d. G. Hyde of STAFFORD moved to strike off
from the list the name of Scion Frary and sub
stitute that OF some man who would pay his
taxes. John II. Watson, OF Bradford claimed
that Mr.. Frary had merely declined to fill his In
ventory and allowed the listers tn double the
property. they found and argued that this was
only taking his option under the law and not vio-
latiDg the law. X. NJ. Harvey, Esq, of Topsham
Immediately replied that II he knocked a man
down and then paid the fine imposed by justice
he would nevertheless be guilty OF assault and
battery all the same and vioator OF the law,
just as taxpayer would be for declining to fill out
his inventory and then submitting to the doubled
list the listers imposed as penalty which the
law prescribed Mr. Frary WAS called upon to
explain his position and admitted that he had
failed 10 make out an inventory last year, but this
year had Of his store property under the name Of
5. +. Frary & Co. and declined to make out his
personal list because II would contain matters he
did not wish TO divulge The matter was the
subject Of an animated discussion during which
Mr. Doolittle Of STAFFORD, lister in that town,
said that Mr.. Frary had told him that he was OPP
posed to the law, which Frary denied. Another
man from STAFFORD said the reason Frary gave In
his store list this year because the listers
would then find less to double and bis whole tax
would be less than last year on doubled APP
praisal. Mr.. Hyde's motion prevailed by vote
ninety-two to eghty-six. X Nj. Harvey Esq de-
clined the nomination, which was finally conferred
upon W. II. Gilmore by reclamation, this gentle
mans support OF the tax-law being competenty
vouched for by II. G. Day OF Bradford. The com
mittee on resolutions reported in favor OF equal
rights, the new listing law, increased attention to
education, etc. After voting that the next con-
vention should be composed OF five delegates
from each town, and appointing town committees
