tuition if the suit is pressed, modify or
dissolve the writ, came from the Senate re-
jected.
Mr.. Cooley asked for the reading of the
act.
Mr.. johnson moved that the bill be tabled
for calendar lost, Sc to IS. The question
now required on the rejection of the bill.
Mr.. johnson said that in his opinion such
bill ought to be passed. There are men in
different towns who will even sue paupers to
get the last cent that may be due to them.
This bill will enable justices of the peace to
modify or dissolve writ when it is apparent
that the defendants will be thrown upon the
town in case the suit is pressed.
Mr.. Ripley, of Norwich, said he had OBJ
jected to the bill going upon the table under
a total misrepresentation If the gentleman
from Enfield (Mr. Johnson) wants to discuss
the bill on its merits he ought to have it. He
would therefore move reconsideration and
that the bill be printed.
Mr.. Cooley of Hartford, said he had intro
duced the bill at the earnest request of people
residing out of town. He had been informed,
and correctly no doubt, that in the villages
the wages of children have been factorized
for debts incurred by their parents in saloons,
and he thought the State could not engage in
better legislation than to pass some measure
of this kind. He trusted that Mr.. Ripley g
motion would prevail.
Mr.. Sill, of Hartford opposed printing the
bill He considered it the legislation of dema-
gogues, and that it was in no sense in the
interests of poor men.
The printing of the measure was supported
by Mr.. Cowles of Pennington, and Mr. Rob-
ertson of New Haven.
Mr.. johnson in reply to Mr.. Sill said he
was in favor of legislation necessary to pre-
tect the poor of the State If people on the
verge of starvation must have their wages
| attached, throwing them as paupers on the
town in which they live, and if the wages of
young children can be attached for debts
| incurred by their parents in gratifying de-
| based appetites, it certainly cannot be objec-
/ tionable for the Legislature to pass law
preventing such an abuse. He was not pres
emit as q demagogue in any sense to sustain
| legislation of any sort, but the present bill
! ought to be discussed on it's merits and dis
posed of by the House after fair examina-
| ton.
| The motion of Mr. Ripley to reconsider was
| carried, and on motion of Mr.. Stanton OF
Stonington the bill was ordered printed.
The bill regulating the taxation of trust
i property came back from the Senate with al
amendment offered by Mr.. Pease, of Enfield
and adopted by the House rejected by the
| former body.
| Mr.. Pease moved that committee of con
ference be appointed.
This was opposed by Mr.. Sill, who said hi
was wholly opposed to the amendment. L
was not in harmony with the act, and put OF
the statute book legislation which cannot b.
enforced. The State has no jurisdiction ovel
non resident trustees.
Mr.. johnson favored the appointment o
a conference committee. On vote the mo
ton was carried, 70 to 65. Mr. Pease, o
Enfield, and Mr.. Cleveland, of Brooklyn
were appointed.
The calendar numbers were resumed ant
reports from the Committee on Engrosse'
Bills were acted on favorably.
| Mr.. Cleveland called from the table tn
resolution incorporating the George S. Lin
coin & Co. corporation of Hartford passed
At 1:35 the House voted 81 to SO to ad
| iourn until 10 a. m. Wednesday.
