'1'11e Senate Have decided to 108181 upon
their amendments to the Bill amending the
Haat Act and the B(11 will be sent beck to
the Ilot1ao of Coleman» with the wino and
beet' cl1118oe restored. T11a question came
ep in the Senate last Tuesday evening.
Sir Alexander Campbell undertook to
champion the anti.tenlpm'ance chump. air.
Vidal moved that the Senate should not
insist upon its amendment striking out the
clause imposing penalties upon doctors,
magistrates, and ethers for gran1105liquor
certitiaate1 improperly, Sir Alexander
Campbell advised the Ifouso to adhere to
its veers': of )1 few days ago. Tho Home
of Common» had not given aufficieut 00110-
en for restoring its penalty clana5 as 1110
Act aheady provided for the punishment of
persons violating the Act. It would bo an
outrage to have doctors and clergymen
dragged summarily before any seat of a
justice of the peace to answer charges of
granting certificates for liquor improperly.
Sir Alexander's :notion waa carried by 15
to 30, Mr. Vidal then moved that the
Senate should not insist upon the wine and
boor amendments, Sit' Alexander Camp-
bell moved that the amendment should be
/ulster] on, as the reasons given by the
House of Commons for rejecting the am-
cndmcnt were not sound. This Parliament
was not bound by the Act of any preceding
Parliament, and those cities and counties
which adopted the Scott Act had no right
tola0s1me that it would not be repealed for
throe years, so that there was no compact
to ho broken. This Parliament was free to
do as it pleased in rho matter, The House
of Commons had misrepresented the law
because all that was provided was that no
executive action should he taken to repeal
the Act in any particular county within
three years, Ho assigned a0 0. reason for
insisting on the wino and beer (lanae that
it was desirable in the true interest of tem-
perance. This was as true as anything
could be, and moreover ii bad been passed
inlamnpliancos with the expressed 01'101108
of a large proportion of the oleaterate. Sir
Alexander's notion was supported by
Messrs. Plumb and Dickey, and opposed
by Messrs. Scott and Vidal. The House
then divided on Sir Alexander's amend-
ment, which W0a married by 30 to 1111. Fol.
