The Richmond and Danville bill again
came lD as the special order, and Cap
tain Pattoson. OF Buckingham, opened
the discussion with another TRADE,
wherein he reiterated what he had said
asainst the road on two former occa-
sions.
colonel Gibson briefly replied and re-
f1tcd some Of the statements made by
STR Paterson. He was followed by Judge
N.roi. Of Prince William. who offered a
substitute 10 Mr.. Cabelrs amendment,
providing that an the principal offices
or the road should be located in Nir-
g.nia as far as practicable. The bill
went over al =. NJ. when the roll call
was continued for the passage Of local
bins.
During tho roll call a good deal Of dis
cussi0n arose when Mr.. Siemp. of Lee
county, called up his bill for the re-
Ief Of William Green of Lee county.
THE bin states thar William Green IS
licensed distiller Of ardent spirits. and
wishes 90 sell the productions from his
still az q place on his own premises or
rented premises IN the county, subject 10
existing laws in the state. provided there
Doe but one place for sale.
The bin was seriously opposed by Judge
Nicol and others who thought that If
passed Il would create "A bad precedent
70 was argued by the patron Of the bill
that the petitioner was an old man who
desired % sell his brandy at his dwell
ing house. his distiileiy being about q
mile and a half or two miles away. Dur
iuc the discussion the statement was
made that the disfiller was a preacher,
which statement brought Colonel Logan,
OF Roanoke 20 his feet. who said he
would bot a horse that IL the man was
q preacher he was a Baptist preacher
SIR. Dejarnctte. OF Halifax said he
hoped the bin would be defeated. If it
was true that the man who was bene-
ffed by It was "a preacher. who preached
one thing. while he himself did another
Thing.
The bill was ordered to its third read
ing and engrossment. but when the ques-
zion Of reconsidering the vote came up.
Judge Nicol moved to pass il BY This
motion was defeated. and Colonel Logan
onered as an amendment that the brandy
Dee only sold az the clearinghouse OF the
petitioner which was agreed 10.
When Thar bill was again put TO a vote
ass 90 being ordered 10 its third reading, IL
was defeated by a vote Of 81 TO 30, Mr.
bendheim changing his vote to the mega
tive.
