to the judgment of the inspector; provided that in no case shall
an inspector measure or count any rotten or unmerchantable
wood."                       

Amendment assented to.                                                     

On motion of Mr. Valiant,

The vote just taken was reconsidered.

Mr. Valliant called for the previous question;
"Shall the main question be now put?"                

It was determined in the affirmative.                

The question being then put,             

It was determined in the negative.
Mr. Valiant offered the following amendment:

"Sec. 5. And be it enacted, That whenever the buyer or seller
of any lumber or timber shall feel himself aggrieved by any in-
spector not having done him justice, according to the provisions
of this act, either in quantity or quality, the buyer shall appoint one
of the licensed inspectors and the seller another, and they two
shall select a third person to act as umpire, who shall be a per-
son well acquainted with the kind of lumber or timber to be re-
surveyed, and not a licensed inspector, and the three persons so
appointed shall remeasure and mark said lumber or timber, and
their decision shall be final; the compensation of said arbitrators
shall not exceed fifty cents per thousand feet, to be paid by the
person found by them to be in default."

Amendment assented to.                                                     

The said bill was then read the second time, and                 

Three-fourths concurring, was read the third time as amended,
and passed by yeas and nays as follows:                               

	Affirmative.
