but himself" Heappealed to the House
to permit him to introduce it; he is q
preacher of the gospel" !" and desires the
Legislature to pass a bill authorizing
him to solemaize marriages outside OF
his county.
Mr.. JACOB very feelingly appealed
to the magnanimity of the House to
grant the desired leave, as the subject
was ofgreat importance not only to the
gentleman himself but was pregnant
with interest to many yet unknown.
Leave was not granted.
Mr.. NEWLIN introduced 4 notice
citing Judge W. l.. HiAdman, Judge
of the Judicial Circuit, to appear on the
oath day of February, and answer to ar
ticles of impeachment, for having per-
mitted Samuel A. Miller, of Kanawha
county, and Samuel Price and Daniel
Hounshel, of GreenbrIer county, to prac-
tice in his Court without having taken
the Attorneys Test Oath prescribed by
the Legislature of this State.
Considerable discussion arose upon
the adoption of the resolutions; but as
the whole question will probably he
more fully reviewed in the House here
after, we shall make no abstract of the
debate. However, Mr.. FERGUSON sta
ted that Judge Hindman would not
shirk investigation; would not deny the
facts set forth, but would affirm and at
tempt to justify them. If the Judge
were here, he would probably tell them
to go ahead. He believed the Judge
expected this proceeding and was pre-.
pared for it.
