De Cosmos, had improperly used his political position, while lately in Canada, to attempt to extort a large sum of money - from Sir John A. Macdonald's administration be it therefore Resolved, That a respectful Address be presented to His Honor the lieutenant-governor, praying that he will cause a Royal Commission to be appointed, with full power to take evidence under oath, and send for persons and papers, for the purpose of enquiring into the whole matter, and reporting thereon to His Honor the Lieutenant Governor for publication.
