on the hill to appropriate $500 900 Tor the

MIR. THOMAS designated Mr.. WARD to act
~ chairman of the committee, and he ac
cordingly took his seat.
MIR. LAcKLASD, being entitled to the floor,
addressed tue committee at length upon the
urgent necessity Of establishing new asy-
lum.
Mfr, PR1DEMoRE suggested that the COM
! mlttee first vote whether they will have 4
new asylum. Then, say ten days hence,
vote upon the question whether The location
shall be decided by Il commission or by the
q sneral Assembly.

the past few days, aud argued that The com.
mlttee was now ready to vote upon The qcs-
lion as TO the eXpedicncy of erecting new
asylum.

stilute, and argued in favor OF erecting a
new asylum.

sented on "Wednesday, was as follows:
That in the opinion Of This committee ii
is expe dent to establish 4 new luratic asy-

in the Senate substitute The ramtS Of places

be provided for in the Virginia asyluWs, and

would be much cheaper.
