commencing that the senate recete fro m
all amendments 30 the house blll exec pit
with certain exceptions, and presenting u

After considerable discussion the report
OF tie committee was rejected By q vote OF
2j to GO.
A motion by Mckinney thai the house
request free conference COMMITTEES was
carried.
Foster, of Limestone, for tha special
reported that the error IN the
enrolment OF the bill OF the last session re-
lative TO qualifications required for super
intendent OF the lunatic asylum was simply !
u clerical mistake, without any improper |
influence being used.
A tier the report OF the committee Of free /
conference by Upton, as stated, was made, |

port Of the committee be adopted.

cuttii & u felony as the only remedy Tor the |
existing evils, but the bill wus wrong In
permitting one man virtually 10 maze him
selftn lessee olanother without prO1erCIg-
sent. While not disposed 10 make such uc,9
felonies, he desired such penalties imposed
rs would stay such practices. The biii, he
argued. would rather augment than pre-
vent ience.cutting. The remedy for unlaw-
ful enclosure was, he thought, however ~
cessive, aud the law, he imagined, SOu,u
be regarded unconstitutional. Under the
bill parties owning large bodies
1f land would pay the 10 cents per sore 10
keep up large enclosures; so he wanted the
parties aecrieved to have recourse 10 the
courts Tor ten cents and as much more as
he courts should determine was righ'.
Further than this, he said, he wanted the
senate bill 10 be considered on IL merits.
Upton explained mat as be understood 1t
he main features of the house bill were
contained In this bill, with one alteration,
which wss covered in the caption. The
