It is stated to your committee that trials are sometimes de- termined, which produce the most singular and ludicrous combinations. An instance has been known where one brought an action for a specific article, over which the magistrate bad no jurisdiction, has sustained the claim and recovered a dit- ferent article -- the money ; another, where one who had made up certain work, sued for the value before delivery, recovered a judgment, with the additional order to hold the property as security for the debt ; so that the plaintiff had the judgment and the goods, while the defendant, who received nothing, was obliged to pay the debt. In a case tried by a jury, where an action was brought upon a promissory note two months before it became duc, the jury brought in the verdict for the demand, with a stay of execution until the note should become due; and the magistrate, under the above decision, had no alternative but to record a judgment accordingly.
In regard to the general character and conduct of the magis- trafe and constables, as above described, it ought to be stated that there are honorable exceptions.
It has been stated by respectable persons, and is believed By your committee, that a constable in this city has received,

to his own use, in a single year, from two to three thousand dollars of fines paid by gamblers.
There is no law which allows bail, in civil cases, to surren. der his principal, except during the sitting of the court, by . reason of which the bill often becomes fixed when the princi- pal is in the District; and, in one instance, bail became fixed and compelled to pay a large sum of money, when his princi- pal died in jail, because he could not be duly surrendered be- fore his death.
There is no law which allows the proof of deeds for regis- tration, executed by foreign grantors, except by a subscribing witness. A citizen of this District cannot sue a citizen of a State, in the Supreme Court, because he is not himself a resi- dent of any State. The judicial proceedings of this District cannot be evidence in the State courts, because it is not a State.
At least, so far as regards this city, there is no efficient po- lice. Gaming, tumults, and riots, are frequently unsuppress- ed, and go unpunished; and even more flagrant offences art committed openly and with impunity.
There is no adequate provision for vagrant paupers, who pour into the city from all quarters, as a place of geners! rendezvous, and are seen at almost every corner, in the char- acter of street beggars.
There is no efficient restraint upon gaming and abuses in re- tailing ardent spirits, which are among the worst evils in this community; many of these matters, however, are subjects of municipal regulation, and fall under the special jurisdiction of corporate authorities. But your committee forbear to ent- merate the almost numberless cases which might be stated, and which call for legislative relief; they must be apparent. from the general view which has been given of the history o! this district.
It will not have escaped observation, that, in this small ter- ritory, two entirely distinct systems of laws are administered by the same court; laws which are interwoven with, and buri- ed up in, the legislative rubbish which has been accumulating in the two adjoining States for more than one hundred years.
Another and more general view of the condition of this District may, with propriety, be hinted at. What do foreign- ers expect to find in this little territory, over whose destimes they suppose the concentrated wisdom of the nation presides' Will they not suppose that such a favored spot must exhibit the principles and. effects of a Republican Government, to the greatest possible advantage, and afford the best practical argu-

ment in their favor, which our country can produce? Only ten miles square, placed under the special guardianship of the President of the United States, and the American Congress; surely it may be supposed that this only child of the Federal Government will be nursed with sedulous care, and grow up a perfect model of all that is valuable in Government, and pure in morals. If such are the impressions of a foreigner, who can measure his disappointment, when he comes to wit- ness the political desolation which pervades this territory, and finds his anticipations but an illusory dream? Is he a friend to free Governments, his heart will sicken; and, if not, he would exult over our degredation.
If it is doubtful, then, whether a re-cession of this territory would not be unconstitutional and impracticable, your com- mittee bag leave to inquire as to the propriety of establishing a local Legislature, as another remedy for existing evils. This plan has also been frequently before Congress. It has been, or may be, urged, in favor of this measure, that Congress, without neglecting the business of the nation, could not devote that time to legislation for this District, which its rights and. interests imperiously demand; that although it is small, yet its inhabitants require as full and perfect a code of laws as the largest community-the same protection of life, liberty, and property; and that the laws for this purpose must be nearly as diversified and extensive for a small community as for the lat- gest; that a local legislature would give to the people, to some extent, the right of self-government, the exercise of the elective franchise; and that the enjoyment of these political pri- vileges would tend to create a spirit of enterprise and anıbi- tion, so essential to their prosperity, reputation and happiness- To these, and various other arguments in favor of a local Le- gislature, it has been, or may be, answered, that Congress cannot delegate to such a body that power of exclusive legisla- tion which, by the Constitution, is vested in Congress alone, any more than the Legislature of a State could create another Legislature for the same purpose: and that, in neither case, can any portion of legislative power be delegated any farther than what simplicity relates to mere police and municipal re- gulations. That, therefore, if a legislative council should be established its acts would not be binding until they had receiv- ed the direct sanction of Congress, and would be nothing more than the recommendations of a respectable body of men, like that of commissioners or a committee of Congress. That the minority of the local Legislature, and a portion of the people, would always be dissatisfied with acts of the majority,

and appeal to Congress against them; that in this way, angry disputes and conflicts would ensue, and the time of Congress would be more occupied than if it should originate all the ne- cessary laws for the District. This idea is further enforced by the suggestion, that the various rival interests of the three cities of the District, which would be represented in a local Legislature, would tend to sharpen and increase these con- Ricts.
The last proposition for a local Legislature was presented to Congress, in 1825, by the Joint Committee of both Houses for the District of Columbia; but the people themselves were opposed to it, and it failed.
In view of all the circumstances, your committee will not venture to recommend either a recession of this territory or the establishment of a local Legislature.
They will next inquire whether the committees of both Hon - ses of Congress for the District, in addition to their other le- gislative duties, can devote sufficient time to the revision of the laws and the civil and criminal jurisprudence of this territory, as is manifestly indispensable.
Your committee think not, and will offer no further reason than the facts above stated, and the past experience on this subject.
Upon a careful view of the whole ground, your committee are driven to the conclusion, that the best remedy which they can recommend, will be the appointment of capable and effi- cient commissioners, who shall be authorized to prepare and report to Congress such a code of laws as will be best suited to the wants, habits, and feelings, of the people; which code shall make as little innovation upon the common law, and up- on the statute laws of the District, as shall be consistent with a perfect, simple, and uniform system, and which shall be ra- ther a revision than a new code.
Let the most important branches be first prepared and pre- sented to Congress, so that its action can be applied as the re- vision shall progress, without occupying too much time at any one period.
On the 20th April, 1816, Congress passed a law, which au- thorized the Judges of the Circuit Court and the Attorney for the District to prepare and digest a code of jurisprudence, both civil and criminal, for said District, to be submitted to Con- gress, and to be modified, altered, or adopted, as to them should seem proper; but no adequate compensation for ex- penses was made by the act.
Independent of the very questionable policy of imposing up- on judges the duty of digesting a code of laws which they them-

selves were to interpret and administer, their other onerous official duties were incompatible with such a service. The consequence was, that all the Commissioners declined acting, except one of the judges, of extraordinary industry, who ap- plied himself assiduously to the work, and reported a code to Congress, which was ordered to be printed, but was never adopted. How far this may assist the labous of any Commis- sioners which may be hereafter appointed, your committee are unable to judge.
In connexion with this subject, your committee beg leave to suggest the propriety of allowing the District to be repre- sented by a delegate in the House of Representatives, in the same manner as other Territories.
It has now a population which, in any of the States, would entitle it to a member of Congress, and greater than any of the Territories which are now thus represented. Let there be some link between the government and the people govern- ed: let some principle of representation be observed. Even the enjoyment of this limited political privilege would be con- sklered, it is hoped, a valuable boon to the people, and pro- duce salutary consequences. If, for their first delegate, they should happen to choose one of the revisers of their laws, (should any be appointed) he might afford very useful and efficient aid in their passage.
A subject of the first importance is a criminal code, adapted to the new penitentiary, which your committee will propose in as simple a form as possible, and more with a view to tem- porary purposes than as a permanent system, which ought to fall under the mature consideration of the revisers.
The next subject of the most general interest relates to the courts of justice. In relation to this, as will be seen by the annexed papers, various schemes have been proposed; and without, at this time, undertaking distinctly to determine which is the best, your committee do not hesitate to say that some changes are absolutely demanded by every considera- tion arising from justice and propriety.
In lieu of the present iniquitous and oppressive system of Justices' courts, it might be expedient to institute a monthly court in each city, to be composed of three or four gentlemen of talents and standing, who, individually, should be author- ized to take confessions of judgments, and to issue process in litigated cases, returnable in court; that its jurisdiction should be considerable in civil cases, and that it should try all criminal cases not capital or punishable in the penitentiary. It is be- lieved that such a court would be amply sufficient for all its
530
Report on District Laws.
legitimate purposes, and that, by abolishing the power of the present magistrates and constables, a great blessing would be conferred upon the community, and especially upon the poor.
In regard to a division of the power and duties of the Circuit Court, much greater difficulty arises, and greater diversity of opinion prevails. Independent of the different plans which are proposed to your committee, the following has been under their consideration: to erect a court of chancery, independent- ly of the Circuit; transfer to the chancellor all the powers and duties of the judges of the Orphans' Court in both counties, in which he shall be obliged to hold a court monthly; that he should appoint a register in each county, who should not only perform the appropriate duties of a register in chancery, but also of the Orphans' Court, with, perhaps, some additional powers. This would be economical; and it is believed the chancellor would be fully competent to perform the duties proposed.
On the subject of trials by the judges of the Circuit Court, your committee are decidedly in favor of a nisi prins system.
It may be said that the measures proposed will involve con- siderable expense. What then? Can this local nondescript Government be sustained without expense? Certainly not .- To whom else can the people look but to Congress? Where else can they go, not only for the protection of their personal rights, (political they have few) but for aid in the promotion of learning, of science, and the arts-of domestic industry, and local improvements? In short, the same encouragement to all useful institutions and objects within the District, which a state Government ought to extend to similar institutions and objects within its own limits; not indiscreetly, and in profusion, but in that cautious, yet liberal nianner, as will most economi- cally and efficiently combine individual enterprise with public bounty for the general good. Here no constitutional seruples can operate: Congress has the power of exclusive legislation, and, therefore, justice and expediency are the only questions; and it is to the justice and wisdom of Congress, and Congress alone, to which this people can appeal for patronage and pro- tection; and this appeal, it is believed, can never be made in vain.
¡Various communications, and sundry drafts of bills, were elicited, in reply to thirty: interrogatories propounded bu the committee, to some intelligent citizens of this District, seeking. information relative to our laws and their administration: their answers are able and satisfactory-all concurring in one point-that a prompt remedy is now imperiously demanded. ]
