Mr. Settle, who had introduced this bill, safd, it was his wish to relieve the' Iegislature from the. trouble of legislating upon a subject which he thought could be , better managed by the county courts, who might be safely trusted with it, and where he had no doubt it would be prop erly used. 'V;' 'V" . . ' .". .'' '; Several amendments, were proposed to the till, some of, which were adopted, and others, which, f ir is presumed, were offer ed with a view of ilestrbying.it, "were re jected. One of these proposed that the tax upon gates thus erected, should not be less than 810. This was pioposed by Mr. S'lepterd, who thought the Legislature ought to be cautious in placing a power of this kind irvthe cnuntv courts, which misrht be Great ly abused If this bdl parsed, he expected we .hould saonbave gates on roads here, and there. anu cTcry, wncrc. uueN persons Know tney can obtain leave to erect Gates by a mere api plication to the county court, on paying a-light tax, the convenience of the community in trav elling would be much impeded by their number. Everyobstruction to travelling on a public road, he said, was a nuisance." He had voted in favor of erecting ; Gates in special cases ; but if the applications were to become numerous, he should vote against them. If this bill should pass, he hoped a heavy tax would be laid upon all. Gates erected in this way. ' Mr. i. Moore' hoped this amendment-would not be agreed to; tor if it were, it would go to defeat the object of the bill. It was t&e intend tion of the gentleman from Rockingham to take this kind of business out of the hands of the Le gislature, which consumed much of their time, at, a great expense to the State, and place it in me. hands ot tne county court, where it Mould, be much better managed ; jfor here we act without knowledge bn the subject. What, said he, Mr.? Speaker, do I know of the roads in jrour part of the country ; or What do you know of those in mine ? A proposition co.nes to this House to erect a Gate on a certain road ; it is stated it will not put the, public to much incon venience. We have no evidence on the subject, and without knowing any thing about the advis ability ot the measure, the bul is passed. By taking this subject from "the Legislature, you will cure the evil and place the power where it, will be faithfully exercised with a full know ledge of the conreniencies and inconveniencies that will'i: attend every application. For whate ver may be said about our Justices of the Peace, they , are deserving of respect ; on them V lies three-fourths of the public business of the coun try, which they transact' without. fee or, reward ; they are a set of virtuous, hseful men, let who will say tp the contrary. Why, then, throw ph st ructions in the way of this .bill If it be unfit to grant this power to the county courts, at once say so, and reject fhe bill - but if we pass the bill, let us do nothing that will clog or injure its benehGial operation. These courts will be better able to apportion the tax to the importance of the con venience of every gate erected than we can,'and he was for leaving them full liberty to do so. He hoped,' therefore the . proposed amendment would be rejected. The amendment was rejected, and the bill passed its second reading. - Mr. Swain, agreeably to previous notice, called up for consideration, the Report on a petition of certain persons jn Burke and Buncombe counties, who prayed to be e- rected into a new county, ' owing to their remote situation from their respective Court Houses' The committee reported against granting the prayer of the petitioners. Mr Swain made a strongand eloquent appeal to' tlie House in favor of the petitioners 5 but hist ehbrts.didnot succeed in obtaining a refusal to concur with the.
