the power of entering their dissent on

the Minutes, which were to be submitted

to the Governor for his final decision. The change has been made to meet the views of many of the Justices of the Peace, who considered it not worth while to attend licensing meetings, if

vested in the Magistrate of Police.

Sec. 20 is new as such provisions were

partly contained in Section 13 of Ordinance 11 of 1844 and partly in the recognizance, Schedule S of that Ordinance.

According to the Schedule no Liquor was to be sold on Sunday except to bona fide travellers; but, as this had never been carried out, it has been omitted, and the hours between which

liquor is to be sold, are to be fixed by the rate.

Sections 28 and 29, repeating Grocers Licenses

Wholesale and Retail, are new and have been

passed at the request of the respectable dealers in Liquor.

Sections 31 and 32 respecting eating houses, Coffee houses,

are new. On account of certain abuses connected with these houses it was deemed

necessary to bring them under Police control and regulation.

They will now pay a Licence of $10 a year, and the keeper thereof will be prosecuted if he allows any disorder or drunkenness to take place on his premises.

All the other Sections are taken from the several Ordinances now repealed,

by Edw J. Ackroyd.

Acting Attorney General.
