Mr.. Brigham Of Hydepark moved to recon
slider the vote refusing the third reading of
House bill II relating TO fees of witnesses
and grand jurors agreed to.
Mr. Rounds of Chester, in behalf of the
Judiciary committee. stated the reasons that |
induced the committee in reporting against
the bill, the fees already established being /
sufficient, and they ought not to be so in |
creased as to make too many - willing wit /
nesses : for the pay they might receive. We
are all liable to be called on witnesses, and
in return may require our neighbor the |
same capacity so that the account is usually |
balanced as between the citizens of the State |
The bill would prevent poor man from OBJ |
tanning justice because of the increased ex- !
pcnse that would attend courts of litigation,
and these expenses ought to be decreased in
stead of increased
Mr.. Hubbard of Stockbridge thought wit
nesses were entitled to as much pay for travel
as the members of the Legislature, and some
thing near suitable compensation for their
time which is as valuable to witness as a I
legislator.
Mr.. Mott Of Sharon thought the equilibri
um referred to by the gentleman from CheS-
ter would be as well maintained when fees
were at two dollars per day as at one dollar
per day.
Mr. Rounds replied to the remarks of Mr..
