Mr.. Dunn of Amity moved that the bill be
referred to the Aroostook county delegation
in order that some satisfactory understand
ing might be reached with reference to the
location of the court and the number of
terms to be held at each place.
Mr.. Nutting of Perham thought the matter
had been sufficiently discussed to be thor
oughly understood and he hoped the motion
would not prevail.
Mr.. Powers of Houlton said that the mo-
ton to refer this question to the Aroostook
delegation came from those who are not
friends to the bill. 1t is well known fact
that that delegation cannot agree upon this
question, and this is simply movement at
this late hour of the session to get the bill in
definitely postponed, and killed in that way,
and he hoped the motion would not prevail.

Mr.. Littlefield of Rockland said that the
matter had been given an impartial hearing
before the committee. If any new light can
now be given, if it can be presented in any
new place, for one, he was willing it should
be taken out of the hands of the Judiciary
