a code of criminal laws were
presented to the Legislature and scanned closely through the
day without ^the^ assembly passing one section of the bill
The Governor made some interesting remarks to his council

The Legislature met again on the morrow
and both houses sat in joint session. The criminal
code of laws was re-taken up and during the day there were
many interesting debates upon the subject from many members
of both houses. The Governor in his remarks said
the law was written in their hearts and it was difficult

should be left much to the discretion of the Court. Only
three sections of the Bill passed during the day.
