Mr. Hall deemed it entirely unnece..,,v,

they exceeded their charter, and inlerrerred with III
rights Of other comprehensive Fi.chbarg ro,d fla,

Mr. Swift admitted that these were question, IA, II,
courts, which the House could not decide: bo h. b,
garded the State as one party to the contract with II,
Central road, and therefore it was right rar the ,p.
to protest against any ranssressons Of the powo n
the Central charter, lest silence shall be construed H.

Mr. Russell sustained the righ, Of the Central md

with Fhchhurg, arguing that the opposite construction
would involve the absurd:ty Of saying that the l!,
