this question some discussion arose, Nlesss Davis, OF
NJ and Henry supported the amendment, the
ground that such is the wise and just policy ofthe
State in reference to other corporations, adopted by
both political parties; that danger would ensue
foom it to the corporators, SO long they conducted
the corporation propery and that the safety of the
public required to guard against improper manage
ment.
Messrs. Rice ofSomerset, Wnsow, Everett, and
Peck opposed the amendment, urging that there is an
obyions distinction betweed corporations of this kind
were the value OF the road to the corporators would
be destroyed by repeal Of their charrer, and other
corporations, such bank manufacturing COM
pany, whose capital would remain, their char
revoked; and that fadopted, it would unquestion
ably deter capitalists of other states from taking Stock
and thus this great enterprise from the public good
would be defeated. On motion of Mr. Sanborn of
Srafford, the bill was laid on tho table and made the
order for Monday afternoon.
