IUDGE GREEN,S CASE


JUDGE GREENS CASE.
The Speaker proceeded TO announce the
committee on behalf Of the House Of Dele
gates, To- conduct the enquiry for the removal
OF Judge Green, and having announced Mr..
Faulkner as chairman Of the committee,
MIR. Faulkner rose and requested the Speak
er TO excuse him from the performance Of
that service. The prominent agency which
he had had, in the creation Of that commit
tee, rendered Il q matter Of dclicacy with
him 10 decline acting as a member OF Il. The
Speaker having excused Mr.. Faulkner, then
announced the committee a. follows Messrs.
Southall, Brown and Janney.
THE CRIMINAL CODE.
The committee of courts OF Justice 60
whom was referred so much Of the Govern
or's annual message ~ relates To the Unequal
tiles Of punishment under the criminal code
Of this commonwealth, reported the follow
ing resolutions
lst- Resolved, thatit Is expedient TO rev ise
and digest the criminal code Of virginia to
specify explicitly and plainly the statutory Of
fences against this commonwealth, and to e.
qualiZe and so graduate the punishmcnts for
the same, as that each particular offence shal
have its proper and appropriate punishment
I'd. Resolved, that 90 insure more per-
feet system, and the contamination of so de-
s"a"io WoFh, mht provision should be made
by law for submitting the entire criminal iu-
risprudence OF this commonwealth to one or
moro able jurists, who shall be required for
adequate compensation. TO prepare and lay
before the next General Assembly an entire
revision Of the same, plainly and distinctly
setting forth tho existing offences against the
laws Of Virginia, and the degree and charac-
ter OF punishment which should be annexed
10 each.
Mr.. Gallaher offered the following amend
ment:
Resolved, that the said board OF iuris;s. be
directed TO report upon the expediency Of a.
polishing capital punishments within this
commonwealth.
The report together with the amendment,
was adopted by the House.
The proceedings in the Legislature, in the
case OF Judge Green, will IN all probability
be superseded by the dispensation Of Provi-
dence. We understand, that letter has Just
been received from his physician, stating that
he Is not expected to live for more than three
or four days This able and amiable man has
literally fallen a martyr to the public service
His original attack was brought on by his ex-
cessive devotion to the discharge Of his du-
ties. Rieh Eng. FEB. 8.
