Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1884-06-27

The House bill passed extending to
water transportation routes the provisions
OF the statutes hitherto applied to land
routes only regarding the immediate
transportation of dutiable goods.
The legislative bill was then proceeded
with, the pending question being an
amendment proposed by the Senate Ap-
preparation Committee to strike out the
clause permitting distillers mashing ten
bushels or less grain per day to be run
without storekeepers, and inserting in
stead provision amending the Revised
Statutes, so as to forbid collector from
hereafter approving the bonds of grain dis
tillers, the survey OF whose distilleries shall
be for less capacity than ten bushels OF
grain per day, and so as to forbid, under
penalties, the distillation of less daily
quantity than that,
The point of order being raised that the
amendment recommended for insertion
was new legislation, and therefore OBJ
noxious to the rule forbiding such legis-
lation in appropriation bills, the Chair
sustained the point of order, and the new
clause recommended was not adopted, but
the committees recommendation to strike
out.the House clause was, however, agreed
to.
