lieve but it were better to leave them to
the restraint Of parents and laws existing.
Mr.. Eddy of Jamaica, thought II very
questionable whether the statue as it now
stands will reach class of cases en-
braced in this bill, but that this bill was
only adding certainty to the present law
and was needed to reach cases that he
believed could not be reached under the
present law. He believed no harm
could result from the bill, but that good
would come of it and he hoped the bill
would be passed
Mr.. Wells of CRANKY, favored the
bill, and from his experience as magis.
trate he had seen the need of some more
explicit law against the spirit of vio-
lence embraced in this bill, and which
could not better be designated than by
calling it a spirit of mob violence.

Messrs. Davis of Reading, Henry of
Chester, Davis Of St. Adams, Davenport
of Wilmington, Buel Of Middletown,
