It ibe jury belisvtd him iniaue, il they thought thin wae even a donbt ot hi* eanity, they ehould bave brought in a verdict of not guilty. Tbe tact that they did not do ao wai a proof tbal they thought him lane. Tbe trial began at K>gina wae taken to the htgheet eouM in tbe realm, and Ihe decision was flral, tbal tbe sentence wai tbe sen- tence of th law. The matter then came b#fore tbe Queen's Privy Ooneilof Oanadu, where ivsry member read the evidence and decided earifnlly upon ivery cue. It waa not the doty of the Privy Ounueil lo try a man a teoond time. Tbe Government could not go back to a time anterior to tbe trial and examine at to th* ea&ily of Riel. Tbey could onlv examine tbe prieoner at the time and decide, aa well a* thay cool 1, wbsthar he wae an accountable being.

Ue eaiel tbe prceeDceof minors in billiard roome and olber naming plaoee wae highly objectiona- ble. Though billiard* of llaalf might be barmleM, yel boys learned tbe betel ol gambling ae well ae she game. He pro- posed to prevent minors frequenting the roome withoat the oonerai of their guardian*). Again, theee room* were fre- quently ran in eoaneatioa with eelocce, which wae another evil. Tbe Bill propoeed to place a penally on keepers for allowing mioore to freqoent tbe place, aod on minore for fnqaenting after due warning. Boo. A. 8. Hardy objected to young men being prevented going to bowliot alleje or billiard roome Mil they were SI years of age. If it bad limited the age to 18 they a uld have understood the Bill better. 1 ,tn attain, what waa " being duly waned T ' The Bill propoetd also corporal punishment.

Mr. McLsnjhlin was entirely In favor of the spirit of the Act, though there were com* particular* io which it might be amended. Mr. O'Connor could col vote (or the Bill aa it etood. There) waa an age) when a boy ought uol to go IO a billiard room, but he wou.'J not plaoe Ibe age al 21. Though he thought tbe BUI would pace ae il wee, yel be would point out some of Ibe abearditiea. A keeper ot a billiard-room wai to be dued if he permuted a young man to be present.

M. ttTee wae in favor of the principle ol tbe Bill and thought it eboold go to a aeeool reeling, but eome modinea- uoo miiibi be made aa to the age. Mr. Young aleo favored the general principle of Ibe Bill. It wae not simply ibal you-R Uds spent a great deal ot time tbere but MM a great deal ol money, and eome even went so far en to steal to get it. He iniiKuteJ tbat tbe age limit should be 17 or 18 and the flogging elaaec omitted. Mr. Cvnegie laeeuaced the ezsediecey of tbe flogging eiaaee, bat agreed with tbe Bill in other particulars.

He thoejgbt the law sboold be eo thai mmota would be pre- vented freqaeiiting billiard rooms by the ord r of a parent only. Mr. M oredilb took tbe same views to a great extant ae tbe Provincial Secretary . He iboogbl there wae something in the title of the Bill.
