her Of the Legislature Ct Kentucky, one of
the old Buck skins heard him quote the Com.
mon Law of England, as decisive in the case
then under discussion. The old fellow was
aStonishcd, ard jumping up, began:
/" Mr.. Speaker, | want to know sir. if what
that gentleman has said is true. Are we all
living under the old English Law ~
" The Speaker informed the anxious inqui-
or that the Common Law was recognized as
part of the law of tie land
Z" Well sir, resumed Buckskin," when
remember that our fathers and some nf MS, fit
bltd, and died, to be free from English law,
don't want tc be under any OF. it any longer.
And make motion that it be repealed right
away"
The motion VAS seconded The Kentucky
blood was up. The Bucksklns fired off
speech after speech, and Mr.. Clay had as
much as he could do to explain the matter,
and save the Legislature Of Kentucky from
repeating the Common Law of England
