that It should, when preparing the proposed
new organisations, be endeayoured to have
it SO framed that the provisions may be OBJ
served III future and not become dead letters.
There Is one Of the provisions, which
strikes him rs being suited from the
commencement to be a dead letter, namely
lst, that the rule according to which the
right Of estates to sell goods shall be limited
to sales to their own ~Iubourers, can not be
carried out, because it is impossible for the
Police to control it 2nd, that it is useless
to prescribe, that persons carrying TO town
Their produce raised IN the country shall be
provided with Passes to sell, unless it be at
the same time prescribed, for instance that
Squatters shall be furnished with proofs Of
their being Squntters and that therefore
no real control can be exercised that the
parties are offering nothing beyond their
own lawfully acquired property 3rd, that
the provision, that a mechanic who desires to
work for his own account shall give proof Of
his proficiency and skill, IS not in accordance
with the requirements of Danish Jaw, nor
necessitatod by circumstances, and such a
provision cannot possibly be observed in the
future, just as little rs it las been in the
past furthermore that a modest request
10 the Committee to arrange it SO that there
be no enactment in the Law that might
already beforehand be considered OF found
impossible, is a dead letter.
2nd Nember for Froderiksted's Country
District (BIaek1ro2d) said he quite endorsed
the remarks from Bird Crownmember (OIsen);
he would only add that shops on estates
should compete with each other il that is
to be obtained, it should not be enacted that
shops on estates must only sell to labourers
Of the individual estate. He must also

lice, even if it be given a more extended and
appropriate sphere, to control that enact
ment OF selling only to the estates own pe0-
pie and none else when estate owners have
the right to sell, they should also have the
right to sci, not only to labourers from othor
estates, but also to other persons besides
such labourers, for instance 0vorseers. SQUAT
tiers, etc. Neither would the people selling
in the shops be able to control that sales are
applied for and made only to the labourers
of same estate. When the matter of q new
Law on Trades and Occupations was mention
ed in the Council, he had expressed the hope
that it would contain such rules of real prac-
teal worth and util6y as could be kept up
and observed fully and properly, but that
has not been realized in many points of this
Draft. Next Us regards the huckstering,
there can be no doubt of it, that the selling
III tJt NtIN tSbttJc III luC IutAo VI tLlO VIII
age, Of all sorts of things, sometimes things
Of an Objectionable nature, did give rise to
Inconvenience and Disturbances tho general
defects attending that system led to its being
abolished md the present system put in its
stead now it is evident that wemust provide
labourers on the estates such q supply Of good,
wholesome articles as they require and need,
and not compel thSm 60 absent themselves
to go to town for days to buy their food.
Wien shops are allowed, then huckstering
will fall away Of itself. AS regards the AZ
ticles to be offered for sale, that can be can
trolIed, and confined to those mostly needed
by labourers; practice has led to the habit
Of almost everything being now offered forsale,
at times even spirituous liquors and other
strong drinks. AS already stated the
Police Fore is not sufficient for MI
these purpos,,; to add me control
with all who buy, is impossible to exc
cute the labourers change aid wander
30 much about, that you don't know from
day to day the Iabourers employed on es-
tates, especially the squatters and day la
bourers.
