HOUSE of ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE, Friday, March 14, 1788. [Continued.]
The House went into Committee on the engrossed Bill from the Senate, for laying a tax on dogs: Mr. Strang in the Chair.
After the Bill was read, Mr. Benson moved to substitute a clause, in the room of the first enacting clause of the Bill, which he thought would better answer the purpose.
He had no doubt but that it was perfectly right to lay a tax on dogs; he believed they were an injury to the community. The great destruction of sheep by them; the frequency of their getting mad and endangering the lives of the citizens; and in many instances where lives had been lost by them, were circumstances worthy of notice. They were proper objects for taxation; first, that if any person had a dog that he supposed useful, he could and ought to pay a tax for him; if he was useless, he could easily get rid of the tax, and should think it no hardship to be obliged to part with him.
Mr. Brooks said, there were heavy charges exhibited by the Attorney-General against the poor dogs. But should it be an argument against the whole, because some of them have done mischief? It was true accidents had happened, and lives had been lost by dogs; but had not accidents also happened from other animals? Many lives had been lost by horses. That way of reasoning was not fair: He did not think it beneath him to advocate the cause of a dog; honorable mention had been made of them in all ages. The Attorney-General had said that they were useless; he would contend that unless they were useful they would not have been made; it was too severe a censure on the works of creation. Should the Legislature pass a law to cut off the whole race of dogs, what good purpose would it answer? If any one species of animals should be taxed, why not tax horses? He hoped the Committee would neither agree to the Bill nor the amendment; no money would be raised by it, and it would only be productive of the death of dogs. They were particularly serviceable to the husbandmen on the frontiers.
Mr. Sickles said, to save time, he moved for the rejection of the Bill.
Mr. Benson said, if gentlemen were persuaded that it was useful to keep dogs, that then they would reject the Bill. The gentleman who was an advocate for the poor dogs, did not apprehend the reasons why they were proper objects for taxation: was the dog an useful animal, the owner should pay a tax; was he useless, he could not complain if he was taxed for keeping him. He would contend, that they were a nuisance; and he was yet to be persuaded that every farmer wanted one. With respect to their being useful on the frontiers, he did not believe that there was one dog in a hundred that would attack a wolf. The idea of a tax on dogs was not new, and in ancient times they were supposed dangerous and unnecessary: In the time of the Romans, it was an offence against the law to keep a dog near the public highway.
Mr. Brooks said, to speak seriously, he believed that a tax on dogs would be improper. It must be agreed that a dog was a useful animal; but if a tax was laid on them it would be ineffectual; no man would own a dog; they would say that they did not belong to them; and the consequence would be that nothing would be collected. Dogs were serviceable to tanners, and to other persons; they protected the property of their masters against the midnight thief. The question was called for, and the Bill rejected without a division.
Went into Committee on the Bill for extending the powers of the Commissioners of the Land-Office, to the cases therein mentioned:
Mr. Doughty in the Chair. In this Bill was inserted the clause for the sale of Nutten-Island.
A clause was also inserted for the relief of John Guernsey.

Smith, Veeder.
Affirmative.—Messrs. Winant, Nevin, Patterson, Silvester, Webster, Graham, Low, Verplanck, Sickles, Brooks, Lewis, Harrison, Winn.
A motion was then made by Mr. Low, for granting to Donald Campbell 30,000 acres of Land, on his paying 1s. per acre for the same, in Certificates.
This was carried in the affirmative.
Affirmative.—Messrs. Winant, Niven, Silvester, Tearse, Baker, Patterson, Speaker, Strang, Van Orden, Arent, Webster, Savage, Graham, Low, Verplanck, Sickles, Younglove, Brooks, Lewis, Tompkins, Harrison, Winn.

Mr. Schoonmaker gave notice, that he should move for the re-consideration of the clause to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Jones, a clause was inserted, that no certificates issued by Deane, Fox, Burrall, Pennel, Benfon, and Pierce, should be received for payments into the Land-Office.
The Committee rose and reported progress.
Went into Committee on the Bill to enable the Commissioners of Forfeitures for the Western District, together with Goldsborough Banyar, and the heirs of Peter Remsen, deceased, to convey the lands therein mentioned to the present possessors:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair. Mr. Speaker moved a substitute to the Bill, which being agreed to, the Committee rose, and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed.

Mr. Verplanck from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of P. V. B. Livingston and others, respecting West-Hook, reported that the prayer thereof ought to be granted, and leave given to bring in a Bill at the next session of the Legislature for that purpose, first advertising the same.
On the question to agree to the report, after some debate, it was carried in the negative.
Mr. Lewis from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of John Peter Rivervang, reported that he ought to be relieved, as the facts in the petition appear to be well supported.
The consideration of this report was deferred till the next session.
Went again into Committee on the Land-office Bill:
Mr. Doughty in the Chair: Mr. Schoonmaker moved for the re-consideration of the question respecting Donald Campbell.
This being agreed to, the question was again taken on the clause, and the division appeared as follows:

Mr. Tompkins in the Chair. After the Bill was read,
Mr. Harrison observed that at an early period of the Session he had moved for the
repeal of the former Insolvent Act. The many frauds which had been practised under it, to the injury of the fair creditor, was his motive for acting. He had no wish that there should be no relief for the unfortunate and honest debtor; so far forth as the Bill was calculated to effect that purpose, he should agree to it; as it now stood, many alterations were necessary, which, in going through, he should suggest to the Committee: and he thought it might be modified so as to afford ample security to the creditor, while at the same time it extended relief to the debtor.
As the Bill stood, it required only two-thirds of the creditors to sign off on the motion of Mr. Harrison it was altered to three-fourths.
By this Bill, no person can be a petitioning creditor who has a mortgage or other security, unless he gives up the same for the benefit of all the creditors; and in case a creditor has such security, and declines giving up the same, the amount of his debt is to be deducted from the sum owing by the said debtor, in order that the signing of the three-fourths may be easier obtained. And a creditor swearing that a greater sum is due to him than he can prove, forfeits double the sum he swears to.
After some further progress made in the Bill, the Committee rose.
A message was received from the Senate, with a resolution for concurrence, that the next meeting of the Legislature should be at Schenectady; this was disagreed to by the House. [The division on this resolution, and the motion that followed it, appeared in our paper of Friday the 21st inst.]

S L E N D E R, WILL cover for the Season at Sans-Souci, Col White's farm, 6 miles from New-York, on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Savannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning his scions, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars.
Slender is a five bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, length and speed are superior to any horse ever imported.
From England. He was bred by the Duke of Queenberry, who took three mares with him at New-Market, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sporting calendars of 1762 and 1763. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second spring meeting, 1762, and at the July one following, 1763, took both purses, and beat 25 of the first colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing calendars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Deering; Mrs. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgil; Mrs. Pultney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Paxton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tattersall's bay filly got by Eclipse; Mr. Parker's chesnut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chesnut colt got by his Arabians; Lord Egmont's bay filly got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay filly got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweet Briar; and Mr. Golding's chesnut colt got by Sweet Briar, were the thirteen that run for the first purse. The twelve that started for the second purse with Slender were Lord Offoy's Coxcomb; Mr. Collins's Gill-flower; His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Egmont's Countess; Mr. Pultney's Straight-leg; Duke of Grafton's Hailing; Lord Clermont's Cat; Mr. Pegot's Maypole; Mr. Vernon's chesnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay filly got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweet William, and Mr. Tattersall's filly got by Metaph. At New-Market, the first spring meeting 1763, Slender, at 4 years old, took the purse, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gameter, and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge, the July following, he took the purse, and beat Mr. Delly's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is still brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the first horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1762 and 1763, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Paymaster, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Commodore Brag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won purses at New-Market. Slender's granddam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Miss Cleveland, who is the dam of that well known son of Old Snap, Tagger-gill; he is also the sire of Tandem's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, Witch, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shafto refused 1800 guineas for Tandem, when he was 15, 5 years old. Slender's granddam was also a daughter of Sore Heels, which mare was the dam of Marchfield's South, and Danbay Cade, a daughter of Markfield, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Markfield was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is now well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is sufficient to say he got the dam of Balaclava. Markfield was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sore Heels was got by Basso, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Scar, and brother to the dam of Bay Mott, Old Crab, Black Leggs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxbury Galloway.
Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queenberry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.  N A B O B, WILL cover Mares, for the season, at Sans-Souci, at Four Dollars, and a half a Dollar to the Groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered. NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high; he was got by Frederick, a well-bred hunter, his dam by Figure, his granddam by Old Britain, his great dam by a Chickasaw horse, brought from the Nation; he is in perfect health, in full toned vigour, possessed of instinct, and with all, a genuine spirit. The above horses may be seen at Sans-Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedigrees, certificates, &c. &c. &c.
T A M E R L A N E WILL cover Mares for the season, at Col. Anthony W. White's farm, the Cool Spring Cottage, one mile and a half from the City of New-Brunswick, for FIVE DOLLARS the season, any kind of country produce, sheep, calves or hogs, that Mr. John D. Alvey, will certify is worth that sum, but his certificate must be produced, before the Mares are covered, that he has received the Five Dollars, or what is equal in value to the same. TAMERLANE is a bright bay, fifteen hands three inches and a half high; his great strength strikes the eye at once, from the uncommon depth and slope of his shoulders, the breadth of his quarters, his length of barrel, and the smoothness of his back; he is free from all blemishes; his pedigree has been so often published, that it is need not to enter on it at present; his purity of blood is equal to any horse bred in this country; he is a remarkable true horse, most of the mares he covered in New-Jersey, proved in foal, and a great number of those covered by him in New-York; his colts in general, are allowed to be the largest, and best, ever foaled in this country; those of his get, at the Southward, have been tried, when on the turf behaved well, they answered to the whip, and had both bottom and speed.
They are to be sold after the season for covering is over. Any person wishing to purchase, may know the terms by applying to Col. John Bayard, Philadelphia; William Paterson, Esq. New-Brunswick; William Popham, Esq. New-York, or to Col. Anthony W. White, at Sans-Souci. Good pasture will be provided at each stand of the above-mentioned horses, by their grooms, at the usual rate; but the mares must be at the risk of the owner. March 17.
