" st Richmond one cent shall be stfiken out.
2 This act shall be in force from its passage.
Mr.. JOHNSTON said II We ere likely TO temain
here much longer he woult like Tor that bill to
lie on the table, 10 that the business men of Rich
mond, who are Interested in 1t, might have ON OPP
| portunity TO examine IL.
Mr.. HARMAN replied that the bill had been
| framed from common sense view of the subject
| Its object was TO equalize the inspection Zee.
| Why any discrimination should be made in favor
| OF Richmond, he was unable TO see. The inspec-
tor here wss entitled to the same Zoe that the in
| spectors elsewhere received. The reduction to
one cent was got up by merchants with the view
| OF diVerting trade 10 ttis city.
Mr.. JOHNSTON said the proposition is TO give
the inspector two cents per barrel instead OF one.
II that is not one.siied proposition, he did not
know what ia. He knew that the inspections
here were enormously large in ordinary tines
and that the inspector was handsomely paid for
his services. IL was rather an important and
tender business to be legislating on the subject
at this time, and in common justice to the citi-
zens Of Richmond we should give thom an OPP
portunity to be heard upon the subject.

that the gentleman (Mr HsrmaD) would let the

words and he should certainly 60 for striking out
