COURT OF APPEALS.
From the tone of the debate in the Assembly, this
week, OH Mr. Prindles resolutions for Constitu-
tlOnAl amendment reOTSdnlbnB tuc OouIs VI NY
pes il would appear that there is but little hope of
efrectiDg the desired change, or indeed any change
in the composition Of that Court at present, and
sutors must submit to the present extraordinary
delays in the way of obtaining justice Or, perhaps,
should ray decisions for an indefinite term Of years
to coms. Judge Dean and other lawyers in active
practice opposed the amendment, on the express
ground that the elective Judiciary was an utter fail
ure. and that they would do nothing merely to
alleviate it's evils until the people brought to
see the rottenness Of the system ITSELF and scarcely
any one was found on the floor TO defend 1t. The
resolutions were lost by decisive majority.
THIRD READING OF BILLS.
This has been, perhaps the dullest day Of the ses
sion in both houees An immense pile Of bills from
the Grinding Commitees lay on the tables at the
opening, awaiting third reading, and under the
Joint rules these had to DO taken up and read before
any of the business could be transacted, that all
day long we have had little beside the monotonous
calling Of the rolls.
