of the laboring men had not been fully and
properly presented. and that there were two

subject Mr.. Moore supported the motion to
reconsider, and hoped it would prevail,
| Mr. Nelsor of Southport said that it SEEM
ed to him that it was only just that the
| hardy fisherman and the sailor should be
protected in some small degree, while the
farmer WAS protected so largely. He claimed
that the bill as passed, could but work a
serious injury to the poor, laborng men, and
he urged that the vote whereby the bill was
passed should be reconsidered.
| Mr.. Walton of Skowhegan said that if he
were voting as an attorney and nothing else,
