Dr Grace resumed the debate on the second reading of the Judicial Practice and Procedure Bill, to which Hon. Pharazyn had moved an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months, Dr Grace thought Judge Williams had done his duty in charging the jury as he had in the Dean case, and deserved the thanks of the community. The Hon. gentleman traversed the Bill, which he intimated he should oppose. Hon. Stewart pointed out that the Bill was not required.
