The Licensing Bill.
London, May 18.
Mr S. H. Whitbread, Liberal member for Huntingdon,' addressing his constituents in regard to the Licensing Bill, said that as the Bill was neither moderate nor rational, he must oppose it, contrary to the pledge given to his constituents, and therefore he was prepared at any moment to resign his seat. Mr Whitbread added, "I am not a Chinese cheap labourer, and decline to be kept in a compound and let out to vote exactly as told." The Liberal executive of Huntingdon recently asked Mr Whitbread to resign his seat, but released him on his undertaking to vote for the Bill.
