The bill to regulate the business in this
State of Foreign Insurance Companies was
read third time.
Some debate arose on the introduction of
this bill. On motion of Blake, the bill and
substitutes were made the special order of
the day for Friday.
The substitute is understood to be the
present law to which objections exist as to
its having been constitutionally passed, but
under which several foreign companies are
now doing business.
The bill to require Clerks of counties to
keep record of the moneys received by
them, to whom and by whom paid, and pay
them over to their successors, &C., was
read third time. Walpole hoped the bill
would not pass, for it would but add to the
heavy cost which the people have to pay
for the numerous books in the Clerks of
fee,
Lane advocated the bill Hes spoke of the
numerous ways in which Clerks might re-
tain their fees in their hands; that although
a record of them was now required, yet no
one but an attorney could find it amongst
the other records, and that what is still
wanted was book in which thoy should
be kept separately, where every person could
readily see them. The bill was necessary
for this purpose, and its cost would be
small
