 ing $500 to the widow of Thomas McOarthy, member-elect from Lisbon passed. Resolution appropriating $500 to the widow of Charles N. Smith, Inember-elect from Eastport Objection was made to this payment on the grounds that MT. Smiths seat had been filled by another election be- fore the House met, and the place occupied.

 Business on the calendar was disposed of as follows --..1 .s.s -aH s Resolution appropriating $4, 900 for the artificial propagation of fish. The order of the day was then taken up,
 being resolution granting Frederick A. Far ley $550. 62 for expense in tracing Ernest Moses in the Avon murder case in 1850. Last \ year the committee reported favorably on granting MT. Farley $500, but the House re- | iected it. This year the committee reported unfavorably. Mir. Perry, of Hartford, moved | to take up the minority report granting the claims granted. MT. Middleton, of Enfield, l advocated MT. Farley's cause, and was in ia II vor of allowing Mir. Farley even more than l he claimed. MT. Andrews, of New Britain, played the same tune. | MT. Carter, of Waterbury, spoke in oppo-
 sition. He gave a summary of the State at-
 torney's testimony before this years commit
 tee, and ventured to assert tAat had the same testimony been given to last year's commit
 tee the report would have been different 1 The States attorney did not employ Farley in any sense, and he worked simply in hope
 of getting reward. He asked the House not to establish bad precedent by paying the claim. '. -I
 Mr. Middleton claimed that if Farley wal
 not employed by the State's attorney he va
 working with his knowledge and consent and should be compensated. MT. Perry, of Hartford, spoke in behal of Farlevis claim, and his services in tracini , ont the insane Moses. The fact that he wa working for reward does not alter the fac
 that he earned it, and is entitled to it. Earle ] had in his pocket warrant for Moses arrest } and should have his fees for sery 3 ing the warrant, if for nothing else, but al 7 that the Superior court would allow on thi : ground would not pay him the cash he ha actually expended. Mir. Brown of Norwich, spoke sgains d granting the claim, and MT. Mclean, of Simt c bury, in favor of it. MT. Nickerson, ( : Cornwall, also spoke in favor of reimbursin
 Farley, while MT. Savage, member frol the same town, opposed it. The resolutio @ was rejected by a vote of 95 to 50.
