RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.
Mr. HURD, from the Committee on Rights and Privileges, returned the petition of S. H. Floyd, for the protection of property from injury bo hunting parties in inclosed fields : recommending that it be laid on the table.
Mr. LEE returned Mr. Frasier's bill [284], to amend sections 1, 2, and 3 of the act of March 6, 1855, to provide for the relocation of county scats, and for the disposition of groonds used for county seats, &c.: a majority of the committee recommending that it be laid on the table.
These reports were concurred in.
Mr. HEFFREN. The bill provides, that where two-thirds desire it, they may relocate, &c.; and where the county buildings have become old, it authorizes the Commissioners to condemn them, and take their proceeds and build new ones on other grounds designated by two-thirds, &c.
Mr. SMITH of Bartholomew, hoped the report would be concurred in. The committee had had the matter before them for 10 days, and considered it well. They had been lobbied with and humbugged more for this bill than for any other bill of the session. It would give too much power to the county commissioners. He spoke generally against the bill.
Mr. HEFFREN replied.
Mr. NEBEKER supported the report.
The report was concurred in, and accordingly the bill was laid on the table.
