    On motion of Mr. J. T. Chase, that the following be inserted as an addition to the fifth article; " but
if the said inhabitants of the town shall so decrease, as that the number of persons having right of suffrage
therein shall have been, for the space of seven years successively, less than one half of the number of voters
in some one county in this state, such town thenceforward shall cease to send two delegates or representatives
to the house of delegates, until the said town shall have one half of the number of voters in some
one county in this state.  And in case the inhabitants of the said town shall so increase, as that the number
of persons having right of suffrage therein shall be equal to the number of voters in any one county in
this state, that then the said town shall send four representatives to the house of delegates."  It was moved
and agreed, that the proposition consisting of two parts should be separated.  The question was then put
on the first part, which follows in these words; " but if the said inhabitants of the town shall so decrease,
as that the number of persons having right of suffrage therein shall have been, for the space of seven years
successively, less than one half of the number of voters in some one county in this state, such town thenceforward
shall cease to send two delegates or representatives to the house of delegates, until the said town
shall have one half of the number of voters in some one county in this state," and resolved in the affirmative.
    An amendment was then proposed to the latter part, to insert the words, " the largest" instead of the
words " any one;" upon which amendment the question was put and resolved in the affirmative.
    The question was then put on the latter part so amended, and carried in the negative.
