In 17 years the bill has been introduced 15 times and only on one previous occasion was Mr. Sidey successful in getting it through all its stages. He then had a majority of 12 on the third reading, but it was thrown out by the Upper Chamber. The majority against it, however, was only three. Mr. Sidey has had many congratulations on his present success.
