at Auction, because of its being more satifactoiy to seller it
buyer,it betug a saving to the owner, while every dealt
has a tan chance to get it at its value, or let it alone, the
subscriber begs leave to say, that the whole of his time will
be devoted to the interest of the I’lauters sending their crops
to this warehouse; mid will attend particularly to the receiv
ing and having carefully put away, all that uiay he sent, either :
to himself or (lie Inspectors,for the usn.il Compensation. Th»ie I

and uo mud is found on the hogsheads, as thev are, tu damp 1

an individual interest in Vie inspection, and that the iu- .
spectoi s’ receipt, (which shall be sent in all cases) binds the

j ^RGUriA LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF DELEGATE'S?
CIRCUIT COURT HILL.
Speech of Mr. Cocke of Albemarle.
Mr. Speakkr,—If I consulted only tny own
feelings ou this occasion, I would gladly spare my
sell the ein’ arrnssraent, which one, unaccustomed
I to public yjieakiiig, cannot lail to experience in
I tiding to address a grave deliberative txxlv. Hut,
I the peculiar circumstances in which I am placed,
j hnpose it upon me ns a duty, to u*k the indulgence
of the House for a few moments, while I assign
the reasons that will govern the vote 1 am about
to give.
It is in; misfortune. Air. Speaker, to find my*
sell, on the question betore the House, directly at
issue w ith rny friend nnd colleague, from whose
opinions, on any subject, but especially on one
Ultimately connected with a profession of which
he is a member and an ornament, I cap never dis
?jent without distrusting the correctness of iny own.
Jointly representing the interests of the same peo
ple, it i; at all times desirable to me, to find a por
ted accordance of opinion between my colleague
and myself, but particularly so on a question like
that \ve arc now discussing, which, from the im
portant change it proposes to make in one of the
three great departments of the government, cannot
tiil to carry in its train much of good or of evil.
Believing that the practical operation of the con
templated change in our Judicial System would
be mischievous, and not salutary—and satisfied,
alter the most careful examination, that I have
heeti able to give to the subject, that we have no
authority under the Constitution, to make thi®
change—and ha\ing, moreover, as I l*cforc stated,
the misfortune to diUer with my worthy colleague
upon both ot these points—I ewe it to myself, and
to those whom I humbly represent on this floor, to
explain, and if I can, to justify the course I am a
u*;u* 10 ulKC.
Lntertaining a sincere deference ibr the judg
nient and legislative experience of mv friend, I
came to tlie examination of this subject with the
strongest pre-disposition to favor a measure which
I found him ready to support, with his accustomed
zeal ami ardor. But this examination has resulted,
not only in doubts as to the expediency of the bill
in vour hand—but in no doubt at all ns to its un
conxtitutionality. The same honesty of convic
tion, therefore, that calls upon my friend to lend
to this measure the powerful aid of liis eloquence,
will justify the humble opposition I find it my du
ty to offer.
T he question before the House, Mr. Speaker,
divides itself into two distinct propositions—first,
as to the expediency, and 2d, the constitutionality
of the proposed measure. If tlie billon your table,
involved only an enquiry into the policy of the
change it proposes to make in our Judicial Sys
tem, 1 should have labored with earnestness to
subdue my own objections to the scheme, and to
surrender myself to the guidance of those who,
from their particular course of study, and profes
sional familiarity with such subjects,aro best quali
fied to pronounce upon its probable practical re
sults. But even then, Mr. Speaker, judging of
the present by the past, tlie weight of authority
would be found'to favor my individual opinions—
for when a similar bill was on its passage through |
litis House, at the last Session, a very large ma- |
jorify of the gentlemen of the Bar,* if I am not
greatly mistaken, were found to record their votes
against it. This diversity of opinion among those
to whom we naturally look as our pilots through
the dilUcutics presented by the subject, leaves us
at liberty—nay, compels n«, to grope our way in
tiie best manner we can, through the surrounding
darkness—and will, I trust, be taken as a sufficient
excuse by the legal gentlemen of the House, for !
one, all unlearned in the law , venturing to express
his humble opinions ou a question intimately con
nected with their profession. Vet, Mr. Speaker,
sensible of the risk 1 encounter, of b-ing denoun
ced as an interloper, and aware of the tender
ground on which 1 tread, I shall hurry over it as
rapidly as possible, and endeavor to intrench my
self behind the impregnable barriers of the Con
stitution.
1 lie bill in your hand, proposes a most impor
tant, nay, a radical change in our Judicial System.
Not content with uniting the jurisdiction of two
separate Courts in the same individual—thus blend
ing two Courts in one—it also pro]>oses to convert
your Chancery into Circuit, instead of District
t ouits. In pronouncing upon the consequences
likely to grow out of the last mentioned of these
changes, we are fortunately not left to specula
tive conjecture alone, but have the benefit of ac
tual experience to guide and direct us. This ex
periment lias been fairly tried—not, sir, in relation
to tlie C hancery, but to the common law Courts—
and I appeal to the candor of every Lawyer who
hears me, to say, whether it hay produced those
happy result*, so confidently predicted by its
friends ! 1 affirm, sir, that I have no recollection
ever to have met with more than one or two well
informed Lawyers, who did not admit, that the
substitution of the Circuit, for the District System,
had been mischievous.—and that it had produced
an evident deterioration, both of the Bar, and the '
Bench.
It thi* bo so. Mr. Speaker, what incidental con- !
veniences attending the change can compensate ;
tor this great and serious evil t In the institution i
ofevoryJudici.il System, the impartial, faithful, j
and able administration of justice is the first_the
very first, consideration. Despatch, convenience, i
and cheapness are important, hut yot subordinate
objects; and every system is defective in the ex
act proportion in which the former aro Sacrificed
to the latter. That this sacrifice was made to a
most misrhievious extent, in substituting the Cir
cuit, for the District System, in your common law
t.ourts, seems to be generally admitted by those
best qualified to judge of the matter—the well-in
formed Lawyers of the commonwealth.
l am aw ary, Mr. Speaker, of the delizacy of this
subject. 1 know, full well, bow unpopular it is to
say aught against this favourite Circuit Court
System, which We are told has entwined itself so
closely around the affections of the people. But,
* * •'111 arguing, not so much from my own con
viction on the subject, as tiom the declared opin
ions of those much mors competent to decide the
question—the Lawyers themselves. And yet,
Mr. Speaker, as no consideration of self-interest
idrsll ever deter inc from the avowal of my honest
opiirttinx, w hen called on as 1 now am, to make
such avowal—I have no hesitation in saying, that
I agree w ith those who think the change from the
District to the Circuit Couit System was impolitic,
and has been mischievous.
Why then, will gentlcrtien—many of whom, 1
doubt not, themselves entertain this opinion— per
sist in their dibits to introduce into another branch
of the Judiciary, am hieiple which experience has
proven to he de^^^ious, and productive <>f any
•hing but of good f How is it that they look upon
j ibis experience as an example to follow, rather
thru, as a beacon to warn ? Is it that this change
I is less objectionable, in relation to the Chancery,
than to the romnion lr ,v Courts ? So far from fh1_
I being tlio rase, tiiat it seems to me exactly the
reverse Is true; for there are many, and strong
ronsideiations, in finer of the latter, tiiat are not
I at ail applicable to the former. Your common
| htw Courts being a part, and a mos» important part
[ of (he police of the land, Criminals h id, under the
■ old system, to ho transferred, and parties, w ifness
t os, and veniie«, to be dragged from the various
; counties of (he District to its centre. In civil cau
ses also, the evidence bring oral, witnesses and!
! parties had to attend the Court in person, at gieat j
inconvenn hre and expense. Not so with th*'|
j Coui ts of Chancery—having nothing to do with
ho criminal jurisdiction of the «ouutrv. and deci
5mg altogether u;*r« urf«tC7* evidu. , ■>. / di*
I pease with the attendance of parties and witness
es—-and no Junes are called be lore tliem from the
distance ot UH) or 150 miles.
Again, sir. is there no dissimilarity between the
principles of law upon w hich these two Courts net
—no diflerCTKUs in rhe peculiar mod* of ad.nini*
teruig justice proper to each—that would call tor
home diversity in their organization ? In theoms
i «“•««» Jui'br‘-‘- whether holding a Circuit ox I>h
tnct Court, decides during rhe terra, every Jury
cause,that conies to trial—no>*se is laid over for
consideration dining the recess. He listens to ti.o
evidence and the argumuut, and, with the aid ul *
S' uistamer. In thevother, the Ch*n
•„ hV lhe c?de.nce embodied before him in *
written form, which, at his leisure, and uninter
rupted by perperpetual travelling in quest of his
Coui-tsdienmst sift and analyze; and when this task
i accomplished, (often the work of weeks, nay, cfc
months,) ho has then the more herculean labor t»»
perform, of ransacking, perhaps, a dozen mustv vol
umes, and of adjusting the principles they settle to
I he peculiar circumstances of the case befor hifh.
i i the one the vacation is almost a tonivlcle
holiday—w ith The other it is the time tor greatest
a K I7rt U! time allowed the Judge'for porfuir
over the voluminous records of the cases on Kit
i V° 'iui ;md ,hl,nting out and collating the various
authorities that bear -upon them. In propnrtibn,
therefore, as you lessen the interval between the
sessions of the Chancery Courts, by increasing the
number of these Courts, will you diminish the
time most beneficially employed by the Chancel
lor m preparing for a correct decision of the causes
depending before him.
'it » lir ’ thcrt;'0ro, that While you Tnnv
gue to the common law Courts such a form »«
may he supposed to promote the favorite abject of
attaining greater dispatch, -convenience and cheap
ness in the administration of justice, you caqnot at
tempt a like experiment in relation to your Chan
cery Courts, without incurring the risk of sacrifi
■cirig a greater good to a lesser evil. What you
will gain in cheapness and dispatch, (if, in,feed
you gain any thing,) you w ill Jose in the correct
and able administration of the justice of the eoim
fiaf, Mr. Speaker, is there no essential lifter*
oiu-e in the qualifications, both natural and ac
quired, necessary for a Judge of the General
Court, and lor a ( hancellor ! Whether these two
branches ot the science of Jaw are so unlike as to
lequire minds differently organized, is a question
I shall not undertake to decide : but that a difTet
eut training of the mind—a different course of «tm
<!y a different fund of legallearning, are neces
sary lor the attainment of distinction in these two
departments of the profession, w ill, I presume ho
admitted on all hands. It does not follow then’, an
a matter of course, that an able Judge at common
law wnl inckc an able Chancellor, or, vice versa.
And yet, wr, it is the purpose of this hill ;o eon
veil, as it by the touch ol the magician’s wand,
lour Chancellors into common law Judges, and fif
teen Judges of the General Court into Chancellors,
without the slightest reference to the fitness orun
litness ot these nineteen individuals f0i the new
duties they are required to perform! A is to he
made ( hancellor—not because he is or ever was
a profound equity lawyer—hut because he hap.
pens to have ai seat on the Bench of the General
court,—and B is to he metamorphosed info a Jude*
at common buy, tolely because lu: has hererofo'ro
been appointed Chancellor! 'y'
1 a,,‘ by means disposed to underrate either
the talents or learning of the Judges of the Ucne
bnbe^r1 ,d°ubt1n?t’ Kir> 1 «n‘ertain lor them,
both collectively and individually, as high a re
poet as any member of this House; but v«t I
cannot bring myself to believe that every one of1
he fifteen-including the. virtuous, the onco
learned, but now imbecile Judge White—is quail
h. d to make an able and etlicient Chancellor—
-Many ot them from long disuse, have lost their
e.u v store of know icdgc in this branch ot -their
proles-ion. and most eft then are too obi to com
mence a new course of study—to be put back, m
was said by tlm gentleman from Amherst, into tho
horn-book ot the science. These remarks, Mr
Speaker, are quite as applicable (perhaps more so,
from the greater intricacy of that branch o f tho
profession from which they have been so Jong
l",w l,TM) *° ,b‘! Chaneeltow. as to the common
I tw Judges; and 1 intend to apply them ccm-dlv
to .off, The effect of the prised law, qtSeiy
will be to throw the administration of justice -inf .
incompetent hands for tweuty-five or thirty years
to come . J bn, sir, is an evil for which no consi
deration of economy or of personal convenience to
parties, or to those concerned in executing tho
buys, can compensate; and with me, forms, of p .
!’ s,u msuperablc objection to the pr ooo«cd
sclioine. * n -tu
But, sir, on the score of expediency, there is a
ric her and to my mind, a most serious objection
to tlie loll in your hand. The law, if it pass, w ill bo
it dtad letter—it cannot be curried into effect • 1..
its execution will depend upon a contingcruv,
which, I am persuaded, even tire most suiiguiim
and visionary of its friendscan hardly Hatter tTiem
selves is likely to occur. It will depend upon j
pi rfect unanimity of opinion among nineteen Jud
gcs. upon a question of constitutional author'dv
wbicli has already divided, not only the Legishi
turv, but Hie Courts themselves. " °
J lie case of Hamper and Hawkins, so often re
Terred to in the course of this discussion, and
w hirl,, i: I mistake not, was confidently relied on
bv some ol the advocates of this measure durine
the last Winter, estahlishcs this fact—that while
two out ol five of the Judges of the General Court
d.-< ided that the legislature cy.ffd not blend the
common law and Chancery jurisdiction, even hv
granting a separate commission for each, tho m..
loiity ot the Court were of opinion, that by a dou
ble commission the two jurisdiction# might he uni

'i1, 1,1 W bumble'opinion, the friends of
tin- lull have acted most wisely in abandoning tbn
ground <><■< upied by the majority ol the Judges iu
this rase, and taking a position, w hich, ifnottena
, , ‘ "?l'y believe it is not—i#, at leasf, mom

A commission is a w arrant authorising the urty

Two commissions, then, can be necessary for tin
