HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, MAY 20. Toe SPE•ICER attended the House of Lords to hear the royal assent, given by commission to several public and private Bills (for whit h see horde report). Mr. L. FOSTER:moved that the Committees be permitted to sit during the adjournment of the ilome.—Agreed to. The Honour. able Member presented a petition from the Merchants of Dun dalk, praying that the Liverpool Dock Duty be reduced by fifty per cent. Sir G. CLERK moved the further consideration of the report of the Leith Dock Bill. Lord A. HAM ILTON said that from the great importance of this measure, and owing to the pecuniary interest involved in It, it required the most serious consideration. Many of the inhabitants both of Edinburgh and Leith were opposed to the Bill. For his own part, although he would not move for the rejection of the Bill., as he had not read the evidence connected with it, if such 11 motion were made he would support it. The Port of Leith, which may be fairly regarded as a Port of Edinburgh, had been put up to sale of a Joint. Lock Company. and it happened that many of them were buyers and sellers, being Members of the Corporation, who said of the Company that purchased it. Such a sale, he would contend, was most improper and illegal. Besides, there was a large debt upon the Dock. An action was now depending to de. tide this debt, amounting to 2135,0001. as contended for by one party and denied to be so much by the other. It was therefore most int. proper for the House of Commons to interfere betore that action was decided. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the Lord Advocate way a friend to the law of the land, although he was a friend to ibis Bill ; and be would undertake to say, that the Learned Lord would not say that the sale under the circumstances he had stated was a legal one. Though he had not read,the evidence, he was sufficiently acquainted with the facts to state that the measure was highly ob jectionable. The LORD ADVOCATE protested against the unfairness of making him personally responsible for this Bill. It was not his Bill; he had, with other Scotch Members, attended the evidence, and merely moved the 11111 as a private, not a public Bill. The Noble Lord had not read the evidence ; he had not attended the Committee t in short, he acknowledged he knew nothing about it, except what he had heard from report. Lord A. HAMILTON explained. Me. HUME was desirous of knowing how far Ministers were responsible fur their patronage of this Bill : lie regarded it as one of the most shameful join brought into this (wee. If the Minis. ten were in the House. he would be glad to know distinctly whe. titer Lord Melville had not promised the support of Government to this measure? On the part of the several boroughs which he re. presented, he was instnicted to oppose this Bill, and on the part of the whole community of Scotland he protested against the further progress of the Bill, as injurious to the trade of Scotland, by the imposition of a new and heavy duty. He contended that the trus tees had violated their trust by the sale of the dock to themselves. and he was satisfied that the Lord Chancellor would confirm that opinion. Instead of borrowing the money they wanted at 44 per cent., they had secured to themselves 64 per cent. for ever. (Cries of " No, no !") Some persons had sold their shares at a premium even of IS per cent. He was sure, if it came before him, the Lord Chancellor would vitiate the whole proceeding. The two principal grounds on which he would cppose the Bill were, first, because he was unwilling to consent to an imposition of a new duty on the trade of any part of Scotland ; anti, secondly, because he thought It highly objectionable, whilst the amount of the debt was yet un. ascertained. and an action was depending to deterniinc it. The proceeding had t.lready caused much mischief, and hr hoped that his lion. Friend would take the sense of the House, and give every opposition to it. Sir G. CLERK thought the charges brought against the Corpo. ration of Edinburgh, by. the two Hon. Members, very unfair and unjust, as neither of them hail attended the Committee upon the Bill. Some years ego, the Corporation of Edinburgh had con. tra, ted a debt of 265.000/. for certain improvements of the port of Leith. The Corporation would have been threatened with bank ruptcy if an immediate demand for the payment of this sum was made. From the embarrassment in which , the Corporation was placed, they proposed the ale of their interest in the docks to a joint stock company. The plan did not originate with the Corpo ration of Edinburgh, but was the suggestion of a merchant of Leith. Time plan had been proposed for several months before it was sanctioned or taken up by the Corporation of Edinburgh. it was not until The 9;h of October that the shares were taken up, owing to the favourable state of the public funds. The merchants of Leith released themselves from an obligation into which they had entered to take any of the shares, which quickly rose to a pre. mium of LS per cent. The high rate of 64 per cent. was objected to as ton high a rate of interest, but if that was the largest amount of interest, that could accrue to the members of the Company, he thought it was not too much, considering the risk that attend e d thel ' speculation. He denied that this measure was, as had leen as . anted, a Government measure, taken up by Government with a view of overwhelming all opposition. It was unfair to hare such • measure of general utility opposed by Hon. Members who had neither read the evidence, nor attended the Committee on the Bill. Mr. .1. P. !(RANT said the Bill did not rest upon the Com mittee. but upon the broad principles of law. The Magistrates, as Trustees of the port of Leith, sold the trust to themselves, and afterwards disposed of the shares at a premium of IS percent. Such a proceeding he was sure would be declared illegal in the Court of Chancery. The trustees had taken the shares upon spe culation of an Act of Parliament, and by so doing brought them selves within the Bubble Aet. fhe Corporation had sold the property without an advertisement. The community of Leith petitioned against the Bill, and every town on the Leith coast trailing with that port had followed the example. fle called upon the House, therefore, as it valued the law and the interest of the COMllunity of Lebh, who were unrepresented in that House, to re ject this unjust measure. Mr. W. DUNDAS briefly supported the Bill. Lord GLENORCHY protested against the manner in which those Scotch jobs were managed in the Committee up stairs, which Committee was prblcipally composed of Scotchmen. Mr. AM:R(1103111Y said the Bill was • most important one, and involved many interests. He objected to transferring the management of those Docks to an irresponsible party—to a Joint Stock Company, to persons not having any interest in the concern ; they had no interest but that of receiving their dividends. ft was a floating changeable trace, caring nothing for the trade of the Port of Leith, and as li.tle for the Docks, because their dividends were ensured to them. A gross breach of trust had been committed by the trustees, to effect a gross job. Either in low or equity such a transaction would never have been counte named. Those who thought that trustees way dispose of their trust for their own advantage should support the Bill ; but any Member who could not adopt this proposition ought to oppose it. (Ilear, hear.) Mr. I.YEMYSS had attended the Committee, and considered the Bill before the House as one of the grossest jobs which hail been brought into Parliament for many yearn. Mr. T. WILSON had heard enough to convince him that the Corporation had acted most improperly. The transaction would have been better managed by the merclbuits of Leith. Mr. Alderman WI )01) opposed the Bill. The Hence then divided. For the Bill. 41 ; Against it. 14—Majority, 27. Lard A. HAMILTON presented a peiftion, signed by 20.000 persons, inhabitants of Glasgow, in favour of the Tyne Canal Bill.

The k ( ''''''' hill, for the encauragemcnt of Manufactures in Ireland, was read a third time rnd visaed, without observation. THE BALLINASLOE PETITION._ Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to ingnire into the circumstances under which a fabricated petition had been presented to the Douse, purporting to have eeme front certain indivieloals of the town and neighbour. hood of Rallinesloc, in Ireland. The Report stated that the Com mittee had examined scrotal witnissts respecting the subject re ferred to their consideration. and that they had before them Robert Poor Trench Pilkington, who confessed to Ida having been the sole author of the petition in quesdon ; to having affixed thereto the several signature which It bore, without the knowledge or consent of the partite and to his having forwarded the said petition to the lionnur.shle Member by whoa' it was presented to the House. It concluded by stating that the offender had offired nothing in ex tenuation. . _ . Air. Secretary PEEL, however painful to propose an act of seve rity, wag nevertheless under the necessity at submitting to the House a motion on the subject. The petition which that individual had procured to be presented to the House was en gross a violation of the privileges of Parliament, and fraught with such dagger to TH BRITIS PRESS. the right of petitioning, that be felt less reluctance than he other wise should in moving that the offender be committed to Newgate. Mr. BROUG II A3l felt that on the present, as on all questions of privilege, it was of importance that the vote of the House shoukl be unanimous. 31r. Secretary PEEL hail no objection to take whatever was the ordinary course in such eases. The SPEAKER then referred the House to a case which occur red in 1736, and submitted to their consideration whether the offender's being heard before a Committee should be considered a sufficient hearing. The case was that of a man named William Leaner, and his servant, Abraham [vie, who had committed a breach of privilege by the printing of a certain pamphlet, or rather by the latter having printed it in the house of the former, without his privity. In that case the House had followed precisely the recommendations of the Committee appointed on that occasion. Ile referred to this for the purpose of showing what the practice of the House had been. Mr. BROUGHAM Inquired if the party had been summoned before the Committee ? and on being answered in the affirmative. be replied that his impression was that he had not been before the l'ununittee. The SPEAKER observed that William Leaner had acknow ledged that the printing of the offensive pamphlet was executed in his house, though without his privity. Mr. BROUGHA 31 then said that it was a bad precedent, and one which would be infinitely more honoured in the breach than in the observance. In comparing what was proposed to be done on that occasion with what lied been done in 1736, there was this dif. ference obversable, that with regard to Leaner, the vote was that he should be committed to the custody of the Sergeant at Arms; where as,•with regard to Pilkiegton, it was proposed that he should be sent to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate. He did not mean t, say but that it was quite liaing that he should be so sent to prison ; he merely observed that in the motion before the house there was a departure from the precedent referred to. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD obeerved that the delinquent had offered nothing to the Committee in extenuation of his offence. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said a very few words, which were not distinctly audible in the gallery, in consequence of some noise which just then prevailed. Mr. BROUGHAM was quite clear in the opinion, that the pro. per course would be to have the offender ordered into the custody of the Sergeant at Arms. and brought to the bar of that House, where If he confessed the offence of whith he had been convicted, he might be permitted to urge whatever lie had to say in este noation. The SPEAKER repeated that on the occasion which occurred in 1736, the House had acted upon the report of their Committee. Mr. Secretary PEEL had no objection to the course suggested. Mr. BROUGHAM thought the course would be plain if there were only one species of punishment. Mr. BA NK ES observed, that the House delegated its authority to a Committee, and the report of the Committee should be acted on. Mr. BROU'UTIA 31 replied that the Committee had not delivered any opinion as to the nature of the punishment which ought to be inflicted. They found the man guilty of the offence. lie had been convicted, and was they to be sentenced. Mr. Secretary PEEL was desirous of perfect unanimity in any case which regarded • breach of privilege ; he therefore moved that Robert Poet Trench Pilkington be brought to the bar of that House in the custody of the Serjeant at Arms. The question was then put aid carried. SALMON FISHERIES. Mr. LESLIE FOSTER rose to present a Petition from the proprietors of certain corn-mills at Slane, in Ireland, against the Salmon Fisheries Rill, as they conceived that the effect of some of its enactments would be to obstruct the navigation of the river on which their mills were situated.—The Petition was then brought up and ordered to lie on the table. ATTORNEYS IN IRELAND. Mr. LESLIE FOSTER presented a Petition from certain At tizeis in Ireland, complaining of the necessity which the law itn on the members of their profession, of annually taking out a icense, which was ordered to be printed. He also presented a Pe tition from certain Attorneys practising at the Quarter Sessions in Ireland, complaining of the low amount of fees for which, in some cases, they were bound to afford their professional services.—Or dered to lie on the table. POOR RETURNS. Mr. T. P. COURTENAY laid on the table of the House a report from a Select Committee on the Poor Returns.—Ordered to be printed. MERCHANT SEAMEN. Mr. HUME presented a petition from certain sailors engaged in the merchant service, complaining that they were obliged to con tribute 6d. a month from their wages, towards the maintenance of Greenwich Hospital, though they derived no advantage hum that establishment. Mr. T. II'ILSON paid that the subject was one of no ordinary importance. After a few words from Sir JOSEPH YORKE. Mr. H USKISSON said, that considerable expense was incurred in providing for bailors in different parts of Europe. DUTIES ON SPIRITS. Lord A LTHORP whetted to know whether the duties on rum, when rectified, were intended by the Right lion. Gentleman oppo site to be the same as on British spirits. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that it was his intention that rem might be reedited, payi,tg the same duty u British spirits, with only the addition of Is. 3d. METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY. Mr. BROUGHAM rose to ve notice that he would on Wed. nesday move for leave to bring In a Bill for the incorporation of a College in London. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that al though an Hon. Friend of his had given notice for him that he would on that evening move the adjournment of the House to Wed. nesday, yet In conformity with previous usage it was then his intention to propose that the House should not sit until Thursday. 31r. BROUGHAM, after considering the arrangement of busi ness, saw no day open until Wednesday, the Ist of June, and that he thought would be too near the end of the Session to admit of the Bill passing through both Homes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that as it was a public Bill it might be carried through both houses within the time. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that as the discussion might be had on the second reading, leave for bringing in might be applied for on any bight without interfering with other bus.ness. It was then understood that on Thursday lie would apply for leave to bring in the proposed BilL JURIES BILL. Mr. Secretary PEEL, before moving the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Report of the Juries' Bill. proposed that an Address should be presented to the Crown, praying for re. turns of the local regulations in the several towns, cities, liberties, Counties, and counties of towns, in England and Wales, respecting the hopaiielling of Juries. Mr. SCA RLETT conceived it necessary that in the Bill before the !louse a clause should be introduced, excepting front retie .1 such Statutes refating to the subject as did nut interfere with the objects of the present measure. In this Mr. PEEL cinearred, and it was accordingly ordered that the Address which he proposed should be presented. Mr. Secretary before .the Speaker left the Chair, wished to state the nature and objects of the Bill then before the !louse. , It consolidated no less than sixty Statutes, and it repealed alto gether twenty Statutes regarding the impanelling of Juries. The Bill would farther go to eiti.dtfy landholders assessed at 2111. , ox persons possessed of Ipersotial property to the amount of 490/., to perform the duties of jurors. Another object of the Bill was to do away the present absurdities and anomalies of the Statute Law upon the subject. He alstt intended by the present Bill to do sway with the necessity of the presence of a Knight, which was iiresent re- ; quired in some cases to constitute a jury under the existing law. There was another provision which required a CLl:..lii to other or the jury to be selected from the hundred to which the parties con cerned in the case belonged. It wou:d be much more likely to be able to procure an imperial jury by abolishing this regulation. Farther, an cases of special juries, where the crown was a Teal or nominal party, he would propose that the jury be selected in. variably by bullo . This should be the ease in all criminal cases. I In civil Cake' if the two parties consented to the old mode, they might be at liberty to have the jurors selected as usual; but no such provision was to be made for the selection of juries in criminal cases. The object of the measute was not to grant) , any party, but to remove the oniections and abuse. existing in the jury syotent, and render the admihistration of justice as equal as possible. '1 lie i Right lion. Gentleman concic•!ed with noising the Order of the Day, for g..ing into a Committee en the further considcrwiun of the Juries' Bill. Mr. SCA RLETT wished to take this oeportunity of expressing j his unqualified approbation of the mode of proceeding adop.ed by the Right Bon. Gentleman. There existed no subject of greater or deeper importance, and it was every way desirable that trial by jury should be rendered as perfect as possible. lie thought it in , cumbent on hint to express his gratitude to the Right lion. Gen ' amen for his exertions, which were such as became the alcuther of an enlightened and liberal Covernment. Ile entirely concurred in the general principle of the Bill, and not only was prepared to effort: the tribute of Ids praise to the exertions of the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but pledged himself to give all the assistance in his power to render the measure as perect as possible. Mr. PEEL could not but feel gratified at the mode in which his measure bad been received by the House. There could exist no great, r encouragement to a public man to undertake the execution of a difficult object than such a reception as the present Bill bad met with. Alr. BROUGHAM fully concurred in.the principle of this Bill, the object of which was to expunge useless Statutes from the Sta. tate Book, and remove a flaw which existed lit that noble institu. Lion, Trial by Jury. He fully agreed in the propriety of making the proposed alteration in the mode of striking June* where the Crown was a party concerned. It was a provision calculated to do away with all the suspicion on a delicate subject, which might at present exist. lie was certain that the present Alaster of the . Crown Office would be the person best pleased with, Ste regulation; indeed he had express e d himself to that effect. In common with his lion. and Learned Friend, he returnld thanks to the Right lion. (hentlentan opposite, (Mr. Peel) for the pains and trouble he had taken in arranging the details of this important measure. Ile trusted the proposed improvement would afford a lesson to those persons who were too apt to think whatever existing regulations subsisted, the best that could be possibly devised and entirti) inca pable of improvement. The Speaker then left the Chair. After a few verbal alterations bad been agreed to, the Bill passed through the Committee. The House then tesumed, and the Report was ordered to))e brought up on Thursday. JUDGF.S' SALARIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, before moving that the Report be brought up, wished to make a few observations arising out of the discussion which had taken place the other even ing. On that occasion the retiring allowances to the Judges had been &Undid to. It certainly appeared to him that there were many circumstances connected with this question that required the subject of these retiring pensiona to undergo some consideration. By the proposal of allowing 6tlool. to be the salaries of Judges, he thought that it would not be more than a sufficient inducement for comparatively young men to accept df situations on the Bench— not only younger men, but also men of eminence and talent in their profeasion, which were certainly the deshlerrila In s in tended to administer jus t ic e . H e h a d a l so thought of person what had beets said concerning the translation of Judges from one post to another. He certainly considered that it would not conduce to the purity of the administration of justice, if promotion were to 'beheld out to the Judges for certain services. Nothing in his opinion ' could possibly be more unconetitinional, and ought with the greatest care to to shunned, but at the same rime he thought it would be going too far to say that in no instance it should be com petent to the Government to take, if it thought proper, a course of that kind. But at any rate he thought the salary of 60004 would bee sufficient obstacle to any arrangement such is had been spoken of being entered into. lie thought, however, that it would be expedient to increase the retiring pension, and in consequence di minish the salary to a similar amount. The present retiring pen sion was 2,3001., to this he proposed to add 501.1/., which was to be deducted from the salary. This, including the expenses the Judges woe at on the Circuits, would reduce their net income to about 50(104 This he did not think was too much to secure the two important objects he had alluded to. At any rate he thought it best not to run the risk of losing them by too low a salary, which might at some future period oblige them to revise the sale ries, which he thought ought to be avoided. (Hear.) Mr. SCARLET'(' thought, considering in how few instance the retiring pension had been accepted, that it might be increased : 2.8001. after having enjoyed 6,0001. was too little, and there tumid be very few found to retire on those terms. Ile remembered a bar rister who thought of retiring from the profession on account of his infirmities, but whilst he was thinking of it he was offered a situa tion on the bench. in the Court of Exchequer, which he accepted, and held for many years. In course of time he became blind of one eye, and otherwise infirm, hut nevertheless he did not think of retiring ; and the cause was, that the provision was nut adequate to his necessities. He (Mr. Scarlett) therefore thought that the re tiring pension out to be 3,5001. lie submitted to the House what must be the feelings of a man, who, after a long course of public service, should be obliged to retire upon what wits insufficient to support in some degree that elegance to which he had been accus tomed. Ile thought besides that some way might be found to make them useful members of society even after their retirement. The Privy Council was the Court of Appeal for the Colonies, and cases I of great difficulty and moment often came before it, which he would . venture to ray none but those pr a ctised i n t h e administration of justice could decide. Had the country some years ago availeu themselves of the talents and proffiuntt knowledge of Sir William Grant in the Privy Council, many cases, lie was sure, which had there been improperly decided, would have met that justice which they required. He himself (Mr. Scarlett) remembered bring in the Privy Council, in a case with Sir S. Romilly, on which °cession they heard seven appeals from the Colonies, which, in the opinions of all the lawyers present, were improperly decider!. Now such circumstances as these might be avoided it' the retir.d Judges were made of the Privy Council, whose duty was lighter than that of the Courts of Law, and in consequence might easily be performed by them. The lion. and Learned Gentleman concluded by ex pressing a hope that an opportunity would be given to consider the subject of the salaries in general. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER should not oppose the further consideration of the question, nor object to the recommitment- if that were necessary. The SPEAKER said, that no increase could be made, al:bough a decrease might, without its helve recommitted. Alter a few words trim air. BROUGHAM, the Report was brought up and read. 31r. BROUGHAM mil lie did not know whether this was the proper stage for bringing on the minion of which he bad given no tice. His motion had nothing to do with the increase cr decrease of the salaries proposed by the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and therefore it did not require that the Resolu tions should be recommitted ; but if it could be brought on in the Conmiittee, he should have no oh jection to that course. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER understood that the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was to be sonic amendment as to the promotion of the Judges, and therefore, in point of form, he thought it could not be brought on in the way mentioned by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, but that if at all it must be now, and lie thought the lion. and Learned Gentleman must have the precedence. al r. BROCGIIA 31 said that the motion which he intended to make was intended only as an introduction, or mere preamble, to the Resolutions ; and that if his lion. and Learned Friend (31r. Scarlett) should move to re-commit the Resolution as to the salary oposed t 3 be given to the L or d Chief Justice of the Court of , Kings Bench, he (Mr. Brougham) might, lie considered, move his amendment in that Committee. You might move anything in the Committee. and qualify the Resolutions in any way you pleased. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if the lion. and Learned Gentleman purposed that his motion should be as a preamble to the Resolutions, he apprehended there was nothing more required-to be done than to move in the commencement that his amendment should be introduced in the present preamble after the word " that." Mr. BROUGHAM had no objection to state what he had to say now ; the only difference was that lie should not have to wait till ot•.e o'clock before he addressed the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER then moved that the Bill be read a second time. Mr. BROUGHAM then rose and said that the motion which he was about to make was not intended to impede the second reading of the Bill, nor prevent his lion. and Learned Friend (31r.Scarlett) from delivering his aentiments as he had expressed a wish to do. On the contrary, it would be found that the motion which he W4ll now going to make would open the whole discussion ; and this he was de:sit:nu% of doing, because it had been agreed, that in order to avoid a multiplicity of discussions, the whole question should be brought forward at once. With regard to the objections which his Hon. Laid Learned Friend (31r. Searlett) had made to the Resolu tions as they at present stood, lie begged to say that he perfectly coincided with hint but with one exception; and, in differing as he did io that single point, he did so with extreme caution. feeling that the opinion* of his lion. and Learned Friend came reran mended by as long and extensive and varied a knowledge and ex perience in the profession of the ISW, as was professed by any man, either in this House or out of it. The point on which he thus differed war, with regard to the provisions for the Puisne Judges, The Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had indeed proposed to reduce that sum front fieloo/. to that of &WU/. ; hitt the difference would still be roar 2,00d1. from what they at present received. He could not help thinking that 2,0001. was a ercet deal too much to be ridded, arid tnr the reasons that had been given by his 800. and Learned Friend. Ile considered s,:dto!. was more than ought to he provided. First, as lie load sa'd. :or the reason given by his lion, and Learned Friend ; and, secondfy, when lie consi.leieJ chat the sum provided for the Learned leiti%ateal who filled tie race rut Lord Chief Justice was only ; a smo wholly disprtneirtioned to the addition proposed for the Puisne Judges. The Chief Justice, by the present measure, wotil,!;,ive up a great deal fur a small addition to his salary, while the Puttee: dtalges were giving up nothing. ( Here the Lion. and earned Gentleman. experiencing an interruption from some 3lem ber behind hit (Mr. Hume, we believe), who was speaking in rather a Mod tone, he turned round and said, I beg my lion. Friend would hot talk so lq td ; I fear 1 ant interrupting him.—(.l laugh.) 1 Ile was sure the Right lion. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Each( quer) would admit that there e u sgreat difference between the l'inef Justice and the Puisne Juitges. The former should be tilled by men of great legal learning, and superior talent; their authority ought to be regarded, and their station being consider ably it,t)re dignified and important, their emolument ought also to be higher. If, however. that effice should be liable to be filled by an individual, either of inferior talents, inferior acquirements, and inferior abilities ; or if he should at all fail to maintain that rank in the eyes of the country, which his station well might give him, he would not be able to keep that sway over the members of the liar, or the business of the Court, which, in all matters of im portance, it was most essential they should do, and in matters of minor interest it would be well for them altogether to possess. If, instead of this, every Judge was to he allowed to speak at length on all occasions—if, instead of having a Chief Justice, we were to have time Puisne Judges, and the distinction of Chief being merely that of sitting on a particulcr part of the Bench, then lie would say, so long as such a system continued the country would hays no Court fur the fair and due administration of jusice. Every thing that tended to diminish the rank, dignity, and Importance ot the Chief Justice, diminished ireo !unto that sway and influence which in his opinion, for the good working of the Court, it was necessary he should possess. Ile could not help thinking that the Chief Justice's labours, which far exceeded that of all the other Judges, merited a very considerable stun be paid the other Judges. Only look for instance at the labour of the late land Elleithorough, who on one occasion went down to Guildholl when there were no less than MB causes set down for trial ; and to his immortal honour lie did infinite justice in them all. The present Lord Chief Justice had a great portion of bold ness to dispose of; there was no comparison between the business of the Court in the time of herd 31anafield and now ; then there were ' , ever Write titan 70 causes entered at once; but at the present titre there were no less than 350 or 400 auaea in the paper. The 11:oment 'Fellows. over, the Puisne sludgca--of whom he begged to speak with the highest respect, for more learned or more virtuous incur never filled that Ake than st present ; he had known many of them as brother Barristers, and he might now be permitted to sa, that in many instances the office of Judge was never better fill e d ; nevertheless lie would observe that no sooner was Term over than the Puisne Judge ceased to labour, while the Chief Justice con tinued to sit alone. The former gat from the tith of Nov. to the 21h1, and lie then had a long and pleasing recess to the 23d of January. __ A 111 EMBER here observed that they went to the Old Bailey SoNions. 31r. BROUGHAM—And so did the Chief: the only difference was, that the Chief Justices of the King's Bench and of the Com mon Pleas did not go on the Spring Circuit. An Hoo. Friend reminded him that the Puisne Judges went on the Winter Circuit; but he (Mr. Brougham) would merely observe, that the 't inter Circuit was a new thing; it had not been in existence above two years; and besides, it-ass only extended to the Home Circuit. The Sprint Assists, he was observing, was not attended by either the Chief Justice of the King's Bench or 01 the Common Pleas, Jut rsi rßribeillt4cl b eY yt6 S t hediesCirtnChhiselsrerßpjar:F b ice es s i n d w d n enbrtyhtihtshe:tChilie:uriujitii and Its sli oth e r Chief Jurt!c~t the t)1,1 'lie 28th of November to the 23d of January alone, and that ti front ten in the morning tu half-past th ree i n the eo enwm r ' cot l'uisne Judges dad in term, but fr om n i ne o ' clock to five, ala's t" often Rix and seven in the evening.

Such was the labour of the Vice-Chancellor ; and yet he was only to have.; el ar. when the Puisne Judges were to have that sum. This was by no means a fair proportion; the Vice-Chancellor ranked rest after the Chief Justice of the Common Picas, who was to have 11,000/. and the Muter of the Rolls vas to have 7,001./. although in that Court, since the time of the great Sir Wm. Gnat. there had been scarcely any thing done. The scale propcscd by the Resolutions was clearly wrorg, and ought to be aniercit•:. As to the Puisne Judges, he hoped he might say, witEcut the least invidious *Hutson, that if they were to have 5,000/. t and truly paid into their hands, they would be fully paid. i hcar) Ile eared not what construction was put upon his conduct. tether, well assured that he could have no personal motive for reduc irg the provision of a Puisne Judge, but he did conceiv: 5,5114.11. to be much too large a aunt to be paid to them. As to the fi uOOl, it was enormous; there was not a Judge in Westninver Hall who did not consider it s o, and who in the mowing, when they heard of it, were put into a state of fitment, and exclaimed, •• What is it? 6,000/. a year ! Why, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the first commoner of the realm, he whose nfiee was attended with a great deal of labour and expense (hear, hear), why he only had 6.0140!. a year. Then there was the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who had to give Cabinet dinnen, keep Messengers, and a great eetablishment t i keep up, and the. dignity of a 3linister of State to maintain, his salary was only 6,0001 , and no house; and be really must say that his office was no 'sinecure, for lie had to listen to the alinisters of the Holy Allies. which lie thought was the worst part of the office. He had to hear their compla ma against the liberty of the press. and to listen to their solicitations for its suppression : then he had to say something, which after all was nothing to sati fy them th at the thing could not be done ( a l aug h) ; and then he had to write as many despatches as would till a ream of paper, and then only_ halt' his outy was performed, for he had to come down to this House and attend the debases hoe first to last; whereas, the Puisne Judges had only u sit a few hours in the morning, and to hear lour sel, and grant them their Motions ; the Hight Honourable Secretary had a few Counsel also to hear, though he did not al. ways grant them their motions so readily as the Puisne Judges did ; yet he bore with them with as exemplary a patience as any Puisne Judge ever did (much la tighter), and yet for all this he was only to have 6,000 L a year, and Puisne Judges 5,500/. a year, which was bringing their offices much too near together. He therefore thought 5,0001. a tear was quite sufficient, and his Honourable and Learned friend (Mr. Searlett) aid himself wou:d take all the odium upon themselves to propose that that should be the tutu to be paid to them. They would aban. don all hopes of ever having the 5,5001. in reversion. His Hon. and learned Friend should move, and he would second the mo tion, and thus take the whole of the burthen upon themselves Mr. SCA RLErf.—l shall not move it. Mr. BROUGHAM said he was afaid his Honourable and Learned Friend's objections to the Report bad &Ilene': but if his Honourable Friend would rot move it, he himself would. It had been said that the provision would rot be en .ugh to induce men of talent to accept of the situation of Pui me Judge. This, reminded him of what a wily friend of his hail said on a si milar occasion .• he observed—it was a very di ff erent thing to ask a friend whether lie would have a dram when it was on the table, or whether he should send into the cellar for it. (Laughter.) Ile thought that 5,000!. a-year, with a good retiring salary, was quite enough to command all the talent at the Bar, lie now cane to that principal part of his motion, which was as to the trans tattoo of the Puisne Jutiges to Chicfships. His motion was only to have that part of his late alajesty't spetca, in which he spoke of the independence of the Judges being most conducive to the due admithatration of justice, carried into full effect. That King had steured the continuance of the office el the Judge, notwithstanding the demise of the Crown; but in his (31r. Brougham's) opinion, this was not sufficient to secure their independence. lie thought that the translation of Judges was very prejudicial, and was likely to have a similar effect upon their minds, as it was said, bat no doubt very unjustly of another profession, the like circumstance had upon them; that was to make them look towards their maker—that was to those who made them Bishops ; and so in the present case it would make the Puisne Judges; look towards those who made them Judges. He (lid n.t mean to speak against the Judges of the Common Law as being guilty of any bias • he concaved no one ought to speak against thtm at all, unless he tale charge to briretieainst them. lint he would not say that he had nut observe( souse tl effics produc,tl by this practice of promoting Puisne Judges; he could not help saying that it was therefore not qui e satistactory to be told Ju:fg,, were not biassed ; all these Lamed men might have (lea. rat ds ia.i.er violt to the temptations held out, but the tendency of the practice existed. Every time a Puisne Judge, as an honest and conscier tious man in causes between thetrown d the subject. should give his decision against the subject, he was liable to have it whieyered by one. hinted at by another, spoken by a OW, and publish:d in the newspaper, by a fourth, that 31r. Justice Sitch.a.o.nne gave that decision because the Lord Chief Justice was very ill. f they wished therefore to preserve the purity of the J edges. o , :y would put it beyond the possibility of their having any bias rein to one party or tha other. Great as the objectioo 'Mph b: to the closing the avenue to the Chiefship from the Puisne 3 it, between the two evils of conatant translation and note at aa, he would make his election for the latter. There had b:en calms than seven translations within the last thirteen years. Mr. Justice Gibbs was tussle first from Attorney-General to a Justice of the Common Pleat, then Chief Baron, and afterward. Chief of the Common Pleas. 31r. Baron Thompson was made Baron front being 3last r in Chimeery, which, by...he-bye, was an instance that there was no difficulty io finding persons who would accept the office of Puisne Judge; for although a Master iat Chancery wr s better office thanßaron of the Exchequer, yet 31 r. BarooThononen d.d rot refute giving up the tbrmer foe the latter. l'he next instance was Mr. Baron Richards, who was made from a Puisne Baron to • Chief: and then came Chief - Justice Abbott, Chief Justice Dallas, and Chief Justice Best, all of whom but been prometed hem Puisne Judges. This would not do as long as man was man, n r the Learned Judges to be thus exposed to these temptatien:, to tic blamed ; although they might be perfectly upright and virtaae:, yet they wererendered liable to suspicion, and it was a well gr••e7ti suspicion. for it was founded in the knowledge of llama) He should therefore conclude by moving, that all the wen', ..• ••-• preamble of the present 11111, after the wit 11 ."rl , .it.- , !,,!! and the tollowing words introduced :—" here). it is secure the independence of the Judges by an adc,:a.t..• • , whereas it is inexoedient for securing that indepenth: • • • Puisne Judges to the office. of Chief Baron of the he I Justice of the Common fleas, Chief Justice of the 4' , lie Leh, Vice Chancellor, Nloster of the Rolls, or Lord Cll.l-:,lloi."
