Shortly before the bells were rung, Mr Myers announced that he w ould vote against the amendment and this practical indication 01 his independent attitude was received with approving exclamations from the Ministerial supporters. He was one ol the tellers for the Government. The amendment was defeated by 36 votes to 26, a majority of ten lor the Government.
