! ton to reconsider.

! the estion was whether it was allowable for
one mans cattle to pasture upon another mans
ands 1t had again and again been decided by
the courts that such was the rendering that should
be given TO questions of this DESCRIPTION.

this was one way Of assisting the poor. Tat OF
iecl he believed should be accomplished in an az
ptopri4te way, as it was provided for by town
and not by sacrificing he principles of sound Lei
salye tlon in their favor.
Mr.. Torrey Of Jamaica, thought that there we
time. when II would be great hardship for Il
