inSs in civil cases came back from the
committee with amendments. 1t was
warmly debated by Brown, Wells, Gray
and Bell, and the author, Mr.. Varian, re-
signed the chair to speak in its favor.
Gray held that the bill would impoverish
the merchants and enrich the lawyers.
Varian, in his speech, remarked that he
had taken the floor because he was not
disposed to be taught lessons in civil prac-
tice by men who were not lawyers, nor
was he disposed to listen in silence to innu-
endoes or reflections unjustly cast upon
his profession. He held that the clause
allowing merchants in other States the
same right to attach Nevada merchants for
debt was fair and just. II Nevada mer-
chants bought goods of San Francisco
houses they should be made to pay for
them and give the foreign creditor the
right as the domestic. Bell, Dovey,
Wells and Gray continued the debate.
Gray held that the San Francisco mer-
chants were Shylocks, and would under
the bill ruin every merchant in Nevada.
held that a law compelling mer-
chants in Nevada to pay their debts would
ruin them; the ooner they went to the
wall the better, to make room for another
Boskowitz held that the law would pre-
vent many men from doing business in
Nevada if they could be attached without
notice by San Francisco merchants.

chants to get more credit. !
