A can to around the law relating to Trustees of

Estates wee reccivod and read.

Hon. Attorney General presented a Bill to amend the Act relating to the Prince of Wales College. which was received and read. aad ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

The amendments contemplated in said Act relate to the more efficient. management of that Institution. by giving the Principal. or lived Professor. a more direct sepcrtntcndcnce and control over the different depart- ments of leaning in that college. including the Grammar School in connection therewith. The said lioad Profes- sor to be responsible to the Trustees or Gomnors of the institution for the maintenance of order. the reg... lsritv of attendance on the part of Teachers. and the eminent instructions impartet in the various depart-ent- of said Collc o end Gran-tar School. The duty of the Principal or all Professor shall be to examine. ones a month. the scholars taught at the Grammar School. and quarterly. the students and scholars taught by the second Professor. and also to order the arrangement of classes in said Cells and Grammsr School. subject to theepprevalof the metres of idledflfl-ildiion. The Bill also provides rcr'two public snawinetieas of the students and scholars in all the departments connected with said College; one of said examinations to take place immediately before midsummer holidays, and the other at Christmas.

lion. Attorney General then remarked that there were other and more generach required in connec- tion with the Prince of Wales Ce loge; but it was not intended for the present to enter into detail. It appear- ed that the discipline of the institution was defective. hence the necooelty of the hill to amend the law relat— iag thereto. ' u

“on. Leader of the Government said th was high time to regulate the avetctu' upon which the College. but snore ea clallv the Grammar School to connection with the Coins. was conducted. The Ilester of that flehool was unable to itapart instruction to the whole school. ae-hering over seventy scholars. An assist- ant should therefore be ptovidod for. in order to the lore ellcieet working of the institution. At present it appears students from the Normal School are sent to assist in the Grammar School department; those Students. on receiving their license to teach. go to the country. and others unac ualnted. with the workin of thehehdolero a overaponioso the scholars. loch changes were w calculated to give sa- p n.

lien. M r. llaviland again explained the loading prin- ciples involvctl in said litll.

This Bill authorizes the taking of gold and silver coin. in execution. from a Debtor. and paying the some over to the Urudttur as money collected; and also that Govern-Ilium Debentures. Treasury Warrants and Notcs. liar-h Notes. etc.. too be taken In execution and paid to Creditor at par vs no. it' he will accept them. if not they shall be sold after giving two months notice of sale theon in the Loyal Gazelle newspaper. it provides that the necessary wearing apparel and bedding of the debtor and hie lentily. amt the tools or instruments of his trade or calling. and his last cow. shall be exempt- ed from execution. All distinctions relative to one: and being sued. as an Attorney. are by this iii abolished. it also re ulahea the order itt which. add dresses to Juries shat be dollVUI'vtl upon tho tristl 0 any cause. civil or criminal. by allowing the party or counsel who begins. in the event of hie opponent not announcing at the close of the role of the party who begin. his intention to atltlnce evadenco. l0 oddroll the Jury a second time at the close of such case. for the purpose of summing up the evidence; and the party or counsel on the opposite side shall be allowed to open the case and also to sum up the evidence. if any; the right to reply to be the same as at present.

Sevural clttuses ot‘ the Bill were read and agreed to without amendment. '

lien. Mr. Davies submitted a Resolution. to the cf- fcct that no person laying claim to the lands of any settler on this island in possession of such land. should be allowed. on any pretence. to summon or take pro- ceedings for tho a earaace of such settler a second time at Court. wtl the view of recovering rent or otherwise.

A long debate thcn ensued on the subject of said rc‘ solution.

“on. Mr. Device spoke of the hardships endured by parties who were dragged to (fun-t by pretended owners of lands. and thus kept from one term of Court to another. and indeed for years. in trouble and anxiety touching their lands. because of the neglect or lndtspos sition of l’lamlifl’s in such cases to have cases pcndtng brought to a final close. lie Instanced cases in point. showing that. alter many years of anxiety. advantagr bud bt-cn taken of list: nbecnce of defendants. who were frequently thna deprived of their lands. nofby the luir and e uitablc administration of justice. but because of the unjust manner in which judgments had been obtain- ed sgamst them in the Courts.

Mr. llowstt supported the Resolution submitted by the lion. Mr. Davies. and also remarked upon the great inconvenience and loss sustained by torrents not learn- ed in the law. and of limited means. to keeping up con- tinuous law suits against parties with whom money was no object. as long as they could ultimately succeed in

unfortunate victims of their lands. upon the cultivation of which they may have spent their best days. with the hope in their declining years of leaving to their children the enjoymcnt of their hard labor. Some law should he enacted to put a stop to such endless. unjust and vexe- tious lawsuits.

"on. Mr Laird—4t was ltighl improper to continue any principle at law that enable the crafty Plaintiff to summon over and over again the poor defendant. until 3 last, perchsnce. ltc secures the judgment of the

curl.

Mr. hit-Neill instanccd the man of Winsloc against Dotrent. and remarked upon the peculiar hardship on- dured by the defendant in that case. in proof of the evil consequences resulting from the mode of postpon- ing suite. from year to year. which. in the cave referred to. ended in the defendant. though he obtained judg- ment. having to pay all the costs of the whole suit. amounting to over the value of the farm. and thus kept constantly harassed by being deprived. from time to time. of tie hard earnings. to meet the payment of said mate. the final llf initiation of which he will never accom- plish. He. Mr. lcNeill. would like to ltnow why the property of the Plaintiff. in that case. was not made available for the payment of said costs. The Agent for the Land Commission stated in his report that. out or six of the bust Townships on the island. 40 per cent. only of tho Tenants could raise supplies on their farm to support their families without pay' rent. Was it 'theu to be wondered that attempts woo d be made to evade being served with write for the payment of rents. when such writs were said to be served by being thrown in at doors. and at night into houses through windows.

lion. Mr. llowlsn also referred to cases of cruel treatment from the continuous nature of cases pending in Court. Mr. Device was wantin in legal construction. it was the duty of host. members. earned in the law. to point out such errors. lle opposed the Bill in its first stage. and he would oppose it again.

ELECTORS 01" THE FOURTH DISTRICT OF KING'S COUNTY.

The Act is plain upon this point. The Presiding Olllcur can orgy put. one or me of tho oaths reocrib- ed in the Sch u o to the act. and not such out a no the following :--“ Will you swear that you got your certi- ficate within two months of the time you performed your Statute Labor.“ "Will you swear that you got no payment from )lr.-—-for permitting him to settle on your place for the winter !” What was this to his bttet- noos so long as the man held his lease and was willing to owner to Ill qualification. " Will you swear that the lendon which you vote was willed to on P" In what particular year of our Lord was see I an Act passed. requlrlng such an oath as this? i um um lose to know.

But 0 nest on is this: if the Sun‘s vote was had on account 0 exchang- ing terms with the father. then the father‘s vote was oquall bad. But the son‘s is exnungcd ; and the fathers is recorded. How can this be accounted for! Very eually—The fatlter voted for Henderson and Prowse. the son for Rowe and Fletcher. Another man‘s vote was refused to be taken because it was al- leged that he was insane. when it ts well known that the same man seed more practical good scn so and honesty than the creature who refined to take it.
