THE ALEXANDER BILL.
When Mr. Carter's name was called
he asked to take up the bill providing
for paying Mr.. ii. ii. Alexander
ss24.l2 for services rendered the Com
monwealth in the trial Of the Cluyerius
case. The bill came up on its engross-
ment.
Mr.. Starke was in favor ofepgrossing
the bill.
Mr.. Dabney thought it dangerous
to adopt this precedent. If this bill be
paid by the State such services will be
used in all future criminal trials and
the Commonwealth will be called upon
to defray the expenses of the same.
Mr.. Mayo thought the bill just one
and would vote for it.
Mr.. Grimsley strongly advocated the
measure, thinking it just and commend
able. The trial had been expedited. he
contended, by the employment Of a
stenographer, and the expense Of the
trial had been greatly curtailed.
The vote being put the House refused
to engross the bill.

Waddill, A. Fulkerson, and Munford
