had previous notice and a warning that
after such a time the practice will be dis
continued and by that time they may dis
pose of their animals. But lie could not
see that on the whole there is any good
meaning to allow annoyance and disagree
ableness to a great part Of the community
for the sake of that little & i'll by some
few. He could perfectly agree with the
remarks from the honorable 9th Crown.
member IKalmer) who had spoken so well
and so lengthily on this matter, the keep
ing Of swine would be but a bad bonus for
estates people to remove to town; We
AVE already too many Of that class OF
people i'll town having no real honest way
of earning Il living, except by squatting or
at times working as porters "n estates,
but still seeking to tOW for the greater
part of the time.
End Member for Frederiksted'S Country
District (HeaoitN said he could not agree at
all in the views expressed y the last
Speaker in regard to the hurthrl assumed
by estate-ownerS to do the rOad-work n
(Hewitt) had been at many sales OF estates,
where conditions were produced for every
item to be assumed 10y auction purchasers,
but he had never once heard of any Stipn-
lation or reservation having been male in
regard to the performance of road work by
purchasers; the honorable Member had
twice referred to that duty rs a mortgage
on the estates, but surely whenever Il
mortgage is on a property you always see at
the sale full mention made Of it, and eX-
pres stipulation made as TO the obligation
to fulfil such claim; but never has any
claim at any time been put forward for
repairs to high ways; no bill Of sale for
any estate ever contained a word in that

priSed that Snch remark ks should have
come from a Member of the legal profess
sion like the honoutable Member. We
read instances from almost every little
town where there are special corporations
TO attend to the necessary repairs to the
public highways and thOrOughfareS this
Is an exceptional place from all others IN
this respect. He would sill say, that he
did not so much object to the road work as
it is now arranged to he discharged 10y eS-
tates, but he OBJECTED that he hou>e.own-
ers in towns have not IL corr, spending obi
CATION in connection with streets etc. ana
he objected TO The system where the estate
proprietor besides doing his own share OF
public work has to be taxed to pay for
house owners work on public streets Of The
towns, and he could see no reason why one
class of buildings should be supposed t.

others not any how he did not see how
owners of landed properties can be called
on to pay for repairs in the towns.
LIST Crown Member quinn would i'll re-
gard to 5 "a beg to remark that he was IN
clined to agree that it would cause a good
deal Of dissatisfaction if in future it is to
be the law that no funeral ceremony can
be performed in church except The corpse
be surrounded with charcoal in the coffin.
This is, however, only his opinion; if we
are told that it is so arranged in 0 her
civilized countries, We must of course fol-
low suit but he thought that the Commit
tee en- this matter before the ouncll
should carefully consider if it is absolutely
necessary to establish such a rule in that
respect for this Island. People are not,
as we are aware, inclined to take very
stringent views of sanitary measures, and
they would not like giving mp any thing
in connection with the church.
3rd Member for FrpdprikSted's Country
District III. Wilson, sail he was about
rising to make similar remarks to those
that had fallen from the last honorable
Speaker. A measure of the nature like
that proposed in respect to corpSeS would
decidedly cause extreme diSpleaSure and
dissatisfaction, and he could not see the
necessity of it, even in a tropical climate;
nor did he know of such a system beng
followed elsewhere in these PARTS. More
