committee though that the present statute
was sufficiently broad to cover all cases EN-.
braced in this bill, for that reason reported
against the bill. He compared the bill
with the law. item by item: The motive
that prompted the introduction of this bill
was undoubtedly good, but If we pass it
we shall mar and deface very good law,
instead of adding anything to its force and
efficiency. So far as boys are concerned,
| he did not believed but it were better to
leave them to the restraint of parents and
the existing.
Mr.. Eddy of Jamaica, thought il very
questionable whether the statute as it now
stands will reach class of cases embraced
in this bill, but that this bill was only add
ing certainty to the present law and was
needed to reach cases that he believed
could not be reached under the present
law. He believed no harm could result
from the bill, but that good would come
| of il and he hODed the bill would be passed.
