Lord CAWDOR wished to take that opportunity of al. vetting to a latter, which probably their lordships had Ken, that he had published on the subject of the Welch Judicature, and to some observations there given. He had been charged in a periodical pub lication (the Quarterly aview, we believe) with having unstated certain facts Butte matt have known, or ought to have known, at the time. It was, he said, a very painful subject to address then lordships upon, but he felt i t justice to himself to say a few word, upon the subject.—..(Hear.) The noble earl then proceeded to no tice a return which had been moved for by himself, as to the pa} - ment of moneys into the hands of the Accountant-General's Offi. e (but on what account we could not hear below the bar,) to which the return was wihil. It, however, happened that euhrequently discovery was made that sonic sums had been paid into the .%e.. countant-General's Office. and which he had not notietni in i letter. After some additional remarks, which were imptrf.ctl; heard below the bor, the noble earl said he wo u ld n et truubh tl. • bouse with any far ther observations on the subject. The Earl of ELDON said, that on the subject of the %I - clot Judicature he differed front the noble earl who had just dowlt some particulars. He t lewd Eldon)) considered it would be a great hardship on the inhabitants of NVaks if their equity courts were taken away. During the twenty-five years he had the honour of holding the great seals, he only recollected one case of an appe.it from' the courts of equity in 'dales to the House of Lords, and in that case the decision of the inferior court was confirmed. The sub ject relating to the meditated alteration required great oonsideratio:.. It was an important alteration, and should be maturely examine!. He was fully persuaded that if the equitable jurisdiction were de stroyed great mischief would be done. Lord DYNEVOR then pr‘sented petitions of a similar deset:p. tion—vis. against any alteration in the Welsh judicature—from the town of Carmarthen. tiom Cardigan, and another place. Lord CAWDOR presented petitions of an opposite na ture from several places in Wales, in favour of the proposed altera dons.

Viscount MELVILLE presented a petition from the incorpo. rated merchants of Edinburgh, praying a free trade to India and ' China. TWICE/lA.—LAW tomcats' ofixtoors. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—My lords, `` the noble duke at the bud of his majesty ' s government in his place, 1 t v!.h to put a question to him, before dander of the day is read for the motion of which the noble a ear u li i ir s =as , given notice. When I the affairs of Portugal were the noble duke said. in to the fring at Tesseims drat the law officers of the aewn did not consider that as a violation of the laws of nations. Now my lords, I wish to Flew whether that opinion of the noble duke was founded on any of document in the pos session of government; and, if so, whether there be any objection to lay it before the house of parliament ? The Duke of WELLINGTON admitted that his assertion was ed on the opinions of the law officer, of the crown, but said saw the invariable practice not to lay those opinions before the house. Lead HOLLAND-1f there are any papers upon which the law officers of the crown have recorded their opinions, my lards, and supposing there are, if it be the invariable practice of mhtisuirs not to give them to parliament, it is also the invariable practice' of every minister not to quote them. I really do not understand this inva riable pracece of which the noble duke speaks. What, my lords. are the ministers to come down t o thi s h ouse , w i t h opinions founded upon official documents, and not give us the papers upon which those assertions ate founded ? But we have an instance to the con trary: I will give one in the recollection of the noble duke himself. When a noble lord was secretary of state, I mean my Lord Old. mouth, who is not now in his place in the house, he thoughtproper to issue a circular—it Is eight or nine years ago—founded upon the opinions of - the law caws of the crown, and, when called upon to give an explanation respecting the course that he took, he laid upse your lordships' table the , opinions of the attorney and solicitor gaessals. The document for which the noble marquis had a.kcd ante either to be before the house, melee it ought not to have been quad as an autharty. The of WELLIN GTO N said that the government was respeemble id their own acts. " What I have said, my lords," mid* the aslii dike, " respecting withholding the dot:lament to which alludes has been made, there are noble lords in this house who well know the yracdce to be such as I have stated in similar case& It is not, my lords, the practice to give up the opinion o f the law officers of the crown." The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of ELDON then rose ; the latter gave way. The LORD CHAN CELLOR—" My lords, when I had the honour of being Solicitor and Attomer-General, my opinions were given on legal points upon subjects which his ntsjenty's tnirristers consulted me on; and, although no case occurred in which INK: opinions so given were sought to be laid before rsaiscatent, yet I have always understood the practice to be rot to have them die. elrwvi The opinions of the law officers of the crown are'conti. dential opinions; and ought not to be produced. With raper! to the particular case to which my roble friend (Lord Holland) has alluded, according to my recollection it was the voluntary act of the noble lord who was then the fiectetary of State for the Home De. partment. He communicated these opinions for the purpose of in. forming the public, but not in consequence of any b.pplication to this hostse on the subjee;." Lord HOLLAND—" lily lords, theo I am to understa n d f rom the noble and learned lord that the opinions of the law officers of the crown may be cemmtudeated to the public, but not to parlia ment ? It would mean from such a pumice that the only chance of having the legal opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General before ParliAment was to have them first communicated to the pub. lie and all Europe. I hope that the noble marquis will move for the pap. rs, and then we shall have an opportunity of dizcitsii:g the point at issue." The Earl of ELDON—" My don's, about thirty years *pi 1 had the honour of being Atterney.tieneral; and I do know that the practice was then not to lay before Parliament the opinions of the law ofiicen of the Crown upon matters of this nature. I remember well hearing that when Sit Pletcher Macon was Attorney.fhneral, in conseqamer of some such application being madefor his opinion, that he declared he would never give a written opinion again.—( laugh.) Should these rapers he moved for, i, for one, my lords, will Tote against their production. B ut at t h e same ag., l'rflUist say that, if those opinions are not to be produced, they should MR be quoted from. (here, bear.) Ido hope.that the papers will r.l t be moved for." • INTEINAL STATE OF THE COVET'S% Earl STANHOPE rose, and said that, in submitting to the eon.
