Sir Patrick Buckley is stated to be the selection of the Government to succeed Judge Richmond, and Mr Guineas will probably be appointed Attorney-General. Considerable changes are to be made in the Cabinet. Mr Buddo is preparing a number of amendments to the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Bill. He proposes that only one bar be allowed in any licensed house ; that any traveller entering or being found on any licensed premises within a distance of five miles of the licensed premises he may have called at for refreshment, shall be liable to £2 fine unless he can prove he has business there or is a lodger. Any person not an inmate, servant, or lodger found on 'licensed prmises during closed hours shall be fined £2: anyone giving a false name when so found shall be fined £5; any person endeavouring to secure liquor by false pretences to be fined £5. Air W. Hutchison proposes amendments prohibiting the licensing of any hotel containing a billiard table. He proposes that no woman other than the licensee shall be allowed to sell liquor in the bar : no liquor is to be supplied to any woman or to any person under 16; all bars are to be closed on the weekly half-holiday. The Local Government Bill is new ready, but the Government has refused to permit representatives of the County and Municipal Conferences to see it.
