ACTIONS AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANIES.
The Senate joint resolution No. 16, in relation to railroad corporations and companies, defining the duties of the Attorney General in regard to pending suits against railroad companies, and proceedings in actions hereafter to be brought, was taken up and read.
Mr. Branham proposed to amend by adding: Provided any suit or suits now pending, or which may be hereafter brought, may be disposed of, adjusted or compromised, as the same may be directed in writing by the Governor and Lieut. Governor, etc. Which was adopted.
And so the joint resolution was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives.
