His own covnty experienced certain inconyc.
niencies, which were unknown TO fome others.
The members, who repreient fnall counties.
cannot know the evils of an extended populati-
on and large dockets. Thofe evils were felt
by Amherit in peculiar degree. The accu-
mutation of fuit5 in that county was i'm 4 nuch
greater ratio than the decifions of the courts ::
or in other words, the number which is begun
at one term is greater than the number decided
at a former term. The fees Of the clerk were
consequently very great. Nc document had
been obtained from him to afcertainthe amount; ;
bccaufe he would not fnrnifl one: but II was
pretty certain, that his tickets independently of
perqulltes, amount to s, or 6,Ooo dollars and
the Iabours of his Office do not coa him more
than 200 dollars.
He would appeal to very 'Arikipg fat, to
thow the disadvantages ariing from4uch an i'm
perfect administration of iutice. 1t was Tonr.
times cuftomary for perfons, who had debts
due to them in Amherft county, TO demand bail
in other counties; becaufe it was much eaf-
er to obtain iuiticc in other counties than in
Amherft The merchants of Lynchburg in
Campbell county, contiguous to Amhera, have
declared that they would rather give credit Of
three years in their own county than bring
luit in Amherf. And what is the confsuncnce
that not only tho.credit of the inhabitants is We
ry low, but that much fewer fnts are inRituted
againit them than wosld otherwifs he. The
effect of this is, to diminifh the public revenue
by dimipiihing the tax on law procef. re the
Legislature would content to a divilion of the
county, any iIcfeafe Of expence might thus be
partly betrayed by an increafe in the revenue.
Mr.. Garland concluded with obfervine, that
he very well knew the expence of erecting new
public buildings would not be trivial; hut this
additional expence, the county was willing TO
iifain.
Mr.. AyieH from King Wjlliam) f7id that
three reaions had been given fortbe -diyifion of
Amherit: the delay in the administration of
jsitice; the differences among the inhabitants
themielves; and the greatness of their reve-
nue..
AS to The hrf argument, II was not peculiar
Iy applicable 70 AmhelR. There was fcarcelv
4 county IN the fate, which had not made the
fame complaint. In amoft an of them, our
laws were 70 badly executed, as frequently TO
produce delay ofiufice equivalent to a deri
Al Of It. II was not however owing 10 their DO.
rgl1'ion, bat to An actual defect IN the admin
itr>tion Of iutice. II was a defed which ex-
tended tofmall as well as large counties. and if
this was a good reafon for dividing AmherR. e.
very other county in the Rate ought alto 20 be
divided.
N,ither was the argifnent good one, which
was drawn from the greatness oftheir revenue.
For upon the fame ground, might Caroline.
hlbemarle and Hanover claim the fame pryi-
