thanked the convention and referred

and A. A. Niles of Morrisville. At
this point the following
PROBATE RESOLUTION
was offered by A. o. Gates of Norris
vile:
ResolVed-That it is the sense of this con-
vention that the people doing business at the
office of the Probate Court of Lamoille Co.,
would be better accommodated allowing that
said Probate Judge hold his court at Morris
vile and johnson alternately.
On motion of Judge Mudgett re-
cess was taken until 2 O'Clock.
AFTERNOON.
Convention re-assembled at 2.10 p.
m. Geo. W. Doty of Morristown
called up the Probate Resolution.
Its adoption was opposed by H. NJ
Mcfarland, VINO moved that it be laid
upon the table
E. H. Bentley of Cambridge second
ed the motion of Mr. Mcfarland.
A. o. Gates thought the resolution
perfectly proper; the people of Nor
ristown and the eastern end of the
county would be better served by
holding the court at Morrisville half
of the time, and likewise the peoplein
the lower end of the county during
the other half when held at johnson.
Geo. M. Powers argued in favor of
the resolution. 1t would be unjust to
lay it on the table, and it ought to be
either accepted or rejected.
Mr. Wilkins of Stowe said such a
resolution had not been contemplated
by his town. The Probate Court
ought to be held and the records kept
in one place, and that was at the
county seat. He seconded the mo-
ton that the resolution be laid upon
the table and by a decided vote the
convention so ordered After disDOs--
