The Senate resolution providing for the appoint
ment of joint committee to report upon amend
ments 10 Inc code cC ng Up in regular oIdtr,
Mr. SHREWSBERRY expressed himself as OPP
rossd to the res Iiu'ions he thought IL import9ht
that each Hoase have active committee witch
Nill inv, stga'e these bnEs lIok MO tho facts and
report upon them. His ext erienoe ahhOnah limit
ed was that account Of the number ana diff ;ul y
Cf &c ting together jaint committee, you can Sc
sed m get report from il. For this reason be
moved nor concurrence in the resolution.
Mr. CALDWELL ccneuTred with the gentleman
as to the nefciency of large committees, but would
submit if il is not questionable whether joint
committee. would not facilitate this work more than
il it were left 60 2 seoAraie committee in each
House, in which cesc it seemed to him there would
be great conflict 10 the sciisn Of the two houses.
He was of opinion tina there would be mos ter
Tbe anslousht On the code, and shai separate co9-
Hitiees would rltard the work Of r6fJrm more than
o Joint committee.
Mr. NAgTIN thought it probable that there
would be grest msny motions to amend the code;
that it was very DETECTIVE code and needed amend
lag in coed many partisuers. If he understood
the object of the Senate resolution II was in eff CT
preparing for revision Of the code. he thought
there vas necessity f'r euoh committee, Tor PC
have a eomz iitee Gthe Judiciary in each House
which is fully coll etent to examine bills that sre
intended to change the code. If we are gong to
have a committee 10 expmiDe iuto cad es ao'lsh Wnat
