EXEMPTION FROM JURY DUTY.
G. B. 22, relating to exemption from jury
duty was taken up. The chair read the bill
very carefully-history, title, body and
all, and when the performance was COM
plete he looked up and enquired what the
House proposed to do with it. Most OF
the seats were deserted and those that were
filled had an open newspaper spread before
the occupants, while q cloud OF smoke
assembled from behind. A number were out
side the rail and still larger number were
grouped in wads OF twos and threes about
desks where other members sat. The chair
raped on the desk and inquired what was
and the chair waited long time in silence.
Then another rap and another question
and Murray got up, newspaper in hand,
and inquired, "What is it, Mr.. Chairman"
The chair, with great dignity, but in a tone
of some irony, informed the gentleman the
number, purport, etc., of the bill and again
repeated the question. Murray then
looked about him for moment and
moved that the bill he indefinitely post
poned.
The motion was put without debate and
the chair was unable to decide. Roberts
voted aye, then sat down and inquired
what ne was votlng on. Wnen tne noes
were taken Whitney broke forth in a mo"
th4t sounded like q protest from bull
calf, while the chandelier in the center OF
the room swung like pendulum. The mo-
tion was decided carried.
G. B. was taken up. This is
THE STEAM BOILER INSPECTION BILL.
Rea wanted it considered by sections.
Mantle wanted the bill read first. This
was done, and the bill was then taken up
and considered by sections.
Mantle moved the adoption OF section
one.
Hunt said that he would present an
amendment making two deputy inspectors
instead OF one. But he thought best for
the committee to arise just now, and he
made q motion to that effect, which was
carried.
Murray then moved that the House take
a recess till 2 o'clock. Carried.
