establish new County by the Of Williams, and
recommended it's rejection. -.
Mr. Me- Lean hoped the bill would not pass. Sur

believe over $50 desired the erection of the new
County There was no necessity for it; it was old
project and had been submitted to the House before.
he believed that majority Of the people in that
ton OF Surry, did not want County established.
MT. Gordon was anxious that the bill should pass.
he people to be embraced in this county, lived
at considerable distance from the Court House, and
a majority of them desired its establishment.
mr.: Mclean doubted whether this new County
would have the requisite amount of population.
Mr. Boyle said he held in his hand petitions sign
ed by nearly 300 PERSONS which he had received this
morning, and which he wished be laid before the
committee. In order to enable them to consider the
Dill again, he moved its recommitment.
Mr.. Mclean opposed its recommitment. The mat
Ter mad been thoroughly examined by the committee,
and he believed it had but vote in its favor The
motion to recsmmt was lost.
