circumstance will be "my apology if io the rcmsrks I shall make repetitions shall octuronthe one fiapd and apparent Inattention to r-gumenlsonthe a'member of thUgovern-meat during several years anil' being impressed with the difficulties attendin the formation of a judiciary system have thought proper to give a concise history of legislative proceedings on this important subjeft Remit me fto say sir that first Institution of such 1 system1 "must be an experiment It impossible to ascertain until tried" the of ft systert coextensive with the vast territory of the1 United htdtes and which ought to be adapted to the law and habits of tho- different 'I 'Soon after the first hnafted ss early a the ytar TT3 and I believe ttoner complaints were made the system of circuit courts The union then bemgdirided into three circuits and twb of the six jndges were obliged to attend each Court if one judge' failed all the business-of tourie was continued to tbe next ternr Judge complained th they had 'to and lawyer complained of delays In if my memmy is law passed allowing one judge to attend with the distrift in each distrift' with somd other' modifications po Important jn the presentview the subjeft If by reason of distance badness of roadx( sickness Or any ether accident this one 'judge failed of attendance or if he and the dis-trift judge differed on any point 4 delay was occasioned 1 '1' If the same judge 'attended the saiqe circuit at the pext term another Idelajr and so on till experiment taaght us that torn alteration in the system was requisite It will be recollefted that the judges had travel over this' extensive country jlVice in'each year and encounter tht extremes of both heat and cold Of this they complained but this was not all the business was npt doneT At seroraj sessions of the subjeft of the Circuit courts was before them 1 4 committee were appointed in both houses and to more than one edmmu-j cation of 4he cxeeutivb at1 the Commencement of sessions a revision of the systemtvas recommended I cannot-on memory detail the exaft particulars or ordeof time but 4a toe speech jnade by the President the opening of the session 1799 the subjeft is slated as follows To' give due effeft to the civil administration of government and to ensure a just execution of tbe laws a revision and amendment of tbe judiciary sys-tehi I indispensibly necessary In this cxtcnsive country It cannot but happen that numerous questions respecting the interpretation of and the rights and duties of officers and citizens must arise 1 O'n the hand taws should be- executed Oft tbe other individuals should be guarded fiom oppression neither of these objefts Is sufficiency asur-ed under the present drganization of the judicial department I therefore earnestly recommendAhu subjeft to your serious Altliogh this 'subjeft had been recommended before and committees had contemplated a revision and alteration' of the" system I-do not remember that a 'bill had ever been' presented heusoof Corgres until 1799 In That Session a bill was reported similar in ts Features to the ft wlush passed last session- It-might have been afteduponto the house of represents-tives of this however I am not' confident but I recolleft it was primed and the members of both houses ha4 it before them and 'at the last session with some alterations and amendmentsit was enafted intd ft law I believe oU partiei wished for a revision and amendments of thq system in tespeft to circuit courts the difference of was principally this some supposed increase the judges of the supreiftv court to such a number as would render the duties of the circuit practicable fer'them and provided fur the completion of business would be the best ft-mendment and others thought the law as it passed was prtferable I acknowledge that in deliberating upon this subjeft we always assumed 'the principle that the establishment of courts Was important to protect the rights ol the people we did not fear an army of judg es as had been hinted by the gentleman who was last up (Mr Jackson) opinion we might be mistaken hut we were honest In our professions although some believed that more of thef business of the United States might be confided to the State cpufUyet it la not within my rccollcftion that the question was consldeted to any measure a party ques-tion I am confident that at -the session of 1799 for ft long time before thst the friends" cf this Jawwfnch eventually passed last winter could not por did not conte mplateBy change of adminisfa-tioti" 'A 'rension 'of" the system was Icng a subjeft
