PETITIONS.
The House amendment of the Senate amend
ment to chapter ! IA relating to forgery, counter
feitirS, &C., came up for consideration, and the
question was whether the House would insist upon
its proposition of amendment, the Senate nom
concurring.
Mr. Reed hoped the House would not insist
upon its amendment, disabling those who have
been convicted of forgery from acting as witness
es in any case. The decision OF former Legs
lature had reason for it. That criminals might
sometimes go unwhipped OF justice unless other
criminals could testify against them, was well
known.
MIR. Royce agreed with the gentleman from
Montpelier, (Reed), but thought it due to those
who were absent TO defer the consideration Of the
bill. The bill was then ordered to lie.
