Mr.. olney moved to amend the bill by adding
the name OF Levi Barns He said Mr. B. had once
been put on the bill in County meeting, and at an
other meeting when he was not present his name
was erased. That Mr.. B. was respectable man
and competent to the Office, and lie knew of no
good reason for making the change. (" Ne" said
Mr.. Olney, !" had not fair proportion of Justices
in our town. The Wings had nine and sce only
two. Myself and my colleague were the only ones
nominated--al sce asked for was four, and he had
proposed eight and four. The Wings had 81 and soe
10 members in the County, and the name was
struck off in our absence" 81 .tA1 i''
Mr. Perkins, said the gentleman was entitled to
credit for his tenacity in endeavoring to get Mr.
Barnes on the County bill That he had stated the
facts in the case incorrectly. The question had
been again and again discussed in county meeting,
and Mr.. Barnes name was there rejected on full
knowledge Of facts AT subsequent meeting of
the county members, at which many were absent,
the gentleman had got tie name of MIR. Barnes
placed on the bill There had been two county
meetings since, which the gentleman did not at
tend, and at the first of these his name was erased
Mr.. Olney, said the gentleman from Hartford
seemed to take deep interest in the Justices of
Southington. But when that gentleman in county
meeting nominated Justices for Hartford, he did not
interfere. Judge Barnes had been representative
and Judge of Probate, and large majority of the
electors of Southngton were in favor Of appoint.
ment, including some of his political opponents.
Mr.. Atkins, said the gentlemanhad first nomina.
ted Mr. Barnes in county meeting, where he was re-
jected by large majority. That at the next coun-
ty meeting the members were not generally pres
ent. He had then named to Mr.. O. that at the
next meeting he should move to strike out his name
There were strong circumstances from Southing-
ton against Mr. B., and to the greatest part Of the
community there, there could NOT be an appoint
ment made which would be more obnoxious
Mr.. Hamilton. said that the vote for erasing the
name in county meeting stood 20 toll
