' Remarks of Mr. J. A. Hill, ot iNew-
itanover.1 on the question indefinitely
to DostDone the resolution iniroauceu
in the House of Commons, bV Mr. Als
ton, of "Halifax, , to repeal the act pt
.. .. . . j
181 S, establishing the bupreme Court.
If the success of this motion depended sole
ly upon my 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 ptif State, 1 do believe, Sir, that
the matpiitude of the subject, compared with'
the imperfect means of securing" that object, !
would . keep me silent, however powerfully j
prompted both byyincfination and-duty," td :
utter, my sentiment s. Happily howe ver, this ;
i not the case a question; so interesting wilt
not tail to elicit tne talents or gentlemen, oi ;
much more experience and far greater extent
of infQmiation than myself, on tins as up.
on all other subjects. . 1 approach the ques
uon .uiereiore,. unnoui apprenension as a
failure on rav part can have no effect upon its
decision.
WJiat, Mr. Speaker, were the' motives
which led. to, and wliat wjjs the object
contemplated in the erection of the present
Supreme Court ? - That tribunal was; as I un
derstand, instituted because your system was
imperfect because the admiristrstion of jus
tice was defective,1 becatrse what was de'clar
ed to. be the law of the land to-day, by. one
Judge,, mitfht to morrow, be reversed by the
decision of another," because, .Sir, the suitor,
who embarked in yoiii Courts to ascertain his
rihtSi launched his boat, not upon that steady
stream of justice which flows ' like the Pro
pontic to the Hellespont without ret irin ebb,?
but upon a moral ocean of uncertainly and
doubt, to be wafted in this , direction that
as the winds of caprice, or opinion blow
at one time from this, and at another from
that point of; the compass. To bring order
out of this 'chaos of confusion, to ascertain the
laws, to givp that feeling-of xofidence. and
security to men in the ehjoymet "of their pro
perty, so essential to their individual happi
ness, and so ncceasary to the peace of socie
ty, was that tribunal erected, which we are
here called upon to destroy,
If it be thought Mr. Speaker, that I have
given an exaggerated account of the yCohdi
tion of our Judiciary anterior to the establish
ment f the Supreme Court, j appeal to ( the
experience of .those gentlemen, who in their
professional pursuits have had occasion to ex
amine the Reports of the old Court of Confer
ence, and I ask theni if there be an bsurdiy
in law for vhi9h precedent and authority may
not; be f found in (its decisions ;T ask theni
if the most , opposite , and contrary , . doc
trines are notlncul atediivthe pages of those
volumes which record its proceedings ? They
will answer, nil tlnaud mere: . They will
tell, Sir, tliat I have drawn but a faint aiKl fee
ble outline of the ti4 th., 1 am far, Mr; Speak
er, from intending any tiling injurious to tne
gen'lemen who at difterent times composed
that Court. It was the fault of the syscm and
not of the wicti it waS the fault of that parsi
mony wluch to save salaries imposed upon
your judges duties sufficient to crush a Her
culesduties which no man who had not lie
frame of a Giant ot the intellect of a GW could,
adequately perform. . The taw, 5 ir, is a com
plex science, and though founded upon gen
eral principles and established maxims is yet
full of subtletiesatid of nice distinctions. To
apply these principles properly to practice
to solve tnese jnysienes ana 10. tustin
gmsh a-nidsr these minute cliflTei ence, t&,
quires Unremitting a'p plica tyni and profpurfd
study. The law. Sir, is also a progressive
science : it h..s iio point of perfection no
man may remain stationafy.. in, it, he must ad
vaace or I'Vli'ogade he must move with the
profession,' passibus xquis, or be left in the
distance. Are the Judges of your CourtSjal
lo wed the necessary time for study, and re
flection r it will;not be pretendetl, and yet;
sir, if this pernicious resolution prevails, must
we be content to receive their hast v, crude,
and ill digested opinions, as the evidences of
the law ot the land. . - ' ' ' ; - 7

ine itesojuuon, uasianuast tne various otner
schemes which teem in his brain, and float in
wild confusion through InVmindY somepre

Notwithstanding, Mr. Speakej, the gentle

hend that his resolution threatens somethwg
