It was pointed out that there is no definition o! "intoxication? that s man suffering (win some physical disability may quite easily be mis- taken for an intoxicated mm by a cosual passer-by; that the section opens the way to grave abuses u it permits any spiteful person to lay charges of drunkenness against neighbors, however respectable. The amendment was supported by the Premier, Mr. Wtllhi. sud Mi’. Mac- Phee. Hon. Dr. Grunt was inclined to agree with the Qlilwsition. He really believed the blauae wis dan- gerous. Ha wuld not oppose it, how- ever. ‘

The suggestion by the Opposition that tbs clause be amended to pro- vide that testimony in this connec-

Hon. Mr. McIntyre. Minister of Public Works, was the only Liberal member who remained seated when the "Nays" were called. He did not vote one way or the other. Hon. Dr. Grant, after haviril expreued his disapproval of tho clause. hesitated for a considerable time and finally got to his foot lust before the vote was counted. ,

The clause as read was then car- ried.

Other amendments included the provision that the surplus money 0n hand in the Rohibltion Commission office on the lat dsyl of June and December of each year over and above the sum of" $300 shall be paid over to the Provincial Treasurer “if demanded by him."
