It is not that a record was made. It is not that there is a certificate and defective record. but of no record at all. I do not profess to be familiar with the evidence in the record of this case. but whether the sitting member has produced here evidence sufficient to have entitled him to a record of naturalization and certificate in the court where he says he ob tained it. is unimportant. because wholly inadmissible in the form it is here presented. Mr. Speaker. if there ever was a certificate. and I may concede for the purpose of my argument that there was. the sitting member has not done that which it was his duty to do to entitle him to the benefit of it and the judgment. which he does not even allege was ever entered of record.
