70 Pensionlng Judges. Gj, an act in relation
rs resignation of judges OF the supreme court, was 4
az ported upon uvorably by Mr.. Filled of M0ntpeli
ior the com. ON the judiciary. The bill prOvid
i'd that a judge who has served twenty CONSECUTIVE
III years ana is seventy years Old, may resign and
I'LL cure an annual pension for life of 81 ,25O.
Mr Flneld Of Montpelier ecomneuded the bi
ate He explained that IT was for the relief of the CHI
ma justice VINO had served the state faithfully Il
on twenty-thIee years and poor aud feeble
,cn ,ne health The conditions presented by the bill we
~ so extraordinary that Its application would sure
Div occur.
Mr. IIinckley of Chelsea said that he WIS in fav
l.. of pensioning every judge who had served ON I
M M bench twenty consecutive wears, and he NOV
that the bill be amended by striking ont the seven
years OF age condition. These provisions won
lU7, be very lew in number and would impose Il We
ing slight tax upon the state.
MIR. Spear of BramtrCe said that he was oppos
to pensions on principle; but out OF respect to t
chief justice he should vote for this bill a. it caI
from the com. He opposed Mr. Hmckley's amen
IL, ment, however. The state officers were paid sa
nh res large enough they ought to be able to ret
Ion with a competence.
as MIR. Whitney of Franklin opposed the amen
ect menr, but he said he should vote for the b
az Amendment lost
a m Mr.. Priest of Barre advocated the bill, and 81
ra the requirements which the bill prescribed IN
aid that judge might have pension, We're so lema
ath able that they would hardly ever be possessed b
the man Pensions would rarely be enjoyed, and
.uo case the bill was male 10 particularly apply
,om Ayas a most merltOIous one. The venerable ch
eas justice richly deserved all the state could do
him.
lon Mr. Turner OF Doyer opposed pension bills
nii principle but he was vii ing to gave Judge ri
o' point enough to support hlm through lile. The
ur- was read a third time
ON Messrs. Page of Rutland, Hooker of BrattlebC
bit, and Hnckley OF Chelsea advocated the passage
'lVV the bill.
