by A1r. Towncs, of Grecnvile. which seems
to meet with some favor. providing for annu.
nj sessions of the Courts in tho spring of each
year. The bill applies rs we'll to tho Courts O.
Sessions, as the Common Pleas, but will be
amended so ms 10 embrace only the latter.
The effect Of the bill would be to lay an en-
barge upon the issue of W, its until the sprin.-
term of the Count, and with our prcsc:.. sys-
tenn of imParlances would prevent the obtain.
ing Of Judgment until The October Term. This
measure would afford all tho relief to debtors
which can now be extended, and would prob
ably he sufficiently acceptable to that class as
I" al!hy the general discomfort. Such at least
is the opinion Of several who come from, dis
tricts where there has been the most feeling on
lhc subject.
The recommendations Of tho mcssape on tho
subject o. provid.ng relief Tor tho INDECENT of
tho State, III the present city, were referred
to large Special Committee both uou..s
who have been Iusiiy employed in co .lec,inp
Inio' NATION on the subject, but have not vet
reported. We suppose that oil tie relief will
lie extended that js compatible with the i'm
pared credit and resources of the State. In
Crisis like the present, the highest dnt, Of
the State is TO mid the necessities of its ctiz,ns
and this is nike demanded by Considerations
cf humanity and true policy.
great number of BILLS haze bce, ;n,r,
d"ced upon every variety of subjects, bu. we
suppose that the majority oe them will Lc con-
tinucd over until the regular Session. 4 rcso-
