Excerpt from A Statement of Facts in Connection With the Petition of the Springfield Aqueduct Company, for an Addition to Their Act of Incorporation: Also, Hon. W. G. Bates' Argument Before the Committee of the Legislature on the Subject, March 23, 1849
The foregoing is an impartial summary of the statements made by the several witnesses, who appeared before the Committee of the Legislature when the parties were heard, so far as the statements had any bearing on the issue, and as nearly in the same language as could be taken down by an expert and accurate reporter. The minutes of the counsel for the petitioners have also been consulted, The object being to give a fair view of, the material portion of the evidence in as brief a manner as was consistent with the object, much irrelevant matter has been omitted.
It now remains to allude to the manner in which the petitioners have been met, and the expedients which have been resorted to, to defeat the object prayed for.
