Consideration of the Kent cast
took up most of the day and the fina
vote was declared about 4 o'clock il
the afternoon. There were two 9th
er special orders. One, taxing prem
iums paid unlicensed insurance com
panies, was ordered to lie on motion
of Mr.. Amey of Brighton as another
bill is being prepared. The othel
bill provides for granting a bount,
for the killing of black bears, which
was passed after a lively debate il
which the damages inflicted by Bru
in was strongly set forth.
One bill was introduced, one othe,
was ordered to lie and three wer'
passed. That makes up the HOus'
record of Tuesdays progress.
Mr.. Amey's Statement.
Mr.. Amey of Brighton. rising to q
question of personal privilege Tues
day morning, objected to a statement
in the Morning Journal that on his
representation H. 342 was hurried
through under suspension of the
rules. He admitted that he intro
duced the bill without reading il
because he had faith in the lega.
ability of the man who drew it, but
said he was not present when the
measure was passed and as
lawyer, did not like to be held III
as responsible for the error.
The Journals representative had
no intention of holding Mr.. Amey OF
any one else, responsible for the
error that was made and thinking
the error itself of more consequence
than the identity of the man whC
asked to have the bill hurried
through, trusted to memory instead
Of records, with no idea that any
injustice was being done.
