Sir J. Newport supported the bill as highly necessary. He said that the recovery of small debts was very precarious and uncertain at present, as it was attended with considerable expence. Persons might now recover to the amount of 5l. before the magistrates at the quarter sessions; but many of them in the different counties lived 15 or 20 miles from the 650 session house, and had to carry their witnesses so far, and to pay their expences, which rendered it a great hardship on all and actually precluded many from pursuing their just claims. He thought, therefore, the bill would prove very advantageous to the country, and as such would vote for the second reading. Mr, Lee said, magistrates were allowed to try causes of 51. for wages, and why not for common occurrences?—The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed tomorrow.
