Vaccination Bill

On the motion for going into Committee to further 
consider this Bill,-
 Mr CREIGHTON moved that the Bill be discharged.

 Mr BARFF would be glad to hear some reasons given
 why the Bill should be discharged. Those honorable
 members who did not understand the principle of the
 Bill, should allow other honorable members to
 consider it. The Bill had been prepared with a
 considerable amount of care, and would work very
 beneficially. It was essentially necessary that a
 Bill of some kind should be passed through the House.
 Although honorable members were desirous of returning
 to their homes, they should not do such an injustice
 as to throw out this Bill.

Question put, "That the Bill be discharged," upon
which a division was called for, with the following
result:-
  Ayes 		20
  Noes 		12
  Majority for 	8

AYES
 BAIGENT, Dillon BELL, BRANDON, LUDLAM, McLEAN,

The Bill was therefore discharged.
