them, but it seemed to him that a person who was elected to the Council of the Corporation was not a member until he was sworn in, and therefore, Mr. Garvey required no leave of absence. And the law did not state any stipulated time within which the person should take his seat, and he was not debarred from taking his seat when he made his ap.
pearanee. But, in the meantime, he would like to hear the opinion of their solicitor, and he would move that the matter be referred to the solicitor.
Mr. Beecher: What will be done in the meantime?
The Mayor: do not think you can do better than what has been proposed. So far as the application from Mr. Garvey for leave of absence is concerned, the COUNCIL IS NOT EMPOWERED to grant him any leave, because he has not yet taken the oath, and until he takes the oath he cannot make any declaration.
Mr. Dillon: believe that no member is a member until he has been swom in.
The Mayor: Reis Councillor, but he cannot act in any way until he is sworn in.
Mr. Dillon said the position that arose was this: If what the Mayor had stated was correct, and there was no definite time given as to when the oath should be taken, it appeared to him that when any Councillor was elected, he could keep away from the meetings of the Council indefinitely, and his ward would still be unrepresented so long as he was not sworn in. That seemed to be the argument, but he wanted to ask this question: Was there any place assigned for the swearing in of the member to take place? Was it to be done in the Council Chamber? The Mayor: It should be done wherever an ordinary meeting of the Council is held Mr. Dillon said if it was the law that the swearing in should take place in the Council Chamber at an ordinary meeting, that made the position. very untenable one. Mr.
Garvey was unable to attend at the Council Chamber unless he got leave from the place where he was, and he (Mr. Dillon) did not know if the Governor would grant Mr. Garvey. Continued on Page 8)
