The SHmiitees OIL the. Judiciary has ollell
working late annd early, and has finally re-
ported Tor tlre aclof Of the General AS
semhly, with no material alterations, the
four Bills prepared by the Commission ap-
pointed for that purpose. Tile bills are
now undergoing discussion in the two
Houses, ard as they are real section hv
section, and eac provokes amendment and
debate, the progress made is as yc: SO slow,
that we are unable SO Ear, to anticipate The
close OF the session. A resolution Oft
Senate. which has not yet been acted nncn
10y the House. proposes to perfcc, the Bills
rs far IS practicable upon a second read
ing, and then continue them for n third
reading and liral passage, until tile regular
| session. Both Houses arc agreed that
these Bills connot become laws witaoul the
| signature Of the. Governor elect, which
canno: be had before the regular stssion,
and, i'll any event that tie Legislation OF
this session must be Incomplete. This con
sidera!on, together with the slow progress
made, AMI the fact that members came
of1y anticipating short session, will se,y
likely bring about an early adjournment.
