[day,-tho 'opinion! given by Hon. 'j. H. Cameron as to the rights jof the trade under tho alleged grievances of the recent amendment to tl'e Crooks Act was read. Mr. Cameron thinks, that the Local Legislature bos full power under tho Act to deal with the licensing of all shops and saloons, ifec, as the Dominion Government have to deal with questions of trade and commerce. In the course of the1 brief discussion which followed the reading of the opinion,, one gentle man stated that "it would be best for ono man toy take action, and thus test the master, the others coming forward ..with, their means to sup port liim.

The sugges tion to take action was, however, oppostd.by a majority, on the ground that while the action was pending: another Aet;; might be passed through Parliament dealing1 more severely with them than does the present; It was also suggested' that money be subscribed-to pay the cost of getting up ^petitions to the Legislature, requesting that the present Act bo repealed.
