There will be but little General legisla
ton, with probably the usual amount @
corporations, and some special Legislation
to meet the wants of different sections c
the State. The law enacted at the la.
session for the more equal distribution c
property among creditors and supercedin,
the old attachment system, proves unpoI
ular and unsatisfactory in its operatio
and the practice under is very expensiy
to.citi2ens. There is no prevalent eispt
sition TO return TO the old grab law" 5
called, but to so modify the existing Law
is to make its provisions more harmoniou
and better adapted TO the wants of tn
people. II. c.
