Resored That the Judiciary Committee be n.,racted to in

Mi w. in supporting his resolution, said, if for
eilneTs ale hocking to shores, seeking for the
rIiyleces of citizenship it was essentially proper that
il should be known whether these privileges are
granted in pursuance Of law. 1t has been made man
ist that these privileges have been granted
or acted upon in very loose manner
The business had been carried on by Clerks o. the
Court who are used as mere machines for the pur-
pose. And it gratifying to see that the Courts
were turning their attention TO this subject Tire re-
cent decision of Judge Dean was worthy OF attention.
The object Of tie resolution was not so much to In
auire into the manner to how these privileges we're
GRANTED hut as TO the power which grants them. Ii
is due TO those who wish TO become cZ5ns, that the
law should BE- definitely settled and when defined that
il should ut be disturbed. There was Court in
this city called the Jufices Court of the City OF Al
bsny, made with sesl, and made with powers to
TO grant naturalization papers, where, oy 7''I i
contract the Clerk can make American citizens. Bu'
fh Cout had been declared by Judge Bronson no
Cont of cord and therefore without the power 10
Grant naturalization paper. He referred TO o'per
Courts having zeal, such as the Surrogate CouI,
srd vet they we're not he proper Courts t. gram ma
utilization papers He produced et.r from Judse
Curis of the United states COur' say nE that 70
lice Court having no Clerk, ana where the records
sIe made by the presiding agstiate, vas Court Of
Record hat not such was coutempa'e IN the a.
! urslizsiion law He also produced letter rom a
Justice OF the Supreme Court who declared Inat

jurisdiction were rot empowered TO gran, applications
for citizenship. -. =, .
