Mr. arcu, (whig) of Erie, moved to amend the 92h Arewon, BO BA to require tne comp sisant to give ‘the facts upon which hie belief is founded”? when he solicits awarrant. Mr H, deemed this amendment necessary. Without it the magistra‘e may be compelied to issue a varrant upon insufficient proof—proof that would aot be deemed sufficient to justify the issue of = warrant ina care of the simplest misdemeanor. Mr. D. P. Woop, (hig) of Onondaga, thought some smecdment to this section was necessary; aod this amendment was gool fo far as it weat, bat it dic not go far erough.

The facts might be given, and yet the jastice not be ratisfied of the sufficiency of thore facts.
