of Charlevoix during the recent election of a Member to represent that district in

the House of Commons; and that the said men were headed or accompanied by

one Edmond Trudelle, an officer or employé of the Customs Department at Quebec,

district in vehicles, the cost of such hire being charged to the said Honourable

Joseph Edouard Cauchon, who has promised to pay, or directed or caused the

denied these charges; it is ordered that the Standing Committee on Privileges
