After the llousc at least, if not _\lr_ lit-ll, had hecn

.\lr. llell of course opposed tht- llill. It did not

Mr. _lanies llaton followed with :1 nurnhcr of facts
which left Mr. l`lell‘s arguments vt-ry much in the air.
With reference to the enforcement of the law he sub-
mitted ollicial figures comparing the past with the pre-
sent. He produced police court records showing that
in the thirteen years, 1890 to 1902 convictions for
drunkeness' were 2898. while in the thirteen years.
lg02,to 1915 convictions for this offence were reduc--

for drunkeness numbered 183 whilc those for 1916
were 15§ or a betterment of 24. A similar improve-
