Mr Glcel of M1rnst0wn said in reply. Who will
tell what Temporary removal si" Why let me ask
the reuteiuau who H tell what is the meaning " the
wlid. occupied as SUCH in the pre.en, statute Why.
sir the suprcmo court viii decide what iris Is there no
member m this House who can tel what temporary
muyal Isl Can NOT the supreme court tell what t h.
There viii be ittle difficulty this score.
The gentleman says that man may sell ont aud buy
another Forheavens sake let us examine that Il a
man would send his children % sohl, and ini,t

tne plaucst 800 tevlfd la man leaves his home with

ought to protected the bl dught 90 pass lit ought
not to hc protected, the lil should not pass.
But the geutem1u also says that man may leave and
go elsewhere and aueat his creditors. This is not 500

went far as pass Law that the purchase money tir
