d. co.. lid; 4.
Worldly to part of Senate amendments of chapter
81 of Revision of justices of the Peace"
| 10 considering the above amendments there was
some discussion in relation to the jurisdiction of
Justices of the Peace.
Mr. Adams, of Colchester, though, that as the
House had voted that jurisdiction should be Civ
en- to the extent of two hundred dollars, and had
refused to reconsider the vote, it would be unwse
to recede from their proposition SO to extend ju-
riSdction Of Justices.
MIR. Cushman, Of Rochester, also spoke in favor
Of the House insisting upon their amendment.
He could see no reason for limiting jurisdiction to
less sum than two hundred dollars.
Messrs. Chandler and Shaw thought it was best
In this case OF inconvenience to allow the law
TO remain as it had been heretofore and as favor.
ed by the Senate. Mr.. Shaw believed that it
might be necessary or at least judicous, in this,
and other cases OF Disagreement beside this to
allow the existing law to stand, in place of max
ing any change. it would be better than to come
to dead lock, and be unable to proceed.
MIR. Chandler, presented at some length the
argument that extending the jurisdiction of Justi-
ces would only result in greater number Of ap-
peals to the county court.
Mr.. Adams OF Colchester could not see why
committee of conference could not be appointed
IN this case ct disagreement well as any other
and he coHId therefore see no reason Tor falling
back upd1 the old law as had been urged
Mr.. Lynde favored insisting upon the amend
ment, because ne believed the proposed extern
sion OF jurisdiction was desired by the people of
I the State, and would undoubtedly be for their
interest.
Mr. flags failed to appreciate many of the ar
Suments advanced In favor Of extending the iu-
rlSdctlon as proposed, and stated that he should
vote to receGe from the former vote.
Mr. Hubbel was not aware that the people had
been dissatisfied with the jurisdiction heretofore
granted to justices. The people did not regard
Justices as generally able to advise or direct them
in matters Of law; and difficult or doubtful cases
were even nov, referred to the County Court.
There would then be no gain by extending the
| jurisdiction, and there would be many more cases
appealed. The expense would thus be greater
! eventually than itnow is, in suits which would
othersise be brought before the Comfy Court in
the first instance.
The House, decided, by vote of 81, to -, to
concur with the Senate, and the law remains as
heretofore, limiting the Jurisdiction to one hun
bred dollars.
The other amendments proposed by the senate,
were in part only concurred in
BY unanimous consent Mr.. Hubbel introduced
bill to incorporate the Fairfax Cemetery Asso-
citation to Committee on Corporations.
RESOLUTION.
By Mr.. Fletcher, OF Cavendish, that the use
of the Representatives Hall be granted to Rev.
Mr.. Cyr, of Montreal, for the purpose of de-
livering historical lecture and explaining his
plans for the benefit of the French soldiers in our
armies, on Thursday, the 18th inst at O'Clock
Z. M. adopted on the part of tie House.
