down from the bench and follow n drum and fife,
or bnge thro' our street, they had II very differ
ent taste from his own. True, they could pay forty
shilling, Or be hung but Mr. c., said he would not
disgrace the court, nor would he disgrace the stat
ute book with such provision. Mr. Perpont
said he opposed the bill, not because he was OPP
posed to The militia but because hc was n friend
10 the militia. The BILL in its present shape,
! without the amendments of the Senate, would
nay an officer with lis epauetts for his services,
| while it compelled the soldier with his musket to
work without pay. Giving PAY tor training was
lust the way TO break down tho nil,ia to deprive it

nit TO that much as he deprecated the converting

decisions of courts martial, smacked little too
much of placing the military above the civil pow
