competency Of witnesses in certain cases and fol
sler PURPOSES.
Mr. NEWMAN, (AIrss BRADFORD in The chair,
offered bill is lieu, t. make Railroad Comp suiel
responsible for stock killed on their roads.
Mr. NEWMAN explained that IS the lay nos
stands, it is impossible for the Gamers OF stool
killed on railroads to recover anything for thu
sams.
Mr. MINIS favored the original bill because
the preseat lsW rendered the conductor or engineer
an Incompetent witness ia cases for damages fol
killing stock. Hs was IN favor Of protecting th'
OWaera Of stock, but he equally in favor Of pro
tecting railroad composites.
Mr.. NEWMAN showed that railroad oOmpaais
we're protected, and his object vas to protect th'
psople.
Mr.. PETERS, as the matter stood, should hsEl
to support the bill in lieu, although it was some
What more rigorous than the present law HI
thought il RICH. that in suits for killing stock, th
testimony Of eRployees on roads ehould be exolud
ed He thoughJit best "a let the law stand as il il
and be therefore, moved to lay both bills upon th
I table.
Mr.. LANE Qeave being granted) referred to fact
showing the necessity for such law as that pro
posed By the bill offered BY the Senator frou
! Franklin, (Mr. Newman sud he hoped the biill

SO the Senate refused 70 lay upon che table
Mr.. MCNEILLY thought il wrong 70 make cos
dueior or engineer az ncomp etent witness Ia cases
where he was not peounisriy interested. lnstaneei
would occur where the engineer would be TIE only
person who could testify he faots. He should
therefore vote sgainst the bfil in lieu.
