A bill to amend Section 1850 and 1881 Of
the Civil Code on costs, was in order
Mr.. A. F. Judd moved to read by the title.
Carried.
His Ex. S. H. Phillips moved to indefinitely
postpone. He said that the bill contemplated
a radical change in the matter of costs. rais-
ing some and cutting of good deal from
others. He had observed that the principal
reduction had not been of the costs that would
go to the lawyers, but those gong to the treas
ury. Most Of the clerks of government were
paid out of these costs. In law suits, the
losing party had to pay the costs. That was
fair, if party chose to put off paying their
proper debts, and went to law it was fair that
they should have to pay for it. He objected
to making the costs SO small that people
would go to law for fun, or out of spite. He
thought it hardly worth while to legislate on
the matter, and was in favor Of indefinitely
postponing the matter.
Mr.. A. F. Judd said that the Attorney Gen
eral could hardly judge in the matter, rs he
had not been in the country as long as some
of the other lawyers, and could not yet have
seen the bearing of those matters on the coun-
try. The bill had been introduced to take of
some of the burdens from the poorer people.
Motion to indefinitely postpone was lost, and
the bill ordered to engrossmsnt.
House adjourned.
