a car didate for the representatson of the burghs, in oppo-
sition to Mr. Merry; but had duelined, as be deprecated
the running of one liberal against another. It was
only after he learnt that another candidate was
to be brought forward, and that in all pro-
bability Mr. Merry would be supplanted, that he
agreed to appear before the electors. In adverting
to the Reform Bill, he said if it had beets passed ea it
was introduced it would have been the meet mischievous
bill that ever was laid on the table of the House of Com-
mons. There was not a caure in it that was good that
was rot introduced by Mr. Gladstone and lie supporter
in epite of Mr. Disraeli and his friends. Awaking of the
Itiili ditch question, he said it was mixed up with so
many interest., so many prejudice., and so many honest

deputation from the Bilge' Licensed Victuallen' Society,

the Permissive Bill and the Sunday Clotnig theition. In
the course of the interview Mr. Morley 'Amery! three
questions that had been, put to him by the Licensed
Victuallers' As

he first question was as follows:
---•• Will you vote, if returned to parliament, against the
Permissive Bill, which gives power to two-thirds of the
inhabitants, in any township or place, to prohibit the
renewal and granting of public-house licenser V" Mr.
Meshy Lad no bcdtatiou In repeating what he add
in April, that he was enable to take -that extreme
