Mr.. McWhorter for the Committee on
Revised Statutes reported on tht bill il
relation to the jurisdiction of tn jus
tees of the Peace in Wilmington. The
bill limited the jurisdiction Of the Jus

Mr.. Sharpley said he was opposei 10
the bill because 1t would interrupt the
course of civil process and cripple bust
ness. A party in Wilmington could
not sue man in the city who lived
outside of the circle of four miles while
one down in q lower hundred could
have 4 Wilmington man taken to the
lower part OF the county and then sue
him.

business and tina. the business it would
cripple was one OF the most infamous to

many Justices OF the Peace as it had
lawyers, and in order to live they had
70 send their cards through the county.

to sue farmer in Appoquinimmk,
Backbird, st. Georges or any of the
