A number'of Bills were read the se cond time and passed. . , L Remarks of Mr. J.. A. JIill, of New Hanover, i n the question indefinitely to f postpone the resolntibh introduced in the House of Commons, hy Mr. Als ton, of Halifax, ti repeal theact of 1818, establishing the Supreme Court: If the success of this motion depended sole ly upon fny efforts if my feeble abilities were alone relied on to avert this blow aimed at the existence' of one of the most valuable institutions of our State, I do believe, Sir; that the; matpiitude ofjthe subject 'compared with the' imperfect means of securing that object, would keep me silent; however powerfully prompted both by inclination 'and 'duty, to utter niy sentiments' Happilyhowever, this is not the case 'a question so interesting-will not fail to elicit the t -dents of gentlemen, of much more experience and far greater extent of information -than myself," on this as up on nil other subjects. ; I approach the ques tion therefore, with ut apprehension, as a failure on ,my part can have no effect upon its decision. . ' What, Mr. : Speaker, were the motives wliich I-d to, and wh.t was "'the object 'contemplated in the erection' of the present Suprem Court ? That tribunal was, as I un d t stand, ins itut d because.yotir system was imperfect, because the adm'iSstrstion of jds tjee whs def-ctive, because what .was decfar led to be the law of the Jand tt-dayt by one Jude, might to morrow be reversed by the decision of an. ther, because, Sir, the suitor who embarked in your Courts to ascertain his rights, launched his boat, not upon' that steady stream of justice which flows like the Fro pontic to the Hellespont without retiring- eb'., but upon a moral ocean of uncertainty and doubt, to be wafted in this direction or that as the winds bt caprice or opinion blow' at one time from this,' and at another from that poi 't : of the compass. To bring order out ofthis chaos of confusion, o ascertain the law s; to give that feeling; of cofidence nd security to men in the enjoymet of their pro perty, so essential to heir individual happi ness, and so necessary to the peace o! socie ty, was that tri-ninal erected, which we are iiere called upon tciidesiroy. ! If it be thougtit, Mr. Speaker, that -I have gi've !! an exag-g raited account! of the. condi tion of our hukciarv antert r to the establish 'nient of the Supreme tourt, 1 appeal to thej experience ot thosf gentl'.menj who in thefr protVss-f nal pursuits hae had occasion to ex aiiMiie the Reports of the oid Court of Confer ence, and I ask them if there 'hie -an absurdity in law for which precedent and 'authority may hot be . fotjnd in its decisions. I ask ttiem if the most opposite and contrary iV c trines are not inciil aU'd iu tlie:pags of those: volume s which recoixl its pncec dihgs i They wilt answer all this a;,d mor'-. I'ney wid tell, Sir, that I have drawn but a faint and fee rde outline of the truth. I am far, Mr. speak er; from intending ny thing injurious to thle gx-nlemen who at different times composed ttiat Court. ' It was 'Uk. faolt f the sys em and not of the ii it was the fault of that parsi mony which to. sxYv salaries, ifiiposed' upon yoir judges duties sufficient to crush a Hr-. cules duties whicli no man who had' not the cuies duties wnicn no man who had not the "V"w,.-"yff-- "o frame of a liiant or the intellect of a Gorcoulf W1 J not be compelled to seek a remedy adequately perform. ' The law,1 Sir, is a com plex scu nee, and though, founded upon gen eral principles and established maxims is yet full of subtleties and. of ntee distinctions. -To apply these. principles properly- to practice r to S" ive these "niyste.K a aiUl to -..istin-guish a nick thee minjite; diffeience', re quires ir-emitting,appl. cation and p:ofound atttdy."

Sir, t the pnrt of, a Cerbe rus to tlie Treasury,' is a popular part, and therefore there Jare many willing to play it. But I can inform those gentlemen who think that the laying a 'dollar to, the public ciiest. is the fiist anj the last duty of a legislator that your Supreme Court every, year saves tnousanas tc tneir consxituenis. . .jiigaiion must of necessity diminish as, the laws.jicquire certainty.

The profession " will again flourish-r-fees will again flow; in upon its, members in a rich and fertilizing streaml We do net therefore, pay too dearly for the advantages we derive from this Court ; nor could we sir, 'expect to re ceive the same benefits at -a" leks expense. To make your ' ourt respectable. ?vto, secure to lit the confidence or the people ; to give weight and authority to its d scussions you must adorn its bench with the first talents of the profi-ssion, to induce gentlemen to aban don a htcrative practice, you must attach to the office of Judge a liberal salary. No man will be prevailed on to witlnlraw from a pr -fitable pursuit by the mere offer of distincti on The dignities of the station will not give bread to his children, nor wilt he nor ought he to b e influenced, bv a feelihs of oride or of patriotism to the injury of , his family. The salaries at jresent allowed to yotir Judges are certainly liberal, they, are however,- not more than a fair compensation," and are actu ally less than the sums which many , gentle men df rive frnm their piactice -tthe Bar. IvotwithstandinMr. speaker, the gentle man from Hah .nx has struck nis blow fairly and openly afthe Court, I cannot but appre hend that his resolution threatens sornethiBg more than meets the eye. This, sir, is truly angeof wonders. . It. is the ge of Experi ment and of, disc-) very and whilst the Phi losophers of other v tates and of other .oun tries, have bey engaged in exploring the fiehisof moral and physical science, the gen Jlcman frm H difax has not been idle."' He may riot, sir, have attempted, like the Natu ralist celebrated by Pindar, to ascertain by experiment in what precise degree of affini ty a certain insect stands' related to the lob s'ter Norhas he, sir, to my knowledge, en deavored, wth the Philosopher t)f Laputa, to extract sunbeams from . cucumbers. But he his been engaged in pursuit equally in eresting arid equally profound. The rywft of his learned researches, is a. discovery that the world has been in error eyer since meri first be ;an to'collect into small 'communities, into families and tribes. He has fuiuitl out that toeiety may exist without tuvr. That the distinctions of meum and teum ; the rights of propertydid not grow out of social rela tions j and are nnt dependent on them, but upon ! thar standard of justice which nature has erected in the breast of every man. As a philanthropist, he is loubtless anxious to af1 f-'T i t;s the full benefit of h:s learned labours He would free us from the unnecessary re-' straintS of law, by reducing his theory to practice.' It is not, therefore, sir, unfair n inferj that this blow will be" followed by ano-t ther anl another, that it is but the first ob ject ina long perspective of contemplated changes. Your Su remj t ourt destroyed, your inferior tribunals maybe renioved Wip less . difficu.ty, because no man will think. hem j; worth defending. Thus sir, having broken down tlose guarrbi established by the constitution apd the laws to secure us in th? enjoyment of our property and our lives, the gentleman will have an 'opportunity. f intro duce; his favorite and celebrated system of universal arbitration. Under this wise scheriie he who feels himself acTieved by his neigh- in the dil ttjrv and expensive process of the. law he will have no occasion for the inter position of a- Jury sworn to decide accordiitg to evidence, and acting under the ur;neces sary restraints and idle and jealwts piecauti ons of the law. .
