~, all services of this portion of the militia
were dispensed with excent in case of insurTec-
lion or invasion. The bill, however, provided

; before the act can take effect, concurred in.
$ Mr. Briggs hoped that the Senate would insist
n upon its amendment, il being decidedly unjust
e 10 diminish or enlarge town without its ex-
pressed consent. Mr. Camp thought there
: must be misrepresentation or inalien,ion on the

way. Alter iurther remarks by Messrs Briggs,
i Richardson, Billings, and Chitienden, the Sem
II ale resolved to insist upon lis amendment.

HOUSE. Engrossed BM.--For The re-
L lief OF the insane poor; this bill was opposed
o hy MI Sanborn of S. on the ground that it
s would work injustice by making towns which
J. have no insane contribute for the benefit of The
q, insane poor Of other towns, also on the ground
y, Than The State ought 10 study economy. Mr.
al Hibbard secuted both objections, believing that
Is the towns which have no insane would consid-
70 or that exemption great blessing, and be so
d much the more willing 10 aid those less fortu-
n nate, and especially those towns which were ut
70 terly unable to support their insane psupers.-
ID Again: il was like the case of person in
