Trurspay, Mar 8.

Bur to Reecvare tuk Sare oF Porsons.—lHon. Mr. WHELAN rose and moved the suspension of the Order ex- cluding the introduction of new matter, in order that he might have leave to in- troduce a Bill to reynlate the sale of Poisons. The honorable tember said, he had been induced to turn his attention to the question, by the frequency of coin- plaints, from individaals resident in dul- ferent parts of the country, who. had valuable dogs destroyed by poisoned meats, Which had been exposed for the purpose of destroying fuxes fur the sake of their furs. ‘This mode of killing foxes had he said, been very commpn, of late, throughout the Island; and the poison used tor the purpose was one of tee mosi sibule and deadly known :o modern chemists. The practice, therefore, was a very dangerous one: and there can be no dowbi, that it wes the duty of the Le- vislature to interfere, with a view to the protection of the lives of valuable dumes- tic animals, wlich were endangered by it. Ife had the Billin his hands for some time, but had pot before been able to find a suitable Opportunity for its introduction ; aud, at that late period of the Session, lie wou'd not have twoved in the matter, were it pot one Which was not at all dikely to provoke digc1asion, as the necessity of the measure would, he imagined, be e@deut to all.

Mr. Crark and Mr. Twornron brief- ly opposed the motion, not as opposed to the Bill, but solely on account of the in convemence which would be caused to

of pew matter, end consequent prolonoa- tion of the Session,at atime when the | .bours of the season and the prosecution of thete private affairs, so imperatively de- manded their presence elsewhere.

‘he question being put oa the hon- orable member's motion, it passed in the negative.

‘The Appropriation Bill was introduced by the hon. Mr Jagpine;. read a_ first time and second time, and ordered to be read a third time to-morwew.

LAW BILL.

Hon Mk Wresan’s Barristers’ Bin. —TVhis bill having been read a second

whole House— The Hon. Mr Wueuan observed, that,

of the Legislature. In order, therefore, to meet the views of all honorable members in the Assembly, and to secure the pas- sage of the Bili inthe other end of the bulding, he had had a new clause prepar- ed, which he would move in amendment. ‘This clause was based upon the recipro- city principle, and went to provide, that in all cases where the Supreme Courts of the ether Provinees were opened to the admission of Barristers and Attornys from this Island, on appheation being made for such admission, then that the Supreme Court of this Island should be opened to the admission of Barristers and Attorneys from such other Provinces, and that they might enjoy all the privileges now enjoyed by members of the Bar of this Colony, without being subjected toa twelvemonth's apprenticeship,as the present Jaw requires. This was an amedm mt which he thought uo honorable member could object to, as it was founded upoda just and equitable principle.

The clause was then read and egreed to without any discussion,

tion. Me Whesasn said, that the se- cond clanse of the Bill wasalmost a literal copy of an Act lately passed by the Legi:~ lature of Nova Scotia; and went to extend the privilege of pleading in our Courts to any of Her Majesty’s subjects, as well for others as for themselves, the only condi- tion annexed to such a privilege being, thatthe person seeking to emoy it, shall be duly qualified to vote fora Member of the Aesembly. At the present he (hon. Mr. Whelan) was aware, that any person had theeright of pleading in the Coarts for hinself, but, be thought the House might sufely go further, and allow liymen to plead for others. It was true that this principle met with a good deal of opposi- tion, when it was discussed in the Nova Scotia Legislature ; but its adoption had cot been found, so far, to work to the dis- advantage either of the profession, or of any other class of the inhabitants of that Province; and he had noe doubt, that, in lecourse of time, it would be found jo be of'material benefit.

MrWuicutman said that this Colony was far differently situated from Nova Scotia. ‘There the Bill in question had been intro- duced by the Hon. Provincial Secretary, a pventlemen of great ability, and coropetent ty practise the profession: and the Billwas, in all likelyhood, imtredueed by him with ihe view of practising the profession. Here, however. underthe operation of the clause just read, persons might be admuiited to plead at the ar, without standing or cha- racter, Whose only recommendation would be effrontery and impudence. > He would have no ebjection to persons, pleading for themse!ves ; but he was apprehensive that ihe: public might, in some cases, be led astray by having their cases comrniited to the hands of jedividuals uaskillied: in the | laws. tle was aware that persons of thal desenption might be found ready enough to jake up cases, and, in his own neigit- bourheed, such inlividusls were pet walt. ing to assume sueh audacity: that being tue ouly objection he hid to the prinetple ot the Bill.
