TEMPERANCE.
Mr. Baxter, from the Committee on Temperance, returned the Temperance Committee bill [H. R. 337] with amendment, inserting appropriately these words: "And the whole number of votes at the last previous election in any city or town." (Complaints for the infraction of this bill may be prosecuted before a justice of the peace, where the amount in controversy does not exceed $200). The amendment was adopted.
Mr. Glasgow proposed a further amendment (which was adopted by unanimous consent), striking out the words, "of good moral character," and so amended the bill was ordered to the engrossment.
