             HOUSE....No. 236.





     ronaontstra.tt      of  Joaosc       sjetto.




            HOUSE  Of REPRESENTATIVEs, April 18, 1855.

  The Joint Special Committee, to whom were referred several
Petitions for the abolition of Capital Punishment, have heard
the Petitioners on five different days, and have given the
subject their deliberate and serious attention. The majority
of the Committee do not feel that reasons have been presented
which would justify them in recommending that the prayer
of the Petitioners should be granted; and therefore they report
that the Petitioners have leave to withdraw, and that the Com-
inittee be discharged from the further consideration of the
subject.

                        A. G. UNDERWOOD, Senate.

                        CHRISTOPHER MARSH,
                        WM.  M.  THAYER,
                        J. G. SANDERSON,
                                              Rouse.
