petitioners, who appear to be well a'quainted with their
own grievances, have set them forth at considerable
length. They complain of the injuries inflicted upon
their trade by the transit of railroads ; that few or no
persons remain at inns on the road, and that, in conse-

b.,rne without murmuring, are now become so heavy
as to compel them to apply to the Legislature for relief.
They set forth the large sums embarked in the business
of which they are members, and claim, on account of
their property and position in life, a hearing of their
arguments and attention to their importance. The names
