cused OF voting for appropriations. He had
concluded to oppose ali which seemed to him
unnecessary appropriations, but he did not look
upon this in that light. He argued in favor
OF the bill without the amendmcnt-that the
laborer is worthy of his hire. He believed
the poor man should have on the bench, to
look out for his interests, the best of taleft
and in order to get that talent renumerating
salaries must be paid. Mr.. Hume continued
further in support of the BILL
Mr.. ToBEY, as general rule, was opposed
to the increase of salaries, but he was to-day
opposed to the amendment offered by the
member from Bucksport. He opposed it on
the ground that it does away with the equal
ization of these salaries. He considered the
proposition offered in the bill merely in its
effect to be an equalization of salaries between
these judges. 1t had been said here that
some of them are at home, and consequently
at no extra expense in consequence of at
tending to their duties, while others attending
court at a distance, are subjected to great ex-
pense and it was patent TO him that the bill is
to equalize and not to increase the salaries.
He hoped the House would not be frightened
about the bill because got up by the Judiciary
Committee. There is no danger of the peo-
pie being defrauded, as the expenses named
in the bill, are to be submitted to the Gov
ernor and Council. He opposed the amend
ment and went most cordially for the bill.
The amendment was rejected by 36 yeas
and 43 nays.
Mr.. Kinks moved to amend so that the ex-
penscs shall not exceed $500 each per year,
and advocated his amendment.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. BRADFORD accepted the amendment.
