Abstract
A letter from Sir John A. Macdonald to Senator McCallum 12 July 1889 reads: "I have yours of the 8th inst. Woods instructions will be simply to investigate and report on the charges brought against Mr. Ellis by you.
I don't think the Governor General can be asked or would consent to the suspension of Mr. Ellis before his trial. That would be contrary to the spirit of British justice.
I have instructed them at Ottawa to see that Mr. Wood has power to examine witnesses under oath."
