The Bill was then reported with the amendments, which were ordered to be considered at next sitting. On a motion for the adjournment of the House, < Mr G. J. Smith obtained leave to make a personal explanation. He said he was returned to the House against the wishes of certain members of the Ministry, and since then he had been subjected to things he resented veryi much. He did not receive an invita tion to the caucus of the Government party held this week, and as the fact ihad been telegraphed all over the colony, he wished to place his position before the public. The whips informed him his exclusion from the caucus was intentional, as his attitude towards Government during the session was such as led them to believe he was not a member of the true Liberal party, In reply to this, he had to say that the only policy measure he did not vote for was the Consols Bill. It had been stated m the lobbies by Ministers that they considered their party too large, and if they could force some of them over into opposition they would be j only too glad. While he came here to support the Liberal policy, he was not prepared to sink his individuality m any way. The Hon. John McKenzie said he had never looked on Mr Smith as a member of the Liberal party, and never knew he claimed to be a member of that party until to-night. Sir Robert Stout said Mr Smith was something more than a liberal. He was really a Radical. Mr Hall-Jones said he had always known Mr Smith to hold extreme radical views. Mr Collins expressed regret that any friction has occurred, and although opposed to Mr Smith on many ques tions, he must say he had always re garded him as a Radical. Mr G. J. Russell said a larger ques tion was at issue than that affecting one man. The question was whether the leaders of the liberal party should have the right of adjudging who were members of that party. He con tended the party had no right to shut Mr Smith out from the caucus, when others like Mr Saunders, who had taken a strong stand against Govern ment, were invited to attend. Mr Seddon said Mr Smith must have referred to the Minister for Labor m stating he (Smith) was re turned against the wishes of some members of the ministry. Mr Smith—l said some ministers, but do not include the Colonial Treasurer m the number. Mr Seddon continued, and said Mr Smith had always been treated by the Ministers with every consideration and courtesy. If he felt aggrieved, his duty was to have spoken to him on the matter, and neglecting to do this he had made a mistake. On sixty occasions up to September 13 Mr Smith had voted against Government —•(Mr Smith: Was it on matters of principle or detail?)— and how could the Ministry under such circumstances look upon him as a supporter. It was unreasonable to expect them to do so. The Liberal party was never so strong as at present, and m the interests of the people it was his duty to keep it strong, and not try to drive members into opposition as stated by Mr Smith. Members could not be of the Liberal party and yet constantly vote against Government. It was now for the Hon member by his works to show that he •was true Liberal. The House rose at 8.30 a.m.

The Licensing Act.

xhe Sbtlllngr Stand Seer.

Before the S.M. to-day, Philip Crura, remanded from last Thursday, was charged with selling liquor without a license and also for expobing iiquor for sale without a license, contrary to the Licensing Act, at the racecourse. The Sergeant said he had been unable to find records of the authorities which he had alluded to on the previous week. He rested the case on the contention that the beer being exposed for sale was an inducement to people to pay the shilling. Mr Cuthbertson, for defendant, ad mitted the facts, but submitted that they could not possibly be construed to be a sale. A sale meant a transfer of pro perty for a monetary consideration. As to the barrels being exposed to view, people would not know whether they were full or empty until they got there. If defendant had charged an additional fee, it might be brought m as a breach of the Act. It was contended that the beer was an inducement to enter the stand. The Bench—Yes, to * thirsty man. Mr Cuthbertson submitted that the Racing Club were then also liable. They provided refreshments and liquor m the saddling paddock, and a charge was made of five shillings. He considered the cases were perfectly analogous.—The Sergeant rose to explain that the liquor was m the Stewards' private room, and no person could go m except by invitation of the stewards. He had seen persona refused admission,, The Bench—That makes it a diffierent thing. Mr Cuthbertson —It docsa't alter the facts. The Bench—Yes it does, Mr Cuthbertson—The cases are analo gous. The Bench—No there is a very great and important distinction. The Bench asked the sergeant which of the two charges he would rest the case on, and the sergeant elected to choose the charge of exposure for sale; so* that- the other charge was withdrawn. After consideration the Bench said that the facts submitted were that the defen dant had been tha keeper of a stand at the racecourse, known as the shillingstand, the usual fee of admission to which was one shilling. He exposed on the top of a tier of the stand, to public view of per sons on theracecourse, two barrels of beer, and persons paying one shilling for admit tance were enabled to have the beer, and persons were seen to enter and help them selves. It waa obvious that the beer was calculated to attract a number of persona to enter, and pay the shilling and get it, who would not otherwise have done so ; and a profit was thus given to the keeper of the stand from the exposure of the beer. To constitute a sale it was nob necessary bo show that money had actually passed, if the court were satisfied that a transaction of such a nature had taken place. The effect of the stratagem was an inducement to get the beer. He thought that under the circumstances a fine of £5 Is would meet the case, with expenses 15s. Leave to appeal was granted.

In his opinion there was no furious driving. Thought the pace ten or twelve miles an hour. The horse was a very quiet one and easily controlled.-—Defendant admitted that while showing the horse's paces he might have been travelling twelve miles an hour, but while passing through the crowd was | only travelling at the rate of three or four miles an hour. He could stop the horse within its own length.—His Worship con sidered the rate was too fast for the streets of the town, and fined defendant 10a and costs.

The tools were valued by plaintiff at £2 10s, and he considered want of the tools had cost him £B.—Bobert Young gave evidence that several of the articles claimed were the property of plaintiff.—Defendant denied that the tools claimed were the property of plaintiff. Mr Young conducted his own defence in a particularly vigorous manner, submitting the plaintiff and the witness to ■evare cross-examination, and at the con clusion of the hearing, which lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour, the Bench non suited plaintiff on the ground that ownership of Use articles claimed, was not proved;,
