unnumbered acts legalizing the grand lists
Of towns, it supplies the omissions OF listers,
/ and thus acts a. listers This was pretty
strong fora gentleman Of Intelligence enough
to be chairman of the judiciary committee /;
but if was thrown into the shade by his fur

the Legislature to right this wrong, if there
WAS one. because lift did it might be called

record. On such intelligent presentation
of the subject by the special committee, and
on such elevated ideas of justice. the House
cut short the debate and proceeded to vote
on the bill.

shall preserve and remember. and TO which
we may call attention again hereafter
