a ssnsation Caused nv Ruling of
the Speaker,

LospoS June ~ In the commons to-
night Healy asked the speaker to rule
on the question of whether there was
any precedent for an ear.msrk licensing
fund.
The speakers reply created a sensa-
tion. He made Ions speech
giving the opinion that there
was no precedent ior such a fund. 10
allow an car-makIng license fund, he
thought, was IA grave innovation, which
he ouse ought to decide, The ruling
was received with opposition cheers.
After further debate the ministers re-
tired to discuss the speakers opinion.
Lord Harrington and chamberlain ad-
vised the cabinet to drop the clause. No
definite conclusion was arrived
at but IL was understood that
Richie and Goschen recognized the
impossibility Of retaining the clause,
and will allow IL to be dropped, whl le
retaining their portfolios.
ON returning to the house, Smith
asked that further consideration OF the
bill be postponed to give the government
time to consider the speakers ruling.
lie promised to announce the decision
next Thursday.
