THE LIQUOR LAW.
THE NEW SOUTH WALES MEASURE. / . United Press Association— By Eleotrio Telegraph — Copyright. ■ (Received December 19, 9.8 a.m.) t SYDNEY, December 19. The Legislative Assembly passed the third reading of a Bill to amemi the Liquor Act so as to make clear that the intention of Parliament was that the votes cast for 80-license, when insufficient to carry no-licenge, should be added to the votes cast for reduction! The proposal met with much opposition on the grounds that the Act had not been declared defective, and that those interested in the liquor trade had gone t6 much expense in preparing to fighi the matter in the Law Courts, and should not be prevented from having a run for their money by the passage of what was little more than panic legislation. Eventually a proviso was inserted that the Bill should not afiect litigation pending in the Supreme Court up to December 17.
