INTRODUCTION OF BILLS
By Mr.. Haines-An Act concerning
marriage.
Mr.. Doran moved its reference to the
Committee on Public Morals.
Mr.. Haines moved its reference to the
Committee on State Affairs. He did
not wish the bill referred to o committee
composed Of old bachelors, unless he
could be called before them to explain
it.
Mr.. Doran thought the reasons stated
by the gentleman a sufficient reason for
its reference to the Committee on Public
Morals, as q majority Of the committee
were Benedicts, whereas the Committee
on State Affairs consisted only Of bach
elors.
Mr.. Mason suggested the Committee
on Internal Improvements as an appro-
pirate committee.
Mr.. Doran withdrew his motion, to
which the seconder, Mr.. Gray, objected.
The motion was accordingly put and
voted down, and the bill referred to the
Committee on State Affairs.

ing civil actions. Referred to the Judi
ciary Committee.

ering the Government to appoint Com
missioners of Deeds and to define their

Assembly bill No. Q, an Act to repeal
an Act concerning the location and pos
session of mining claims.
Mr.. Welty thought something should
be appended to the bill protecting rights
acquired under the Ac, sought to be re-
pealed. +
Mr.. Monroe said be was the author of
a similar bill, which passed the Senate
yesterday, and he did not know of any
power in the Legislature to affect any
rights which might have been vested
under the original Act. All he wanted
was to leave the mines free from the
operation of the original law in the fu-
ture.

the third time.
Mr.. welty objected to the third read
ing Of the bill. Unanimous consent be-
ing required for the bill to be read o
time on the same day, the objection held
good.

Committee on Mines and Mining, which
wa agreed to.
