_ Qnsaturdny, .-’.l!a_t/ (3th, a petition was pre-
7pén'ted from Charles Fantiitig and others for
gheiiiicorporalititi of a Bank.‘ A resolution
,'Was‘adopted‘ for appoiiitiiig ii couitutttee of
ope from a county to ‘report ‘on the ‘stibjéct of
Xffxictition. The bill fora public act giving the
"Superior Court original and con’cttrrem_inris-
jfdictioii in cases of e_=}ectni‘eii't,_ and in all cases
_"-where the demand exceeds 8260 was laid on
the tjable for further consideration. The bill
for the safety of'steam boat passi-ng'ers;svliit:li
is in stibstanhe a ‘copy of the act lately passed
by the N.Y. Legislature for the statue ptirpuse,
was referred to a select coiiimittee. A bill to
enable towns to iestrain cattle and geese, and
3 bill to enable justices of the peace to son-
tence to the work house for 90 days, iiistcziti
of finiiig, were read :1 21d time. iVl‘essr's. Rob-
erts. Prudden, and Hall, were appointed a
coiiitiiittee on the petition of Win. St. John,
find Others. -
Monday, May 8.—~Eleven ‘petitipns were
presented, among which was one from North
Stonington Society for a Lottery towards the
permanent support ofthe Cf'€7‘_;"I ;oue from the
town of \Vestoti against the town of Retitlitig,
and one from Vine Robinson anti others for
nan itisuraiice coiiipany.
A bill for apiiblic act for preventing the
ihcotiveniencies arising fr. the loss or uncer-
tainty ofthe boundary of lands, was re.itl a
2d time. It provides that bounds may be
settled by ajudge orjnstice ofthe peace and
3 ftceholders. and entered on record.
The Bill giving the Superior Cotir-t original
and concurrentjurisdiction Wllll the County
Court, in cases ofEjecttnent. and in all cases
where the amotint shall exceed 3200, and
which hatl been laid on the table, was called
up on its third reading.
Mr. Sterling made a few remarks in sup-
port ofthe bill. He coitld see no reason why
the Superior Court sltoultl not have original
jurisdiction at law, as well as in clianccry.-
They had jttristiiction there. in all cases where
the demand was over 3385, anti he knew of
no reason for the great tll‘:‘{lllCllOn \\'lllt‘,ll was
made between their jurisrlictiion at Law anti
in Eqtiity. The Sllllt-‘I’ ought to be at liberty
to bring his case at oitce to the Superior
Court. As it is now, he is oltcn compelled to
travel through the County Court with his case
and be compelled to pay licavy bills of cost.
The amount of 39-00 which was the stitn pro
posed in this bill, was not too low, and no in-
convenience could arise frotn it. As to that
part which related to uottaxing costs ii here
there had been appeals, anti the case had been
once tried by the jury--the oliject was to pre
vent the trials offacts, by the Superior Court,
when they had been once settled by the
Co. Courts. Ajtiry in the Co. Court were as
com peleiit to try facts as a jury in the Sup’r
C’rt, and each trial was at a great expense.
"Were this provision to prevail, no party would
suffer a trial unless he meant to abide by it.
Mr. Beardsley said the provisions of this
bill were entirely incorisistetit with the provi-
sions ofthe bill which had already been re-
ferred to the‘ Judiciary Couim. He would
therefore move to ltave it referred to that
committee. Agreetito.

others for 21 Bank at GrotonLantl of Adam
Laraby and others for a batik, were rcfcrreti
to the committee on batik applications. The
petition for a lottery to build a nieetitigliouse
was laid on the table.
The Judiciary committee reported in favor
ofittdefiiiitely postpoiiing the Bill which was
contititteti frotii the last session, relative to
establishing county courts, &'.c.——rcport ac-
cepted; bill postponed accordingly.
A bill for a public act was iiitrodticed by
Mr. Sterling, which had for its olijt-‘ct a new
organization ofthe county courts_; providing
for three circuits, Sac.
The bill to guard against steam boat acci-
dents passed.
Gen. Kimberly offered a resolution for a
committee to enquire into the present situa-
tion of the State House in N. Haven, and to
see if any repairs or what were necessary. He
reiiiarked, that it could not have escaped the
notice of every member of the llouse, who
had been in his sent this session, that sonic-
thing ought to he done. The very walls man-
ifested it, and although no member was pled-
ged to vote on any report that might be made
by a committee, still be trusted they would
at least suffer an ittquirv. The resolution
passed, and acominittee of one from a coun-
ty was appointed.
Mr. Perkins called tip a resolution relating
to the appointment ofa cointiiittee to investi-
gate tli_e Eagle and Derby Banks. and varied
it so as to appoint a joint cotnmittee.
This resolution elicited considerable dis-
cussion. Mr. Shepard contended that it was
-not the province of this House to interfere in
the manner this rcsoltition proposed; there
were vested rights which would be iitfecteti by
it; and the Legislature could not lay their
hands upon them. By the Ct)llSllll1llt)n, they
had no power to do this, and could authorize
no cotiimittcc to interfere with the business of
these corporate bodies,‘ any more than with
the private concerns of an int.lividtitil——tliat if
witnesses were to refuse their attendance, the
house had no authority to compel them; and
if the power were exercised, and they were
confined for disobedience, a writ oi‘ liailieas
corpus would set them at liberty from such
illegal confinenietit.
Mr. Dana presumed this liotise would de-
liberate long before they would ,,/lopt the
maxims laid down by the gcntlciiian, (Mr.
Shepard.) These Banks were the creatures
of the Legislature. The Eagle Bank in par-
ticular, was recommended to the piililic by
.tlie act ofits incorporation. It was it favored
;institntion, and tlte_pnblic moneys had been
desposited in it. It was well known, ifit had
not issued paper beyond the capital allowetl
by its charter, in direct violiitiou ofthe act of
its incorporation, the evils now complained of
would not have occurred. ‘vVas it notthen
P-Ompctctit for some power to enquire into its
.8Ituation St. to see what had been done? And
who should investigate the stiliject, but the le-
Klslature ? It was a dtity which they owed to
themselves to make the cttqttiry, antl there

Miserable indeed would be the condition _'of
ihe people ifthe. coiidtict ofthese banks were
iitit_suliject to an inquiry. The Legislattirb
were authorised to alter, amend, and repeal
the "charters; anti the power to investigate
their affairs was incidental to the power lhtis
retained by the Legislature. There was a
general law on the subject, which compelled
th'em to make an examination of their ac-
counts. It was with astonishment he had been
informed that post notes had been issned,pay-
able in one, two and three years, to a large a-
mount; and whether this was the fact was a
proper subject of inquiry. as it could never
Mr. Shepard said in reply that it was not
stated in tlieresoltition to what end the inquiry
proposed was to be directed. It wasa resolu-'
tion to authorise a committee to examiiietlie
affrirs of the banks and the conduct of their
officers, with persons anti papers, and to re-
port thereo'ti,—-witliotit any avowed Eilijectex-
pressed upon its face :—-that the rights grant-
ed by the cliarters were vested, and subject to
no legal interferciice. except what would re-
sult from a proper exercise of the rights re-
served by the Legislattire on granting their
charter, which were. “ to alter, amend, or re-
voke.” Were a bill introduced to revoke
their charter, then a cotntriittee appointed for
that purpose might make the examination;
that liou~e could exercise no other power over
tneni. than what was so reserved. He denied
the power ot'the Legislature to enquire into
the private coticeriis ‘ofthese institutions, or
way, and that the latter would be a direct vi-
olatiou of an important clause in the consti-
tution. He said it must be a strange law in-
deed, iftlic Legislattirc, under our Constitu-
tioii,conltl compel a tiorporation, any more
than an iiitlividtial, to ftirtiisli evitleucc against
tlieuiselves—to become the fouiitlzition of pro-
ceeditigs to be had, which sliotilti ‘deprive
them of their (2llZlI[*‘l'€ll riglits: that whether
the ftfflcrtfi or agents had been guilty of
swittdliiig was it q-testionofii (fflfllllllll nature,
to be cxttmitietl by the proper tifllcers of tile
law, but with wlitcli the Legislature had noth-
ing to do. He knew he was not on the pop-
til at side ; btit he wism-.d they tiiiglit proceed
legally, and not, in their eagerness to do good-'
overleap the boutids uf private right.
Mr. Perkins said——'I‘ne House, be trusted,
was satisfied that it possessed the power to
iiiaketiiis itivestigatioti, and the disposition-
now to exercise it. At any rate that part ol
the stiliject Was in able hands, and he should
not detain the house with any remarks upon
it. With regard to the olijeuts ofthe resolu-
tion, the tratisactions oftliesc Banks were iii-
volvcd in titiikiiess. His wi._h ,,«;,_g in reinot,-e
the veil which litings over them, and show
tltem to the ptiblic. If the otiici-rs of these
banks, as liatl been Sllggrjslcll haul been guilty
ofgrossniistnatiagetiient Oflll("lt‘ affairs, he
would give them an opportunity to defend
tl-ietiiseives: we owe it to them, and they owe
«kg to tliemselves, promptly to tiicet the in-
vcstigatioii.
i‘«lr.Gtiswold though: that a question oflaiv
or jtixistliclion, and it qtit-stion of policy, were
both involvetl in the stihjetzt. He did not
doubt but they had the power to make the
proposed eiiqtiiry. Tttc State had ctijoyeri it
troin lll!l’f initiictiiorial. The Parliament of
Ell‘-_'lfll'1(l hail always CX(‘l’ClSt‘(l such a power:
Congress had cxcrcisetl it the past winter ;-—
neighboring states had done it. He cited the
late instance of an investigation of the kind in
the Slate 0l'NPW Y0fli--llllfl considered that
this State had siuiilzir authority as other Re-
publican States. Eagle Batik was a mere
creature ofthe house, and under its controul.
Wlien we liave invested. money in it, may we
not scc iftlitit money is squaiitlcretl away ?
As to the policy of eiiquiriiig itiio the subject,
he tliotiglit there could be no doubt. The
whole state was ititercsted in it. Blaine has
bceti attticlictl to them on account of the fail-
tire oftliese banks, and if they overlook this
opporttiiiity. they will incur still further odi-
uni. Tlicir reputation is therefore at stake.
Mr. Pendlcton said, that the power claim-
ed in this case was no tiiore than what hail
been already exercised by the Legislature in
the case ofthe Bridgeport Batik, some yca rs
since, when it siinilar rcsoltitioti was carried
into effect regarding that inst itutioii.
Gen. Kimberly did not doubt the power of
the liotise on the subject, nor the expediency
ofthe measure. He did believe that the per-
sons interested wished the itiqtiiry to be made.
But it was :1 question of great importance,
and they slioiiltl proceed cautiously and dis-
creetly: they sliotild appoint a cotiitiiittce
who would act prudently and wisely. There
were a great variety of iiileresls at stake——tlic
interests ofstock-holders, and bill holders atid
ecclesiastical societies. A number of suits
were already pending, and might be affected
by it. The cltaracter ofintlividnals was con-
cerned’. How far the cotiimittce were to
tnake the affairs public to the world, he did
not know ; but thought they ouglit to proceed
deliberately. After some further con-
versation the resolution was adopted, and a
coti_iniittee of one from a cotiiity appointed.-
It consists of Messrs. Perk ins, Pitkin, Kitti-
berly, Raytnonti, ll oodrull‘, Eaton, Dana,
and Parisli.
A icsolutioti came from the Senate to ap-
point N.Jolitisoti, with .'~'llt2l‘l persons as the

tigatc the several ljlziiiks in this State. The
resolution u"rts laid on the table. Several re-'
signatioiis ofiriilitary OlllCBl'S were tetidered,
arid the l'.l0llSC atljouriicd at an early liotir, to
give the various coaniiiittees and county incin-
bers ati opportttiiity to meet.
