of signing the acts passed at the re-

work takes some time as the bills
must be, CT course, carefully read.
The only instance in which the
chief executive exercised his veto
was that of the exclusive jurisdiction
act. He also put his veto on the bill
to prohibit repatriation, in other
words to prevent convict from be-
ing pardoued upon his promise to
leave the State. The bill was killed
by the Senate, but became engrossed
as an act and would have become q
law, but the Senate requested the
Governor to veto the act.
