nits an amendment made in Committee to
the eighth section ; making the granting of
licenses discretionary with the Judges, Com
missioners, or Board of Licensers. The
sixth Rectum was amended so that. brewe
ries are to be rated an eating houses. The
Ind was passed in cotmnztt<c of 114.

ing. A motion to restore the additional pay
of 1200 to members of the Legislature was
very 'properly negatived A motion to in
crease the salaries of judges was defeated.—
The salaries ought to'be double what the
are. Mr. Ilodgson's bank bill was consid
ered, and on being put to vote the first sec

the sale of tiSh out of season, and one extend
