TWO BILLS VETOED.
Gov. Tunnel, yesterday, vetoed the
| OiAl fhhNAo AAsL o-NhA0
of houses, &c, to make forcible entry
in cases where rent is in arrears and
possession refused. His objections
were as follows:
This bill provides that. in cases of
renting for q month or less time. where
the rent is overdue and unpaid, upon
notice by the landlord, he may enter
and take peaceable possession OF the
rented premises. To this provision,
have no objection, it being in effect
the present law. but, under q further
provision OF this bill, in case of refusal
of the tenant to deliver possession, the
landlord may file with justice OF the
peace statement under oath, showing
that the rent is overdue and unpaid,
and that notice has been given, &c, and
that the justice of the peace shall issue
warrant directing a constable to make
forcible entry and deliver possession
of the premises and remove the goods
of the tenant.
"Such action is in the nature of ex
parte proceeding, and gives the tenant
no opportunity of defence, and might,
in the case of false statement of the
landlord, work great hardship on the
tenant.
Under our present laws of forcibie
entry and detainer, just and adequate
remedy is provided for such cases, and,
: while it is not as summary as the ont
| in this bill proposed, it is more Just II
both parties, and gives both an oppor.
tunity to be heard. -
: The governor also vetoed the Housf
, bill amending the act to further pro
tect oysters in Broadkiln River anG
adjacent streams. His objections were
) as follows:
; THE act which this bill proposes Il
amend, among other things, prohibits
: the catching of oysters in certain creek
and rivers for planting purposes.
am informed that the oyster beds
which were once so profitable and con
. venient for home consumption, in tn
D creeks and rivers have been Target,
: broken up by taking for purposes o
planting in the bay.
Persons living in their boats, yes
sells or shanties on such creeks ant
r rivers violated the law acd took thes
oysters for sale to planters until, b.
q the law proposed to be amended by thi
S bill, license was required, the effec
: of which has been largely to drive sucl
!. persons from business, or to compe
e them to observe the law.
d ''This bill would relieve such person
l. from a license for taking oysters j
Leipsic River, or Simons Greek, an
i wouldlthrow open the oyster beds i
those streams to the unlawful takin
e for planting purposes.
!: The present laws governing tn
taking and catching of oysters hay
been found TO be advantageous an
l. effective, and l do not think it wise I
change or alter them at this time. -"
