The principles of the bill | were already fairly contested when the peti tion to amend the law in question was before | the House, and also when the bill was in Committee on the second reading.

Mr. Cameron said he opposed the raising of the jurmdicuen of the Court from the first,

Hon. Mr. Haviland said that the exercise of constitutional Tights was not always ex- redient The opposition, if disposed to act on similar principles with the bon. member (Mr. Cumeron) might throw a good many obstacles in the way of Government measures, and impede the business of tie session.

Mr. Cameron said he had no desire to pro- voke unnecessary discussion, and when the moticn was made to pass ihe Bill, he merely wade a counter motion to it, upon wich a division might be taken without any renewal

Hon. Attorney General disapproved of the course pursued, and said that though he was

yet being unavoidably absent at the second readiiyg, be would not at that late stage offer any opposition to the Bull.

Hon Mr MeAuley.—It was preposterous to attempt to nullify the decision of the House by such an unusual procedure

Mr. MeMillan hoped that advantages such | as that now attempted on the Bill. would not! b taken by Untortunate Debtors against their Cred tors.

lion. Mr. Davies referred to the fact that some 700 Cavalry Ilorses were shortly to be | sold at St John, N.

He wished to know if the Stock Farm Coma.ittee had any intention of purchasny at the sale referred to.

Hon Mr Laird sid the Committee had no funds at their dieposal with wich to bay extra stock. and if they had, he quesuoned the jadiciousness ef dving so. The sale re- ferred to afforded a good opportunity for | private enterprise, to which the Government should leave the matter.
