Mr. MARCH, from the Judiciary Committee, to whom was referred Mr. Jones' bill (S. 52) to render public officers competent to testify as witnesses in actions brought on their relation in the name of the State, reported the sime back with an amendment, and recommended its passage.
The report was concurred in, the bill read the second time, and ordered to be engrossed for the third reading.
