of course, the militia did its duty in Cambridge. Often
we find that through police intelligence many incidents
can be prevented. This is why I supported the amendment
by Delegate Bamberger.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate E. J. Clarke.
DELEGATE E. J. CLARKE: Mr. Chairman, I rise
in opposition to the amendment. As Delegate Wheatley
stated, we consulted three nationally accepted dictionaries
on the words "may occur" as against "is imminent."
One was Black's. Final suggestion in Black's Law
Dictionary is that "to the end that justice may not be
the slave of grammar."
THE CHAIRMAN: Any further discussion? Ready
for the question? Question arises on the amendment to
committee recommendation GP-1, Line 15, to strike out
the words "may occur" and insert in lieu thereof the
words "is imminent." A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment, changing the words, a vote No is a vote against
the amendment. All in favor, signify by saying Aye.
Opposed, No. The Noes seem to have it. The Noes have it
call for a roll call. |
