been completed; that the entire text of the

alton of independence, the constitution of the

I gether with the repeating act. The report

vile Savings Bank, in the town of Oakland

Mr.. Pennell of Androscoggin moved the
indefinite postponement of the bill.
for the gentleman motion.
Mr.. Pennell of Androscoggin stated that
there was a general understanding when the
Senate adjourned in March that no new legis.
lation would be brought before the Senate
at the August session; that the business to
be transacted would apply only to the revis-
ion of the statutes. 1t was well understood
that a number of bills were ready for intro
duction when the door was once opened, and
he therefore was very much opposed to open
ing the door.
Mr.. Lebroke of PiscataQuis sincerely
hoped that the motion to indefinitely post
pone would prevail. If the door was to be
opened, he had one bill in regard to author
izing the county commissioners to obtain
money on loan to enlarge the court house in
his county which he desired TO present. He
felt II his dnty to rigidly oppose the intro
duction of anv new legislation at this time.
The bill was then indefinitely postponed.
Bill an act to amend an act to incorporate
the Bddeford and Saco Water Company,
came from the House, passed to be engrossed
under suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Young of Cumberland said that the
object of the hill was simply to correct
clerical error which seemed to be fatal. The
mistake had been made among the members
of the Legislature, and viewing it in the
light of correcting clerical error he was in
favor of the admission of the bill. He
moved that the bill take its several readings
and pass TO be engrossed.
Mr. Lebroke of PiscataQuis said that the
bill was strictly unfinished business and as
such he was in favor of admitting it.
The bill was then passed to be engrossed.
On motion of Mr.. Young of Cumberland,
the Senate took a recess to enable the Com

to provide in part for the expenditures of
