For the Gazette as the United States.
MR. Fekno,
a
The following copy of an address lately t]
presented to the LegiQature of New- p
Jersey, having accidentally fallen into c ,
my hands, and the fu'ojeft being of -
general importance to the State, 1 t
take the liberty of tianfmitting it to »
you for publication in your Gazette
A JERSEYMAN. [
IT is sxpefted the Legiltature will, c
this fitting, be employed in the impor- i
taut business of revising and digeftia'g '
our codr of Statute Lav*. As this a
work, if well executed, will be a credit i
to the State, as wcH as highly beneficial t
and convenient to individuals, it mud
be the lincer# wish >f every good cili- 1
icii, to fee it completed as Ipeedily as'. ]
pt jflifile. On a fubjeft in which th-y
are all so intiiniteiy concerned, eveiy
citizen of the State ha* an uiiddii>ted <
right to communicate his Ceniiments
freely to his fellow-citizens. I fhaii
make no apology, therefore, for the
freedom I now take in submitting,
with diffidence, a few dcfultory obfer
vatioos o!i the fubjeft, foi; the conlider
ation of the .Legiflattire.
The execution ot this business will
Con lift of two diPlinft parts. I'irft, In
felefting fuc'n Statutes or parts of Sta
tute* of Great Britain tir England as
have been heretofore adopted as law in
this State, or (hall now be judged pro
per to be adopted, and enacting tliem
into State Laws. Secondly, In revi
sing, new modelling and diverting all
our acts, of a public and peimanent na
ture, into one uniform fyllematic code.
The former of these mn!t firft be com
pleted, before th; latter can be fully
entered upon, as the new code, when
finifhed, mull comprehend the whole.
There are very few Engli(h Statutes
which do not contain some local, tem
porary, or cireumftarrtial matters, not
admissible into our fvftem of Statijlkal
jurifpnulence; consequently, very ftv»
or none of them can be wiioily adopted,
and of many not more than one o- I*o
feftions; all filch paits, therefore,
those Statutes as cortftft in pari ma!> '%■
ot relate to the fame fubjeft, may >fery ■
properly be compichentku ui one geiK
ral Act. This will render the law
more convenient, and be more readily
tinderftood, than it can be it detached
in unconnected paits, as it now Hands
in the Britilh Statute Books.—A na
nifell advantage will also result from our
adopting the phrafcology, or at least
the molt material words, of those Sta
tutes, which arc intended to be incor
porated with ojr Leijiflstive acts, as
we (hall thereby be enabled to avail our
selves of the experience and judicial in
terpretation of the Englilh Courts of
Judicf, in the application of those laws
to particular cases in practice.
This part of the work will require
lels time and labour in its execution,
than may seem necefTary on a fuperficial
tfew of the fubjeft. The number of
Biiti(h Statutes which can, with pro
priety, be adopted, in whole or in part,
upon critical examination, will be tound
to be few, and not vety difficult of ar
rangement. The fullowing iieaJs of
Bills, with the references to the several
Statutes from which they are to be
compiled, will, perhaps, comprehend
the most material ones.
I ft. An Aft concerning admimftra
tions, and the distribution of inteflates
e Hates ; to be extrsdlcd from 31. E d.
3. c. n. 2i. H 8..c. 5. 22 & 23. Ch :
2. c. 10. 29. Cli. 2. c. 31. Ja:
1. c. 17. and three of our acts of As
sembly, viz. The aft refpeftfng grant
ing letters of Adminiftialion ; An aft
making all buna Jit/n acts of adminiitra
tion before notice of a will good; and
an aft disposing of the surplus of per
sonal eflaies i»f persons cviiig intestate
leaving no relations. AH these may be
conveniently compteher.ded in one law
of a moderate length, and will comprise
oar whole Statute law on this fubjeft
in one general aft.
2d. Ap Aft for the amendment of
the law, and the better advancement of
juftice.—lf the framcr of any law ever
deserved tc be immortalized for it by
his countrymen, that great and good
man who penned the Statute 4 arW 5
Ann c. 16, certaialy 'is entitled to it.
Nearly the whole of this coffiptekcnfire
Statute may be adopted, together with
detached paragiaphs from fuudry other
Statutes relating to the fame bcneficial
objects ; ns 8 and 9, W3. c : 11, con
cerning afttecs and covenant* ; 9 ami to.
W 3. c: 15, making fubmiilioos to
arbitiation a rule of Court ; 17 Ch.

the death of parties before final judg
ment, laying actions in their proper
counties, See. 7 Geo. 2. c. 2 o. for
niorccafy redeeming &c. mortgages &c.
3d. An Aft to remedy mi lakes o- 1<
nifilons and defects in the form of pro- n
eedlngs In Courts of law. r l o an r
'Jtap'tan Legislator, u'nhaakneyed in the I
,£t« of forenfic fojJhidTy and prevarica- a
ion, this will appear ufelef*, and much v
jraife is due to the liberal and enlight- a
:'Tcd Jiidges of the present day, for the
ittle countenance tiiey /how to mere r
crmal exceptions : But a proper atten- f
ion to the iiiltory of law altercations, a
*ill, notwithdanJiiig, soon convince him r
jf the necrffitv of this aft. The Bri- a
tifh Statutes of Amendments and Jeofails, r
j3 they are commonly called, are namer- C
bus, and contain a farrago of words and j
obsolete matter, of no life to us. The i
fubdance of such parts of them as are c
applicable to the psaftice of our Courts f
of common law may eaGly be reduced t
to one ihort act 1
4. An act regulating didreffes, te- t
plevins, the recovery of rent, and to
prevent frauds by tenants. This aft e
will be compiled from sundry- parts of I t
PandMc. 2—17 C!i 2c. 7 —2W3 i

and 1 1 G 2, C 19. 5
5. An aft to prevent Frauds and , I
Pcquries .9 Ch 2, r : 3 —as our aft res- <
the atteilation of wills, agrees
in fubrtance with the statute of Frauds, i
though it differs a little in word*, it de- ]
serves consideration, whether it will not 1
be mo ft proper to repeal thai feftion in
oar law, and adopt the Englilh one, or
let our* stand and omit that of the i£ng- '
liHi Statute. The difference between
them is so small, that, I believe, we ,
have generally followed the British ad
judicatious in practice, if so it would
perhaps be mod eligible to adopt the
precise words of that Statute.
6. An aft to prevent forcible entries
and detainers; from 8 H 6, c. 9 Ji
EI, c: 11 —31 Ja: 1, c 15, and our
aft. It will be necessary that this aft
fliould vary a little from the Englilh Sta
tutes, to it more effectual, and
better adapted ji n practice.
7. An atl fciWhe limitation of civil

12. There arc parts of sundry Sta

Certiorari,< and several modern datutes
for ft 1 iking special juries, ordering views,
directing who (hall pay Cofti &c :—all
these particulars, a* they relate to the
lame fubjeft, may with propriety be
thrown together into one Aft : or ra
ther, as our Statute Book, eontains fe
veml aits on this fnbjeft, when the re
■viuon of that is takeit np, it will, per
haps, be more eligible to reduce them
all to 0111 general law, adding thereto
such feftion* of the British Statutes as
are here alluded to.
The practice of the law has afforded
matter for much popular censure and
declamation, and has often engaged the
attention of the Legislature. It is ge
nerally supposed that usneceffary forms
and delay* attend the prosecution of
civil suits, in our common Law Courts,
and it mud he acknowledged that neay
initsjicce in practice, have afforded too
much groond for fucli an opinion. The
Legislature have frequently attempted
to semedy those evils. Their efforts,
thoajjh laudable, have not always prov
ed fuccefsful. The late practice Law
isfufficient evidence of this, by aiming
at too much, it has not ooly, in a great
maafute, defeated itfelf, but hasdeilroy
cd the efficacy of prior regulations,
twhich on experience had been fr.und ve
ry beneficial in practice. Intlead of
fhbrtemng suits it has manifeftlv pro
trafted them, by authorising the frivi
lousplea in Bar, as it i* improperly caj-
r
in ftl
. I
Ed, in all cafc whatever. The amend- f<
ments in the practice of the La\v> c
made before this a£t was paficd ; in al- a
owing the Plaintiff to commence lus 1
i&ion by Suthmdns lnftead of Chpms, e
which saves the expence and delay of f<
arret, appearance, Bail, and all their 1<
L-onlcquences : in taking away, in com- a
man cafcs, the expeufive t
fume proceeding on writs enquiry p
after interlocutory judgments :in author
rising Sett-ofs in cases of mutual debts i
und dealings, and other similar improve- t
roents, had rendered the prosecution of f
Civil aflions as fiaiple, periiapsj and ei- 1
peditious as the nature of solemn forenfic b
adjudications would tfell admit: and v
every attempt te reduce them below that 1
Randard; will probably weaken p: por- v
lionably the solid basiS of rational jiiiT
prudencei and thereby lessen the ftcilri
ty of the citizen.
Alterations in the fixed and eftaWith- J
td formd of adminirtering justice ought
to be iriade with can: ion. They are
founded cn the wisdom and experience
cf ages. Innovations in practice have '
i tendency to fnal* the foundation of
fubilantial jullice, and weaken the fabric ,
of legal science: ,
Thecifential forms only, of judiciary
proceedings; ought to be regulated by t
law. The rcll ought (• be referred to i
the judgeS of the courts, who have an '
undoubted right to make luch rules and '
regulations in pra&ice, as fliafl conduce
to the great end of adroiniftaving jus*
tice, in the e.-ifieji, faftH* and in oft exft-
Jitiott: manner. They will then be ,
more immediately refpoaiibk for their -
effects to their fella w-cititnis, and their
feeling* will be interested in fetidly ad
hering to rules and regulations of tneir
awn fabi Lit ion. Hut m o» dif
fident* iu rtie judges nr.ay We hitherto
occafiened a too great 3iicfs in re
guliiiogthe piaCtice of their refpectrre
courts ; it * i", perhaps, be adviiabie for
tlve kj>fia(urc explicitly t» authorize
and drrtt then) to do- it, by requiring'
thcjujfgt* of the fupre-ne i\«<it, in rh
firtt pi:«e, to frame a .id efubinn ««om

lation! for the pra&ice of the fuprcroe
court ; to fend a copy to ewy aounty
court, the judges of which then to form
rules and regulation# f or their respective
courts, aa nearly as may be agreeable to
those of the fwpreme court ; the . ales
to be hung up publicly ip ifcc clerk's of
fice aad court-tioafe ot every couaty.

I have designedly omitted the habeas
corpus aft, 31 cli. 2, c.
from the genius • .iod circuwftances of
our government, the common law writ
of habeas carpus fetsis iuificient; Jje
caufe the federal constitution, having
expiefsly recognised its priaefpfcs, the
objefl of it will becair.c matiemal; aad
lallly, because the provijion* of that fa--
mous liatute are calculated fokly for the
meridian of Great-Britain, and, there
fore, if fu.ch a law be necefiary, it ought
to be framed to answer the Itcal pnrpo
fes of our own government.
I likewise oinit the iiatute 13. Ed. 1,
c. t. De Donit Condiiioimlums, as very
exceptionable in its policy,and as virtu
ally fuperceded by our statute barring
entail*.
The establishment of oui republican
form of government has detlroyed the
foundation of the ttatutes of sT. 8, con
cerning devises. An absolute title cr
estate in land, tlio* fti'l called a fee, or
fee Jimyie, has now become, properly
speaking, aa Allcdun'.. The owners or
proprietors of the lards of Neiu-Jerfey,
know no sovereign but the people, no
lords but themselves. They aic seized
of the foil which they poflefs, abfolulelj
and direßly, in their own right, and con
sequently, on principles of plain rational
law, as well as of the ancient common
law (before feudal tenures were known )
may dilpofe of it absolutely, or witli
such conditional limitations, as consist
with the nature of real property, and
the general interests as society. The
state can uu* be seized of land only as
a cerporate body, oracthe ultimate heir
of all its citi/ens. Dnifmg by will is
aa natural and ucceffsry an incident of
the right of property, aa convlyir.g by
deeJ, and it ia so«> as unueceffary to e
uatt a law to authorile the Allodial pro
prietor of land to transmit his estate by
as it would be to authorize him to
transfer it by deed.
The flatutcs 13 and 27 Eliz. con
cerning fraudulent fijes a.id conveyan
ces, being' only in affirmance of the
common law, enafled at a period when
the principles of tfi.it law were not so j
fully elucidated and fettled as at pie- |
feat, are now, perhaps, become unne- <
ceflary; and a fitrtila'r observation will c
apply to several other ancient flatntes. J
It is untieceflary to be particulai in their (
enumeration. I (hall only farther ob
serve, that ir. cases where the common
law has made reasonable provirion, it is
always advifabfe to attempt no altera- t
tion by llatutes, as ten dilpute* arise is j
prafttce upon the conftruftiou of (la- t
tutes, to 01 eon the common law. And, E
in adopting British iUiutes, ii will be ,
better to omit some ttf ■ ones at pre- c
sent, than to introduce ore vnnecsffcrily ; (
because they may at any time hereafter . j
be adopted .without inconvenience, I .
whereas enacting or repealing vj.lefs t
always tends to ettdangetfi and _
weaken the efficacy o(good one*.
