That reason no longer exists, but he would m ve that the resolution now lie upon the table for the consid.ra. ion of members motion carried.
 TThe resolution was subsequently adopted The House pi vceeded to consider the prepu- sed amendments 10 the constitution; ad"pto! the one providing for the session of the General Assembly in December, and rejected ihs Test. Friday, May Fist. The committee on Judiciary reported ad. yarsely To the passage of the bill concerning civil actions, which extended the rights of ex- empti"n of property from execution; but were of ouinion that some legislation was nptessaiy, and reported substitute. The rules We're suspended aud the bill was put upon it's third | reading. II provides that two swine and the pork thcretrum or two swine and 2UU lbs, of pork shall be exempt from execution. Mr. Chapman explained the objects of the bill. He said That under the existing law while man may have two swine, there IS no pruvl- sion for the prolrciion of the pork thereof, when they are slaus sEterrd lf,..ei joint weight shall exceed POD lbs. But man must be rery . pool who canno, get over 200 lbs.. of pork from two swine. lie thought the real object of the statute could only be secured by amend. ment of the s"It proposed by the reported bill.
 Mr. Waldo opposed the bill. He could see no reason for showing so much favor To the arr tlclr of pork. By inspecting the provisions of the bill Il would be soen hat q man mi ght be able to keep from his creditors from to 1900 lbs. of pork There wss no evidence that any evils had actually occurred, whatever possiJle evils might be discrrncd.

 MT. Cleveland moved to take up Ihe bill. laid on the table yesterday, concerning civil aciiens (eXiending the exemption of property from execution,) and offered as an amendment substitute for the whole bill, exemrting nus merous items of property from execution or warrant. The substitute was read, and Mr. C. briefly explained it's provisions. He thought that instel of taking the single article ofPork (which s excellent bait for pickerel. but not all that tho poor want,) they should go on and make liberal provision. He thought that the law should secure to the family of debtor. a suficien, amount of provisions for their main. tenance for year. He had drawn his amend. ment accordingly.
 Mir. Bliss of Norwich, sald that there were some objections 10 the amendment of the gen tleman from Hampton, for while he allowed the poor man one COW and calf. ten sheep and ten lambs. he had only allowed four tons of hay and fifty bushels of pntat,es, which as every one knew was not sufficient to keep them one year: He did not see why the poor man should not have pasiurage for summer as we'll as fodder fer winter, and he would recommend therefore, an additional allowance of l60 acres of land for pastursge.
 MT. Minor of Stamford said that the mover of the substitute had not gone through the whole list of comforts for the table,-suppose a quantity of butter and cheese should be ad- ded for the benefit of those whs have no COW Pork was said to be good pickerel bait-hs thought this amendment was bait of some kind.
 Mr. Cleveland was willing that members shoUld amuse themselves with the bill. He had introduced it in good faith and sincerity. aud was ready to abide by it. He would accent the suggestion in respect tO butter and cheese. end modify his amendment by inserting SOlbs: butter and 100 cheese. He meved that inc amendment be printed. Aftsg come debaia inc motion to print was carried.
