Mr.. RARRow regarded the resolution rs a
proposition substantially displacing the Code

/ Code was imperfect, and that the Commissioners
| could not perfect it. He moved that Its consid-
Grafton be postponed until tomorrow IL o clock.

Senate had decided to consider it under sus-
pension ofthe rules i5sitte
Mr. OSBORNE denied that the adoption of the

| Mr.. RICH opposed the resolution. The Code
commission was appointed to get up the Code,
and he was opposed TO interfering with them in

trust committed to their hands, let others be SUBJ

| defer to their judgment in the wcighty matters
| confided to their trust.
I Mr.. GRAHAM said there were some changes
that were absolutely necessary to be made in the

suit, &c. He hoped the resolution would be
adopted.
Mr. REspAss said the evils complained of
! could be remedied without resorting to the
course proposed This body was always ready
Code. He regarded the proposed movement as
an effort of the opposition. They were constantly
striking at the Code, saying it was mere copy
of that OF the State of New York, and all that
| sort of thing If they lave any amendments to
offer to b tier the Code, let them be brought
forwarded. He moved to lay the whole matter
