who can testify from his own knowl-

.. Did you examine the copy your
self? A. ! did.

18th.
Q. And is the copy which YOU have
in your hand. the copy at that time
SO examined A. Yes, sir.
Mr. PATTANGALL: We still OBJ
jcct.
The SPEAKER; For what reason?
Mr. PATTANGALL If your Hon
ors please, it is but yesterday when
| offered To recall Mr. Owen to the
stand and ask him nTegard To licenses
in Maine, and when the Presiding Of
;W II ruled me out of order, l said that
MIR, owen had testifi ed to LICENSES in
one county, and he said To MD with-
out objection | presumed the infer
encc was that if j had objected |
would have had some rights else the
Presiding officer would not have said
that,
The SPEAKER: The chair under
stood that counsel meant the manner
i'll which the evidence WAS presented.
the scope. The Chair understood that
the reason for the introduction of the
evidence yesterday, WAS 10 cover the
county in question. Tile char ruled
that evidence as to other counties WAS
inadmissible, and will still make the
same ruling today. As To cumberland
county the Chair rules that evidence
as TO licenses i'll Cumberland County
is material, for other counties, as lar
as appears, it is immaterial.
Mr.. PATTANGALL. | assume that
the remark OF the Chair To me, that
it was without objection vas a
jocular remark
The SPEAKER: 1t was not intend
ed as a jocular remark, ii WAS intend
ed to be perfectly. serious.
Mr.. CBEANES: Bro Pattansall ell
trely mis-recolleets The situation. Al
the time when he wanted to intro
ducc record of the payment OF the
liquor taxes in other counties the sug-
gestion was made by him that Mr..
owen had already testified that there
were twelve hundred licenses III the
State of Maine. That was the time
when the Presiding officer asked if 1t
was objected to. and it was stated no.
1t didn't have reference To the OBJ
lection To the introduction of the pay
ment of the liquor license tax IN the
County eff Sagadahee. and the record
will bear me out in that,
Mr.. PATTANtiAEL; | think the
Speakers recollection will agree witt
mine that it was on cross examination.
that the matter of twelve hundred Ii
cenSes in Maine was brought out. O.
course | would not object 10 my own
question.
The SPEAKER: The matter so far
as it relates to yesterday is immaterl-
al, except as it is Il precedent Tor to-
days proceedings. The Chair does nor
understand that the situation is any
different or that the ruling is any DIFF
ferent than it was, yesterday.
Mr.. PATTANGAL!4; Then l misap-
pretended entirely Che suggestion OF
the Chair when | vas asked MI.
owens testimony didn't go i'll without
objection.
The SPEAKER: Counsel inferred
that if it had been objected to II
would not have been admitted
Mr.. PATTANGALL: oh, certainly.
The SPEAKER: The suggestion bs
the Chair had reference to the manner
in which the testimony was introduced
and did not so 10 the nature, scope or
purpose of the testimony, but 10 ihs
manner of its introduction. He testi-
fled from a copy without testifying as TO
an examination by him personally.
Mr.. PATTANGALL:5 OF course the
Speaker will bear me out in saying that
that phase of the question was not DIS
cussed by me or him directly
The SPEAKER: 1t did not appear to
be necessary at that time.
Mr.. PATTANGALL: And the obJee-
ton is entered, of course. on the record.
The SPEAKER: OF course. all obJec-
tons are entered.
Mr.. PATTANGALL: We ask for an
appeal
The SPEAKER: The same ruling will
be made that was made before. thai I'M
der the rules established by. the Leeis-
lature the Chair has no power to enter
tain an appeal.
MIR. PATTANGALL: Aud the refusal
Of the appeal will appear on the record!
The SPEAKER: Certainly
O. Mr.. owen, proceed with the read
ing of the list of the payment Of the
retail liquor dealer tax within the city
of Portland, from the examined coz
that you hold before you, examined by
YOU personally. upon March II of this
