In SENATE.
Monday, .aprI 8.
Mr.. Sanford from the committee OF
Finance, to which had been referred the
hill from the house of Representatives,
making appropriations for the support
! of government for the current year, re-
ported the same, with some amend
ments.
/ The resolutions submitted by Mr..
TrimbIe, on Friday last, was taken up
and agreed to.
The Senate then resumed the eonsi-
deration of the bill providing summary
process for the recovery of debts due
by defaulters, &c. to the government.
According to the intimation given by
Mr.. Barbour, when the bill was last
under consideration, he offered an "a
mendment thereto, in the following
words:
And be il further enacted, That if "a
nv person should consider himself ag-
griesed by any warrant issued under
this act, he may prefer bill of com
plant TO any district judge Of the Uni-
ted States setting forth therein the ma
ture and extent of the injury of which
he complains and thereufon the judge
Aforesaid may, if in his opinion the
case requires it, grant an injunction TO
stay proceedings on such warrant alto
gether. or for so much thereof as the
nature of the case requires. But no IN
junction shall issue till the party apply.
inc for the same shall give bond and
sufficient security. conditioned for the
performance of such judgment as shall
be awarded against the complainant.
| in such amount as the judge granting
! the injunction shall prescribe.
Neiiher shalt the issuing of such
injunction in any name impair the
lien reduced by the iss .ing of such
warrant and the same proceed
ings shall be had on such injunction as
!. in other eases. except that no answer
shall be necessary on the part OF the
! United States; and if upon disolying
the injunction, it shall appear to the
satisfaction of the judge Nho shall de-
eide upon the same, that the applica7
/ ton for the injunction was merely for
delay, in addition to the lawful interest
Which shall be assessed on all sums
! which may be found due against the
] complainant, the said JUICE is hereby
authorized 10 add such damages as that
with the lawful interest, it shall not ex-
!; coed the rate OF ten per centum per an
mum on the principal SUM.
And be it further enacted, That such
iujunCtions may be granted OF dissolv-
! ed by such Judge either in or out OF
court.
| And be it further enacted, That if
any person shall consider himself ag-
grieyed by the decision of such judge.
either in refusing TO issue The injunction
or, if granted, on its dissolution, it shall
be incompetent for such person to lay
a copy of the proceedings had before
the district Judge. before a judge OF the
Supreme Court, to whom aushority is
hereby givcn either to grant the in
junction, or permit an appeal. as the
case may be, if i'm the opinion OF such
Judge of the Supreme Court the equity
of the case requires it. And thereupon
the same proceedings shall be had upon
such injunction in the Circuit Court as
are prescribed in the District Court,
and sabject to the same conditions in
all respects whatsoever.
A good deal of debate took place on
this amendment, IN which Messrs. Bar
