The free cir- s i • :sediDP t° culation of air which was wanted to prevent fevers, was injurious in chronic disorders, and yet from M.S. want of room it became necessary in most hospitals • ' • to mingle all patients. The Committee were of °pi- ' nion, that if it were possible to remove th e fever - A Thompsos , cases from the zest, the spreading of the contagion I • , would be considerably checked. 'I 0 this effect, though arch e. the on a very limited scale, the Committee requested that '` t it Meal was .

' Sir JOHN NEWPORT *said, it would be in the recollection of the House, that some time since the j i. he Day for v Churches' first Law Officer of the Crown for Scotland, had ' e Cask. 1 discuss the stated in this House, that certain Acts of Parliament me course of in Scotland had gone into desuetude, that the Su- . 4 rat amend- preme Court of Law in Scotland had the power of 1 the Bill. ,war agreed pronouncing what Acts of th e Legislature were, and in council what were not in force ; and that it was so. well i Parishes. known that such a power was exercised by the Lords ame Noble of Session, no man from that part of the country uof Braze- i. could be ignorant of it. Now, as it was important • ' move, in a that the people of Scotland, as well as the people t• Ruse, which of other parts of the Empire, should know by what • . ' F which was laws they were bound, and for that purpose that they the Act of should look to the Statute-book, and not to the pro- on persons Church of ceedings of .Courts of Judicature, it was important 't • ri g the same. to know what laws were, and what were not, in irdered the desuetude. This was important, not merely to the 1 people of Scotland, but also to the people of the other as fixed for r that day : parts of the Empire who might have connections ' t 1 ' tton Manu- with them. One ground that was stated fotßa law's • / • t open Out- not b e i ng acte d on was so e x t raor di nar y, t h at i t i it carded, the • , could not fail to astonish the house ; a law was con- ' sidered as in desuetude, and no longer binding, when ' 1 for a long time it had not been acted on ; so that in esented Ac- proportion as a statute had been operative in the pre- ' ) Harbour.— vention of crime, in that proportion was it to be • i ~ ry, py- considered a nullity—(hear, hear.) It was stated !nt I t omelet ra of farther in some particular instances, some parts of 4 to table. an Act were in desuetude while other parts were in i - 4 ' on Bill was force—(heae, hear.) Whatever opinion might be en- .•, 1 1 toy Act was tertaint,: of the absurdity of some o f the Scotch sta- • tutes, it beknged to the Legislature, and the Legis- Lctures, and lature alone, to repeal the law; and if a Court of fight up and Law thought fit I.) erect thein..elves into a Legisla- . Cducation of , ture, it was full time to warn them that they had exceeded their duty.
