TRADE WITH THE ENEMY.
As was to be expected, there was a full drees debate in the Legislative Council Chamber yesterday on the Bill entitled "a Ordinance for the more effectual preventing and further punishment of the offence of trading with the enemy." The Government, for reasons of expediency, desired to take the course of passing the measure through all its stages at one sitting, and though the weight of the Official vote rosulted in this line being puraned, the end was not attained without a protei! frora the Unafficial members agninet the procedure, as well as against the principle of the Bill. The opposition spoke out its mind clearly and to the point, in terms quite free from ambiguity, and oradit certainly must be given the Unofficial spokesman for hiring very definite convictions on the subject under discussion and for not hesitating to give voice to
hose convictions in plain language.
There was also a further charge of having in his possession a re- volver and ten rounds of revolver ammunition without the licence of the Captain Superintendent of Police.
