mittee, and they will come, have no doubt.

Mr.. TRIMBLE suggested that it would not
look weilto be more anxious to inquire into
eases at controversy between citizens and
Judges than between Generals and JUDGES :
ana thought General Jackson's case had bet
ter be referred along with Mr.. Lewis's 10 the
same Committee.
The question Of reference to the Judic-
AIRY Committee, of the papers presented by
'hc Speaker, was then agreed TO without op-
position.
