Compensation CLAUSE.
LONDON, June e6.-In the House Of

the Speakers ruling on the questio
whether there was any precedent for an
ear-mArk licensing fund. In making
this request Mr.. HsAly was supported
by Mr.. Gladstone and Sir William Yer

The Speaker made . long speech In
which he gave 1t - his opinion that
there was NO precedent for such fund.
To allow an sar-markins license fund
to accumulate, ~ the Government pro-
posed, he thought was . grave innova-
Non which the House itself ought to
decide upon; and he considered that
Mr.. Healy was fully justified in raising
the question. The Speakers ruling
was received with cheers by the oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Balfour said he thought the
Speakers decision would not apply to
the Irish part of the bill.
Sir George Campbell, . Liberal,
advised the Govern mont to eat the
remaining bit of leek and drop the
compensation clauses altogether.

proclamation of an anti. compensation
meeting by the Nottingham magistracy.
At this point the Ministers retired to
Mr.. Smiths. room to discuss the Speak
er's opinion on the ear-marking license
fund. Lord Harrington and Mr.. Cham
bsrland, who were also summoned to
the conference, advised the Cabinet to
drop the clause.
No definite decision was arrived at,
but II 10 said that Mr.. Ritohie and Mr..
Goshen have recognised the tmpossi-
btlAty OF retaining the clauses, and will
