With respect to delay in Chao cery, he believed a gOod deal of it might be attributed to the practice amongst Chancery Banisters of running from one Court to another. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked, that with respect to what flurNihfel t ord had said regarding the .practice of Counsel practising in different Coatis, he could inform the Noble Lord that theßar were disposed 'AO acquiesce in the arrangement which he (the Lord Chancellor) intended'. to propose for doing away with that practice. With respect to the taking away the equitable jurisdiction-from theCotut of Exchequer, he (the Lord Chancellor) should . have on opportitnity of entering more fully into that subject to-morrow, but he nun observe that none of the details connected with that measure formed part of the present Bill on their Loidships' table.

The three volumes fell into the hands of the Honoorable and Kermi . t:id Archibald Campbell, and about thyear 1733, that person, wishing . to make the most of them, offered to restore them to their rightful owners upon certain terms. • These terms were the most unreasona ble imaginable. Not only was the sum he demanded extremely Isrge o . but he required also that the books . ..should be published under, his superintendance, and with the understanding that no member of the Church of • Scotland was to be suffered to revise the sheets as they passed through the press. It was of corm's. impos• Ole that the Church of .Scotland Conid accede to these -twins; and upon their refusal Mr. Campbell executed : solzie deed of trust, by which be conveyed the books to Sion College, on cmdition, es it was . supposed, that asither tbe.originals, nor a .copy of them, - should be teen by the, Church of Scotland.
