the other members of the House For one
he did not wish to stand in the way of his
being brought into harmony with twenty
two or twenty three stupid members.

Mr.. Melville oppose the recommittal
Mr.. Greer thought the bill should be
killed.
Mr.. Bennion again urged that the bill be
recommitted.

the question then REQUIRED upon the rejec-
ton of the bill.

was engaged in that industry, but he did
not claim any such exemptions as the bill

damage TO the roads, they should be made
to pay for it.

was a disposition in the House TO ignore
the rights of sheep men, but the day would
come when they would get their rights.
