Sir WILLIAM MULOCK.

I had that in the margin at one time, but in view of our having struck out subsection 1 of section 2, I thought we need not mention section 10. 1 am willing to leave the section as it was. The immigration agent has no power to finally deport but he has the power to detain these people so as not to allow them to get into the interior.

Finally it is the minister. The cases are reported to him. I would move that we have the section read:

Any alien of any of the classes mentioned in section 10 who enters or is brought into .the country.

Section as amended agreed to.

Mr. TAYLOR.

I would suggest the title of the Bill be ' An Act to mutilate the Alien Labour Act.'

I hardly think my hon. friend would press that. I offer another suggestion and I leave it to the committee to choose between us. I move Mr. TAYLOR.

that the title of the Bill be an Act respecting Aliens and other matters. It is an omnibus Bill. But I will not press that matter till to-morrow.

Bill reported.

Mr. TAYLOR.

But the proposition was not accepted. We should have to leave a few contentious items, as there are one or two hon. gentlemen who have some matters to bring up which will take some time.

I realize that we are in the hands of hon. gentlemen opposite. As they have helped us very much in expediting the business we won't press the matter. I move the adjournment of' the House.
