What fifty -four lawyers in the Convention Of
ls46 could not stave of DIRECTLY twenty six ofthem

ceeded in multiplying in the Legislature Of 1871
the Law Reform Postponement bill, for such is its
true character, was passed today In Assembly, and
Walworth, Worden and Collier are Commissioners
OF the Code. Mr. Bsscom voted against reforming the
body Of the law on the Gth OF October last with Mr.
Worden Of course he could not seriously object to
men who were then with him in steady opposition TO
reform code-nor were there any ELECTIONS. Mr. Plan
