Mr. Wicklife, believing that the bill conld NO.
pass both Houses, if cIogged with prov ision for
erecting OF oll-gates upon the Road, moved 10
strike out the frst seven sections Of the bill, and
Which relates to toll-gaes and toll.
MIR. Vance suggested that this was, in effect, |
the same proposition as had already been offered
by MIR. Gorham, and rejected.
The Speaker replied that that was a mater for |
the House to Judge on. The form Of the promo !
