committee, it would be a practical defeat of the bill, and he
must therefore object to the course proposed. He should
be prepared to agree to the amendment of the member for
Dover, to constitute a neu board for the management of
Dover Hat bear.
Sir B. BRIDGES thought that the people of Dover would
be better pleased with the continuance of the present board
than with the body proposed to be created by the amend-
ment of the member for Dover. He should support the mo•
tion for referring the bill to a select committee.
Mr. LIDDELL approved of tho scope and tendency of
the bill, and believed that the terms proposed were equitable.
After some further discussion,
Mr. THOMPSON withdrew his amendment, and the
house went into committee on this bill.
Six clauses were agreed to, and at 4 o'clock the sitting
wasuspended.
At six o'clock the house resumed, and was
