THE LICENSING BILL.
First Clause Carried. London, July 22. Mr Talbot moved that the Licensing Bill should apply to grocers and off licenses. Mr Herbert Gladstone opposed it, arguing that the amendment would necessitate a separate compensation and a new reduction scale. Mr Balfour, in a fiery speech, impugned Government’s sincerity as temperance reformers. They attacked licenses because they wished to plunder the trade and they dared not attack off licenses, because they were afraid to quarrel with their political friends. The amendment was rejected by 308 to 126. With the aid of the closure, clause one was carried by 348 to 140.
