} DIVISION OF WINDSOR COUNTY.
Mr.. Bowman called up the petition of Harry
Bingham aud others, and moved It's reference to
the members Of Windsor County. On this mo-
ton n protraced debate eusued, the chief points
of which we state briefly, as iull report would
exceed our limits both Of lime aud spnce. The
motion OF Mr. Bowman wus advo cated by Messr,
Wardner, DAVIS of n, Robbins and Billings, who
claimed thai this did not come within the or
4, binary rule. which required a disneresied com
milee. The people of W ludsOr County were
m%st Immediately and particularly interested, anC
a their wishes should tie consulted: tie members
from that county were moreover best acquainted
with the hica situation Of the county, nnC
with all the facts necessary To be knowA on tim
= question. Should the mauer be referred to them
= unqurs onubly there would be two replr fully
{ setting forth all the material facts both sides
!, upon which The House could make up lis judg
n ment. Last year, different cour-e had been pur
t sued, and the result WAS that the friends of dVS
ion were dissatisfied, as was shown by the increas
i ed number OF petitions sent on for presenia
q ton. IL was suggested in the course OF debate
: that the purpose Of The friends of division was Il
u fer the question to the people of Windsor Coun
d ", TO vote upon it, and their decision would IL
J. ncquirsccd in on their part. On the other hand
& Messrs. Drnson OF H., Sprague, Russ, Van Sick
ia. ,f.,.
|, ence proposed by MIR Bowman. The House tie
o sired an impartial report OF facts, which could b'
o had only from Il disinterested committee, conhpos
& ed Of persons remote from the county. Tin
could not be expected from the members OF h
county, who had already prrjudged the case, am
who would unarodably perhaps, IN the COLLECTION
n OF facts aim only To sustain their own views.
ls was also INSISTED that The a,llpnag counties q
10 Rutland, Windhom md Orange were deeply IL
teiested in this question, indeed, the whole Stat
j. was interested, rs additional county officers, wou
ID make additional expense-anL it was not right lc
subject these interests to the keeping Of the mem
y bcrs from Windsor county. Before any question
N was taken,
Is The Sena'e came in, and The Joint assemh
j. postponed The election of officers OF the stat
u Prison for one week. The following appointment
To were made:
