TOWNS.
Mr. JONES, of Wayne, introduced a bill [43] to legalize the incorporotion of towns under an act for the incorporation of towns, defining their powers and duties, &c., approved June 11, 1852, and all by-laws, rules, regulations and proceedings adopted in pursuance thereof. The bill was passed the first reading.
Mr. JONES. I will state in reference to that bill, that there are two towns in my county, (and no doubt there are other towns in the State in the same condition,) that were incorporated under the general corporation before that law was in force before the laws were distributed. In the county seat of my county, it has become important that certain acts taken by them before the corporation law went into force should be legalized. I therefore move that the rules be suspended, and that the bill be read the second time now.

Mr. JONES. I move that it be referred to the Committee on Corporations.
Mr. PARRETT. There can be nothing gained by that reference. I move that it go to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The latter motion was agreed to.
