ital. The Legislature has done mucl
work. The Civil Practice Act has beer
passed, the Supervisor system adopted
and the criminal code went through
the Senate yesterday, by vote of TWEEN
ty-threc yeas to eighteen nays. Whe,
you consider that the Practice Act alon,
will make more than two hundred pages
and the Criminal Code half as much, YOU
may form correct idea of the LII O.. be
slowed upon these acts by the Judiciary
Committees, and by the members of both
Houses, all Of whom, | doub, not, have
carefully examined every portion of both
acts. presume the Criminal Code will
get through the House next week.
Thus far.two hundred al d nin.,y hill
have been introduced in the House, and
one hundred and ninety in the Senate.
Up to this time thirty,six acts have been
approved by the Governor. The Civil
Practice Act and the Supervisor Bill are
in the hands Of the enrolling Clerk, and
will soon be approved. The Governor
will also approve number of bills of
, more or less Importance to-day.
