f.ring the bill to the Atoney-General Tor MS OPINION
"a To whether or not it cOrlced with the act OF 'he
state granting Battery place 10 the City OF New-ioIk

thing fr the Senator from the iiiu. 10 sneei sn
course he Mr. u felt compelled to pursue in regard
| IN publIc measures: but however frequently they
occurred they could not, in the least, effect his move

copficed with the original Act of the State, ceding
the Battery to the City upon certain conditions, then
| he was emphaticaly opposed TO lis passage
So the matter is now in the hands of the Attorney
! General.
