JUDICIARY.

JtDICIAKN-
BY Mr.. Bird of Rockland: Remon-
strance from Georges River Mills and
L. others against granting charter
to the town of Camden for water
works.
Remonstrance from full board of
selectmen and A citizens in town Of
Warren, Hope and Union against
same.
Mr.. LITTLEHALE of Union moved
to lay the remonstrances upon the
table.
Mr.. BIRD of Rockland: l trust the
motion to lay on the table will not
prevail 1t is a very unusual thing
for q rcmonstrance to be laid on the
table, and it seems to me that this
should have right to go to the
proper committee. l don't know of
any reason why it should not. l
trust that the gentleman from Union
CMr. LittlehaleJ will withdraw his
motion.
Mr.. ANDREWS of Rockport: Rep
rcsentne the town of Camden, l hope
that this motion will prevail and that
these remonstrances may be laid on
the table pending the introduction of
the bill.
Mr. CHASE of Portland: AS ] under
stand it there has already been a petit
tion presented relating to this same
subject matter and referred to the
judiciary committee. This is a re-
monstranCe upon the same sub
jcct. inasmuch as one petition
relating to the same subject
matter, has been referred, ! can
see no reason why all other petit
tions and remonstranceS should not he
referred to the same committee. AS /
understand it the practice has been
that. if Il committee has obtained
jurisdiction of any subject matter BY
Il reference. all other matters pertain
ing to the same subject matter go to
that committee.
The SPEAKER: This is not a ques-
tion of reference. 1t is simply qucs-
ton of whether the remonStrance
shall lie upon the table.
Mr.. CHASE: I 50 understand it.
Mr.. CRAMER of Washington:
Representing as | do the class towns
of Washington, Appleton and Hope,
and as some of the citizens of Hope
signed the petition that is in question,
and as there has been no bill pre-
scntcd here by the citizens of Camden
for water works, l hope that this
House will vote that these reinon-
strances shall lie upon the table. and
let the remonstrances follow the bill
instead of the bill following the re-
monstranceS.
The question being. shall the renlon-
strances lie upon the table. a division
was had and the motion was agreed
to by a vote of 52 to 45.
