NNoble Hitchcock read the following re-
port on the bill submitted 10 him on Mon
dAy. entitled an Act to prevent married
persons from deserving one another;
After long and searching investigation
into the causes which have led the Eli
crossing Committee into so much diff
Guilty, perpleXity, trouble and '-pilikia
nui, the only solution supposable arrived
al was:
That the said committee consists OF mar
ried men, or those hoping to be 50.
That they had spent many long hours of
intense study, anu many sleepless nights
of restless thought In striving 10 solve the
problem OF what g poor married man
could do, if perchance from an overdose OF
cocaine, or any other cause, he should
oversleep himself some morning. and
awake at last to ind that ttls wife Of his
A,som had wickedly, and with malice, de-
serted his bed, and AT that time was hold
ing : morning gossip with some neighbor' :
wife. And, in view OF the horrors Of such
= desertion, he would be unable to invoke
the sturdy arm OF the law and c0nsign the
culprit to felon's cell.
In view of this state of affairs, the under
signed feels that something ought TO be
doncIin the premises; but what changes
theAlaid committee desired in said act
were only discovered after an exhaustive
interview with said committee, and found
to be that the act was not divided into
sections.
Therefore in order TO bring peace and quiet
70 the manly hearts OF said committee, the
undersigned would recommend TO this
honorable House the following amend
ments: first. that Immediately after the
enacting clause and before the words,
that Chapter LVl.," etc. the words sec
tion ! be inserted; that the words section
be inserted before the words this act
I shall take effect, etc
y ! would further recommend that with
these important amendments, the act be
referred back TO the Engrossing Committee
for engrossment, with the thanks OF this
House to said committee for the great care
and laborious research which enabled them
10 discover that such amendments were
needed. (Signed) D. II. Hitchcock.
