Amendt. on Committee of Supply Mar 2, To
leave out from "That," and add "the
object of the Declaration of Paris respecting
Maritime Law, signed at Paris on the 16th

of doctrine and practice in respect to Mari-
time Law in time of war:

International Maritime Law-The Decl
Paris, 1856-cont.

"That Great Britain being an essentia
Power, this House cannot contemp
an anomalous and unsatisfactory co
international obligations without g
givings :

"That, independently of all other o
tions, the failure, after twenty years
tions to bring about general adhesi
terms, necessitates the withdrawal
Country from what was necessarily
the face of it a conditional and pr
assent to the new rules:

"That this House, whilst desiring to
question of opportuneness to the dis
Her Majesty's Government, and hav
fidence in the repeated declarations
subject of individual members of the
Administration, think it desirable t
an opinion that no unnecessary dela

Division List, A. and N., 1898

Intoxicating Liquors (Ireland) Bill
(Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Dease)

"That it is moreover obvious that the whole
value that might be supposed to attach to
any such Declaration, as changing the ancient
and immemorial practice of the law of na-
tions on the subject, must necessarily depend
on the general assent of all the Maritime c. Considered in Committee; Resolution
States to the new doctrines :

"That the fact of important Maritime Powers,
such as Spain and the United States, having
declined to accede to the Declaration of
Paris, deprives that document of any value
as between the Governments who have
signed it:

"That the consequence of some powers ad-
hering to the new rules, whilst others re-
tained intact their natural rights in time of
war, would be to place the former at a great
and obvious disadvantage in the event of
hostilities with the latter:
