whether any bill on this subject can
pass that body.

the benevolent insiitutions,viz: Blind,
Deaf & Dumb and Insane, was re.
| ported. II provides for nine direc-

ize The Penitentiary was reported.
A bill to abolish the offices of Regis.

A bill 10 build a new Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, not less than five
