PERFORMANCES. He ran ell distances, competing with the celebratod Reality, the dam of Mr. J hnson’s equally celebrated Medley, with Coquette, Lady Richmond, Fair Rosa mond, Lady Lightfoot, Optimus, and many others; win ing 13 races out of 15—and it might be said he never ran a race which he could not have won. The following certificate* of Gentlemen well known on the Turf, go to prove him a horse of the first order, end well entitled to the notice of breeders ol the blood horse. CERTIFICATES. 1 sold Timolson to Col. R. R. Johnson, for $4,100 end believed him then to be superior to any horse in the United States. WM. WYNN. I sold Timoleon to Col. David Dancy for $1,300, and I have no doubt he is the best race horse that ever ran In Virginia, North or South Carolina, which is »« far a* lam acquainted. RO. R JOHNSON. Copy of a letter from IVm.R. Johnson to Col. David Dancy, dated Petersburg, Oct. 3d, 1819. Dear Sir—I find you are likely to take Timoleon to the western Country: it this should be th- case, I hope Boost earnestly you may do as w*l! la his real merit a* a race horse dcSf.T?:. ! have seen him run in all ths races In Virginia be ever ran—his performances from one to four miles, have been such as to do ctedll to the best runner, sither in this country or Europe: and his •tile of going is of the mos' superior action. His size a d blood entitle him to rank tint rate at a billion. I ne ver saw but oue of hia colts, which was foiled at my Father’s (ns hod not then commenced covering.) This colt would have dons credit to any horse, indeed out of 100 it would be difficult to select one his equal, and I would as soon this day enter it in a stake of Irom one te five hundred dollars each, as to select from ibis season of any covering horse, no matter how many mares he had put to him.

Hemaiks oj Mr I,ih*on, on the Resolutions on the •object of the Judteiary—delivered in the Home uj Delegates, February Isf, 1831. | Derate Continue*.] Mi.lubfon said, ho eh< ul J idler mi npology lo Ihe House, lor Ihe short limo he «houl<l occupy its alien lion, n a-signing • few of Ihe reasons that would in duce him to support the Depot t of the Committee.— ! 1'he good pi ople that he in part had the honor lo repre I sent, both feel tnd have expressed a great anxiety for the c<uitein| latrd change. Indeed, he believed It was the general svish of the citizens of this ancient Do minion. It is not a sudden leeling— It has grown with time, and Ins taken such deep root in 'he hearts of the i people, that it ootv overshadows the land. The echo of the public voice has been he ard from county 'o conn- j | fy* <*nd there are few who.reside out of the large towns | where Chancery Courts are now held, that ha e uot I heard its sound. For hiniseif, lie felt Instructed, and he ^uiild obey those instructions th • more cheerfully, | at his own opinion harmonized w th the wish of hi* j constituent* Mr. G. said he b-'onged to that class ol politicians, who believed that the voice of public sentiment, when ' uninfluenced by party rxritcmrnt, was th* voice ol ' wisdom. He knew (he said) as to manner, that he , had nothing to offer, that would captivate, and h fsar eil, as to matter, not much that would In'rrest or in-I struct.— He should, liowovi r, treety ofler the widow’s thite ; aiitl without fartf er preface, he wjuIJ at uuce go into Ihe argument of the que-tion. The gentleman fiouj Henrico, (.Mr. L»igh,) in his | very able aud eloquent address, hat specified, with his usual ability, innumerable objections to the proposition 1 ol the Committee, most of which are as applicable t» the presetit system, as to the oue proposed One ol i the tiret that he should notice, was the one, that no in- I creased accommodation would be afforded to the suit t ie ol the Court, by carrying Chancery into each county ; because, if that were Irtir, there would be i an end of the queslioD. (I the people gain nothing no the score of accom modation, the change would he of no value to them — Is lha: so ? The g alls man tells you, and truly too, ; that in moat Chancery suit*, nil the defendant* do Rot reside in auy oue county—and branch thn Courts as you may, you cannot carry the suit to the County of each utrty. That if an obj-ctiou to the present district plan. It is not unusual in a Chancery suit, lor «6.*ie ot ihe parties lo reride cut ol the District—nay, out of the Commonwealth—yet they h «vo to be convened by ] some procee* or operation of law. Lei us see il that canuol be s-ff-cted upon (be county plan, as well as ttiatof tho District. Ths member troin Henrico states, j tliat it the proposed plan is adopted, Miralial* Will , have to be dispensed witb, and the SheiifL ol tli • conn- 1 ties subftitu ed in their place; an I that tho S.,ctifT> wilt not execute the process, and return il to the pro per County. The first branch of the propos.tion is c r tainly correct. Wo shall have to sub* itute Shsiiff. lor Marshals ; but it is not conceded that they will not b^ as | unc ual as the Marshals th imseli • — n y, • be lieved m re so, lor reasons that lie would prestn'ly as sign. M r»hal* are generally strangers to meat of the I arty dUend jut# who reside in ihrir District—and al though they receive itnee times a« much lor the exe cution ol any original precept as a Sheriff—yet, in i point ol iact, they generally attended the County I Courts to serve such precept ; aad if they meet with the parties, it was all we.I—the business was dons, if I not, it was not attended to—and it not unlrtqoenily happened, that Irom want of acquaintance in the coun ty, pirie* actually at Court, were permitted to go a way, without being discovered by the Marshal or his D-puty. This o! jectlon does n »t apply to tbe Sheriff* oi auy county. The counties are laid ojI in District* and the Deputies generally knew every man in the County, each of whom may be said to be a neighbour to one or the other of them. Hut it has been said, thil t!.e She! iff j will not return the process thus confided to them, and tl at there is scarcely any in-an* to prove the reception on tl.e part of Suet ill'-, ol such process. Mr. Hibson said, lie did not know why th * Slur ff and his Deputies, would not leel as much disp.'s-d to at tend to their duties, as a Mtr-hal and his D -pu'iea_ He did ro' doubt but that they had that disposi ion — and sure ho wa*, that wi h the other advantage* only, already notx-d.ihoy would b- more prompt in thvir du ty. As to the difficulty of proving the reception ot a i **y papers sent them, in case o! delinquency, it could be isadily obviated, by making it the duty ol Hie j Clerks ot County Courts, to deliver to tho Sheriff of ! tl»«ir respective Counties, any papers enclose 1 to them ; by mail orf otlierwis , for such purpose, taking a re j etipt for tho same. This duty might be imposed on I th. C erks wi hout difficulty, as the office ol Clerk is j now completely under ihe controul of the Legislature. : Nor would It be burthensoine. It is not pobibl,t that ' more than 8 or 10 such communications would he made in anyone year from other counties. —Hut, upon the score ol economy, much would he galn> d to tbe suitors of the Court, by substituting Slier.ffs for Mar shals. From the increased distance that the latter hive to travel, it has been usual, and it is proper, to give a lat gor compensation to them, for the execution of or dinary process than to Sheriff*. They now receive about treble comprnra ion. This, how-ever, is n-t I ,e m-ift material sav ing. To keep up the office of Mar* shtl, the Chancelloi s generally refuse, where any | ro p r y is decreed to lie sold, to suffer Commissioners in ihe county lo effect a sale ; the Marshal must do it and rereive his commission.— Dispense with that ofti cer, and the sains reluctance will no he feIt lo the ap pointment ol a fri- nd of 'he pat lies, who would often act without reward. Upm this subject, he spoke knowingly, ss cases had laden under his own observa tion, to prove Ihe fact. He did not consider tba* he shonl t speak ex r.ivag.intly.il he sai l, that in some years, thousands would he sived to the suitors ol one county. But as to Ihe obj -clion, thal all the pa- ias to a suit rould no have the same brought home to them: It has already been stated, that upon the dis trict plan, all cannot be accommodated. Some re»:de even out of the District*.—The county plan ha* (hi* advantage over the o liar, that ft is not teas convenient I lo any,’and to these who reside in the county where { the suit Is instituted, it is much more so ; and sorely j that plan should be.adopted, that would give tome in-! ersesed facilities, provided others wore not inrommed i ed hy ii. But lie would contend, for all substaniial j purposes, the suits should b* cairied to the county ef esch defendant. Many of tbe parties to a Chancery suit, were generally nonintl as to iu'cresl, and much o'teiier so •* lo any active agency in tbe management ot the full. Most usually, some one or two al most, were -I-Iscted lo attend to the manag-ment ol Ihe suit whilst in Court—require the plathtiff, if his dam nl is a personal one, and again?! a dead man’s estate, and his Klsrutor or A lministrator is lo be sued, with the hrfrs i to institute the action in that conn'y, where the Exe I rulor or Administrator rcsi le». In 01) case* out ol a i hundred, he is ihe acting agent, and it is generally in such county that the evidence i* to be found. It lbs I -nil *h ’uld be about Lsnd or other property, require it to be prosecuted where th- land lies, or where the pro I petty ie to he found. There the evidence of title is | gene'ally found recorded, and those In posse«smr>, feel > a deeper in tercel, arid will he the active ami rmriM I iReii ?.—The M-tnbsr from Henrico ha* brought to die view of die House, ro iib caret of bulk mil iMft (flliy-ltid haa a*krd, howr ronM a County Chnrerv Cjurf, in Ihe limited term of it* aeeai -n, diepesa of *u h rjnea a* Brown and Rive* f The answer h a ready on* Such care* are rare.—[H-re Mr. Leigh rn«* and laid, he could name many ouch.)— If e»«»a of that de«cip'iondo occasionally appear, they con«i| tit* hut a ama I propor ion of any docket, and coinp ratin ly speak ing, o ni| y a arnall part ol th* time of any Court.— Court*, like »eneral law», are intended for theemve nienre of the great maa- ol the citizen", end not for th e*P"rial bent tit of th few. Could thrra be no mode pointed out, under the county plan, to dlapoae of »ueh suite,although hut few hi num ber, the objection would be enttrlerl to great weigh'; but he coneidered that a remedy wae to be f >ui,d for aurh caeca in a aperial term—aurh lerrna are known to our present ayetem. It frequently occurred in our Circuit Courts of Common f.aw, wher, from the muldptici'y of cut'*, or from the dlffleul v ot some, time wool I no permit the di*p>»*l ol all We hare even a Spec s Court of Appeal*, tor the trial of cases which r*rn>i he di-pnaed ot by the ordinary court, in ease* eoumerat •d by li*. In mrh cates, then, *a Brown and Hlvsa, Ilhe /urlge coo'd appoint a Special Court for tt.eir trial Nor can it he objected that the time of a Judge wool ' •ot adnai* of such « term; twenty Judge* would dispose lot' every pint in this Commonwealth, both at l<w anil ^ equity. We have now nineteen, includirg Chaurel I lore, end the addition ol one would he a »r>Umg eapeue*. I Dividing the labor betweeu twenty, would give ill the I larger counties no more than tour coumieso.' the target claa# to any one. Take, lor instance, the nontiliea of Loudouu, Fauquier, Priure Wil iaiu, and Fairfax, which have on tin* tljor iivmi represiuita'ives for one diitrict, and that wcud he fully the thare lor any one Judge: for upon that proportion we shou:d have 140 representative', and we have arttl.dly oidv i2-i. And who will pretend to ray that one active Judge could uol dispose ol t very auit I t thoe CQllfitird He did not pretend to pay tliat be wi-hcvl ihope cmiuties pill together, under the proposed arrange1’!'Qt: he took) that ca<e merely by way of IllusliatloU. Hut the gentleman from llenrteeleeiua to lliit k 'hat, under the proposed plan, that whenever a comt i« held, the Judge ip to be engaged in the alternate flial of law and equity ca-es, and build* a strong ar/iniMit l otu the eoulupion that would enaue—.he d ffleufy that the bar would lahot under, u the preparation and under standing ol the Chancriy leeord*. under «uch circum stance*. He felt, himself, the full force of the objec tion to an amalgamation upon turh principles, and was no advocate lor ii, nor had i.e understood that (he frieud* ol the plan generally, were lor such a system. They wished ilia termp, altliough held by the mm* Judge, aud at the same place, to be at different perh'dv, so that the euitor* at Common l.aw would know when to at teud with their wi ntsie*, and the ptiitor* in Chancery would know when tla y could be hoard. The gentle man from Henrico, however, contruJ* (hat proper Commissioners could not be procured upon the county plm, aud that clDcient officer* ol that doscripdon, are as necessary aa Chancellors. Their importance Is readily admitted. Hut why cannot such he procured uuder the propos-d syitem, as well as the ex'S'log' one? We have Commissioner* new in aim at every county, and if the suggestion of the member from lisnrico should he adopted, ot having a salaried officer, for a certain district ol count! y, it would be a, easy under the county plan as ilia other, to do so. J,»t that Commissioner tak*, lor imtance, a Judge’s district, and require him to go orct-imally Irom county to cotin'y, : to tike testimony, and make ull nece sary nobs, to cubic him to compile aijium- his accounts. To this plan lie saw no insuperable difficulties. ft was ea-ier , to make thatolliccr goto the people, than to make the p -ople go to him. It is, however, urge I that our Com 1 moil Law system is deleclive—that we must bnvo two Judges to ride the circuit, to guar I ng lust sickness aud other casual.las, and that two minds could uot be brought to hear with ell-cl, upon a Clinic* ry cause. Concede, it you pleaat, the l itter ohjsrfiiU), it does not I illow tliat the first is well founded. Our present Cir cuit Court* have been in operation for years, in tbia Common wealth, aud a< lar a* he could ascertain, the people were pleased with Its operation, except iu cir cuit* where tl e Judge i* worn out with age or infirmi ties. Kviis growing out of such causes, will be cur ed under the new Cons ifu'ioo. The vole of two-third* will be a sovereign panacea. But if a reme ly Is required, due* it follow that a» must hat e two Judge* lor every district? Toe ex pense would be enormous. If the evil mui! he reme died, would ini tin appointment of two additional Judge* id the State, allord a sufficient remedy? l.oc.ts one iu tha Western and one in the Eastern part of ths S ato, to that one could be convenient, in the event of 1a sudden call, growing out r,f any casualty. I i ■» d d not mean that this or Itmt Judge should be c-lied a supereumerary: that distinction might le odious, and for want of practice, the Judge might become rutty; 1 but as Jong at all remain troll, let them change ami [ change about, so as (o relieve each other. Air. (3. raid he did not iuteud to propose this plau, but only to suggest it as a cheaper and batter one than to have two Judges lor every circuit. The gentleman from Henrico tty< that, under the old district system, al hough the Judges ware neither abler or better men diau the Judges of the present general court, yet their derisions wrr« more rsspected. Ti.at may be ao, and doubtless is, but was it not owing iu a measure to tha pomp of office? The Judges were more of strangers to the people, they were not to commonly Been, and a kind ot reverence eucirlinl their character*. Iu olden times, in Catholic countries, the very ceremonies of the Church gave an influence and control le the Trieste, that is unknown now te our republican ministers. Yet hr bad never heard that the-rrligion tf those tunes was purer and better than now. Mr. Speaker,if the I possibility ot a Judge’s failing to attrnd, from ii.dispo sitiou, is au objection to tha propos -d Chancery plait, I do t.o gen'letucn *ee that it is ns strong an objection ta | the i resent district system? Cannot ClimcelLrs bt I land, or to exempt themselves (torn its influence? They too must be eick, and su:h in deposition would s agnate the streams of justice, as tve'l as that of a circuit Jii Ige — nay, on a larger scale, as th-y have more coun'iea to aitend to. lint it is urged that the new plan would impair the talents of the bar. H >w it is to eft ct that, he was at a loss to perceive. The stf-ct may be to break down that aristocracy of talent which gathers around the courts in Ilia larger town-; but in iloiic; so, it would send more ligh' in ths cotin tie*. Carry the rotirs into each county, and many wou'd be engaged in Chancery suits, that never would attend tiie distrift courts; knowledge would be thus dtffu e l, that cannot be imparted tinder the existing system. The operat'on would be like that of our statute of descents, which breaks down aristocrat c estates, but destroys no wt-aMi; it divides that po-sess^ ed by a few among many, and it might be well to a>k it, in a Republican Government Ike this of Myrs where all act, if it is not be ter tha' th- light of the I the b r eh uld he thu) diviJed? It h is bfeon urged I that, shoul I the report of the committee be adopted, and carried out into a la v, that the Court of Appeals would be so clogged with business, hut it could not keep *t down. Blit ring him*olf, that the decision of a Judge, in the counties, would Le as correct s* in ths towns, h* cuild not perceive why appeals should mul tiply. He wa» pereuaditl that, if the law was repeal ed, giving a preference to interlocutory decrees, and eonftn ng the attention of the court to matters of law, and not facts, that court would keep up wiili the busi ness ol the State, and the Judges would have spare time. He had h-arned from tho-e who had every op por unity to know, that the effect of the preference gir<n Ly law to interlocutory decrees, was to m«ku 'list court one of original jurisdiction. Suit* are lirmijlil in Uhnirtiry rnd hastened on to an interlncutary stag-, ex; res ly to bring them here to the Court ol Appeal*, an<t get instruction* to the Chancellors Inw to proceed. Thu consequence is, that in all import* • ut case*, the Court of dernier reaorl has to tied le in the first instance, how Chrncellur* ought to proceed. It ia this that chonk* up the business ol that Court almost to strangulation. Aa to '.he project submitted iiy the mem* bsr fruin Henrico, to the (rieud* o( reform, lor hlmsefl, he could not say it was acceptable. He looked upon it only as a palliative, hardly calculated to u.i'iga e the disease. Upou the plan thas proposed, not one suit in fifty could be tried in Ihe counties, ae il tvould rarely ba (out.d that all the parlies to a Chancery atiif tvould reride in the tame eoun'y ; and such a« were disposed of, must he under the disadvantages, so forcibly d' p’ot etl by lh* in-mher from Honrieo, of going iroui Chan cery to Common Law, and »o vice versa. 7 he number ol auiie would be too lew toju*illy.tbe expense of sen !• ling around e Chancellor to dispose ol them. And the whole expeneo ami evil of the present dietiict plan ; would be ent-'lcd upon .» in every view he could 1 take ol thasutj'Ct, he was impelled to conclude th.it j (tie jreport ol the Committee should he eustaineil.— ' Whether we regard the convenience ol the people, | economy, or Ihe d epa ch ol its business, the proposed chmge should hC effected# Itrmarks or Mr. M*cr*Ri.Atrn of Petersburg. Mr. Maclarland com die need by observing, that the resolution contemplated a wide and radical departure from the existing system, ***** that ought not te fie ac* ceded to, until it was shown to furnish the best remedy which was alt.ii.atde for the evil* complained of. The expenses and delay* which had been adverted to, .ndi cattd the necessity of reform; hut furnished no argu ment in favor of the proposed measure, unless it would provide against their recurrence, and lead to no bad consequences of its own. The * hole country complained ol the delays of the Courts. And certainly, there were few greater evils unnecessary delay in Ihe administration of justice. If ihe complaint waa confined to the Court* el Chan cery, and that waa in truth the only part of our Judicial polity, In which the svil waa found to exist, tV,« reso lution would t***.« to suggest the remedy. Butaucb was not the state -of (he oa*e Loud, and not more
