Mr. HATLLAR beerved that in the Gotonyi like this there was Front difeulty in arriving at the truth respecting eriors of a sprainliy Chinese character. By the Ioan Cute of Criminal Prsendure this power was given throughons India, except in the thras Presi dency towns where, the Courts did not fitit. A sagristrute Indin hd much larger powers then stinen fiary wagistrate here, at many of them was not an well fitud to exercise hem as our alipendiary agistrals. After disorssing the minitor with the Chief-Justice,) be debted whether they should have the power to emmine prisoners when they were in be sent Tom Suprema Court, but in minor casca thia provision would he very nacini. For the prebration of jawcent persons it would beeful, a the Quart cant call a pri soner's attention to points in his ciae. Ho had been struck with a remark made by Mr. Stephens, a mober of Council in Cal enthu who approved of the examination of miamem, breause a ba said there was nothing.

The Chief Justice hnd proptand to amend the olduse relating to the torma in which the pri soner should be warned, by saying that the fact of frianol answering would be laid before the jnry amongst the other points in the eme. He did not koow whether this was aufficient warning.

HEXCELLENCy withdrew the conditional Payda Ordinance; ne he was now strefied That the power it conferred was already poa sessed.

BRANDING,

On this Ordinans coming on in the second reading, the Acting Thessorer observed that branding, like Dogging, would be useful if in- Sjefed upon those who thoroughly deserved it. bat they must paard sgainst inflicting it on noy lou hit up and incorrigible offendera. The Caier Justies di no think ing and Blogging were to be pheed on the same footing. The latter he acnsidered very benefiel, but the ferqer toote away the pros- pect ofn mau'a beonting bests. When he re- turned to the Colony he would do nothing but commit crime.

and

The ACTING.SECRETARY thought it had lile feet in abe 'a native villige.

M. Lowcock said the men who ought to be branded would never have the least desire to got an honest livelihood,

HIS FACILENCY said the rowed object of the Ordinance was the recognition of crimb

nale.

M. KESWICK thought if branding was to be adopted at all, the murk sbould be placed where it could be observed on examination, but not without If a muen were found couraitting a Criule, of were arrested under easpicione cirenia- stanes, then he could be examined for..the merk.

1is XCELLENCY thought the Governor in Counc might be left to distinguish use classes of Tenders from ethera in the manner of branding.

M. Lowcock thought the object was to pre- vent their coming back at all.

M. MAY thought that when a man had been once unvicted, the mara abeuld be placed. where it would not be seen, but afterwards where it would be clearly, sen.

The GOVERNOR thought the matter might. fairly be left to the Governor in Council..

The CHIEF-Jvation moved that Sretion 1 he omitted. remarking that, that really went to the whede Ordinance.

No man her spanned the motion.

REGISTRATION OF SERVANTS

His ExendLENOX then laid on the table for a first runding an Ordinance relating the registration of servants, the present one being fundness. He then observed that he monst bid the Council adieu, though he should bec thesu individually again.
