'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Parliament, and those cities and counties which adopted the Scott Act had no right tola0s1me that it would not be repealed for throe years, so that there was no compact to ho broken.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.
