appointed chief justice and your committee have taken into consider ation how far the acceptance of that oihoe vacated his seat in vour honorable house there is nothing in the 31st geo 3rd chap 31 declaring the vacancy of a seat by accepting the oftiee of chief justice it appears however from the above act that persons may be disqualified by any act of the proviucial legislature assented to by his majesty and therefore the question how far the acceptance of the chief justice ship vacatedmr robinsons seat may be answerad from the laws enacted or adopt ed by that legislature by 32 geo 3 c 1 it is provided that from and after the passing of this act in all matters of controversy relative to property and civil rights resort shall be had to the laws of england as the rale for the deci sion

appears that such law can be the only guide uder t life and property ars every day sacrific ed or protected it is only by virtue of this generil adoption of the english law that cml tights cau be maintained or defended in this country and it woi j be botli most mischievous and unlawful to assume that power any where oxistod of selecting par ticular parts out of the whole and arbitrari ly rej3ig tho rest such a latitude would amount to a paer istua short of legislation and create a fearful sats of uncertainty in the lav tho terms of the statute 82nd geo iii eh i are comprehensive had

summoned to the legislative council but it was subsequent to the date of the alleged election for the town of york an unfavorable inference might be at tempted to be drawn from 39 geo 3ch4 but a whole
