MILITIA REPORT.

Hon. Mr. Lord, by command, presented” to

the House the report of the Inspecting Field

Officer of Militia for the past year, and also

the estimates for the current year. —Read and laid on the table,

Hon Mr. Dinawett: As some allusion is

‘ 7

/made in the report to the people of King’s

County not having taken any steps to place themselves in a state of defence by organizing

| Volunteer Companies, { would merely say i that it is not for want of loyalty on their part,

but it is probably because they do not under- stand how it is that the arms are sometimes given out to the companies and at other times they are called in, a0 that persone living ata distance in the country, and not fully under- standing the cause, are rather perplexed. This keeps persons from organizing or} ining the companies, and J regret it, for I eve that ahout £3,000 are expended in Queen's County, and it must be a great benefit to the people. I du not know if it would be oon- sidered a reflection upon King’s County not to revgive so much money. As it ie a large experditire, | would also lige to ask if the vouchers will be laid before as.

Hoc. Mr. Lorp: Asa member of the Go- vernment, [ have no objections that the vouch- era should be laid before the House; indeed I think it would be quite proper that they should, but it rests entirely with the Coim- maoder-ia-Chief.

CLASSIFIED ACCOUNTS.

Hlon. Mr. Haythorne, by command of His Excellency, laid before th® douse a copy of the Government Clase:fied Accounts for the year 1865.

JAIL LIMITS BILL (second reading.)

A Bill to revive, continue and amend an act relating to limite aod rules of jails was read a secoud time and committed—Hon. Mr. McDonald in the Chair.

Hon. Mr. Dincwett: I do not think the Act operates fairly. A person in town is not subjected to much inconvenience by being placed upon the limits; but wien a person from the country 1 placed upon the limite he is tuken from his home, his family and bis occupation. [tis no punishment to a man in town, bat toa man from the country it is. Therefore | think there should be some dis- tinotioa

Hon. Mr. Gorpon: [ would like to call the attention of your honors to a partof this Act, which I have always gonsidered a hard- ship; that is, when @ person is placed upun the limits, he may be employed in shipyards, aod he is bound not to go beyond high water mark. Now it is known that ships are some- times built on blecks or butments which ex- tend below high water mark. Thus it places those men ia a difficult position, tor some- times they are allowed to work upon one half of aship and not on the other. [ merely call your honors’ attention to it so that it may be amended if it oan be consistently dune.

Hon. Mr. Loan: It is an important sub- ject ; and [ have been of opinion that it is time to allow that Act to expire. shouid have @ good sound bankrupt court established m this Island. [ have no desire to have men crammed into jail and then let out upon the limite. They have iu bankrupt court in Canada, and they are now passing a law to establish one in Nova Seotia. There is nothing fairer or more honest than a good bankrupt law, and | do not see why we should not have one in this Island. This insolvent debdtore’ act 1 eunsider a mere encouragement to dishonesty, if a man is Jikely to vecome involved he makes over his property to hie friends,and then his creditors cannot toach it. I think the law should be euch that if a man should attempt to du anything of that kind he would be lable to imprisonment and hie property fairly digtributed among his creditors.
