IRISH JOINT TENANCY BILL. The Marquess of LANSDOWN moved that this Bill be committed. At the-same time he thought it necessary to 'weatil some remarks with a view of correcting a great error that had gone o v mad respecting the nature and object of it. It was suppose.' that the Bili weetto disfranebise a great number of freeholders in Ireland. Now be could aware the House, that it wbuld not take away a single right of voting from any Individual in fretted, nor would it take away wren the fraction of a vote. The Bill was then committed, and ordered to be reported *Gro 'TH w. ES OF E CROWN LAND AND PEACE IN IRE - ... . • ' This Iltarquess of LANSDOWN moved thst the Irish Grand Jury Bill be committed. He would take that oppom *salty of noticing some objections that had been made to It by a.liroble Friend of his, who was then absent —This Bill 'tied been Ltrodueell into Parliament last year. and had been three months under the Consideration of the other Muse. it had been agreed to ak a meeting of all the Irish Members of AIR Mouse. One greet object of it was, to fix tee salaries of Clerks of the Peace and Clerks of the Crown in Ireland, instead of allowing Grand Juries to grant them remuneration by levying money on the people. It was in- I traded to take away this power from lite Oraud Juries, which 'they had derived from I Acts of Parliament. These Acts empozered Grand Juries to grant fees, and en der that system the most unequal remunerations took plate.. itlany of tbe. Duties w e re performed by ^Deputies tied many .Clerks of. the Peace had received remunerations so large. Aq to be equal to that of the Lord Chief Jostles, of friennit. Out of forty %Clerks of the Peace, ten only bad objected to the provision of this Bill ; the others were sada d with the Bit! as it now .stooe. Only ten petitioned, and' their Lord.hips must be convinced that the majority of the _Clerks were satisfied. The emoluments of these Clerks weredaken from the poorest and most distressed tenantry of Ireland ; and the proposition now made was to allow a fair salary to these persons. fie saw the petition of the Clerks, and he saw nothing in it that could hold out the slighest pretence of their having a vested interest in their fens or emoluments. Whatever fees they took were derived. solely from the astliority of an Act of Parliament, which did not create any vested interest, and the parties had no sight to come before that House to claim these emoluments as vested interests. It was concluded by the Members of .the other. House of Parliament that the provisions of the present Bill gave a fair and adequate remuneration to the Irish Clerks of the Peace and the Crown. The Earl of DONOUGH MORE said it had been thought St to apply to the other House for information on this Bill, l and no answer whatever was given, to the application.— ,Their Lordships had not since bad soy information on it.-- H a knew it was not true, that the majority of the Clerks of the Peace in Ireland were satisfied with this measure ; on the contrary they all considered it as likely to be moat injurious to their interests. Now as he thought their Lordships were ' not sufficiently acqualuted with the nature of this m he hoped they would grant a little time for allowing It to be Wien int, consideration. Here the Noble Earl quoted the opinion of a Counsel declaring that the Clerks of the Peace Ireland had a vested interest in their fees and emolument,. Jfe also quoted some Acts of Parliament to prows the same porot: Ile thought the Bill an excellent one, because It cur t iled the mischievous power of the Grand Juries of Ire ., land. He atlaiireil the Bill as coming from the Honour able Baronet in'the other Honer, who had formed such. .correct notions on all subjects; hot he wished that time 'might be allowed to enable their Lordshiprto see Wise 'thee the part of the Bill to which lie alluded be just or not. It seemed that the Homer of Commons wonld not I.ave eny,suggestion on this Bill, or allow any alterations to be made in it, because it was one of those which came tinder the description of Money Bills. His Lordship now proceeded to point out several inconsistencies in the pro visions by which the salaries of clerks in several counties were fixed to specific sums; and, in order to show the ab soi iity of the measure, the emoluments of the Clerks of the Crown were increased, while those of the Clerks of the Peace, who had a great deal more duty to perform, were curtailed. He did not want to postpone this Bill ;to deaf Session, nor to throw it out, but to allow time to teas egittence respecting the claims and the duties of the ' coral Lining Parties. This Bill also interfered with the fres of Sherilts, and if it passed, it would not be worth any hswan's observations t the Noble Lord moved that the Com seittee on the Bill be put off till Monday next. The Earl - of LIMERICK contended that the present state of Ireland called for the adoption of this measure; 'for the system of Grand Juries in that unfortunate coun try was one of the chief causes of the evils and outrages that took place there. Within a few months past a Clerk -of the Peace in one county made presentments to the amount of 600 f. for extra ditties in carrying on proem rims against disturbers of the public peace ; and it was nAretsary to make some provision for checking the power of Gland Juries in complying with such enormous de n:ends as those. Lord LORTON objected to that part of the Bill, which went to curtail the emoluments of the Clerks of the • Peace. The Earl of GOSFORD observed, that the Clerks of the Pima*, and the Clerks of the Crown were put to great expense, . and their emoluments ought not to be curtailed too much. But he approved of the principle of the Bill ; and would support it, provided an Act were in troduced next Session for regulating the salaries of those persons. The Marquess of LANSDOWN said, lie hail no objec tion to the suggestion of the Noble Earl ; and he should be ready to support any Bill brought beat Session which 'should go to regnlete the whole of this system in Ireland/ and place it on a proper footing. • The Earl of DUNOUOHMORE replied, that this was • a bed and unjust Bill, and ought not to pass in thesbape in which the grandees of the House of Commons had drag n it out. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not pretend to possess any local knowledge of Ireland, nor to now whether the aviaries proposed in this Bill were adequate or deg cleat. But the object of this Bill was as take away' .frost Irish Grand Juries the power they possessed of giv ing away the public money. The principle of the Bill was correct, and hr thought it ought to pass over with its present imperfecionr, whitit might be remedied in the next Svssion. It was possible that the Clerks of the Peace might have a vested interest in their places, bat • they certainly could not have any in the amount of their . fees and emoluments: "and these it was in the power of Parliament to regulat He had no objection to the post . p 'Dement of this iiill until Monday, saw to give those who petitioned against it an opportunity of being heard' :it tile b kr. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the parties were entitled to be heard at the bar on the question, whether they bad a vested interest or not. if it should . turn out that they had no rested rights, it was stilt proper to bear what they bad to allege. Lord REDESOA LE said the principle of the Bill did net interfere with any but Grand Juries which had the power of raising money. It was his opinion that under the present Bill the Clerk, of the Peace would receive a lair and ample compensation, although not so much as the Grand Juries might gin them. He did not see what vest-4 right or tenure they had in their offices; but 811 to their s a larips,theParliameer had a right to regulate them; • still that House ought sot to pass this Bill without 'nit sot*. . . formation upon the 'abject. It was from the wet; oftaPnit i i reformation that the Bill of last year was thrown oat • dial House. He therefore thou g ht their Lordshipsoeight to know on what grounds the Bill bad been passed la 0 - other House. The Marquess of LANSDOWN thought as. amid be more monstrous than to suppose that the sees in question should enjoy vested interests in t he. Bieti of office, such as Grand- Juries might choose tt gent; and if such a law existed, it ought to he repealed. Be had no objection to agree in the motion for putting, off the Bill. The Bill was then ordered to be committed on Mon day. And it was agreed that the parties petitioning against the Bill might be heard by themselves or Conned. MARRIAGES. 1 The Marquess of LANSDOWN said be had to pre , I sent to their Lordships a Dill to give relief to certain classes of Dissenters in this country, with regard to man riages. The object was to enable Protestant and Ca tholic Dissenters to celebrate their marriages in their iwn Chapels, without the intervention of any of the Msthorities of.the Establishd Church. The coarequenee ( the restrictions which now existed -in regard to Ito. *an Catholics was, that many parishes in the metropolis 'were overrun with illegitimate children, and thus the parishes were burdened, and the greatest immorality prottailed. The Bill lie was then about to propose, went to correct this disgraceful evil, by bring all Dis senters within the pale of the Marriage Law, which he ted would soon be passed by their Lordships. He thought that those marriages ought to be accompanied byreligious' solemnities; but tha t such solemnities Wld be most conformable to the religions persuasion if the parties, and that nothing should be required of ..uss them which their consciences disapproved of. On these rounds the Bill was framed , and brought before the House at the time when their Lordships were discussing the subject of the Marriage Laws. Dissenters would be required only to pay the necessary fees to the Established Church, and then enter into their solemn contracts in their own way: If the Bill came into a Committee, he should propose a restriction with regard to the particu lar classes of Dissenters that otight to be comprehended in it, to the exclusion of some particular sects. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that a Bill making so material an alteration in the law as this Bill went to make, ought to have been introduced at an earlier period of the Session, and because it was not, he should object to the second reading of it. H. was a friend to rational toleration, add was ready to admit that there were numerous bodies of respectable Dissent ers; but this Bill would extend to all classes of sectari ans, and there would be no end to the mischiefs which it would occasion. It would allow a place for the cele bration of marriages, not only in every chapel, in every house, bat in every street. It would afford facilities to the marriages of persons denying the troth of Christi anity, to the followers of Joanna Southcot, to Jurgen!, and all other fanaties. Ale asked, therefore, if it was fit to introduce at the end of • Session a Bill which went to operate such a mighty change as this? He would not consent that the Clergy of the Established Church should be made instrumental in carrying the Bill into effect with persons belonging to the very worst congregations. IL: was a friend to toleration, but not that sort of toleration which knew no limits—lie should, therefore, oppose the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the Bill contained provi sions which he could never assent to, but he thought • mea sure of this kind was necessary to a certain extent, and he did not think it an unfit measure to be brought forwent, even at this late period of the Session, because he thought it would be desirable to refer it to a Committee. The ob ject of the Bill was certainly unanswerable, after what had already concedtd to Jews and Quakers. Some reef ought -to be granted to other Dissenters, and he earth::lan li y wished to grant it to the Roman Catholics. His opinion was, that the marriages of all Dissenters should be cele brated in churches, at the same time he would not have the Legislature force such a restrictidii on them. He had no objection to let this, Bill go into a Committee, but there was one part of it which he would ever object to. That was the part which related to the marriage of persons of different persuasions, far then a member of the Established Church might be married in a Dissenting Chapel. There was another „difficulty ; it was, that parties should not pretend to be Dissenters for the mere purpoae of con tracting the marriage, but should be Dissenters in reality. —On the whole, It would be desirable that this subject shouldnotiergo • full coesideration before their Lordships in a Committee. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he felt eons/. dersble alarm at this measure. lie would give way to no man in his notions of toleration. He thought that every man ought to have a power of judging for himself in reli gious matters. But there were many instances of sectarians Oho founded their faith on no other foundation than a pri vate and capricious interpretation of certain passages of Scripture. Toleration became necessary, as being the effect of human fallibility ; but it must not be carried to such an extent as to endanger the established religion of the State. He looked on this Bill, therefore, with infinite alarm, be cause it was a first attempt made to alter the Liturgy of the Church. The professed object was to give relief to scru ples of conscience ; but it would extend to persons who had none at all. It was an invasion of the established Liturgy, rebirth had existed for two hundred years. He should, there ' ism, oppose the Bill. The Bishop of WORCESTER bad no objection to the von going into a Committee. Lord REDESDALE said the principle of this Bill was gothing less then that of converting into a Gretna Green 'every place which any set of sectarians might choose to sail a place of worship; and Birch a measure would de stroy ell the provisions intended to be enacted by the Bill then before the House. There was no similitude be 4e/eon-this measure and the Bill for regulating the marriages of Jews and Quakers ; and he never could give his con sent to it. The Earl of HARROWBY fully concurred in the prin ciple of the Bill, and also in the objections made by his Noble Friend. He wished the Bill had been introduced at an earlier period oftheSession ; at the same tirne he thought it would be as well to let it go into a Committee, in order to weiergo a discussion by their Lordships, after which it -might stand over till next Session. The Bishop of CHESTER put it to the Noble Marquess whether this Bill should be brought forward at this late pe riod of the Session, whe m i mosaof the Bishops were absent, and when the Clergy of country could not have time to send their petitions against it. , Lord CALTHORPE said he did not look on this measure with any sort of appreheesion ; because the interests of the Church did not require Parliament to force opinions on any sect of men. He wished the Bill in question to be confined to Unitarians, because they differed fundamentally from the doctrines of the Established Church. The Bishop of LAN DAFF had no objection to the Bill going into a Committee. If this Bill were to pass, it would be material to know by what description of persona the mar riages were to be solemnized, and in what form. The mar riage ceremonies of Jews and Quakers were well known : but it would b most dangerous to Wren the marriages of the commuaty e to unknowe.persons, by whom the most im- I proper marriages might be solemnized. He wished the Bill might be withdrawn for the present ; and he would object to the second reading of it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH could not bring himself to think that the morals of the community would in any way be in jured by this Bill. The only change proposed to be made was that of changiug the place and the mender of perform ing the ceremony of marriage ; any objection raised ag lost the Bill, might be removed in the Committee, and he trusted 'the Right Rev. Bench would enter into the discussion of it to the Committee. The Earl of CARNARVON urged the necessity of ;m -in into a Committee on the Bill ; and after that their Lordships would be mach better prepared to discuss it next Session. Th. Marquess of LANSDOWN, la reply, said it was the furthest from his inteution to call on their Lordships to harry this measure through the House ; or evea to pro pose that it should be passed la tbe presort Session.— 1111111. 1 1 1 M.

OD the reading of the Judge's Report in this eases which was a prosecution for bribery, instituted by Sir T. S. Cliampneys, it appeared that the Jury having found a general verdict of.guilty upon the evidence of one per son, whom the learned Judge seemed to think was un worthy of credit. The COURT, without argument, suede the rule absolute for a new trial. THE NINO v. WILLIAM MEAD. This case, It will be remembered, was the first series of eighteen prosecutions against the witnesses for the Crown. upon itiformations in the Exchequer, against several persons as concerned in a smuggling transaction near Scarborough. The defendant was found guilty ; upon which the Attorney-Central, who had moved for special juries in all -the cases, refused his warrant to the prosecutor for a tales, anti consequently all the other causes went off for default of jurors. A rule was after yards obtained to show cause wby the defendant shoeld not have a new trial, and lie was admitted to bail. The prosecutor, James Law, was afterwards mortally wound ed by means of a gun or pistol, and William Mead mid another were committee( on a charge of murder. At the last York assizes a bill was found against them for that orime, but the trial was postponed on the ground that the packed state of public feeling would prevent them from having an impartial trial. Mr. U. F. Jones now appeared to chew cause against tills rule, when • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked whether the defend ant was not under prosecotion of a most serious charge? Mr. Jones answered that he was in custody on a charge of murder. The LORD CHIEF Juarrecsaid, then it would surely be proper to let this case stand over till that prosecution was decided. Mr. JONES submitted that then were peculiar reasons why this case ought not to he deferred. There were seven teen other indictments, ail arising out of the same image-. tion, which had gone off at a ruinous expense to the parties, because the AttorneyAlentral, who moved for special juries, refused to allow the prosecutor to pray a tales in any of the causes. They could not bring any of them down again, unless some arrangement were made respecting Vele costs, and all arrangement had been refused, while this rthe was pending. It was, therefore, highly important to the pur poses of justice, that the rule should he at once determined, and it would take but little time. as it was moved on affida vits which had received the most complete and satisfactory answer. The SOLICSTOR.GENER AL said he was not satisfied with the affidavits which he had seen; and it would not avail the prosecutors to press for this discussion, because they could not compel the defendants to go to trial at the sittings after term. Mr. JONES still pressed that he might be at liberty to en ter on the merits of the rule, as the case of his clients was one of singeler hardship. The LAID-CRIMP JUSTICE after consulting the other judges, said The Court must in their discretion make - such arrangements for the despatch of business as shall be for the general benefit of the suitors. I am sure we shall be consulting this object if we pass by this case for the present, and therefore it must stand , ver Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL begged leave to say, that none of the records in the cases referred to had been brought down by the defendants. SIR W. BORT v. LORD NEWRY. This was an action upon the warranty eta horse, sold by the defendant to the plaintiff. The Jury bad found for the plaintiff. A motion had been made for a new trial, on the ground that there was no proof of a warranty l i for soundness, inasmuch as the only proof was that the defendant had said the horse te as sound, without p ledg-I ing himself that it was sound at the time of sale. Oa shewing cause against the rule, • The COURT were of opinion that it was unnecessary to prove an express warranty, if the representation at the time of salt imported a Warranty ; such was this case, and therefore they discharged the rule. THE NINO V. FIELDER AND ALDRIDGE. On a former day the Solocurou-Oznestat. obtained a rule for supplying a new poatea in the place of one which contained a verdict of guilty against these defendants for , keeping a common gaming-house, which was surrepti tiously taken from the Crown-office. The conviction took place four years ago, but no judgment bad ever been prayed. Mr. ADOLPHUS DOW appeared for one of the defendants, and produced the last postea, tahiclrbe handed to the officer. He said•that there was an anecdote condected with the subtraction of the document which deserved to be laid before the Court, and which would be fully dis lihmad. The party for whom he appeared wished to next term and receive the judgment of the Court; is p ra yer was, that he might appear on Tuesday next and give bail for his attendan ce to receive such sentence. The Collin. granted this request, and fixed the amount of the security to be given—the defendant himself in 2,0001., and two sureties in 5001. each. TIM RING V. oLDPIELD AND-BENNETT. The judgment on these defendants was respited till next term. THE LINO V. BARRY O'MARA, see. Mr. Femmes said, that leave had been given to him by the Court, to mention this case today, but that un fortunately lie bad not found an opportunity of so .doing until the present moment, when he feared it was too late to enter into it at length. lie therefore wished I their Lordships to appoint souse day, when it would be most convenient for the Conit to hear the case. He had seen his client, and it was his desire that the merits of the case should come before the Court. The Loan Cuter Justice—You know, Mr. Phillips, we cannot do as you retool. It is our duty so to ar range the business of the Court, as may be n.ost condos cive to the interests of the persons who come before us.. The case must now come otiwthenever it is convenient.— It is impossible to dep irt,froie our general rule, for the 'sake of particular individuals, whose counsel, however, are very properly anxious for their interests. • TREEING V. WM. LEAD AND ANOTHER. Mr. J. W LLIAMS said lie was instructed to move in this case (which is the same referred to in the case of peijary) for a Certiorari to remove the indictment for murder against the defendants, from Yorkshire, into this Court. At 'plate an hone, he would refrain from mov ing, but mentioned the case, that the delay.usight net be urged against him. The Couar intimated, that lie might tail Aar tbt grounds of his sprlicAtion in.a very few words. , Mr. Wit.itaats said, be moved on affidavit referricg to a great *umber of newspaper and other publications. from which it would clearly appear, that en impartial irisi could net be expected is the county of York. The defendants swore, that this was their own confident belief, and referred to the publications fur the reason. The COURT said they knew something of the case, and were willing to take it a then generally stated; blitttrla thought a difficulty might arise respecting tlariesta of the prosecution. whieb a Jodge did not meat empowered to order, when the tiial was held out of the seamy a here the offence was committed. Mr. WILLIAMS said, the proseentors'ind conducted themselves in a manner which would wimps Index* the Court to think the case taken out of t'ee ordinary rules. He had a copy of a letter written by their Solicitor to the gaoler of York Castle, when the priso.wrs were COM.. milted to his custody, couched in the most violent and improper language. The COURT granted a rnk to show cause. POLICE.
