 The following are extracts taken from the Council journal of March 10th and 1lth:
 p "The following message was fceiyed from the House:
 Mir. President:-I am directed by the House, to inform the Council that the the House has indefinitely postponed c. B. No. 5O-An Act tO amend Section 10, chapter 0, entitled "Of County Treas urers."
 MORRIS GoLDwATER, Chief Clerk.
 March 1l-Mr. Bailey reported as fol- lows:
 Mir. President-Your committee on Enrolled and Engrossed Bills beg leave to report c. Bs Nos. 50, 6S, 69 and sl as correctly enrolled.
 ALoSZo BAILEY. Chairman.
 Mir. Bailey reported as follows:
 Mir. President committee on En rolled and Engrossed Bills beg leave to report c. B's Nos. %. 6S, 69 and SI in the hands of His Excellency, the Gov ernor, for his consideration.
 ALoNzO BAILEY, Chairman. An examination of the endorsements of the bill together with the report of the Council committee on enrolled and engrossed bills, elicits the fact that after the action of the House indefinitely postponing 1t, the bill through some agency was placed in the hands of the enrolling and expressing committee. and after being enrolled and expressed, and signed by the President of the Council, and Speaker of the House, was regularly presented by the committee to Governor Tutle for his official consideration. | Reaching him thus regularly and offi- cially as 1t did, nothing remained for him to do but to veto or approve It, | which latter he did. The responsibility | for the error clearly rests between the | Chief Clerk of the Council and the Coun- | cIl committee on enrolled and engrossed | bills, and it is now in order for them 10 l arise and explain. The idea that the bill applies only to ! MaricOps county IS an erroneous one | as the whole Territory would be effect ed by 1t were it legal. The forthcoming | of the Acts of the last Legislat- | ure will contain, as errata, a statement | explaining the status of the bill as here | se. out.
