Mr.. Kellogg said he understood the resolu.

be properly amended and perfected it would
be time enough to publish it. He was op'

this resolution would be apparent to every
member. 1t might not be a convenience t.
the attorneys who were acquainted with the
Act and all its amendments, but would be
great convenience to the majority of the peo,

cost but little to the State. He waived his
