Company. An amendment was pro.
posed By Mr.. Wood, Of Aibenarle. to
ssbstitste q board Of commissioners
for jsry, To condemn land for the
nss 81 che company. The whole sub
jeet was indefinitely postponed.
On Friday. many local bills were
passed. The only important subject
issehed, was Q bill. reported by Mr..

doned; and we shall continue TO be
