by some oversight-it is really a Rock
| land police court-it slipped my mind
at the time; and instead of having the
salary fixed for police court for
Rocxland,' the matter slipped through
SO that the county should pay the sal
airy of the officers, and I got word from
the county commissioners that they
wanted to be heard upon that matter
and therefore moved to reeernmit it,
and it passed the Senate and was re-
| ferred to the committee and the House
non conquered with the Senate on that
proposition. I have no desire to stran-
gle the bill. 1 am in favor OF it; but
I Want the county commissioners of
the county to come before the COM
mittea and give their reasons why it
SHOULD be paid by the city. as the po-
lice court is in the city instead of the
county. I am surprised that there
should be any objection to that action.
| 1 haven't any doubt but that, when
we get it before the committee, it will
| be fixed up in l. minutes so that ev-
! erybody will be satisfied
| | never objected to a matter of that
| kind; and l do not think the Senate
will say that this matter should not be
rooommitted to the committee. | want
the county commissioners to be per-
| fectly satisfied and | want to do my
| duty by them. ! hope the motion of the
! senator from Kennebec will not pre-
| vail. in which case l shall renew my
motion and ask for a committee of
conference, as the county commission
| er. are to be here tomorrow; and we
can get together and fix this whole
matter in 10 minutes.

fairs. The House non-concurred with
the Senate in recommitting the bill to
the committee on legal affairs, and
| took no further action. The senator
from Kennebec, Mr.. Macomber. moves
that the Senate reconsider its vote
whereby it recommtted this bill to
the committee on legal affairs, and
that is now the pending question
The questions being put, the motion
