The judiciary committee reported un
| favorably on Corbett's bill for the an
pointment of receivers of estates in Ger
tain cases and a motion was made tha
the bill be indefinitely postponed. Cor
bett got mad and said Craven and hi.
committee had some Interior object in
assassinating his measure. Craven and
Booth replied they were on to the bill al
right and that it had been presented Jus
to cover one special case and Corbett had
introduced the bill by request for thai
purpose. The motion to indefinitely post
pone was then carried. Shropshire offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That committee OF three be ap
pointed by the chair to take into consd
Grafton the question OF the amount OF per diem
due TO members and the date OF the adjourn
ment OF the fourth legislative session and to re-
port TO the house joint resolution fixing the
same.
The speaker appointed as such commit
tee Shropshire, Aud and Bond.
Anderson rose to a question of personal
privilege and said he had a complaint to
make. On Thursday he had given notice
of an intention to move for a reconsidera-
ton of the vote by which the Broadwater
county bill had been indefinitely post
pOHtus oH ITluay. WHO ne was absent,
the opponents of the bill had moved to
reconsider and had laid that motion on
the table. He thought this mean and
tricky proceeding, and it was an advant-
age which he would scorn to take of any
member on the floor of the house. Ander-
son, who made the motion to which Alder
son objected, stated that before ma king it
he had sent out for the friends of tho
measure and had overlooked Anderson by
mistake. He did not consider that he
had taken any undue advantage.
Monteath called attention to the fact
that many members were in the habit Of
introducing bills amendatory to the new
code, without telling in the title what the
subject matter was. The press, in print
ing these bills, could only say that they
amended certain sections and, as the peo-
pie OF the state had no codes SO that these
might be looked up, it was
due them that the subject matter of the
bill should be mentioned in the title. With
this object in view, he would in future
protest against the introduction OF any
measure wherein this was not mentioned.
Won Tobel, chairman of the rules COM
mittee, reported the following, amend
atory to the house rules, and which was
adopted:
