Messrs. Bowman and Justice, of Ruther-

put to the House and lost.
Mr. Bowman moved to amend the first
section "of the qualification and general
duties of clerks of the superior courts" by
striking out all after the word law in line
Is. Carried.
Mr. Bowman also moved to amend first
section by striking out & a bond with sufficl-
ent sureties to be approved by them IN
penalty of ten thousand dollars" and insert
| "a; bond with sufficient security as now re-
| CURED by law" Agreed to.
Mr.. Bowman moved to strike out in sec
| ton the words 'he shall be furnished
with the requisite stationery and furniture
! for office use by the county commissioners,
| except as hereinafter provided"
| Mr. Bowman urged the amendment, be-
cause the section as it stood made it obliga-
tory on the counties to furnish the superior
court clerks with stationery, which ought
not to be done. The old system made it the
duty of the clerks to supply their own sta
tionery, and he believed it unnecessary to
change the former custom.
| Mr.. Downing said because custom was
old, was no reason that it should be con-
tinued. He thought the clerks ought to be
furnished with stationery, and he should vote
against the amendment.
Mr.. Pou concurred with the views of the
gentleman from Union, QIr. Downing -
The only possible objection to his mind was,
the liability of abuse of the privilege granted
to the clerks.
Mr.. Bowman said the clerks used printed
blanks, and their fees justified them in fur
nishing all needed stationery.
Mr.. Gambler SAID the office of SUPERB
or Court clerk was one Of the most profita-
BILE of any county office in the State, and he
thought it nothing but just and proper that
the clerks should furnish their own station
cry.
Mr. Stilley said the words 'except herein
after provided might obviate the difficulty,
and hoped the amendment would be with
drawn, in order that there might be seen what
provisions on the subject the bill contained
Mr.. Bowman refused to withdraw the
amendment, when Mr.. Davis expressed a
few remarks in advocacy of the same.
The amendment was then adopted, and
the bill passed its second reading.
Mr.. Foster, by leave, introduced bill to
paw magistrates for services in civil cases.
Allows fee of 80 cents for each warrant is
sued.
Mr.. Foster said in his County magistrate
had been detained four days in the trial of
causes, and had received no pay for his ser
vices He thought magistrates ought to be
paid for services rendered in such cases, and
he therefore moved suspension of the rules
in order that the bill might be Immediately
acted on. Carried
Mr.. Argo said according to the law, the
magistrates had no right to try criminal
causes, but in such cases could only bind ovel
to the courts.
Mr.. Stilley said the bill was an important
one. He deprecated the disposition mani
tested so often to suspend the rules. He had
no objection to paying magistrates or othel
officers, when it WAS proper to do go; bu
this race-horsc legislation would result in in
complete bills, and he would move tia
the bill be referred to the committee OF
salaries and fees.
After some further discussion, the bill wa:
50 referred.
