KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Debates on Mr. Grundy's Resolution for establishing Circuit Courts, concluded from our last.
Wednesday, November 18.
Mr. HOPKINS made some general observations on the history of this business. A year ago it was proposed to make a radical change in two judiciary systems. The question was lost; but it was lost in such a manner, that the public mind had felt some degree of agitation. The proposal was now revived—but on different grounds; yet in the course of the argument this new ground was deserted by the amendment to the resolution,—which left the question in precisely the same situation as it stood in last year. What, then, have been the public reflections? What the opinion of the people on the system then proposed? every gentleman knew, that the verdict of the people had in fact been passed upon it,—and that it had not received their approbation.
The circuit court system, indeed, had many imperfections attached to it.
Its novelty was a presumption against it. It was inconsistent with sound policy to change the great departments of government without very cogent reasons for so doing. A country which did so subjected itself to that versatility of opinion which destroys confidence, and is productive of the most serious consequences,—and exposes itself to that kind of contempt which falls on persons who change without rhyme or reason. The judiciary is a component part of the government, and perhaps, the most important part. To change it unnecessarily would impair public credit, which in young countries particularly it is indispensably necessary to cherish. The man who lends,—the man who forms a contract, has no confidence in the mode which the law has provided for him to recover his property. Amidst all the conflicting scenes which have agitated and tormented the minds of the people of that country from which we had for the most part derived our origin; the stability and purity of their courts of justice, had, notwithstanding, given to the British the confidence to call himself free.
In Virginia, he remarked, the courts had not been subject to much versatility. The general court, which had sufficiently answered their purposes, when their population was more concentrated, had branched out into the district courts: but their county court had remained the same. Attempts had been made to change, alter, to abolish perhaps radically their judiciary establishments:—but the good sense of the people had rejected the proposal:—and he appealed to the gentlemen whether justice had not been administered in that country? Surely if it had not; the good sense of the people of that country would have adopted another mode of administering it. He then took a view of the progressive state of the courts in this country,—and remarked that the district courts had fully answered the purposes for which they had been established.
Who (said he) has been denied justice? Who has complained that justice has been delayed, bought, or sold? It was the first time, he observed, that he had ever heard the principle of equality applied to places and to mere convenience, instead of rights. It is right that every man should have equality of decision, when he goes into court:—but if it relates to place, there will be the same reason for dividing counties into hundreds, as for giving to every county precisely the same kind of courts.
On the topic of expence, he observed, that expence was the parliamentary legerdemain, by which gentlemen attempted to conjure down all opposition:—but a small expence ought not to be regarded in a matter so important as the equal distribution of justice. The fact, however, was that the new system would be the most expensive. The multiplicity of courts under the proposed system, would likewise be productive of a wonderful disunion of opinion. There was no confidence in existence, which afforded scope for a greater variety of opinion than the law. What then could be expected when 20 or 30 judges come to establish new points? Did we not very often find new crimes and new causes of action? There must then be new adjudications, and was there any probability of uniformity upon the system
of circuit courts? The probability would be still less as our counties should multiply: for as the number of courts and judges increased, there would be the greater contrariety of sentiment and the greater discordancy of decision.
The consideration of the effects of the proposed change as it related to non-residents he considered as important. Non-residents, like other men, would go to those courts where there was the greatest probability of obtaining substantial justice. He admitted that the state courts were not to be furnished out for the accommodation of non-residents, but they ought to recommend themselves to their attention; by their wisdom, their purity, and by the promptness and consistency of their decisions. He considered it as an evil that the docket should be so enormously swelled in a court—which to say the least is but an excrescence on the judiciary power of the country, and portends consequences ominous to the independence and integrity of the individual states.
After some further observations to this effect, he took notice of the argument of the gentleman from Lincoln (Mr. Logan) who had maintained that one judge was substantially as good as two, an argument, he observed, which though very convincing, no doubt, to the gentleman's own mind, was not very substantial logic. The principle of jeopardizing on one man a cause of magnitude, was too generally repugnant to public opinion, to render much being said in opposition to it, by any means necessary.—If one judge be as good and safe as two;—why would not a legislator be as good as 60? Where there are two judges; they can compare their opinions, & mutually reason upon them: and it is from the collision of sentiment, said he, that you obtain the spark of truth. If one judge it on my life or my fortune; he is omnipotent as to the point. Much of my dearest interests may depend on his indolence. If there be two; each has an additional motive to exert his faculties and to think with care and precision. Judges are but men:—a judge carries with him to the bench the feelings and propensities which compose the man; these you correct by uniting with him another man composed of feelings and propensities somewhat dissimilar.
He then made some ingenious observations on the article of expence, and concluded with adverting to the argument deduced from what had been said on a former day, leading to a conclusion that on the principle of the advocates of the district system, one court would be sufficient. This, he observed was by no means a fair conclusion. There might be a necessity for seven or eight courts, and yet there might be no necessity for 43. Make courts enough; and you do good: create too many and you do an injury.—The object should be to hit the proper point, & surely there were right methods of organizing these principles as all others. If you branch out your judiciary in such a manner as to impair the confidence of the country; you create an evil;—if you extend it only so far as to answer the purpose of convenience, and the prompt and pure administration of justice; you give birth to a great and substantial good.
Thursday, November 19.
The debates on the two proceeding days having extended to so great a length, we are under the necessity of confining ourselves to a very brief sketch of the arguments which were used on the present day.
Mr. PURVIANCE introduced the subject. He observed that it was conclusive in favor of the existing system, that none preferable to it had been suggested,—that as the jurisdiction of the circuit courts was to be the same as that of the district courts, the judges ought to be equally well qualified, and their number bear the same proportion, to the present district judges as the number of the circuit courts would bear to the district courts:—that the great error of the opposite side had been to attribute to the counties separate distinct interests, instead of regarding the state as a whole, and the general good as the great object; that it was with a view to this general good, the state had been divided into counties, and with the same view it had been again divided into districts, and that both must increase with the increasing population of the country; that counties had been established in consequence of the prayer of the inhabitants, and their representations of their capaci-
ty to fill the offices required in the counties: that if it turned out otherwise, they had no reason to complain: that many new counties even on the present establishment of courts had been an expence to the state, which, however, as the state had foreseen it must be borne; but that this was no reason why an additional expence should be incurred in their favor by the establishment of circuits; that to give a county containing two hundred voters the same public provisions as to one containing 2000, would be an act of injustice to the larger counties who must bear the burden.
Mr. GRUNDY introduced his speech by observing that as the importance of the question had no doubt impressed itself on the mind of every member; he needed not he presumed, ask for a patient and an attentive hearing while he endeavoured to remove those objections, which had been raised against the proposed change. Gentlemen ought to recollect that they were not legislating for a day, that posterity might feel the effects of that day's deliberations. Ought we not then (said he) to divest ourselves of local prejudices and to be actuated by no other motive, but that of general good?
He then proceeded to answer those objections which were most plausible and some of which, at first view, wore the aspect of solidity.
The novelty of the scheme is made an objection. But let us decide (said Mr. Grundy) that nothing shall be done unless the same things have been done heretofore; and we at once put a stop to every kind of improvement, was it not a new thing for an infant country like America to rise in arms against her mother country and declare herself free and independent? Yet we find, when necessity give birth to the expedient, that patriots were not wanting who were willing and did actually make this glorious experiment. With such an example before us; why should we be afraid of the proposed change, (because of its novelty) provided the good effects produced by it will in all probability be greater than the advantages we enjoy under the present system? The charge of novelty however, he added, was ill founded. In some of the American states the people have long experienced the beneficial effects of the system now contended for; and nothing can be more alike than that system of jurisprudence which is the boast of Englishmen, and the one now proposed. In England the facts are always found by a jury, in the county where the transaction took place, which occasioned the contest; but how differently are we situated under the present system, the suiter has not only to travel himself, but is compelled to drag his witnesses to a distant county.
It is contended that the parties and witnesses need not attend the district courts, if the jurisdiction of those courts is confined to ejectments, chancery causes and criminal cases.
Let us first enquire (said he) whether it would be proper to confine the jurisdiction of the district courts to the trial of those questions only? You erect district courts, because quarter session courts are incompetent to decide on the title of your property: and yet your reputation (which to any man of sentiment) is of more value than property, is left to the mad discretion of an ignorant quarter session court. The idea of thus abridging the jurisdiction of those courts, he considered as highly preposterous on another ground: at present they did not sit one half of their terms, and yet it was proposed to curtail their jurisdiction. Many difficult questions arose on actions of debt: then the quarter session courts were represented to be fully competent to decide; and yet they were deemed to be totally unequal to land causes. They are confined, it is said, to questions under fifty pounds; but does the amount of the sum contested, constitute the intricacy of the case? The proposition for getting clear of expence, by blending the county and quarter session courts, he considered as a curious device. It was, in fact, adding the whole load of ignorance of the county court to that of the court of quarter session,—a load which would sink the justice of any country. Happily, too, would this scheme secure the uniformity of decision so much talked of! Three justices sit to day: another three to-morrow, and yet they are all to be men of
one mind, men whose decisions will be uniform!
As to the number and poverty of counties, he could only consider the denying of poor counties access to the courts of justice in the same light as denying to the poor man that equal justice which was granted to the rich. Were counties formed, just to enable the people to vote? Were they not formed on the principle of convenience, a principle which would apply as well to one county as to another? the expences of the several counties, would be merely in proportion to the business they furnished: and after all this system which would put all the counties upon an equal footing, would cost 6000 dollars less than the present system of inequality and oppression.
A gentleman of the bar had spoken of the danger which would arise from young lawyers becoming judges. For his own part he beheld in that gentleman himself a confutation of the argument. His handsome talents and the able manner in which he supported the opposite side of the question, fully satisfied him that young lawyers were to be found who would not discredit the bench.
He considered the resolution as contemplating nothing more than an extension of the district system. Originally six courts had been thought enough: they were now found not to be sufficient.—Thirty or forty were wanted, and it was immaterial by what name they were called. But three new judges would be wanted, and surely the country could furnish so many. These added to two associates would form a valuable court. Much had been said in favor of the strong sense and sterling honesty of the quarter session justices: take that strong sense and sterling honesty and add to them the legal knowledge of a learned judge, and you have an excellent composition for a court of justice.
Mr. Grundy then observed, that he had with some uneasiness heard it mentioned, on the other side of the question, that the inhabitants of the little county towns, who were interested, had alone been industrious in declaiming in favour of a change in the judiciary. He was of opinion, that men had stepped forward on that side of the question, who were actuated by more noble and benevolent motives; and it appeared to him, that so far as interest had any thing to do with the question, many of the most influential characters in the commonwealth had been enlisted by their interest on the other side, and by this means it was the voice of reason and justice had hitherto been unattended to on this question. To enforce this observation, he added that most of those counties which possessed a numerous representation had district courts: all the district judges, were no doubt in favour of the continuance of the present plan, and besides those, all large land holders were anxiously concerned for the preservation of a system which promised ease and convenience to them at the expence of their antagonists: and surely we do furnish to the large land holder an unreasonable advantage over the poorer part of our citizens when we provide for them a system which saves them the trouble of going to the four or five counties where their lands lie, and enables them to compel their poor antagonists all to meet them at a district court, whose interest it certainly would be, whilst labouring under such disadvantage and accumulation of expence, to abandon their claims rather than ruin themselves by a contest.
It is urged, said Mr. Grundy, that the circuit courts will never be able to decide on all the business both of the district and quarter session court; this he considered a very unsubstantial argument; the reason why the dockets of the district courts are crowded, is that most of the business of which those courts have cognizance for four or five adjoining counties, is thrown into one court,—and that delay which is inseparable from ignorance in judicial proceedings, is the cause why suits remain so long untried in the quarter session courts. Let the business which is now tried in the district courts, be decided on in the county where the cause of action originated, and have a judge of law to preside in each county; and you will then distribute the causes of which one district court, at present has jurisdiction into four or five circuit courts, and that dispatch of business which will be occa-

oned by the addition of a man of legal talents to the court in each county, will enable the circuit courts to do all the business in a much shorter period than at present.
It has been enquired how the causes now depending in the district courts are to be disposed of? Are they to be distributed into the different counties; if so other lawyers must be employed, and that delay which we have lately experienced on a similar occasion will be again felt; I answer (said Mr. Grundy) there is no necessity for a distribution of the causes. The papers now in possession of the district clerk, may be easily transferred to that clerk of the circuit court, in which the district court sits: then the delay spoken of, will not take place, and the lawyers will not be released from their engagements to their clients.
It had been said that there are not jails in the new counties. This objection he thought entitled to no kind of weight, as it would shortly be removed by the erection of sufficient jails in each of those counties; but the objection of the present system, were as permanent as the system itself: they are interwoven in the very constitution of the courts themselves, and nothing but a fundamental change could effect a cure of those maladies under which our judiciary at present laboured.
Mr. Grundy concluded a speech which did equal credit to his talents and his temper, by observing, that he had little expectation of seeing the resolution adopted which was now before the committee. He anticipated the time, however, when equal rights would be distributed throughout the state, and whatever might be the decision of the legislature on the present question, he should cheerfully acquiesce, satisfied with the inward consciousness of having done his utmost in favour of a change, which he regarded as founded on justice, and affording the prospect of general utility.
Mr. HUGHES replied to Mr. Grundy, and took a view of the most prominent features of the opposition made to the present system. The similarity alledged between the proposed circuit plan, and that which had so long stood the test of experience in England, by no means existed. In England every issue is made up at Westminster, and sent on to different counties for the questions of fact to be tried there. This was how it ought to be, and he was in favor of having the common law jurisdiction taken from the district courts and confined to the counties. The great advantage of the English system (as Sir William Blackstone had observed) was that the judges were all legal men; that they met together at stated times, and possessed at once both opportunity and ability to reason and decide on the great questions of law. This view of the English judiciary, afforded a strong argument against the proposed system.
After Mr. Hughes had made a variety of other remarks; the committee rose and reported the resolution as amended. The amendment was agreed to without a division, and then the question was taken by Yeas and Nays on the resolution as amended.

VALUABLE BUILDINGS, and the Lots of ground they are on, in Paris—they begin at the Main Corner Street facing the Court house, and running parallel with the public ground one hundred feet—
The first a large two story frame building, in which there is a large well finished store house and counting room, both large fire places of brick; the other part well calculated for a tavern, six well finished rooms plastered, and four large fire places; another room, thirty-six feet by twenty, and two fire places, and within five feet of the back room door, a brick lodging room, and a kitchen adjoining—The balance of the building of brick, two stories high; with four houses, twenty feet square, rented out to different families; convenient to those are two small kitchens—there is a stable and small garden for the use of the large building. I have also nine acres of out lots in excellent order for cultivation—Those buildings were first valued by a number of workmen at eight thousand dollars; and several useful additions have been made to them since—I will now give them extremely low, and give them clear of all incumbrance.
Another property I have in Mason county, one mile and three quarters from Limestone—two valuable over-shot mills, in as high credit for manufacturing flour, as any in the state, and are now repairing and almost done, so as to start in complete order when the season for grinding commences, with the belt Burr and Alleghany stones, rolling screens &c.—Those mills in the season for grinding, can make forty barrels of flour every day that they are worked; and any person inclining to purchase, can be informed, that the quality of the flour is superior to any that has been boated from Limestone. With those I will sell a valuable negro man, a good miller; the plantation of 140 acres, 100 apple trees, of fruit equal to any in the state, a fine clover and blue grass pasture and meadow, a small dwelling house and farm, with other out houses, cherry and peach orchard—the title indisputable; and I will give it clear of all incumbrance. For this property I have in two years paid nine thousand dollars.
I have also for sale, 700 acres of Military land, fourteen miles from Washington, North West of the Ohio river, with a very promising salt lick, supposed to have salt water, a small friar has been made, and some salt made by a Mr. Sher-

I have patents for lands near Montgomery court house, of the first quality; eight thousand acres, the half of which I will sell at one third its value; the purchaser may have his choice; patented 17 years ago; entries very special.
Also the half of 600 acres of first quality, three miles from Fleming court house; old patents and special entries—on the same terms.
I have also one thousand acres for sale, adjoining lower Mackasee's tract, level, but of inferior quality—for this I will take good horses at 6s per acre; the title undoubted.
I have also for sale about 300 acres, on Cedar creek, of Floyd's fork, with a never failing spring on it; a part rich land, and a part indifferent, within six miles of Mann's lick; this has excellent range and timber—for this I will take good salt at 12s per acre, if cash 9s per acre.
I have also for sale, six hundred acres, patented land, on Clover lick, eight miles from the Crab orchard—this I will take 3s per acre for in cash, or 4s 6d in horses.
If it will be an accommodation to those who may incline to purchase the mills, I will give in an excellent house woman, now living in Lexington.
I will also sell a good flock of hogs cattle, mares and colts, with the mills.
I will give such excellent bargains in all, or any of the aforesaid property, that any person inclining to purchase, may be well accommodated. The mills I will deliver up the tenth of March next, or if sooner required, on a little more advance, they shall be given up.
Money, good Merchandise Negroes, and Horses, will be taken by instalments, as will best suit the purchaser.
Application to my son John Edwards, jun. in Bourbon, or to Mr. David S. Brodrick, in Washington, or Mr. Enoch Smith, near Montgomery court house, or James Brown esq. in Lexington, for information and contracts with respect to the property, or to the subscriber, either in Bourbon or Washington, may be made.
Any of my creditors choosing to purchase, shall have on the lowest terms, as I am determined to sell.

The Register of the land office is entitled to receive the relinquishment of any land titles in the same manner, and under the same regulations as are prescribed for the relinquishment of rights to lands with the surveyor of the county in which the land or the greater part of it may lie, by an act authorizing persons to relinquish their rights to lands, passed from the 4th day of December, 1794. And where an act of requisition shall be executed, by an agent either with the county surveyor or the register: it shall be necessary for the surveyor or the register as the case may be, to receive the power duly authorized and recorded with such act.

AN ACT to amend the act for preventing vexatious suits, and regulating proceedings in civil cases.
When a suit is commenced in any court having jurisdiction thereof, founded on any writing under seal or not, the court shall receive the same as evidence of the debt: but the defendant may deny the execution of the writing, by plea supported by oath, which affidavit may be made before a justice of the peace, or the clerk of the court in which the suit is pending.
If any person resident of this state shall institute a suit at common law or in chancery in any court, and afterwards removes out of this state he shall give security (to be approved of by the clerk of the court) in a bond under such penalty as the clerk may deem proper, conditioned for the payment of the costs that may accrue in consequence of such suits, which bond shall be filed on or before the first day of the next term after such removal, or on failure thereof the suit may be dismissed on motion: and where a bond is given, it shall be lawful for the clerk of the court to issue any writ of execution vs. plaintiff and the security in such bond, for all costs which may be adjudged by the court, to the defendant against the plaintiff in any such suit, and the officers of such court may issue their fees bills against the security in such bond.

If any practicing attorney at law, shall in his official capacity receive or collect any money for his client or employer, and shall fail to pay the same when required by the person entitled thereto, or to his order, it shall be lawful on motion made in the district or quarter session courts, in which the attorney resides, to demand judgment for the same and the court is required to give judgment for the amount so collected together with the costs of such motion, and to award execution thereupon, provided such attorney has ten days notice of such motion.
If a defendant shall die before final judgement, the suit shall not abate, but may be renewed against the executors or administrators of the decedent.
Any suit hereafter depending in any court, founded on any writing under seal, the defendant may impeach or go into consideration of the said bond.
Whenever a writ of scire facias shall issue to renew a judgment against the defendant or bail to shew cause why judgement shall not be entered up against such bail or against errors or omissions, it

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
EPIGRAM.
As two divine, their ambling steeds besiding, In merry mood, o'er Bolton Neck were riding, At length a simple structure met their sight, From whence the felon takes his hempen flight, When sailor like, he squares accounts with hope, His all depending on a single rope— "Ah! where my friend" cries one, "where now were you, "Had yonder gallows been allow'd its due?" "Where?" quoth the other, in farcatic tone— "Why where but riding into town alone?"
ANECDOLE.
A gentleman being confined to his chamber with the gout, gave his watch to an Irish footman and bade him set it by the dial in the garden: He goes directly to the dial, and not knowing what to do, and being unwilling to return to his master, without showing he would go him what service he was able, he got a pick-axe, and dug up the sundial; which being done, he with great labour, carried it up to his master, and told him he did not very well understand setting watches by sundials, but had brought up the dial that he might set his watch by it.
