ASSEMBLY
BILLS PASsEH
The following bills having been read third
hme were passed, unless otherwise noted;
bin TO prohibit the sale Of fre~ood IN the
CITY Of New York by unlicensed persons.
No quorum was present On calling the roll on
,be final passage Of the bill, and call OF the
House was ordered. Proceedings were had an.
Ssr the cal, when the doors were opened and
business proceeded with. The bill was then read
sthird time and lost.
M MAcoMBER then moved 20 reconsider the
vote, and stated that the persons whom this law
vas sought 10 affect were only subject to line
by the City. and no matter how gross violation
Of the law might be committed, no imprisonment
could follow. 1t was protection to the poorer
classes, aud he hoped that it would be reconsid'
cred.
Mr. GREEN explained the object Of the bill. In
tbe city Of NewY York there was large number
ofcartmen who made it their business to purchase
wood from boats and then to resellt to the poorer
classes who were liable to imposition from these
men, who could not be punished except by
nominal fine. This bill ought to make it mis-
demesnor and provides that 1t should be made
punishable by imprisonment.
Mr. TOWNSEND wished that the vote might DE
reconsidered, as the provisions OF the bill would
be the means of working much good, and could
not be productive of the slightest evil. 1t merely
compelled cartmen who had been in the habit OF
selling wood from their vehicles, to procure H.
censes, and thereby render Themselves ameDable
10 the law in case Of violation OF its provisions
The motion to reconsider the vote was carried
ayes 70.

licensed persons was then passed-ayes 81.

recommitted.
An act to grant the right to hold and convey
real estate.
Mr. HIGBx moved to recommit the bill
Mr. MORSE hoped the motion would not prevail,
rs there were several reasons why Mr. Trusc1-s
could not become a citizen of this State. One
reason, he thought, would be sufficient to explain
away any objection 20 it. MIR. I. was formerly an
otcer In the British service, and, at the present
nme, was under halfpay, which stipend, in case
Of bis becoming citizen, would DO withdrawn.
Mr.. Truscott bad been for seventeen years resi-.
dent the City of Buffalo, and if the subject was
ieit to their decision, he doubted whether any
would oppose it He hoped the gentleman would
withdraw his motion 20 recOmmit
Mr.. HIGBY stated that he was satisfied with
me explanation. Members would now vote IN.
