2nd Member for FrederikStefs Country
District (Hea0itt) coneurred with the views
expressed by the last honOurable speaker.
3rd Member for Frederiksted'S Country
District WILSON, thought also that com
pulsory fencing was necessary, as the small
acreages interfere greatly with the large
estates.
The Governor stated that he objected to
the onesided expense, but that if the par
ties were willing to divide the expense he
would have no objections.
1st Member for FrederikSted's Country
District Birch thought that 1t looked

re-iterate that the materials were all at

incurred. He would at the same time
state his objections to that clause Of the
Draft, prohibiting the sale of poultry &c,

The Governor stated that for sugar cs-
tates there could be no question OF fencing
in, but that wherever it was deemed re
uuisite to do so, then the expenses should
be divided equally between the parties.
