State to remunerate the petitioner for services rendered the turnpike company. From the brief representation made by the petitioner it is to be inferred that the grant had been abandoned by the company, or that their corporate powers has ceased by "non user.” In consequence of which the town authorities had adopted the route, and appropriated the road to public use. If such conclusions can be drawn from the premises, it will readily be perceived that the State is under no obligations to remunerate the petitioner. The committee have therefore come to the conclusion that the prayer of the petitioner ought not to be granted, and present, for the consideration of the House, the following resolution.

Resolved, That the prayer of the petitioner, Wessel Ten Broeck, ought not to be granted.

Mr. Mattice, from the select committee to whom was referred the petition of sundry inhabitants of the towns of Blenheim and Fulton, in the county of Schoharie, praying for the passage of a law to prohibit hunting and pursuing deer with dogs,

REPORTED:

That the committee have had the same under consideration.The petitioners represent that it now is, and for many years past has been, the practice in the towns of Blenheim and Fulton, in the county of Schoharie, as well by some persons resident in said towns, as by persons residing in the adjoining towns, to hunt, pursue and destroy deer in said towns, by hunting, pursuing and destroying them with dogs.

That by the fifth section of the sixteenth title of chapter twenty, of part first of the Revised Statutes, it is provided that "no person shall at any time hunt, pursue or destroy any wild buck, doe or fawn, with any blood-hound or beagle; and whoever shall offend herein, shall forfeit twelve dollars and fifty cents."

That the statute aforesaid does not prohibit any person from hunting, pursuing and destroying deer with cur and other dogs, except hounds; and your committee are therefore of the opinion that the prayer of the petitioners ought to be granted, and have directed their chairman to ask leave to introduce a bill.
