against the resumption of said lands;
against the Medical Department of
the State University. Two reports
of the Judiciary Committee on the
subject of resuming the land grant of
the Des Moines Valley Railroad

reports were ordered to be printed.
Bills were introduced as follows: In

termine the measure of punishment
in cases involving punishment for
murder. The bill tailed to pass.
