SENATE.-BiN, Incorporating the VT.
Mining company, the amendment making
private property of the stockholders liable
for debts of the corporation, being under
consideration.
Mr.. Dana gave his views In operation
to the amendment. Of all the acts for
similar purposes. heretofore passed, not
one could he find, where the principle pre-.
posed in the emend ment had been incor-
porated. Subject to future Legislation,
had been all the security thought necess-
airy. 1e trusted the Senate was not pre-
pared now to adopt new and unheard of
principle
! Mr.. BIodgett gave his reasons for the
vote he should give. He was in favor of
the amendment for the same reason that
he should subject the private property OF
partners in trade 10 liability for debts oil
the firm.
Mr. Sheldon advocated the amendment.
The object Of the corporation was to make
money. The object was to guard and
protect the public.
Mr.. Sabin viewed the subject in some
what different light. He felt bound tc
cast his vote for no act, unless he wa
convinced the public interest required it
That ascertained, he was prepared 10 sUs
tain it. Did he wish entirely to defeat thu
bill and render hopeless the object of ths
fappIicants, he should be in favor of tn,
amendments. Pass that, and the deatt
blow to the incorporation is inflicted NJ
sensible man would leopard his whole
property for the sake of taking % or 2;
dollars stock
Mr.. Eaton of w. followed, in remark:
In favor of the amendment. The bill
; without the amendment. seemed to him ,
revival of the ancient lottery system.

, amendmen: that no stockholder should b
: liable 10 greater amount than his stool
! bears to the whole amount paid in.
