THE THIRD CIRCUIT.
Mr. CAVE, by leave of the Senate, offered a resolution reciting that the bill [H. R. 257] changing Third Judicial Circuit, passed the Senate under a misapprehension of facts, and recalling the same from the Governor. He said the bill was passed without giving him any opportunity to examine it. The result of the bill was to page: 328[View Page 328]leave Pike and Dubois counties out of all Judicial Circuits, out in the cold, in fact.
Mr. WILLIAMS also had no opportunity to examine the bill before its passage.
Mr. GOODING resisted the adoption of the resolution and contended that the bill can do no harm as it is a temporary thing, and as it is proposed to revise the judicial system of the State at the regular session, and there will be no court in the gentleman's county for six months to come.
Mr. CAVE understood the object of this bill to be to legislate Judge Laird out of the district.
Mr. DWIGGINS moved to lay the resolution on the table.
The motion was agreed to--yeas, 22; nays, 18.
