courts in which Mr.. Bennett presided were uni
formly improving. 1t was true, however, that
the dockets of the courts were becoming filled
with business, which seemed to indicate the
propriety of creating new judge. He, as
LAWYER, was of the opinion that careful exam
nation of cases by the judges, required this,
and the convenience of suitors also required it.
Sem Davis said that Mr. Poland had no pref
ercnces, but was ready and willing to serve the
people, to 60 where they directed. Ii six
Judges could not do the business, Sven ought
to be appointed. But if Mr. Poland was left
out, another part OF the State would be incon-
vcnlenced, and it would feet that Inconvenience
seriously; 50 that nothing would be gained in
this section. He also spoke IN high terms OF
Judge Poland as jurist.
sen Nicholson hoped that a seventh judge
would not be created to obviate this difficulty;
bccAus, tile present arrangement of choosing
Judges has been practiced tor a long time Is no
reason why it should be continued.
Sen. Chttenden said it was question OF To-
cation but that the countcs which are now
inconvenience had caused that themselves, on
former occasion, in defeating Mr.. Pierpoint.
Can not this question be settled satisfactorily to
all parties? lie would repel the idea of creat-
ing new judge as soon AS any man in the as
senbly. lie repeated that it was question of
location; no one has mpeached the ability of
any Judge; all agreed in endorsing all the
Judges. In order that the question might be
settled on its merits, he moved that the assembly
adjourn.
This motion was disagreed to.
| Mr.. Hebard of Chelsea moved that the joint
assembly adjourn till half-past ten o'clock on
Wednesday Gext.
This motion was also disagreed to-
| Y1laoaod hat tho Olson
had taken such range, and at The fair way in
which the question was met. He opposed ad-
iournment because the whole matter was
understood He thought there were juO
enough He did not think the proposition
create an additional one would meet with airy
favor certainly it did not last year. He hoptu
that those well accommodated will prize their
advantages, and extend the like advantage to
others. In the election of judges, we ought to
consult the interests of the people as a whole,
and not of individuals.
