Rp0ns.-from committee ON judiciary. in IA
yor of H. %, to repeal an act to prevent paupers
from becoming chargeable to towns where they
have no legal settlement.
Mr.. Wales Of Burlington, explained the effect
Of the repeal of the law referred 10, stating that
its only effect was to iniict fine upon the pauper
himself as well as upon the person who brought
them into any town,
| Mr., Pingry Of Weathersfield said the effect
OF the law was to deter many paupers from com
ing into the State, and he hoped It would not be
repealed.
Mr.. Converse of Woodstock, thought the act
now sought To be repealed, was ridiculous when
il was passed last year, and it had lost none Of its
righteousness by one years trial. Other states
and Canada could readily cause their paupers 10
be sent into this state, be arrested and placed in
Jail and there he must lay until the fine was paid
which would not he speedily, as he would have
no money to meet it, lie thought the act was of
bad elect, and hoped this bill would pass, and the
law he repealed.
Mr.. Pingry Of Weathersield thought it best to
| try the law another year, and if there was any
thing ridiculous about it, the gentleman from
Woodstock ought to have seen it last year, and
not let it be passed,
MIR. Converse Of Woodstock, said he was in NO
way responsible for the passage of the act last
year, was opposed TO il then, and wished TO en-
brace this, the first opportunity that offered, ia
wash his hands of the righteousness Of it..
