Res lrsd, That The Committee OF Courts inq uire
into the erpediency Of amending the SD section Of

Commonwealth and in certain corporations therein

section 10 contracts relating TO real as well per-
sonnl estate.
| The Committee of Courts reported adverse to
petition OF Charles Bruce, George Bruce, SC, free
persons OF color, 10 remain IN the Commonwea tn.
MIR. hullen moved TO reverse the report, and tina
leave be gwen 10 bring IN bill TO permit the peti-
| TONERS TO remain III the State until A pn. 1916
MIR. NJ. made some explanations IN support o
| his motion-which was agreed TO.
SNAIL NoTRs.
Mr. flolleman, from Committee Of Banks, report
ed a bill extending the time of issuing small notes
April next.
MIR Dlbney wished some friend OF the bill would
give some reasons for the proposed measure. I'M
less some good reasons given for disturbing
the Legislation OF last session, lie must oppose II.
MIR Toer stated that he had proposed the resou-
ton out OF which this bill grew. lie proposed no
favor 10 tho banks by this object was TO accom-
modaie the people. He did not know that the
banks desired the privilege. Before the present act
the country flooded by the small notes Of other
StRtes-since that, we have had our own notes
which were equivalent to specie. If the privilege
IS not extended, the deprecated notes Of other
States would return amongst us.
MIR Ho,eman thought, 1t the banks did not want
the privilege, 1t would be useless to force il upon
them. he controvertec the position of MIR Toier
that these notes banlshed the deprecated notes o,
other Slntes-they LanIshed specie, which every
body preferred. Ele thought the House, by ITS vote
the other day, had Indicated their disposition to give
no relief 70 the banks IN the important matter OF IL
per cent interest, and he supposed II would not
trouble itself to give this tuhng relief. he
hoped the question would he haally disposed Of 10y
refusing 10 order the bill to a second reading.
MIR Wood supported the bill, as one OF great
convenience TO h = region OF country.
