The committee believing that no legislation ou the subject is necessary, ask to be diehaiged, which was granted.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. RIontjay, December 21. Petitions Puesented By Mr. Kinnurd, of N. Cox, praying coinpeosatiou for tcrvices rendered in exploring White river; also a remonstrance of j!

Mr. Hall from the judiciary committee reported a bill to amend the act authorizing domestic attachments, and to regulate proceedings thereon. Mr. Kinuard reported a bill concerning the state road from Crawfordsville to Indianapolis.

Mr. Kingsbury from the select committee, to which was referred the petition of James Hamcrsly, to be divorced rom his wife, reported a bill in pursuance of the prayer of the petitioner, which was read; when Mr. Dumont moved to reject the same. .Mr. KiNtsBURY hoped that course would not be taken with the bill He had been warned of the difficulty o: sustaining applications of this kind; no petitioner seemed to meet with a favorable reception, except a solitary fair one, (Mrs. Mrbrde) whose foilorn case had excited the sympathies of gentlemen. She came with no ordinary

claims. They were eingu'ar and ur

gent. He hoped however that the present application would not pass unheeded, although it was a rr.cn who was ark-

mg relief. He contended that the legislature might grant divorces without infringing any constitutional provision. We had, he said, adopted much of the common law of England, and many of its statutes and usages.: That parliament dissolved the banns of matrimon ; and that ecclesiastical courts divorced only from, bed aud board: that the legislature had not granted the power wholly and exclusively to the judiciary. 'The rourts in his district would "not allow divorces, unless for some one cf the causes enutraiated in the art. The general powers attempted to l e given by that law, the courts would Dot notice. The power, he said, must rest somewhere; and if the power was not tully delegated, the legislature was bcund to give relief, until it would extend the law so as to meet all proper cases He did not believe the marriage contract was of such a nature as prohibited the legislature from annul

I102 it.

He urged the claims cf the petition

er; his respectability; and ibe respectability of those who petitioned for him. He also adverted to the singular treatment Haumersly had received from his wife; her hatred to him; Rod her unfounded and unwarrantable jealousy of other women; and other matters, as set forth in the petition, all going to remove the c n-uieration and essence of the marriage contract. The house might, therefore, in the exercise of a 'gitimate jurisdiction, declare that contract an end. Mr. Dumont said Peing called cn to withdraw my motion to reject this bill, I feel a strong inclination to do so; and were it not for the stronger impulte of duty, I should certain!) comply with this request. Put, Sir, duty is paramount to friendship; and though there is no man in this house, or elsewhere, whom. 1 would be more hnppy to oblige than the author of this bill, and though I am in general opposed to the course I am now pursuing of endeavoring to expel a bill before it lias been investigated in committee of the whole yet, iu this instances duty compels me to "disoblige my friend, and to ask for a decision without further investigation. We

need no information on this subject. No investigation in committee could enlighten any gentlemanon this matter. We all know that it is an application to set asule a bargain. It is said that on a certain time, the petitioner and a certain lady made a batgp-n that they would be husband and wife; the was to take his name, and be humble and obedient, and to behave herself as a true and loyal wife: and he was to be a good and provident husband. Yet, as it is, the husband now comes before us, and in tho most plaiutive manner-avers, that hia wife, without any just cause or provocation, is jealous! That he cannot cast his eyes on any passing fair one, hut his better part is irxmediately frantic with rage. He, by his advocates here, complains that she i whimsical; and that at sometimes, t-he tears him as though she ivere a panther, and that at other times she is cold and distant. As we are now called cn to abrogate this bargain, it may not be improper to ascertain what right we have to interfere with this piivate contract. We cannot snmmon the lady here to attend with her testimeny, tut must proceed exparte. Could we do so, she might show perhaps in the most conclusive manner, that the jealousies were well founded; and that her husband, the apparently aggrieved petitioner, is himself the author of the wrongs of which he complains. Were this matter brought before a court, that court, before it would listen to the complaint, would give the opposite party notice of the pendency of the suit; and if it should appear that hia complaint were ill founded or even if true, that he was the author of his own woes; or that he was guilty of jealousy himself, then no relief rcould be grunted. For the Jaw says that 'the petitioner shall not have relief, if he be himself guilty of what he charges tho other party with." And the courts say every man oust approsrh

1 them with clean hands.
