The Legislature.

On Saturday last, the bill to charter the "Peo-
pies Bank of North Carolina" introduced by Mr.
Caldwell, of Guilford passed its second reading in
the Commons by vote Of SO to 81. We have no
idea, however. that this bill can become law.
The bill to establish new Judicial Circuit has
been rejected by the Senate. Judging from pres
ent Impressions it is not probable that addition
al circuit will be created.
On Monday last Daniel W. Courts Esq, re-
elected State Treasurer by an almost unanimous vote
This is a deserved tribute to one of the abest and
most faithful officers the State has ever had.
But little business will be transacted during the
present week, nor indeed until after the 1st of next
month There are several questions of paramount
importance to be discussed and determined and in
view of this, and as the Assembly meets but once in
two years, it must be expected that the session will
be long one. 1t is much better to take time, and
legsate we'll, than to time, it is called, and
legsatc hastily and imperfectly 1t probable that
the two Houses will not be able to dispatch their
business and adjourn sine die before the LIST Of Feb
ruary.

in his own cause. OF six judges with whom con-
versed on the subject, five told me that they were
satisfied it was an improvement on the old system,
and several Of them. originally opposed to it, had
been converted by seeing its operation.
am not now to argue the general merits of the
question, whether arrive at the truth of GER
tain controverted state of facts it is really wiser to
ask, or refuse to ask, those who unquestionably
know most about the matter. But one advantage of
the English system had not before occurred to me,
and when stated will, think, appear considerable
to every practical lawyer.
1.-THE permission to call party becomes a COM
pnlson to do so, because the omission to do it opens
the door for fatal attack that liz practice the
is more, they are always first called This puts at
once an end to all nessing about the order of esti-
mony. There is no arrangement Of witnesses; no
putting this one forward because he is more favor
able, no keeping that one back because he knows
a little too much The plaintiff defendant is first
called he states his case. If he breaks down on
examination the case is pretty much up it
ought to be fnot you coiroborae as best you may.
The practice undoubtedly smplifies the trial of

1t has been asked why the same principle should
not he applied to criminal cases. 1t may be answer
ed that it does already apply, to certain extent,
and even, perhaps, to an injurious extent, which
might, in the opinion Of some, be remedied by its
pe the plaintiffs oath alone without other testimony
is sufficient to convict the accused Some have ask
ed. would it not be just that the testimony Of the
cused should also be admitted and weighed in such
cases? We leave the question for the consideration
of legal reormers in the hope that nothing may be
done rashly having a tendency to take away any
well-estabshed and approved safeguards of law.
