Mr. Hamilton in the chair. Hon. Mr. DICKEY had an ob{)ection to the whole of the bill. 1t was a bill affectâ€" ing the rights of property, which were not within the control of this Legislature. It proposed to deal with the sale of all merâ€" chantable liquids, and bis hon. friend might as well bring in a bill to regulate the sale of any other property whatever. Evyen the men who doled out water in the streets at the present moment, in casks, would come under the provisions of this of liquids.

Indeed the ‘bill would prevent any liquids from being sold in any way, unless in a cask that was properly gauged and stamped. This Act was in contravention of the Act of which it was an aniendment. It was said to be an amendment of the Weights and Measures ‘Act. That Act was pasésed with a very different purpose; it came within the purview of the Jominâ€" ion Parliament, and established certain weights anil measures. A.weight was to be so much, and nncrllon was to contain so many cubic inches of liquid. Parliaâ€" ment never proposed to bind parties down so that they o;ould n‘::’make a speâ€" cial agreement, but proposed the _ ver: contrary, â€" because they sailt’i, J;At shall _ be the _ law subject to private . agreement between the p:rlxu. Now, hisg hon.friend came in with a bill that expressly overâ€" rides all that He said, we shall not allow you to sell even a barrel of water unless the cask is stamped and gauged. t would be most inconvenient and unâ€" reasonable in practice.

He. had consuited with _ the Deputy . Minister of Jusâ€" tice, who had stated that the law was unchanged in that particular. . The power was simply vested in the Inspector instead of a Board. No evil had been wrought by the conferring of these powers on a Board, and they considered it necessary that the Inspector should beâ€"elothed with similar power.‘ Objection had also been taken to another clause of the bill in reference to the construction of railways crossing along the highway connected with the Penitenâ€" tiary or portion of ground belonging to it outside the wall.

Mr. TUPPER said of course he could object to this motion on the ground of want of notice, but he did not wish to take that course. At the same time he could not allow this â€"motion to pass withâ€" out moving an amendamént and taking the sense of the House upon i#t. The obâ€" jection ‘he had to the + motion was subâ€" stantially this : It was‘either intended to make this a portion of the Canadian Paâ€" cific Railway, or it was not. As he had stated before, the first Ministry led the House to suppose that the Canadian Paâ€" cific Railway was to run from Nepigon to Red River, and the hon. member from South Bruce admitted that he so underâ€" stood the Prem‘er. This was what the hon. gentleman.said: "I quite admit that it was a general beiief on the part of members with reference to one detail of this policy to which the hon. gentlemn has alluded, that Nepiggn would be taken as the Lake Superior terminus.‘" The hon, gentleman could only have supposed that from the statement of the First Minister. 1 uD o i un e+ (14+ Saiks Apecamcbt 1 "‘That the said contract be not ap proved." $ Mr. SPEAKERâ€"That is hardly: an amendment. _ It is a direct negative. Mr. PLUMBâ€"Is the Mr. Tufton, menâ€" tioned in that contract, the partner of Mr. Glass, of the telegraph oamxy, who is e_urat.,y for the contractor for the telegraph on the table, pro »ased to be eniered into with Sifton and W.rd, for the construction of that portion of the Pasitic Railway beâ€" tween Cross Liake and Red River, °fiom, soventyâ€"sgven miles in length, at a cost of $402,950, the said parties having been the lowest tenderers willingw proceed with the work and furnishing the required security. 4 that _ the _ Government ‘committed themselves, as |â€"I recollest the asâ€" sertions _ made llu‘%cm the â€" points." The First Minister not yet stated that it was his intention to make this line from Thunder Bay & portion: of the trunk line, bepause if that were his intention it would involve the buildi::fof 60 miles of adâ€" ditional railway and the making of the trunk line 60 miles longer. A proposition so monstrous es that could hardly be conâ€" templated, and ‘that was the reason why the i:‘irst Minister had never stated that he intended to make this :-sut of the trunk line. He: would what the hon. member for South Bruce had said on the occasion he referred to: "As I recollect the discussidhs, it was left to be decided upon by subsequent surveys, but there was certainly in my own mind, and, I believe, in the minds of others, an impression that it was more likely that Nepigon would be taken as the Lake Suâ€" perior terminus.". The hon. gentleman had beenvery careful to guard himself against stating b.tl?ut the line lfrom Thunâ€" der Bay was to be a portion of the main line. The Govw G_gmhsd let these contracts without any rity in law toâ€"ydoâ€"so. This was either to _ be*" their "* trunk line â€"or 4 branch, If it was a branch, Mr. Fleming‘s map showed the distance to be 150 miles from Thunder Bay to the main line. ~But assuming it was anly one half of thatâ€"and the hon. First Minister had admitted himself that it would bo 70 milesâ€"that would involve an expenditure, at the lowest calculation, of :27810 ‘0J0. 'l’herefm if this line was not to be a part of the n line, the contract now before the. House involved theâ€"expenditure of that enormous sum of money without any authority for it in the statute book. An% as he .said . before, if it w is to be part 0 the main ling, it involved the construction of 60 miles additional railway.~ The law auly proviil:,d for two bxmcheouâ€"‘-mo from eorgian to a;point south and east of Lake Nop?on, ‘and . the other from Pembina to Fort Garryâ€"so that there was no authority far the building of the Thunder Bay line if it was to be regarded as a branch, He &omfmued the following ,resolution in ment, seâ€" mled ‘Py Sir JOHN MACDONALD, ing, bridging and practically preparin the road for the road bed ; but they difi not include rails, balhsfil}g and ties The first contract is for about forty«five mil and the other seyentyâ€"seven miles, am the price is nearly $8,500 per mile. The motion was carried.
