. Tnuasnn’, February 1f.

House in Committee on the Small Debt Bill— Mr. Hudson iii the Chair.

On the clause for placnig the Commissioners on a fixed salary' being read— M r. RAE considered it the 719 plus ultra of economical legislation to paviweiuy or thirty commissioners for domg nothing! Some Cltmlnl>rinncrs get no employment, because the people have no conlideoce in their judgment. And are they to be paid as Well as those who have all the trouble oftlic office?

Some commissioners have no employment: why pay them then for doing nothing?

held? For his part, he could not see those objections which other members concen'ed iliey saw to holding the Court in a Tavern; especially since so many of us have become temperate ;he saw no inconvenience that would arise from it; in fact, be thought the present clause would be casting s. reflection on the magis- :raie.~‘. - Mr. SPEAKER would support the clause. When he first came to the country the Courts were held in grog shops. and he was an eye-Witness to several disgraceful scenes of riotousness and drunkenness. and in those places, it often happens that persons spend more than would pay the debts sued for twice over; there- fore he was ofopinion a penal clause was necessary to prevent such disgraceful occurrences. He did not doubt the hospitable disposition of some magistrates. but then. as it was a voluntary act on their part. and as ihey would obtain a name for generosity and kindness thereby, be thought them sufficiently remunerated.

I\lr. PALMER agreed that it was very proper l0 prevent the oc- currence of drunkenness at the Courts. but he had seen Taverns conducted in a Very orderly manner; he would prefer giving the magistrates power to preserve decorum, and to discountenance persons and places of ill report. . . Mr. Dousr: wuuld isuppoit the clause. He knew it would be impossible for the magistrates to preserve order, ifihe Courts were held in public houses; he had heard of so much drunken— ness. abuse and false swearing. and every species of immorality, that it was impossible to conduct busineSS in them as it should

He thought it would be casting a reflection on those who ditl theirtluly Well, to he pill on an equal footing with those who do it not; and this would be the case if a fixed salary were adopted. Place pefSO'lS of independent principle: in the office, and they Won’t abuse it. 116 would agree to paying the clerks a. salary, but would up. pose any salary for the Comiiiisquners.

Mr. SPEAKER thought it a novel mole of reasoning, to suppose that a Commissioner with a fixed'salarr, would not do his Lllll_\’ as well as without such a provision. 0n the contrary, he thought that as mankind are greatly swayed bv avarice. the paying of the Commissioners would be the best method to remove those in. tluceineiils to promote litigation so often complained of. It was nothing to the coiiimissiouer, whether he had two or more cases to try;.his time was equally employed. Besides, when paid. he would likclv come into Court unprejudit‘ed by the merits of the ca~e, as he would know nothing about it. prior to his being called

llon. J. S. Ill-DONALD was of opinion that the better way would be to leave it to the good sense of the magistrates to choose the place for l’ltlltllnfl their Courts. Perhaps a Tavern in some in- stances would, from ilsceultal situation. be the most convenient place to ho‘d their meeting; he Would therefore leave the chaice to their own discretion. On a division, the clause was struck out.

Mr. THORNTON introduced a clause, to empower Commis-
