All E ng l an d k new i t to be true, that the greatest expenses were incurred in property to the amount of £3,700, but not till after he had paid expenses amounting to £3,000.

Ile would , been asked what was to be done With the office of FEES IN IRISH COURTS OF JUSTICE. Lord DONOUGHMORE had been compelled to trouble the House on this occasion, as no other No ble Lord seemed inclined to address the House on the subject. The Bill had passed the other House without any discussion, and was likely to have done so in that House also. He had presented a Petition against the Bill from the Attornies and Solicitors of Dublin, and also from two individuals of the names of Babington and Finn, complaining of the injury they would sustain should the Bill pass into a law. The Bill made a great alteration in the law, and should have received grave and much discussion, as it was a measure of Government. The Commis sioners were no doubt highly respectable men, but he could not believe it was intended that they should alter the whole of the law of the land. He should move, that the opinion of the Judges on the Reports of the Commissioners be laid on the table. It was a Bill for taking away fees altogether, and substituting fixed salaries in their room. No alteration had taken place in the Court of Chancery, and he was confi dent the case would be the same in the Courts of Law. He objected to doing away the old system of fees to Officers who did their duty ; and if extortion should be practised there was a power to punish it in the hands of the Judges. He called on the Noble Secretary of State for the Home Department to ex plain why he had allowed persons to remain in their situations whose misconduct had made the present Bill necessary? An estimate on the subject of the compensations should be laid before Parliament, and not remain in the breast of the Commissioners. The amount of the salaries to those who did their duty was £15,000, and to those who did not was £45,000. The Irish Judges had objected to the principle of the Bill, and all that was wanted was the same mode of administering justice as in this country. It was not a mere Irish question, but affecting the empire at large. He should move for copies of all communi cations between the Right Hon. C. Grant, and the Judges of Law and Equity in the Courts of Ireland, relative to the Report of the Commissioners. Lord SIDMOUTH said, that the Noble Lord, though he knew there was no objection to his motion, had addressed the House on points that were not before them. The object of the measure was to fix a salary in lieu of fees, enormous in their amount and indefinite in their nature. Had there been any Re port before the House, he thought the principle of the Bill could not be objected to. He believed the Repot would be laid on the table on Friday, but even if not, he should then move the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of LIMERICK thanked the Ministers of the Crown for their constant attention to the affairs of Ireland. Many documents on the subject had been on the table of the House, and he had himself moved for the production and the printing of five Reports. The Noble Lord cited the case of in dividuals whose misconduct had been the cause of the present measure. The Marquis of LANSDOWN hoped- the attend ance on the second reading of the Bill would be dif ferent from what it was at present. He thought that from the Report on the table it appeared there was an indispensable necessity for such a measure, and hoped it would pass in the present Session. It would be unpardonable in the Legislature not to extend that protection to suitors which they could have from no other quarter. At the suggestion of Lord SIDNIOIMI, the motion was altered to include the correspondence between the Irish Government (instead of the Secretai y for Ireland) and the Judges, relative to the Reports.— The second reading was then fixed for Friday, to which day the House.adjourned.
