REPoRTs OF COMMITTEES.
BY Mr.. Seely, from the Judiciary COM
mittee-Favorably on IAN Act to amend
an Act to incorporate the Town of Gold
Hill" Considered enHrossed and ordered
to a third reading.
MIR. Winton moved that the bill be re-
ferred to a committee, with instruction
that that portion providing for the collec-
ton Of fines in gold coin be struck out.
| He said that portion Of the bill was in
conflict with the manifest policy Of the
Government, under our Supreme Court
decision ; that it was overlooked by the
committee, and he could not vote for any
bill that made any distinction in the differ
ent c~urrencies of the country.
Mr.. Kellogg said that he opposed the
motion. He proposed to leave the law in
the same position it was before in relation
to that point. The Supreme Court had
not decided that fines could not be collec-
ted in coin. He said that there was a
general law being considered in the other
House making all fines payable in curren-
CIV. If that bill passed it would apply to
Gold Hill as well as other places /; if it did
not pass, he desired Gold Hill to be placed
on the same footing as other towns.
Mr.. Ives said he would be obliged to
vote against the bill, unless the amend
ment was made. He thought it nonsense
for the Government to indulge in such
child's play. He wanted oil legislation to
ignore any difference between the different
currencies.
The motion to recommit prevailed.
The committee reported the same back
with amendments, as instructed.
The bill wal passed.
