We lay before our readers to-day an

Probably in tIe whole range of ques.

This debate .s reported. condensed

Yessly obsenred in the nYists of a parlia

We presume it has before this become
a law, but until we know its exact shape
and provisions, we. cannot avoid a little
solicitude as to its efficacy.
