MIR. Merrill of Montpelier, by request OF Mr..
Martin of Chelsea, moved to reconsider the
reference of the bill to establish two shires in
Orange County.
Mr.. Martin said he was absent al the time of
the reference and now he wished to have the
bill referred to the members of the county.
Mr.. Strickland of Bradford preferred to have
a disintercsed committee, especially since two
towns in the county are not represented, both
of which are in favor OF the bill
MIR. Martin OF Chelsea said that the two
towns unrepresented are divided-onc for the

ing in this objection. There are fifteen mem

should act, though he had no fears from an i'm
partial select committee

in his statement in any event, a disinterestet
committee would be the best.
