Mr.. Pooliwas opposed to stay-laws. He
sincerely trusted the Convention would not
pass any stay7law, applying to debts since
Nav, '65. The passage of the amendment
! would commit the Convention to that policy.
Mr. !Fhilings said he too was .opposed'to
all stay,laws. There was no protection in
| them, to the honest creditor. n What would
binder the debtor from defraudins his cred
itor? If some clause were put in prevent
ing that, he might vote for the ordinance,
but asiit stood he wonldsoplSose it. ,aoiis

Mr.. Bradley said he was opposed to the
whole matter, 1t was a farce and humbug.
Mr.. Gambler said he was opposed to legis-
ation.
MIR. Ellis said he understood the whole
matter to be unconsti.utlonal-the Conven-
ton had no right to deal with it. -.-
| Mr. Harris of Wake said he was in favor
of relief, but understood this ordinance and
amendment to be untnctured of Reputation.
Mr. Hood said that under instructions he
would vote against anything imparing the
obligations of contracts.
Mr.. Mcdonald of Chatham, said the Su-
| preme Court and not this Convention had
| the right to construe the Constitution.
Mr.. Rich said he was sheriff of Pitt and
personally interested. He asked to be exeu-
sed. Fsl iaa' 1fHn a'2'a y" -' ~
Mr.. Watts said he favored relief as much
as anv man, but fearing this amendment
would ieoparelize the ordinance he voted no.
Mr.. Williams of Sampson favored relief
but it was not in the power OF the COnven-
ton to impair the obligations Of contracts.
The question required on Mr. Rodman's
| amendment, when .'t.t
Mr.. Pool offered an amendment, which
was accepted and then stricken out by the
Convention.
Mr.. Jones, of Washington, said if passed
this ordinance would make the law farce
| A creditor, could incur the costs of suit
and obtain judgment, but then would not
be..permitted to move it at all. Executions in
| North Carolina control from the teste, when
issued and levy made, but in this instance
no creditor will be permitted to move his
judgment after the costs of the suit are in
Cured and it is obtained Besides the debt
or could make arrangements to defraud him;
or the judgement becoming dormant some
other person sue and the last take prece-
dence., Why did not the ordinance provide
for the perpetuation of the lien? Under its,
operations the law becomes farce And
this is done too under the cry of paupers
shylocks. No man in the counties IN which
he practiced had been sold out for old debts
He called attention to that fact also.
Mr.. Tourgee moved to lay the ordinance
on the table. -.' .,'t5.- J. i'ti -.-ss
