vides that the Girls ReformatoTy shall be

scented an amendment to make the name or

and said this change had been asked for
by the ladies who have the management OF
the institution and that their requests
should be complied with. Mr.. Downey said

scented the amendment in good faith. Mr..

would be of advantage to the bill to have
his opposition. He continued in this strain
