BY Mr. Foster, from the same committee, against
bill relating to paupers, making it the duty of over
seers to receive and support paupers having le-
gal settlement in the State, the expense to be paid
from the State Treasury. The bill was briefly
supported by Mr. Robinson, as removing an onerous
burden now imposed upon many towns by the obi
cation to support this class Of paupers thrown upon
them in great numbers, by peculiar circumstances
and opposed by Messrs Foster, Villas, Howe, Cush-
man, Burton, Harrington, and klmball as unduly
favoring towns who had violently struggled for the
location of railroads through their borders, and yet
were unwilling to bear the evils incident to their
construction and as introducing system which
could not be sufficiently well guarded to prevent
fraud and improper drafts upon the treasury. Mr.
Smith thought that the bill had some merits, par
tcularly as applying to the frontier towns, which
the present system peculiarly burdened, and on his
notion the bill was laid on the table to be proper
" matured BY Mr. Barton, from the same COM

somewhat protracted remarks by Messrs Villas,
