Bill respecting TOwn-clerks acknowledging deeds, read second and third times. Mr.. c. Huntington thought it would be a great convenience. Mr. A. Pettbone thought there was no necessity for it, when justices are so numerous. MT. T. Pitkin, said it was not sufficiently expIicit; was the power to ex- tend through the country or only the town {! Mir. s. Raymond, said, it is making officers over whom We have no control; if the towns wish their clerks to have this power they can easily have them appointed justices. Mr.. lngham replied by enumerating the many ad- vantages of such an act, & said that crcum- stances often forbid their becoming justices l; they might not wish it. NU danger need be apprehendtd from giving them this power. They have much more important trusts com mitted to them. This power may be prop erly committed to them; for such an act is not judicial hut ministerial. The bill was laid on tine table on motion of Mir. l. for the purpose of amendment so as to meet the ob- jection of MT. Pitkin.
