CHANCINT BILL The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the third reading of the MI for facilitating suits and other proceedings in Equity. The Earl of ELDON rose, and spoke at some length. The Noble Earl, after having read the principal clauses of the Bill, alluded to one cheese of considerable ins • pot tance respecting the often' !unctions of the Master .of the Rolls. It might be Within their Lordships knowledge that the Master of the Rolls had no jurisdic tion in matters of bankruptcy; this belonged entirely to the High Court of Chancery. It was the object, however, of this clause to alter the law in that point; and having said so much, he begged leave to call their Lordships' attention for a few moments to that clause, as imposing new duties upon the Master of the Rolls, while he (the Earl of Eldon) conceived that that person's duties were already of a nature which required all his time, and attention. Since the Bill was first brought into the House he had thought it his duty to abstain as, much as possible from any observations which might appear to throw any objections to the passing of-,the measure. But this claus-, 'which had been introduced; since the Bill was first brought before Parliament, he considered as one of consi-ierable importance. and, alit imposed duties upon the Master of the Rolls *hid' he thought would much better have been left in the hands of those on whom they had hitherto devolved, he felt himself called upon to object to that clause. That Learned Judge had invited him (the Earl of Eldon) to ,visit him in his sick room. and had authorised him to state that b.-had determined not to take neon himself any more duties than those which already appertained' 40 his office; and he could take upon hog self to say, that the Master ot the Rolls had, in accordance. with the present duties of his office, quite enough to do without the addition of any other dirties. He bad no objection Many other part of. the Bill than that to which' be had Jest alluded. The Noble and Learned - Lord bn the Woolsack had. on the second reading oft the Bill, with great ability and eloquence, entered into a minute de sail of whatever belohged 'to the Court of Chancery, historical as well as judicial. It was moat important for their Lordships to deliberate upon and decide whether justice could or could not be more speedily and satisfac. gorily executed in the Court rit Chancery than it had been, bind he thought the public were indebted to the Noble and' Learned Lord on the Woolsack for having brought for ! ward the Bill. With reference to its getiel al character, it was incumbent on the House to consider whether the duties of the Lord Chancellor, in the House and out of it, could be at present adequately performed—whether. the btisitieis of the Woolsack and that of the Coot of :Chancery. which he had performed f.•r 25 years, could be attended to with that attention which matters ofsuch. importance demUnded? The Noble and Learned Lord ,stated clearly and accurately the complaints of the de ►l.ys in the Court of Chancery. and which had existed in the times of his most distinguised predecessors, from the days of Lord Bacon down to the present time. But this he would undertake to say, chat were the . parties . who made those complaints a little more cotiversant' with tie business of that office, they would find that such delayi were frequently. if not always, unavoidable, and it was strange that those complainants had never been able to. suggest any means for potting an end to the evils of which. they complained. Their Liodships .knew that the judicial as well as the administ•ative functi ns of that Court were very heavy. particularly 'the latter, and he was sure the Noble and Learned Lord 'on the Woolsack woald.be•ar him not is this assertion. In the case of an esecutor, fur instance, who had to ad minister a personal property, when the party before in possession of it had died in debt. and which happened to be charged with simp'e contract debts, and. as was frequently the case, with judgmei t debts, the executor. in such an instance, becoming the trustee for adminis tering the estate, naturally resorted to the Court of Chancery to relieve him►elf from responsibility, and in sure his creditors justice. He wasaibliged, for his cosh comfort and security, to have such a Bill passed. In One case within his own experience the claims of up wards of one hundred creditors were to be investigated by the Court before the estate could be distributed. He (Lord Eldon) had received upon that occasion a hun dred letters, abusing him grossly for the delay which unavoidably took place, the greater part of whom were from persons in such a situation in life as not to render them objects of judicial resentment. Such occurrences were not veryfrequent. and delays were, in all such casts, unavoidable. He would take, for instance, the case of the late Marquis Queensberry. That Noble Lord had, in his life time, made a great many leases on hi. estates. The first question war, whether those leases bad not made the land subject to alienation ? After this was decided other difficulties appeared, whether those leases were good or not? And all these questions had to be decided by the Court of Scotland before the Court of Chancery had the power to distribute one shilling of the property. No person could possibly undertake to be responsible for the administration of an estate that had not been wcuad Op, frequently for a century, and the CoallecinanC . was, dm such estates were always ilitostitt into the Oath of Chancery; and under • - . . Pittances that rendered it almost - impossible • for that Court to get rid of them. ' • He' reeseinbered one .circumstance, that occurred in the time •isf. Lord Apsley ; it was an instance of , a Peeress who ais peered in Court, and, from the respect due to her rank, was accommodated with a seat on the Bench. After she had given the necessary evidence that Noble Lord said he would net detain her longer. The Lady replied that she wished to stay longer, for that she had been there eighty-two years before-in the same cause and she wished now to fee how the matter proceedeil, Those delays were often unavoidable, both in the atf-', ministrative and executive Winches* of the Court of' Chancery. Lord Kenyon, whotad been practising all his life in the Court of Chancerf,ifler he was advanced to the office of Chief Justice, wis fh the habit of send ing suits to Chancery in cases of difficulty, and used frequently to use the words, el What do •you do here, e6i in pedant rem ?"—(A lass h.) Tne Noble Earl next, f proceeded to vindicate the' lir % iii Chancery from aspersions that had been theet elan them. He had frequently sat together with thief is:elluity,' and-he felt it to be a duty which he owed In the Nliisters.in,Chan cery to state that, during his 46 .yearCexperience, he had never found a body of men who were more eapia bled performing their duty, or more' sealousin the discharge. of it. Lie never. w bile hOlea'a ois the.benchi knew of a Mister- of the Rolls reftssieg to sit for the totate.ncellor, and he might mesons. e to call upon his' le Friend Opposite (Lord Redesdale) to corm : borate' hie assertion, that, in their younger days, they had frequently advocated causes before the Master of the Rolls till three or four in the morning, and often until day-light. The idea of making the:Court of Ex chequer an effective Equity Court had led to several of the more recent appointments which had taken place in that Court. It had led many of the Puisne Judges to the appointment of Chief Barons I.f Exchequer, and if his (Lord Eldon's) efforts had not tailed, it would 'have led to the appointment of a Gentleman who then sat at their Lordships table—(we understood the Noble Earl to anode to Mr. Courts nay)—who, instead of be ing where be now was. would be much more suitably placed as Baron in the Court of Exchequer, and of whom he would take the liberty rf saying, that there was net a more able and learned Gentleman at the bar, or one better suited for that important office—(Hear). The universal desire to throw, or as it had been el pressed, to heave, all kinds of property into Chancery. had made that Court an efficiaa of litigation upon such subjects, and he could &gum that he bad himself had' more trouble with judgments connected with the admi nistration of railways. canal, and other property of that .nature, than most of his predecessors had from the re gular and acknowledged business of the Collet. Another cause of the delays which existed was the transfer to the House of Lords in this country of the appeals which used to be heard by the House of Lords in Ireland before the Union; and he was sure that when the Noble and Learned Lord upon the woolsack should have spent forty years in his' present situation, he would discover that, from the very inaccurate manner in which Irhb pleadings were drawn, more troutile was produced in deciding one Irish than furry Englials appeals. These circumstances, with the increase of up; eels from S:ot land, had contributed in a west depiee to aggravate 'i.e tells of delay, and had also the effect.ot preventing the Lord. Chancellor front sitting in his own Court as often as was desirable; and he (Lord Eldon) would take upon him to say, that any man who sat only three days call)* sleek in the Court of Chancery was not fit to exercise the appellate jurrsdict on in the House of Lords. With regard to the present Bill, he thought it ought not to be brought fora and until the House was .somewhat better acquainted with the ulterior measures which were to be adopted. Hr thought that before they proceeded to appoint a new Judge, they ought to ascertain and define the name et his duties. With re. gard to taking the equitable jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer, nothiiig could be more injurious. It. in , oint of fact. could not be done. Fur the last fifty years it was understood to be part of the duty of the Lord Chancellor to take care that there should be placed in that Court a Judge acquainted with the practice of the Courts of Equity. The first instance of a separate equitable jurisdiction having been conferred upon a Judge of that Court was the case of tie Lord Chief Baron Richards; and the ground upon which it had been done was, that the other Judges of that Court were so much engaged with business of another kind, that it was not possible for them sufficiently as attend to the equitable part cf their jurisdiction. , -- Of the' consequences of taking away this jurisdiction he had already expressed his ' pinion ; and the Learned p-rson oho at present presided in that Court had in fact that morning presented to him (Lord Eldon) a written statement of the formidable consequences which would follow from such a proceeding. The Chief Baron asserted that the very threat to put an end to the ecriii table jurisdiction of that Court bad, in fact, pit an end to it, as the persons who - practised to that Court had deteimined to bring no more business of that kind into the Court, and the Chief Baron himself had expressed [ hi., detrzmination to clear off the remanets, but not to proceed with any new causes of that sort. The come quence of that would be that the Court of Exchequer, ' continuing to possess an equitable jurisdiction in Crown cases, would soon cease to have upon its bench any Judge acquainted with the principles or practice of 1 Equity. He (Lord Eldon) had no objection to the 4ppointenent of a new Judge, but he objected to his being appointed upon the plan suggested by this Bill. He did not mean to insinuate that the persons engaged in'bringing forward this measure were influenced by any improper motives. But he could not help asking why it was brought forward at the dawn of the long vaca tion, at a period when the Courts of Justice were going to . suspend their functions? It was known to some of their Lordships that the Master of the Rolls, by the constitution of his office, had no jurisdiction in bank ruptcy, and the new Judge to be appointed under this Bill, being placed upon the same footing as the Master of the-Rolls, could not afford any relief to the Lord Chancellor in this important and extensive department: And here he could not help doing justice to the ability which was usually displayed by the Commissioners' of . Bankrupts in London. The case of the country Com missioners was ,clifferent. When be was Lord Chan cellor he had frequent applications from Noble Lords and others, requesting that particular persons may be allowed to perform the functions of Commissioners of Binkrupt io the country, but he had invariably reftued to appoint any until he was satisfied of their respecta bility, and when be bad any doubts upon the point he . • . .. • always applied to the Judges of . Ass:ze. A Commission had been-appointed to investigate tettiin subjects con nected-With the administration of justice in Chancery, and they were undoubtedly men of great industry, ability, and experience. It was, however, rather strange that in the inquiries which they were pursuing they had not subpoenaed a single Judge. He should sug gest that the person to be appointed to the new office, or the Vice-Chancellor, should exercise an appellate jurisdiction from the decisions of the Commissioners , f _ Bankrupts, and it might be desirable if in some case. there were no ulterior appeal. - as the espeneefro t double appeal was in many eases greater than the oil ginal 'abject of litigation. The Noble and. Learned Earl. in conclusiob. expressed a desire to know morsel the Bill before it should pass into a law. . The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that Lot 1 Eldon had not Riven his opinion upon the subject until the Nit stage of the Bill. He regretted that the Noble and Learned Lord had not stated his sentiments at the second reading. when he (the Lord Chancellor) entered at length into the details of the meature and its mode. of operation, as well' as into the causes which shOwed the necessity of the measure itself. - The elect of his deferring the statement of his opisiont till .tow rendered it ,necessary :for hits (Lord Lyndhurst) sotto repeat the decalitre:Welt he hid • formetly ptoduced, but only to 'refer to them, e* to point out the objects of the BA. He agreed that tire object of the Rill wa s. mast impor tant, ot, swine toriectly speaking, that the sti ject to which the Bill related. was of the utmost importance to the people of this country. The Earl of Eldon had entered into a minute retail of the course of proceedings in the Counts of Equity. In many of the observations made by Lord Eldon he (Lord Lyndhurst) fully acreed; and, judging from the nature and objects of a Court of Equity, he thought it perfectly iidiculcus to compare the progress of a suit in equity with one at common law. Lord Eldon had alluded to the Chancery Com mission, and be (the Lord Chancellor) could say that the Learned Person who had filled the Chair of that _ Commission was as fully qualified to discharge_the duties of the office at any man that had ever existed. in this country. He alluded to the present Master of _Ole Rolls. The object of the Commissioners was one of great importance. It was principally to accelerate the progress of a cause from its commencement to the heir., ing. All persons who knew the Court of Chancery •" knew that the greatest delays which occurred in the Court of Chancery took place in that period. To this object the attention of the Commissioners had been prin cipally directed, and the result of their labours 'bad been the drawing up of a series of orders, in a view to prevent the delays which took place in that part of the suit. if the Learned Lord would li ok into these orders, and apply to their examination the learning, talents, and experience • hich he possessed, be would find - that the orders had achieved the object as far as it eras possitslein the nature_of the circumstances to effect it. For the last twenty years the re had elapsed on an average eighteen months between the commence. ment cf a suit arid the hearing, and this not in the ad ministrative faits of which Lord Eldon had spoken, but In the ordinary litigation of the Court. And was not this art evil of such magnitude as to call for a remedy? According .to the practice • f the common law, in 18 months the whole case would be decided and at an end; I sat in a suit in e.,uity there were flee or six stages, and the same delay to 4 ;lice in each. He slicrolsi ask their Lordships, as men of reason and cominne sense. whether thir was not an evil of the most mon.trows de scription? and when the question was, whether or no they would give 6 0001. a year to a hew Judge, for the purpose of relieving the country from ,itch a state of affairs, they could not for a moment hesitate in making such a grant for such an object. To illustrate the evils reinliing from this delay, it was not ne.essai y for him to search into the records of the Court of Chancery. He should only mention a case which had occurred Vat morning in Court—the case of Priornier v. Payne. .In that case, the Bill was filed in 1820. These was in 1822 a reference to the Master, who, in 1i.24, :snide a 'report, which was excepted to. The exceptions were entered for' argument, but not heated for two years after, when the exceptions were allow.d, and the report Overruled. An, appeal was then , lodged. The appeal was set down for heating. It war beard in the year 1828 ; and now 'the case is set down again for a re-hearing of the appeal. Tnis case aas an acci. dental illustration of the ruinous delays which tosiik place under the present system. The Noble Eat!, , for sehroe great experience and profound knowledge or the law he (the Loud Chancellor) entertained the highest opipion, had correctly inhumed their Loidships that'he had called upon him, for the purpose of statingthe evils which existed, and consulting him as to the best means of remedying them. The L. rd Chancellor suggested the probability of doing something with the C.** of Exchequer, but Lord Eldon said that' the*.best • plan would be to appoint an additional Judge in the Court of Chancery. He was sure that the, Noble aid Learned Loud would recollect the fact on its being brhught to bit memory. If then, the evil was so great, was it not time to endeavour to remedy it ? If the court, by its present constitution. had not the power to hear causes when ripe for hearing, was it:not necessary to:give it die power of doing w? If they wanted to have more causes decided .by the Court • of Chancery they must give it more. Judges. Lord Itedesdale had said that something may be done amongst the COCOA who practised in both Counts. He (the Lotd Chancellor) thought it due lb them to say that, although they had a pecuniary. interest in the contiouaoce of the present system. yet they had immediately and cheerfulky ficS. quiesced in the preposition which he_liad made of con, Going themselves to separate.Couits. With regard to the observations which the Earl of Eldon had made upon the Court of Exchequer he (the Lord Chan. Mho) thought them irrelevant to the present' subject,... —He did not wish to mix the Court of Etchearter with the present question. If the Court of , Xtchequet ',had - no existence he should not the less bring forward the present measure. The Noble and Learned 4irl had alluded to the jurisdiction in bifkruptcy, and he (toe Lord Chancellor) agreed with WI le thinking that . tita separation of it from the great seal troOld produce • no mitigation of the evil, and. that the system under such a change, if it could be effected, would be more mischievous and rninous.end neither less expensive nor more effectual. The Noble'and Learned Earl had tug sewed the propriety of giving the new Judge an ap pellate jurisdiction in cases of bankruptcy, bat be (Loed . Lyndhurst). was of opinion thatthe best plan would to confinepte butioestof bankruptcj to the Vsce Chafe. E • {{{~~ •~ F , :. 4 1. 41 t
