Excerpt from Speeches of Hon. Edward Blake, M. P., On the Criminal Law Amendment Bill: Tuesday, 15th April, 1890 Be it resolved, that we ask that Sir John Thompson's Bill to further amend the criminal law be amended by inserting the word statute in place of 'law. In addition to that, some eight or ten delegates, representing all the trade and labor organisations, waited upon the First Minister, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Marine and myself, the other day, and made the request that the simple change should be made in my Bill of in serting the word statute for law. I think the section I have proposed will be an improve ment, and gives them further protect-ion even than that; but considering, as the hon. Member for West Durham has said, that it meets the request put forward by these organisations, and, as far as I can see, meets all the practical difficulties, it would be well to rest content with that much for the present, at any rate, unless a practical case is put forward calling for a change. Mr. Curran. Judging by the observations of the hon. Member for West Durham (mr. Blake), it would appear as if there will not be as much protection as formerly. What we must also take into consideration is the fact that these organisa tions are advised by legal gentlemen outside, 'whose views are very different to those expressed by hon. Gentlemen here. I have often myself, when con versing with these people, found that points which appeared very clear to me, were taken exception to by them, under advice given them elsewhere. The hon. The Minister of Justice has met the request of these people on their own ground, and, per haps, to some extent improved upon it. It is probably well to give them what they ask.
