LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY.
SENATE. March 18Th.

SENATE, March Ssh.
The Liquor Bill came up in order
the question being on Mr.. WATSON 5
amendment preventing the sale or boar,
of vessels.
Mr.. FLETCHER considered tn,
amendment unnecessarily as the bill al
ready covered the case.
Amendment lost
Mr.. HOIT moved to amend 18th
section, so rs 10 allow Of two liquor
agents in towns desiring it.
Mr.. THOMAS thought one agent was
enough to sell this almost unnecessary
article.
Mr.. HOYT said the bill proceeded
upon the assumption that liquor was
necessary and his amendment was TO
allow oftyo agents where public convcn-
fence requires il.
Mr.. FLETCHER objected to the
bill as giving two chances where one was
sufficient.
Mr.. HAMLTN was opposed to all
amendments. If a person had to 90 a
long distance for rum, it would seem the
s'rceier TO him in consequence. lie
was in favor of passing the bill wihou.
delay and sending it to the House.
Amendment lost
Mr.. BERRY of Waldo, moved to
amend sect. Il, relative to return of
warrants before justices, striking out
Tho special warrant provision. His OBJ
ject was to make the bill less objections-
bic. lie read from the statutes to show
cha: similar pro -isious existed in other
cases.
Mr.. THOMAS opposed the amend
mcnt.
Mr.. GODDARD supported the amend.
mcn., and opposed the provision as in
conflict with the principle which it OBJ
tains in other cases
Mr.. BURBANK could see no ncccssi-
~ for the amendmcnt--for Justice who
is competent to issue warrant ought Ia
be competent to try it.
Mr.. BERRY OF Waldo. said his
amendment did not deprive the Justice
issuing the warrant from trying it i,
simply permitted the officer to return
the warrant before that justice or some
other. at his option.
Mr.. JONES thought the amendment.
a jus. and proper one.
