THE BALTIMORE POLICE BILL.
The Baltimore police bill being under co
sideration, Mr.. Yellott offered the followil
amendment TO the first section:
and from and after the passage of tn
act the State of Maryland shall be respons
bic for any damages to property, caused
riotous or tumultuous assemblages of the pc
pie within the city of Baltimore"
Mr.. Yellott spoke at length in favor of h
amendment, and argued that as tho Sta
was to take from Baltimore city the contr
Of the police it was but just that the Sta
should become responsible in case of riots, &
instead of Baltimore city. Besides, man
buildings in Baltimore city were owned b
citizens of the counties. The LIST act of Il
new code is but re-enactment Of the law
1885, enacted Immediately after the Bait
more bank riots. He wished that the obi
CATION to indemnify should be transferre
from the city to the state.
MIR. klmmell said that the yeoman OF Lin
ganore wouldnever agree to the proposition
