Coercion Amendments. HOW THE CRIMES BILL HAS BEEN CUT UP IN COMMITTEE.

|

The crimes bill has been under discussion during seven sittings in committees. Each day has seen old amendments disposed of, and new amendments added. The bill has already undergone considerable alteration inform. Itis plain it will be greatly changed before being reported back to the house. The following are some cof the changes already made. The attorney general must act on sworn information in- stead of on mere belief that the offence has been committed ina proclaimed ci tri t. The resident magistrate who is entrusted with the investigation of a crime for which no person has been charged must have been approved by the lord chancellor as a person of legal knowledge and experience. The inquiry must take place in the sessions court of the district Instead of in any police court on the station. The witnesses on oath must be only such as the examining magistrate believes to be e ipable ot yiving such material evidence. Witnesses, except confessed offenders or near relatives of the parties implicated, may be bound over only by their own recognizance to testify at the sessions. in addition to these altertions, three provisos have been added. Inquiries must be held between 10 a. m. and 6 p. m. The answers of witnesses must be fully reportec in short hand and copies of the depositions must be furnished to the parties accused. The second section of the bil] bas been enlarged so as to set forth a special clause of the act of 1851 to which it ap- plies. The enlargement also provides that when a witness 1s arrested without ser- vice or disobedience of a summons, he shall receives a copy of the complaint on which the warrant for the arrest is issued. Two new sections have been drafted. One pro- vides that when a witness under 12 is examined, the parent, guardian or friend shall be present. all cases the magistrate himself shail con- duct inquiry, anc nobcdy else to be per- mitted to question any witness. The pro- viso accepied by the government entitles witnesses who answer truthfully to a certi- ficate of indemnity as a bar to al) criminal proceedings against them and that no wit- ness shall be compelled to answer if he has been called to testify tur the defence of an accused person. The battle over the second clause of the bill is expected to be even hotter than that over the first. The general impression is that it will be materi- ally changed. The home rulers have so far fought the measure step by step. It is reported Gladstone is unwilling to continue a merely obstructive action, and is endeay- oring to come to terms with the govern- ment by restricting the opposition to really important points in return for concessions.
