He feared that if the Petition were sent to a Committee it would occasion too greet • delay ; he should therefore on Thursday nest, move for leave to bring i►► a Bill for the redress of the grievances of which the Petitioners complainvd Mr. CURWEN was pleased to see that the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) intended to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion. It was necessary that some thing should be done with the Petition, as at present there was match confusion created among the Pro prietors of mensesetories, as they aid sot well know what line of conduct to purser. Mr. LyrrEuros gave notice that he would, on Tuesday, the 3d of March, lay before the House cer tain Resolutions concerning the Lottery.

He stated to the House that he ryas totilty ignorant of the truth of the allegationacontained in the ilet.tion, het he Clooght au enquiry lute the matter was ne cessary. The Petition was read, and stated that the Peti. tioners were the representativn of ..-- Dubois and others, who weir, previous to the late Revolution in France, creditors of the French"Governmenc to an immense amount. • That at the COntention of 1815 it WO been arranged that their claim was to he se. (prided to, but since that period they bad not receiv ed • single shilling of what was dee to them. The Petition concluded by preying the interference of the House in their case.--Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Mr. M. ANGELO TAYLOR. begged the atten tion of the House to the consideration of the very important ssbject of which he had gi►en notice fur that day. It was impossible but that the House should feel.the necessity of that consideration, when it was recollected that the evil which it was his ob- jest to redress, excluded from the ordinary Admini stration of Execrative Justice four Counties in Eng land. it most be acknowledged that such an evil called for amendment, and it was ender the impres sion of its magnitude that he called for the support of the House in procuring that amendment. In all the other counties of England Commissions of General Jail - Delivery and Nisi Pr•ias were held twice every year; in Ireland they were held twice; in the Prin cipality of Wales twice; in Scotland twice, and even in that country, on extraordinary occasions, prison ers were brought up for trial to the High Court at Edinburgh. The counties of Durham. Northum berland, Westmorland, and Cumberland, with the, County end Town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, form ed the sole exception in the United Empire. On what principle an evil, thus impeding the administra tion of justice, was so long continued, he was wholly at a loss to account. Their population was eaten sis° end increasing; they... Contained within them large trading and commercial towns, enjoying an in• tercoorse with every pert of the world. He feared that they could not chain a greater exemp tiou from the commission of offences , then the ethic counties of England, and the'rifore irises, that they ought to paws° equal advantages in the speedy ad ministration of justice. There were persons now 'confined in thw prisons of these counties whbse trials, would be pottponed t not to the Spring, hat to the • • V age The Civil Ceases in these counties were net trivial either iw'nensber or form. in Durham Alone, at the Ihet Codivnission of Nisi Pries, there were filly causes . On the list. If the accounts that he hold some dar. ego moved f or were on t h e ta bl e, t he Iloesw•wOud feel that the evils arising from an obstruction to . jus dieial business was progressive every year. Even is She oftticiry proceedings of an ejectment beliees landlord and tenant, an interval of three years, would - elapse before the landlord would be in possession of , his property. It might be said, wler bed not repre. orotatioes been made by the parties suriesed ? The 411111•11*, elff, that :Bole who felt that grievance moat soveretrwere either disloclinedby the berry of other IMAM*, or the anxiety to return to their private Parreiti ; such, for example, was tie case with Grand Juries. The prisoners themselves' could be expected to do 'little. They might apply to the Secretary of Ste , - for the flume Depart ment on their indiiiidual sufferings. lie would 1 Pifer them to the ordinary tribunals, or they might slyest to that House by petition. What chance of correction had they he r e, un l ess us prayer was backed byliigh authority. The House should remember hoW little alive men in general were to those ordinary im pediments of justice. There must be some specific I suffering to attract public consideration. Men most writhe ender the sense of the pain before they are aroused to complaint; and indeed; iii many in stances, they feel the pressure without thinking of "plying for the remedy. What a number of years were suffered to elapse before ens step was takers to ellatedy the evils arising from the system of our Ap peal Causes, and the delays in the Court of Chancery. Every man felt the injury the administration of Julioe sustained in Ohs. point 4, yet' how long had Met subject slept, until t e had the honour of first in teodecing a specific proposition in amendment to the consideration of that House.. lie felt it was urine -1 oassary to state more at present to the House, in order to induce it to take steps for correcting so gross lan coil. The great question was, as to the remedy. ,It was impossible, after a system of abase had for , years coniitided, not to feel every step in your per suit of correction surrounded with difficulties. Bet ; io looking for a practical remedy, he hail first to re. quest the House to l'ent'l on the great increase in oar population, egricolture, and commerce since the 1 'vigil Of Etizsbeth, and tfien to ask itself whether, if twelveJodges were then necessary the to administration of Public Justice, some relief ought not to be now aillogilled to the urines Coverts of Lew, in the dis ' pont of tl.e vest increase of public duty that had since taken uho e Ile would not uillingly destroy the efficacy of the charm which some might think esisted hi the term of the T we! ye Judges,alitioush he denied that suds a coneitution of ti , n Judicial Courts was obsolete. The lkii. Member then reviewed the hßrowing business for souls years past in the Courts at Westminster, arid the necessity butts in the King's Ben; h, and the justi fi cation of bail, and i n the Esche quer, iris its equity side, to make recent legislative enectr.;eitts fir the relief of these Courts. It .was a lamentaSle fact, that the Sessioris as the Old Bailey, Which in former times commenced every eight weeks, on a Wednesday, and terminated on the succeeding Saturday, now lasted on the alerage for a fortnight, while there were instances of longer duration, and of the Recorder and Common Ssrjerrot, to whom the business, from the necessary absence of the Judges, at one time devolved, arid who were most active and nesilent Magistrates, being obliged, to call in the aid of the Chairman of Middlesex, on the trial of Traverses. The Crown, by virtue of its presogritire, could direct Commissions of Jail Delivery to be held, bet w ii hout a lesislativeenaci meat, f r ens the attendant expense, Commissions of Assize and Nisi Prius triplet not be directed, as no persons, could be ap pointed below the rank of a Serjeant at IA w. It must be in that House, thr rt fore, the Bill must ea. gioate, as it was a Money Bill. Ile would now pro. coed to state the plan which ',mitred to I,im a. the most feasible, with a view to furnish the means of remedying the evil in question. There was an officer in the Court of Eschequer called the Coritor Baron. The present Cursitor Baron, ilsron Al iseres, was a sound lawyer, arid a man of grest science.—[llear, laear!]—liis situation, however, was one that af forded him considerable leisure, in proof of which it was enough to state, that he had for a time acted es Deputy Recorder of London. In fact all he had to do was, when the Exchequer Barons came into the Court to be sworn in, to make a handsome bow to them arid retire. What he (Mr. T.) proposed was, to make this office effective—to make the Cursitor Baton of the Exchequer forthcoming (if he might so express himself), to take his turn for the Assizes, and to take the roster at the Old Bailey. For these duties he might be allowed an additional salary of three thousand pounds, - .and the arrangement would afford a substantial relief to the Judges. He had -smother proposition to Mike. Last year a Bill pissed so enable one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench to hold a Court by himself, for hearing the justification of bail. It might be proper to have a Curator Judge of the Court of King's 13 !oche who should take the whole of the bail daring Term, and be, in fact, an effective ledge for the Old Bailey, for Nisi Prier, sod the Assizes, though not in bloc. As it weer the Term by no means afforded rime suffi cient for the business which was to be got through, and the Judges were compelled to r,sort to a satiety of expedient's to supply the deficiency, so that the as: sistence of these two persons would be highly vale able to them.

' 'Qt _ 4 . ,mean , to say, OM after due conalitehtlen siigfß deeme4 advisable to adopt some arrangement, by which the four Norttirrn Comities might he put ott the same foot' tut as the rest of the kingdom, but he could ri''' consent to the hasty proposition of his Honourable and Learned Friend ; and he should therefore move the previous quistion. Sir C. MONCK tho 'glut the, honourable end Learned Gentleman could not„ have understood the nature of his Hoe. and Learnefl.fritosraipeosasmir tion. His hoe. andteirned Friend had not argued that there was any sudden occasion fur a departure from the established law and usage of the land ; he hail only stated what was notorious to every body, the grievances under which the four Northern Comi ties had bug laboured. The purity of pis ice its F:egland was the theme of general and jest admire tint, ; bat it should not be forgotten, that prompti tude was an essential part of the administration of justice. The inhabitants of the 'Northern Counties s ;tiered sufficient inconvenience in other respects its con.equence of their distance from the metropolis, •ithoet the disadvantage in question. Why should not the Ass:zes be es freqeent in those counties as in Cornwall, which was as distant front London ? So far was he from agreeing with the Attorney-General that his honourable and Learned Friend's proposi. tion was too great a departure from the ordinary course ..f the administration of justice, that be wish ed that proposition ha,: teen more simple anti direct. He wished it had been merely to address the Prisms Regent to extend the usual Assise Commivion in spring to the Northern Counties, which was now confined to York and laucaster. ,When be recol4 1 )(vied, how easily the house had the other eveniing voted 400,0001. to , purchase the Abolition of the Sieve Trade from Spoilt, he could not • believe that they would hesitate io granting the trifling sum that would be necessary in order to defray the espence of communicating to the four Northern Counties the blessings of 'quid justice ; and he thought that if they agreed to the previous question moved by the lion. and Learned Gent. opposite, they would be guilty of a gross dereliction of duty. .Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the ob jection to the motion was, that the Bosse could not be suddenly prepared to venture on an Address to the Crown, which must of necessity occasion a very extensive change in the composition of all the Courti in Westminster-Hall. For one, he (Lord Castle reagh) felt ;site incompetent to determine on the probable advantages or disadvantages of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's plan ; end he apprehended that the House at large must be pretty much in the same situstiou. He imagined that the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had attained the object he had in view, namely, calling the .akeetion of the Hoes. to the subject. On the importance of it he by no means differed from him. It was certainly es tremely desirable, that all the inhabitants of the kingdom abOuld equally enjoy the benefits of the administration of justice ; bat to decide on the beet mode of effectiag this benefit, required more Woe.. motion thin the House at present possessed. If the 110‘ourable and Learned Gentleman had moved for no enquiry, as in the cue of %Video, be should have had no objection to the ploposition—f Hear, hear 1 .1, —but be was fur jumping to the cuoclesion •at-this very onset.
