On motion ot Air. Hudson, of Putnam.
fhc various subjects of the Governor’s
"message, were referred to the joint standing
committees respectively.
The bill set apart for this day, relative to
the disposition ol the Cherokee lauds, was
taken up, and on motion, made the special
orderof the day for Thursday the 24th inst.
On motion of Mr v Neal, the resolution rel
ative to the election of State house officers,
was taken up, and amended, so as to bring on
those elections on Friday next, at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Speaker HULL opposed the motion
——lt was true, he said, that on a former occa
sion, the house had agreed to strike out $0 as
the price of grants. But members are not
now jionud by that vote, their opinions rnav
have changed; and he hoped they had chan
ged so that 80 might he retained. It was
true it had been the custom of the Legisla
ture to reduce the price of Grants; but lie
would call on the committee to examine
carefully who had been bent fitted by that re
duction. Was it the persons who were not
well able to take out their grants ? Certainly
! not. Alost persons of that description, lie
| would venture tosay without the fear of con
tradiction, had been compelled, by their very
| necessities, to take out their grants long ago,
and dispose efftheir lands for the purpose ci
tiler of settling them, or selling them to meet
their wants. The lands, he believed, winch
remained to be granted, wore chiefly such as
were in the hands of speculators; and lie did
know some such that would he be no lilted by
the reduction of one dollar per grant to the a
mount of 8 00— of others who would be ben
efitted to the amount of 800. These arc they
who will derive the principal benefit from this
reduction. They have witnessed our course
of legislation cn this subject; they have been
hence led to expect a further reduction, and
they, under the influence of that expectation",
have refused to takeout their grants, and have
not sold their lands, waiting for a rise in the
value of land. Those, Air. Chairman, who
would really feel the benefit of this reduction,
have long ago taken out their grants:—and of
what importance is it to men in mode rate cir
cumstanccs, in thi • country, to save §1 on the
price of grant ? But when it comes to 55 100,
or a thousand dollars, and falls on men who
are able to Iftiar it, and moreover goes into the
treasury of the State, it is a matter of some
importance to the public generally.
Mr. TARVER said be knew ofno men in
the situation described by the Hon. Speaker
as being able to take out their grants, and
have not done it. But he did know of many
poor men wiio had not taken out their grants,
and were not well able to do so. Besides,
sir, what is the condition of your country now.
compared with what it was 10 years ago?—
Is not 81 worth now as much as three or four
then? He hoped the house would consider
the subjects maturely, and reduce the price of
grants.
Mr. GLASCOCK hoped the motion to
strike out would not prevail. It was very true
that the proposition to reduce, had prevailed,
the other day, when the Ilt-.ise had its own
bill under consideration. Many gentlemen
were dissatisfied with it; and had determined
to move for a reconsideration oftho question.
But as a bill on the same subject; came from
the Senate, they abandoned that determina
tion, and resolved to bring up the question on
the passage of the Senate’s bill. It is well
known, sir, that it has been the practice of
this government to reduce these fees from
time to time, to almost nothing—that our
course lias been to commence with a high
price, and rcducu it gradually. Is this serv
ing out the measure of equality among the
citizens of this State ? That one part of our
citizens shall he required to pay a high price,
and others a small one ? In consequence of
the acts that have been passed heretofore on
this subject, many men have believed that a
further reduction would be made, and hence
have held back, so that the price might be
reduced to the burst possible point, before
they would take out their grants. Yet, if lie
could believe that if a particular class—a
class wiio are really not able to take out their
grants, he would give thcir*grants to them
without :hc charge of a single cent. But he
could not believe there was any euch class
who would receive any such benefit—hut that
it was quite another class who would in real
ity be benefitted. These were his views; anti
he was quite sure that if this reduction lie now
made, t!c grants will not still be taken out,
but that men will still wait under the expec
tation that another Legislature will make a
farther reduction; while, if we refuse to re.
duce, the Legislature will bo considered
pledged, not to make a further reduction and
the consequence will be that all the grants
that arc worth taking out, will he taken out.
Let us refuse to reduce, and the people will
flock to your treasury, and wait no longer.
It was his opinion that if the price i.; row re
duced farther the expense of surveying will
not be refunded to the State which was one
object of having a price attached to grants —
and is there a single i . livictual in this State
who would not cheerfully admit that this ex
pense should be refunded, and contribute hi
portion of it ? He was sure there was none;
and moreover that if it was left for the people
generally they would decide that in all
instances a liberal price should he paid.
Air. WARNER, remarked that as ho un
derstood it, the principal objection to stri
king out “six dollars,” was that the individu
als who would be really benefitted, arc not
the pooi—that the property has changed
hands. This view of the subject lie did not
think was cot reel: and for this reason. In
1829 an act was passed extending the time to
the Ist November of the next year, so as to
put it out of the power of the succeeding le
gislature to interfere with the subject.—But
it so happened that the legislature was called
together two weeks sooner than usual. The
people did net anticipate this; they therefore
went forward and look out their grants, so
far as they were worth taking out. Ileucc,
most of the lots that have not been granted, it
mav be fairly presumed, are of very inferior
quality—such as may never be expected to lie
granted at the present price—Ho believed it
was a corcct policy, not to enrich the State at
the expense of the, people; but to extend and
increase the population of the State as far as
possible. Now if we reduce the price of the
grants on these inferior lands, it may be the
111 c ansof increasing our pouulabion; many lots
may be improved, that otherwise would not—
There was another reason why we should re
duce the price.—Aluny persons had felt them
selves bourn) in conscience, to pay taxes on
the lands which they have drawn, whether
they were granted or not. Those who have
j acted thus have paid into the treasury, larger
j amounts, perhaps, in the shape of taxes, than
die original price of the grants-
The next topic to which lie would advert
was that, as to the sum that was to be paid to
jurors, the substitute was better than the ori
ginal bill, and for this reason. The original
bill provides that juries shall receive a fee of
j 83, whether judgement is confessed or not.
Now a Court may remain in session and juiors
j may remain in attendance for ten days, nnd
j yet not have a ease to try ? so they will
j nothing. Air. M. said his object was to pro
; lent this by paying them 81 per day ; after
: this manner ; For every case, whether it goes
|to the jury or not, the plaintiff shall pay one
j dollar to go into the county treasury, and the
! plaintiff will get his money hack again by ha
! ling it taxed in the bill of costs. It" will go in
I county funds, and the deficiency will be made
j up out of what may be on hand of these funds.
1 11 is object, he would repeat, was to provide
| effectually for the payment of juiors. He
I cared very little whether the attorney’s fees
! were retained or not.
Air, Howard remarked that the suggestion
1 of the gentleman from Warren about the rule
■ of the House, would apply to many others in
in the House besides attorneys. There are
jurors here ; those who have to serve again ;
there arc pluntifis and defendants ; almost ev-
I cry man here belongs perhaps to someone of
these classes. Tim rule of the House will
apply to them as well a3 to attorneys, because
they are equally inter, sted in these fees. Mr.
11. believed that flic defendant should in all
cases pay the costs of an action ; and (hat
there was a disposition among .the people to
take away the attorneys fee altogether. The
last legislature had taken away 11 part of it
a id lie Was perfectly willing to let the remain
der go.
If the object really be to pay jurors, sup
pose there are qo county fund?, how will you
pay them? Wifi you levy tin extra tax for that
purpose? lie thought that if there were no
confessions of judgment, the fees provided al
ready would be enough i and it appeared to
him by f r the easiest way of paying them.
Mr. Hudson said that the subject of pay.
ingjurors had been often before the legisla
ture, and it had appeared hard to settle on anv
general principle. For himself, lie had al
ways been of the opinion that the service ren
der'd by jurors had been sufficiently com
pensated by the return of the like service from
their neighbors. But as there was so much
diversity of opinion and as gentlemen had
found tt so difficult to meet on any other
ground, be thought the House bad better a
dopt the bill ofthc gentleman from Elbert to
amend the act of the last session, lie be
lieved that two dollars on every verdict ren
dered was enough. One gentleman iiad sup
posed a case in which the court might sit ter.
days, hut this was an extreme case, generally
juriesarc required to attend on 2,3 or 4 days,
lie held that the defendant should pay the
costs; and was in favor of the original bill.—
In his county it would make the business of
a juror a pretty good one, if confessions of
judgement were not allowed, to deprive them
of their fen.
Mr. Oliver said the substitute offered in
volvcd a question for grave consideration. JTo
had made an estimate of what would be re
quired if an extra fax were laid, nnd that esti
mate was based on the State of things in his
own county. To pay jurors in his country
would require on that system 8705 60. Then
there being 76 counties in the State, 765 00
multiplied by 76 would give 888105 60.
Few tire the counties, he asked throughout
the State, prepared to submit to such a tax
for the payment of jurors ? lie held it to be
strictly true that when parties got into difficul
ties and called upon their neighbors to settle
them, they should be made to pay for the
trouble thus given to their neighbor*. It was
manifestly unjust to call on those who do not
get involved in !;w suits, to bn taxed for a
purpose like this—to pay for settling the dis
putes of their litigious neighbors. Ilis bill,
lie thought, covey( and the whole ground. It
snakes the parties to a controversy, pay the
expense of settling that controversy. And if
there is much business, the jury being on
that account detained long, their pay will be
in proportion.
Mr. Hutchins avowed himself to have been
always in favor of the payment of jurors; and
was now in favor of any liberal system that
would accomplish that purpose. But be thought
the house could not ge.'at its object without
disconnecting altogether, the "subjects of ju
ry’s and attorney’s fees. Why not disconnect
the subjects altogether, he asked, arid intro
duce a bill specially for the purpose of pay
ing jurors? Suppose wo pass tile bill before
; it amounts to nothing more nor 'css, than
a tax on every lean who brings a suit. Sup
pose the parties choose to settle the business
without trial, still the tax will have to be paid.
Farther alj the tax is taken off the defendant
end imposed on the plaintiff; for attorneys
will increase their charge ; whereas the de
fendant should always pay the cost. Air. 11.
concluded by ottering a substitute -'to repeal
the act of 1880, regulating jurv’s and attor
ney’s fees.” ' '
Mr. It van said he would endeavor to justify
the remark he had made in the beginning of
the discussion, about the applicability of the
rule of the rule of the House. There were
jurors present,and there were doubtless plain
till's and defendants. This he admired. But
l>otlt the original lull, and the substitute con
templated raising tile attorney’s fee to Si-
Mere not attorneys directly interested in that
matter ? And was it not a different sort of
interest from that which thcother parties had?
He conceived that attorneys were interested '
to such an extent as tocontc under the opera
tion of the rule ; and could not therefore vote
on the subject. He hoped the gentleman
from Baldwin, would be satisfied with this ex
planation of his views of the matter.
Mr. Howard replied timt he must still ad
here to his original views. The object of the
rule referred to was to prevent members hav
ing a private, personal interest, distinct from
the community, in n question from voting
on it. But, in this particular case, he must
contend, that if attorneys are interested, so
also are jurors, plaintiffs and defendants; and
of course tho whole community. 80 that on
the score f interest attorneys have no advan
tage, there is distinction—they have no im
mediate, private, personal interest, distinct
from that of the community, in the question.
It is not, therefore, such an interest as is re
quired by the rule.
Mr- Terrell said he would ask gentlemen
whether it is really their desire to provide for
the payment of jurors ? Do they think the
services of jurors arc entitled to compensa.
tton ! Arc they really willing to provide for
their payment 1 If they are, how do they
expect to do it ? Not by this hill certainly.
Vhy then not come to the rchl question at
once ? Why go round about the matter, and
hold out to jurors im idea that they will be
paid, when, in truth, they will not. The gen
tleman from Elbert, (Mr. Oliver) hy the esti
mate he has made, will defeat his own object.
How many cases occur in Elbert county, on
which he had founded his estimate ? Do they
exceed 100 at any one term ? If they do not
exceed 100, what compensation will that fur
nish ? Tho gentleman from Putnam, says
1 that it will, m his county, he a money making
business. That may he so in Putnam, hut,
Mr. T. said in iiis county (Franklin) it would
be far otherwise. Sir, if wc are determined
that jurors shall he paid, let us come to the
point at once—carve outthc System by which
they will bo effectually paid, and not delude
them by this sort of legislation. Mr. T. was
opposed to both thc'original bill and the sub
stitute. One proposes that payment shall be
made out of the county fuuds. What will be
the effect of that system. That in some coun
ties jurors will be paid, while in others they
will get nothing. Is this justice ? Is this
placing all on the same footing? Mr. T. was
fer serving all alike. He would adopt some
general plan that would be effective ; for that
jurors should be paid he l ad never doubted.
They are called from their business, at perhaps
busy seasons—they arc coni|>cllcd to loose !
their time—and time is money—they arc very [
frequently poor men, ill able to pay their ex-!
penses, nnd loose their time too. All the i
other officers of the court are paid—and jurors ;
also should lie paid. He would then provide j
