Bill, BY Mr. Eaton Of Washington co., in alter
alton of chapter 100 of the revised statues, relating
to administering oaths twice read and referred TO
the committee on the judiciary; Incorporating the
Vermont 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 opposition to the
amendment. OF all the acts for similar purposes,
heretofore passed, not one could he find, where the
principle proposed in the amendment had been in
corporated. Subject 10 future legislation, had
been all the securely thought necessary. lie trus-
ted the Senate was not prepared now TO adopt n
new and unheard of principle
Mr. Blodgett gave his reasons for the vote he
should give. lie was in favor of the amendment
for the same that he would subject the prl-
yate property of farmers in trade 10 liability for
debts of the firm.
Mr. Sheldon advocated the amendment. The
object of the corporation was to make money The
object was 10 guard aud protect the public.
Mr. Sabin viewed the subject in somewhat dr-
rerent light lie felt bound 10 cast his vote for no
net. unless he was convinced the public interest
required it, That ascertaned, he was prepared to
sustain it. Did he wish entirely TO defeat the bill
md render hopeless the object of the applicants
he should be IN favor of the amendment. Pass that
md the death blow to the incorporation inflicted
No sensible man would leopard his whole property
for the sake of taking 10 10 % dollars stock.
Nh Eaton of w. followed, in remarks in favor of
The amendment. The bill without the amendment,
seemed TO him revival of the ancient lottery sys-
tenn.
Mr. Wheeocl moved so to amend the amend
nent that no stakeholder should be liable to grea-
Ter amount than his stock bears to the whole a
noun, paid in. -,
Mr. Hatch demanded the yeas and hayes, and NIr
\yheelock's amendment: was adopted, yeas Is,
nays TO-.
Mr. Blodgett moved tina, the bill and the amend
uent be laid upon the table, and demanded the
yeas and nays upon this motion: lost, yeas IL nays
l6. when Mr. Dillingham; demanded the yeas and
,ays upon the passage the bill. as amended.
After further debate by Messrs Clark. Dana,
Boitum, Blodgct and French the Senate went IN
o join, assembly, without taking the question
