IsoUiuSOn, w ellis anu WIN.
So the motion was lost.
The amendment of the Committee of the
Whole allowing waiver of the right of
redemption, where the debtor may be so
disposed, was adopted, yeas 20, nays 9.
Mr.. HEATON, previous to taking the
vote, by permission of the Senate, on account
of i'll health, read speech in favor of the
bill. He depicted the distress now prevail
ing, and the necessity of passing measures
OF relief, and stated that this bill was liable
to none of the objections urged against the
"Appraisement" bill, as it did not interfere
in the least degree with the lien of the
creditor upon the property held for money
advanced.
MIR. COWAN offered substitute for the
bill, which he deemed to be better fitted to
accomplish the object and less liable to any
objection; but it was rejected.
Several amendments were adopted, the
general character of which were favorable
to the creditor, but not materially altering
the bill. 1t was then ordered to third
reading.
The Senate then took recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Senate reassembled at clock.
THE COUNTY BILL.
This bill came back from the House with
amendments to the Senate amendments.
Some of these were concurred in, but the
Senate insisted on the provision limiting
the power of Commissioners to levy tax
of over three mills to the dollar.
THE "CoAD."
This ponderous document was read once
by its title.
Mr.. HODGES moved that it be referred
to the next legislature; and afterwards mod
flied his motion, that it be referred to
a committee to report on the 4th day of
July next.
Mr.. COWAN moved that the "Coad"
lie on the table until the Secretary could
procure for the use of the Senate copy,
compend or diagram of " the course of COM
mon law in the Courts of Kings Bench, in
England, anterior to the PRONUNCIATION of the
general rules and regulations of Trinity
Term Il William, 4, A. D. 1881 so far as
as the same shall be applicable"
Mr.. HEATON moved to refer the Code
to special committee. Lost.
Mr.. HODGES moved that it be referred
to the Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr.. HE ATOM moved that it be referred
to the Committee on the judiciary. Lost.
the bill ee indefinitely postponed. Declared
out of order.
Mr.. EDGERTON moved that it be re-
ferred to special committee of five. Lost.
Mr.. PETIT moved that the bill be re-
jected.
Mr.. EDGERTON, while he opposed the
introduction of the new system, thought it
would be uncourteous to the House to thus
summarily dispose of it.
Mr.. HODGES said his object was to kill
the bill at once. He contended that it was
an unheardof thing for a commission to
mature code in the period of eight days.
He said laws passed this session conficted
with the Code reported, and that it COM
tanned in itself conflicting provisions. He
said there was not time to perfect the thing,
and that he would kill it off at once.
Mr.. EDGERTON said that large por-
ton of the people of the State were in favor
of change in the code of practice, and that
in Difference to them the one before the
Senate should receive respectful consider
alton.
Mr.. NICK USICK said the document had
already cost the Senate over two thousand
dollars, and should not be rejected without
consideration.
Mr.. ANDREWS said that in New York
where the practice under the code prevailed,
itsrequired small fortune to provide law
books. He went on to show the evils of
practicing under the system proposed at
some length, but thought it should not be
summarily rejected.
Mr.. PETIT said that the reason he op-
posed the reference, was that the Legislature
had not time to consider the bill. He
wanted to know what the people would say
if at the close of the session the Legislature
wasted the time on this matter, and finally
adjourned without settling satisfactorily the
Railroad complications.
The question being on referring it to a
select committee of five, the motion pre-
vailed, and it was referred to Messrs. Edger-
ton, McKusick, Hodges, Andrews and
Kennedy.
