That it shall be the duty of said COM
mittees, so soon as they complete The
and digesting of any one chap
ter, together with all acts in the Ses-

tanned in such chapter, to report the
same to the house and senate for the
consideration of said bodies, aud such

been done by the committee making
the same.
This or some similar plan should be
adopted at a very early day, as il is of
great Importance to get to work at The
revision. Almost any plan likely to be
will prove better than a wran-
gle of two or three weeks over the
de of procedure.
