PeHsauoh TOT services OF Dr. Jones'. lie had pre-


sented the memorial of Dr. j., but had been prevent-


ed from saying any thing upon it when this bill


was under consideration in committee or in the


House. The particular act under which this board


was organized was not of August, lS42, but of Nav,


lS43; Mr. d. caused to be read the 5th section, in
