To me Honorable Speaker and Members o! the
House of Representatives,
your Committee on judiciary have had
under consideration House bull No. %, " an
act TO amend and %re-enact act No. rela-
tive to establishing an additional district
court" ETC., and report untayorably.
The so called bill 10 not in legislative
form. 1t is, in fact, only the title OF d bill.
and its passage as offered would subject the
House TO ridiCuleo
1t is in some of its parts a private bill! tor
the advantage OF certain individuals.
though prOfessedly for a pubic object.
Il provides that before suits can be re-
moved from the detunct counts all costs
have to be paid to the eX-cIerks. .
These ex clerks have the benefit OF pre-
viOusly existing laws in their favor Tor the
collection of their dues. Ii the party now
liable for the costs should wish to transfer.
he should undoubtedly be required 10 pay.
But if a party not as yet liable should Gee
sire to hasten proceedings for the purpose
of getting out of litigation. it would be a
grea, injustice TO make him pay back costs.
Under a proper transfer act the ex-clerks
could themselves transfer the cases and
take proceedings to secure their costs.
AS far as the bill contains public objects
on which legislation is necessary your COM
mittee. but for the haste with which re
port was ordered yesterday, giving the
committee only till one o'clock To-Day
would have submitted a redrafted bill as a
substitute which would cover all necessary
public objects. We DO no; acknowledge.
however. any duty on the part OF the com
mittee to redraft badly conceived leglsla-
ton, or perform clerical service ZOE the
authors of bills.
As the matter stands. no course is left to
your cOmIRittee but to recommend the re
faction Of the bill.
