Bill to suspend the Code OF Civil froce-
dure in certain cases. Passed trst reading
Mr.. ROBBINS moved to suspend the ru'es
in order to take up the bill just read. II
was the relief bill.
Mr.. WINsTEAD said if he could be salts.
fed that the bill would bring relief to the
people he would vote for suspension OF
the rules. He did not, however, believe
that this bill would give the people any
more relief than they had already got.
Mr.. ROBBINS said if the people OF the
7th district had got relief it was more
than the people of any other district had
pot. There was great deal OF difference
in the ruling of the different Judges. He
believed Judge Tourgee had ruled according
to the spirit of this bill But this was not
the question We should consider this great
subject and if this bill was not exactly right
we should try to so amend it as to make 1t
good bill. II we considered this bill and
did not pass it, it would open the door to
other relief bills.
Mr.. OSBORNE considered that the bill did
give. the debtor some delay and was as IN
nocent bill to creditors as could be made.
1t might be inadequate to the wants OF the
people but it was all we could do He
! hoped the motion to suspend wonld prevail !;
some action should be taken in the matter
and that action promptly announced to the
people.

der to take up the bill prevailed and the
| bill was considered by sections.

section. Lost.

tion 0.
Mr.. HAYES offered substitute for the
section. Rejected.
Mr.. JONES of Columbus, favored the mo-
ten. He considered the section unconsti-
tutional as it impaired the obligation of con,
tracts, which was plain violation OF the
| Constitution of the United States. He was
! opposed to any more laws heing placed up
on the statute books of North Carolina which
! could not be enforced. He hoped the
| Legislature would not consume any more
| time in the passage of laws that were inef-
fcctual, as it was deception upon the peO-
pie of the State. But he favored any bill
! that would give the proper rcliet to the peo-
| pie of the State that they desired, expected
and needed. He was opposed to the pas
| sage of this bill for it would not effect the
object desired by the people.
MI GRAHAM's motion was defeated.
Mr.. BARNES moved to strike out sec
tion TO- Rejected. ....
Mr.. RICHARDSON wished TO say something
! concerning this bill. His people were for

people and wanted them to have the relief
ihey needed, but did not think it would be
afforded by this bill.
