The Licensing Bill.
.. Apropos of the resolution of protest against compensation for botelkeepers for loss of license, i. may be explained that no such proposal bos come, or: is likely to come, before the House. The suggestion was made to the Government thaD,_ following the lead of the Imperial Parliament, a compensation clause Bhould be introduced, which might be built up by an increase of tbe annual license fee, but Cabinet, alter considering the matter, decided not to entertain the compensation idea. Thns the Victualler_'Association's protest baa reference to a matter which is notf-existent, so far as the Liquor Bill is concerned. The cluo clause is causing much concern to club members, and strong efforts are being made to bate it modified in the Legislative Council; but, in view of the large majority that oarried the clauso in the House", no Berious alteration, if any, is likely to be made.
