In the House of Commons this afternoon, Sir
Charles Adder.ey, President Of the Board Of Trade,

Trade to prevent unseawolthy vessels from sailing.
In presenting the measure he stated that Mr..

Government because it was based on wrong
principle. Here he was interrupted by
cries Of NO" Continuing his remarks, lie said

ishing offenders il actually takes upon itself the
/ conduct of the marine service. The act Of 1872
already empowers the Government to stop nnsea-
worthy ships. Since that went into effect 05s yes
sells had been stopped, OF which 5l5 were found TO
be unscaworthy. The present bill was intended To
strengthen the Executive facilitate more rapid and
direct action, and provide sufficient number Of
officers to eifectualy detain unseaworthy SHIPS IL
also allows fourth part of the crew to demand .
survey. Finally. it merely earnest of fuller
action to b. had next session.
Mr. sullivan thought the loadne provision for
slowing grain should be engrafted in the bill
Mr. Roebuck denied that the bill would satisfy the
country. He advocated continuing consideration Of
Mr.. Plinsolps ill.
Various other members followed, or less
snring the bill, while wishing to cxtricats tho Gov
