strike out section six of the bill, which reads
" This act shall be so construed as to re-
quire evidence of willful or intentional
violation thereof in order to carry out the
design of the movers of the bill and to pro-
tect innocent parties. Senators Stevens
and Randall thought the act would become
a nullity if the amendment prevailed.
Senators Peck and Harvey favored the
amendment. The latter did so on the
ground of the manifest impossibility of pro-
curing evidence of wilful intent and the
marked nonsense of leaving such provis-
ion attached to the bill. The amendment
was made and the bill ordered to lie, on mo-
ton OF Senator Dwinell.
