Lord NEWPORT then moved the addition of a clause
rendering it unlawful, under the penalty of 205., to use

be to remove the carts drawn by dogs from turnpikes. They
would still infest the highways. A bill, with the same
object, after passing that house, had been thrown oat in
the Lords, because it,was considered it would inflict hardship
upon individuals by throwing them out of employment.

d their livelihood by means of these dogs, and they
ought to he sure that they did no injustice by legislating
againvt them in a clause introduced in this manner. (Hear,
