Mr.. Denlson Tbke briefly against the amend.
ment proposed, 10! in favor Of the Committees
report.
Mr.. Dana OF y. Johnsbury, believed that as
the COMMITTEE md examined the matter and re-
ported certain la,n, it wond be bad policy for
'he Legislature % lessen the sum reported. The
claimant would, aad very properly, persist in pre-
sentlns ms claim n future years until he should
OBTAIN what he beloved to be justice.
Mr.. llunton believed that after the committee
had tired a claim I'D decided uponit it would be
unwlse Tor the llGHp to oyerruIe their decision.
The Committee onlCiaims wa. the proper tribunal
for trying this clam, and not the House. Al
though the House coud decide against the claim,
yet the applicant must necessarily feel that the
adjudication Of the committee was the true deci-
sion in the case. The House was rather party
IN the case, and though privileged with the power
to oyer-ruIe The decision Of the committee to
whom properly the decision belonged, yet il would
be very luudlcous 70 exert that power IL case
like this.
The question was then takenon the amendment
moved by MIR. Fletcher amended by Mr. Balch,
by Mr. EetcheT's consent, so as to read $1,000
per year
Mr.. Fletcher demanded the year and nays
yeas 1919, nays 64;-hnd the bin was committed
10 the gentleman from Cayendsh to amend.
The bill was reported amended, and the sum
was changed from $3O00,to $500
Mr.. Denison questioned whether this WAS the
amendment ordered by the House.
The Speaker decided that this was not the
amendment voted by the House
Mr.. Denison moved to re-commit the bill to
the gentleman from Cayendish to amend as or
defed by the House (SI20O per year for Milo H.
Bennett and $500 per year for clerk hire) and
the motion prevailed.
MIR. Fletcher, of Cawndsh reported the bill
TO pay Milo i. Bennett and others amended in
accordance with the vote Of the House.
4 Mr. Burrows moved to commit the bill 10
member to amend BY striking out the provision
for paying Mesers lracr and lsham 800 and
1925 seyeray.
Mr.. Fletcher favored The amendment.
Mr. nubbe thought that as these gentlemen
had been associated with Judge Bennett al com
mlssioners, and had coua,e.ed with him, it was
proper that the allowance should be made.
/ Mr. Chandler thought was wise in such cases
TO leave tie whole matter to acommittec to inves-
tigle and thtn abide by their decision. This was
LON Tie proper course, auG he should tLeleup9n
oppose the amendment.
Mr., Burrows was quite wiling 10 pay and had
Voted 70 pay, Judge Bennett. lie would not OBJ
dee. even to paying him a.ae asked for hia labor,

mission had done nothing, 10 Git as he could earn.
