MANoRrAL TITLES.
Mr.. MILLS called up the joint resolution
from the Senate, appointing the Senators and Mem
beTs OF the Assembly. from the lIIi Assembly Dis
tIict, Select Committee on the petitions In relation
10 the extin guishment Of ManoTial Titles.
Mr.. VAN SANTvOORD said he represented
Columbia County. in part OF which these msnorid
difficulties prevailed Suits have been brought, and
they have been uniformly decided IN favor OF the
landlords. That of The People vtrsUs Livingston,
to test the title ofthe Livingston Manor, after long
and ably conte sed Trial, had resulted in establishing
the validity OF the title. The Courts and not the
IL h.f,
Questions of this kind should be brought Thsy
one were competent to take cognizance Of them.
He did not consider the subject Of sufficient impor.
tan merit the nsideration Of the House. The
petitions that have been presented to the Senate
asked for the abolition Of ieudal !enures This had
alrt ady been done.
By the Constitution feudal tenaures are abolished
and 1t expected that this House could go beyond
the Constitution in granting relief |. Is not IN our
power. The whole matter is placed beyond our
control. There is no relief which this House can
legitim8tely give to the tenants The House had
already appointed a Select Committee on this sub
ject, as had, he believed the Senate. This he r..
earded as sufficient and he therefore moved that the
House do non concur IN the resolution.
Mr.. HArcH.-What is the result of the
suits which have been commencedi
Mr.. VAN SANTvOOkD replied that the
one to which he alfuded-that of the People w.
Livinaston-had been determined II was tired be-
fore Judge Wright by Judge Sutherland, at present
the representative Of the Columbia District In Goa

1t Is not right for the House 70 place them In this
position. This Houae has no power to grant relief,
and 1t is time that We give these tenants to under
