Three were the important objects of the Bill, which their Lordships would probably have to con sider spin, whether in the whole or in part, during the courte of the next Session, and to which be thought it necessary thus early to direct their Lord. Ships attention, as well as that of those more ius• intchatelv interested in these enactments. The Nobir Earl then adverted to air intention, of which he hid heard something, of building a church, upon a great scale, in the new town of Limerick, where the great intijority of the popults. tints was triples' to he Catholic, and some most re. epectable persons of that persuasion, to which they would, of course, be compelled to contribute at the same rate with their Protestant townsmen. though they had lately erected a 'magnificent chapel.entirely by voluntary subscription. for the celebration of their own worship. If ever this Bill should appear again before Par. batten!, the Noble Earl trusted, that that system which had ao wisely prevailed on so rosily late °eels 's...a., or referring subject. or greet tasopertettee to Committees fur consideration, previous to the forms- Con of any specific measure, may he followed in this care, and that. the measure may originate in a :notion fur a Committee to inquire into the stair of the eitivrilig laws upon the important subjectof this Bill, and to report whether any and What new esiattmenss may be necessary. the Earl of LlttEttl'ci hoped. in opposing the till, be' should -Oat be understood as offering any objection to whit he conceived would be of Wean.

COURTS OF JUSTICE IN SCOTLAND. Lord A. HAMILTON rose. in pur.unicr of no. lice, to move for a copy of all references that may have been made by the Commissioners siopointeit to inquire into the Courts of Justice in Scotland, to the Judges of any of those Courts. or to the Law Officers of the Crown in that part of ihe United Kirigdoin. His Lordship ,aid it would he recollected, that iii the year 1814, a Commission had been appointed to inquire into the stale of the Courts of Justice in Scotland. and the Coin missioners had made several Reports on the subject. Those Reports had lain for a consi derable peered ori the table of the House, but no proceeding had been arinnted on any one of %hears— ay...mice whaseeer nod been taken of them h', his Majesty's. Widmer*. or by any person authorised by theirs to do so. • In hi/ Lordship's view of the *ab ject, his Majesty's Miiiisters bad conducted them ' selves mn.t negligently, in not having any one step whets with respect to those Reports, or having the question fairly bmught before that House, for the papaw* of furnishing the public with some irifor. Mattosues to the course they meant to pursue with respect to tie recommendations they contained. The Reports remained. up•to tlse present moment. .a dead letter—and lie thought it was due to the House that some notice should be taken of them, embracing, as they did, so large an extent of ins portmet smatter. • The Report,. had been made at different periods—they had been printed--but the subjects to which they related had not beets once touched on. The inevitable consequence moist be. that the Commissioners themselves, and the ins. portant duty that devolved on them, would, most urejustly, be brought into di-credit. If ally Geo. tletnau looked into these Reports, he would see that they contained many recommendations, both fur economy and the furtherance of justice. What had his Majesty's Monsters done? The only prac tical result that lie knew of was to be found in their directing those reference., for which lie was about to move, to be made to the Judges of those Courts, and to the Lord Advocate of Scotland. It appeared to him, that those reference* were nut Ci t r . reet. Could any thing be more improper titan to refer to the heads of the different Courts thefts selves, queries, relative to abuses that might have crept into them—or to those points in their respec tive judicial establishments, in which savings might be made ? At present, he knew not what the na ture of those references was—what was their exact purport Of object—or whist answers had been given to them. In those Reports, to which he had be. fare referred. he found several very important purl gestiours. One or two of theme he would mention to she noose, merely to strew the propriety of founding some overtime on them. The first Report re d its the Court of Session, and coutuinetl various arbour, as to a reduction of the number of sinks mid different officers •of the Court, recom. tutuding a saving to the amount of about 6,0001. per minus's. He did nut know a hether any of these-ouggestion/ ought to be carried into effect; butrcertatuly, after a lapse of five years, they were worthy of cousideration. Now, se these references were the only result•of *this and the other Report, he thought he did mit ask too much. when lw re quired them to be laid before the House. The Fsfik Report had beets for stone time at the Treasury—but it had not yet beets presented to Pediment. He bad applied fur it at the Tratoury..-and the reason assigned for the (Way appeared to him to be most unsatisfactory. He be. keyed the truth was that it contained a most im portant feConlMendulion, with resort to the Court of Exchequer in Scothisid. It dol, he understood. most btrougly recotunsend the dtscontiumusee dm* elm! of the Barons of the Exchegner. Ife ilia hope, this were tar case, mid soy new appointments were urnlil contepate that they would be.susivended, 'eport was laid on the table. I* did not know whether Isis arnlion would be 011110%ell or 001--bist certatuly lie could see no good itrounil for oppoii- I pun. A.soredly !WOW explanation ought tinio he given by his Majesty's Nlinisters, fur refrang from biking Any step on this subject. after t The three or four Reptnis haviog been laid on the table. first uirritisig 4.f dug Commissionets took place in Mny. 1104—the Commission having ive been a app point u ed in 1814 —.ati•d the first Report, relat to Cort of Session, was made so far hack as 1916, altlionv, , ,h it hail never since been acted on. 'fuel the subject Might nu longer remain unnoticed, lie would now move— " Iltfre.ll, laid before this Haase eopy of all tlie refereners that have beau spade to she ledges, sir an y of tars, or to she Law Officers of the Crown in tieudsad—or hi o sOte In r say Kepoirls laid before them respecting the • Courts of moisweft theteio.-101gether with the respec tive skies tbeteof. * Lord CACTENSEAOH said, he had no objection to , offer to the widow, of t h e Noble Lord, mid would reserve himself with respect to coy obssiVistions he might think proper to snake on there documeorts, un tilNliry were hod before the Hour,. The Noble Lord hail made a satiety of general ob ss iss nuns, es tt the itooduct itf G o v e rnrnetit, in not biking those Reports into their coosoleration, and adopting some in nu what they recommended. But as thole obseriations did nor apply to ally subject that unide • part of the motion, it Mao unneecessry, at present, to say any thing on that point. He only hoped that Grotleisrei would not suppose, in cubsequence of what fell from the •Noble Lord, that his Ma jesty's Mriii.ters were disinclined to avail themselves of the suggestions contained to the Reports of the Cunndtlarioinrra,because they had not yet noticed them. Mr. AletteanhisT said, there was one part o f the speech of ill* , Noble Friend to which the Noble Lord tied not etiverled, though it was of great im port atter. It related to a question which he (Mr. Abercromb)) hail. some tune since, put to the Noble Lord. Ills Noble Friend stated, that the Report Coototterti a teem iiiii endetion that the office of one of the B,roii. of the Exclieqirer in Scotland should be a bolished. When he asked the queatiou of the Noble Lord, he did not know that the Com ntissioriers had made such a r e commeridation—but he put it to hurt inertly because he thought such a nieii.ure would be most espedient--eepecially when ek e) were to oeilig a Bill, which separated the of fice oh Baron of the Exchequer from another that had long been connected with it. The whole con stitution of the. Court of Exchequer in Scotland ought to be revisrd—and he conceived it was most improper that the situation of First Judge of the Jury Court, and that of Baron of the Exchequer, should he held by the same person. The conti nuing so many Barons of the Exchequer could not be defended on the ground of the business of the Exchequer Court, but because they had other duties to perform. which were entirely incompatible with those which were connected with the Court of Exchequer. Lord BINNING did not mean to have said a word on this occasion, as his Noble Friend ex pressed his acquiescence in the motion, if it hail not been for certaiu observations which fell from the Learned Gentleman who had last apoken. Ills objection woe, that certain official Atitie* nixed to the office of the Barons of the Backe. quer were inconsistent with their simpatico as indres and, therefore, he would have new officer' mispoint ed, that they might be delivered from the perform ance of the official functions.- He (Lord Binning) did not think there were ally duties imposed upon them, but those naturally connected with the Court over which they presided. He thought the question of incompatibility did rot go so far as the Hon. sod Learned Gentleman (Mr. Abercromby) thought ; and the question of ecosromy did not op ply at all, as the accomplishment of his views would lead to the appointment of two new officers. Mr. KaIiNSDY expressed • desire that Govern. mem would pompom the tilling up Noy vacancies till the next Session, when the propriety of new constructing the Court of Exchequer might be fully considered. Should such an understanding not be come to, it was his intention (as we could collect) to propose a motion fur such postpone ment. Lord CAsTLERRAGIR made some remark not audible to u.. Mr. J. P. GRANT understood there was a recorn. tartulatiOss from flair Commissioners of Comets of Justice in Scrilatiol that the place of the fifth Bowl of the Court of Exchequer should not be filled op. It such were the fact. lie supposed Minis. ter* would hare nu objectors& to delay making the appointment till next year. After a few words from Mr. BoSIVELL and Lord BINNING, the trooloss Was put and carried. MEshAGE FROM THE LORDS. A Wooer Loin the Lords announced that their Lordrilispri had agreed to the Lotteries Bill, and other public and private Bills. JURY COURT—(KOTLAND.) Lord A. HAMILToX lilt he owed an apology to the House for occupying so much of its time; but he really could not forbear eutreating its attention fur a short tune longer, while he inside some obser vations on the Jury Court Act, which had recently passed thus and the othyr House of Parliament. No person was more friendly than himself to the prin ciple of extending the Trial by Jury to Scotland— ou person was more sesis:ble of the great benefits of that institution—no person was more favuura. We to the object of the Act, or more disposed to labour that it should receive the greatest effect. He hoped, therefoie. he should receive full credit fur his good wishes for the principle of the measure. It was because he wished it success.. and necaure be thought that some of its regulations and enact ments having pilled the House in a precipitate and objectionable manner, might therefore afford room fur opposition to those who were less friendly to it than himself, that he now rote to submit his amotioti, anxious to remove all impediment* which weight obstruct its workissg. He should he sorry, in offering some objections to parts of the Bill. to be posed to arraign the motives of those wlmoreginated it. What he thought objectionable was, the appoint ment of so mom new officers in a Court which, from what he knew, was already amply *uplifted. and with each large salaries arinexed to them as would probably Waves-the holden ht vedette their ro war w.M~.rwK► l ditties by deputy. The Bill hill been hurried through the House with mobecronierg precipitaucy ; most of the clauses providoog for the creation of the He w oThces had been filled top and agreed to at mid " W it. in the presence of soot eight Members. The Act coosisterl of twenty-six paget, and he wrathd venture to say that more than the blanks that occurred in them load been filled up in the muffler lie loot described. It was therefore necessary the Act should receive wore L . deli'oerote attention and vitamin M OM than it hod yet undergone, before loving put in osperdtion-•-that lie proposed to effect by no whirrs. to the Crown, to giVY direCtiollfg tint to lilt op the new places created by the Act till one ni milt after the com mencement of the nest Session of Parliament, or tiil a Report mu the dory Corot bad hers re ceived from the Commissitmers in Courts of Justice. The first appointment authorised to be made by the Crown, which lie ventured In bring under the notice of the Wine, was, that of four clerks, at a salary of 6001. •-year each, and in the same !sage was given a power to mime tiller more assistant cl e rks.—(Henr.)—Ou this puint one f..ct was very decided, that the clerks of the Jury Court @toll roue tinued their attend tore in the Court of Session pre cisely as before ; sod lie interred that if the old clerks could thus employ their lime, the addition of new ours was uniteceoenry...-(11eo, hear.) —The Noble Lord then made some remarks on a new auditor provided by the Act. to addition to the new clerks lie had mentioned, there was a Gather power, in case of the absence of a clerk limn sick ness or other umtv..idable cause, conferred upon the presiding Judge of notnitiatioirr an o ccasional one. Before giving in his motion, he begged leave to ray that he should be iterfectly satisfied with an assurance from the Noble Lord that Government would not fill up the new places till the (line he had fixed on. _(Lord Castlereagh having, we believe, Palmated his dissent.) —He looped the Noble Lord would not imagine he had brought forward the mo . i tttt ou the strength of his own op . . He assured him that he had consulted many friends, who all concurred in thinking with him, that whatever merits the Art might possess, some enactments of it, and the mode in which it passed the [twee, were altogether ob jectionable. His Lordship then moved— te That ass humble Address he presented by this House to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying his Royal Highness to give direction' that nose of the additional ap. pointsnents sanctioned by the Jnry Court Act of the present Session of Parliament may lie made, till one month after the commencement of the next Session of Parliament ; or till the Commissioners now sitting in Courts of Justice in Scot land shall have made a report regarding the said Court." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said lie did not mean to review the merits of • measure which had passed both Houses of Parliament, but he trusted the House would indulge him while he endeavoured to answer the arguments of the Noble Lord against it. The Act originally establishing a Jury Court in Scot land, passed in the year 1015, was only temporary, for the purpose of trying the effects of such an in stitution in Scotland. After the Court had sit three years, its advantages were found to be so great that it was resolved to make it permanent, and to extend its power,. It was thought, that when that change was made the business of the Court would he axed.—(Hear, from the Opposition Be Alid say, that no man could doubt the 'ivied be most materially increased by the operation of the late Act, because it no longer left it optional to seta certain cases of action there, but rendered it imperative.—( Hair./—The in crease of business made it necessary to bestow the power of cresting additional officers to meet it. Originally the Court had three chief clerks, and two assistants; by this Act there were to be. if it was found necessary, four chief ar.d three assist- . ants, but not, as the Noble Lord erroneously sup• posed, three additimial assistant', but only one. The whole number would not be ten, as he had thought, bet seven. The Noble Lord would sus pend, in this respect, the operation of the Act till the next Session of Parlisnient. How inju rious such it step would be, might be inferred from the tact, that there were at this moment two hundred case* no the roll for trial. There were to be four Terms in Edinburgh, three Sittisogs each Term, and two Circuits each year. He thought the number of the clerks absolutely ne t` yto the well-bring acid successful proceed ing of the Court. With respect to the mode of passing the Bill, it was inserted regularly in the Orders of the Day the night the clauses referred to by the Noble Lord had been agreed to. Every Gentleman connected with Scotland might have hero aware it was then to come be fore the House, and if any Gentleman had applied to • Noble and Leariied Lord at that time in the House, lie would certainly have shewn too disposi tion to hurry it unnecessarily. The Bill came down front the Lords the 30th of April : it was not read • third time here till the lab of May ; in the Committee no opposition was offered to the clauses. The Noble and Learned Lord therefore could not fairly be accused of hurrying the measure through the House, when lie had no means whatever of knowing there were any objections eidertaineol epilog it. If the motioo should be persisted in he should be obliged to oppose it. Mr. BOSWELL said, Brit when lie saw • Bill containing many new clauses, and imposjug ass ad ditional expense of 3,500/. a year, besides that which would he incurred in erecting hew buildings, had gone through a Committee with but 'revels or right persons present, he hardly thought the man ner of proceedisog fair to the House or to Scotland. He hurl read the Bill, but his objections to certain clauses of it had been overruled by the Noble and Learned Lord, to whose np;ttioto lie had yielded the more wilhagly, es he said the Bill had been sub mitted to the Judges, of Scotland. He had r e .. ceived various letters from Scotland, pointing out many objectionable passages ito the Act. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then argued against the necessity of the additional chief clerk—and ex pressed his opinion, Simone etwistent teed of three, would be competent to the business to be done. He should decidedly support the motion. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, be wished to call the attention of the House to the nodule of the proceed• ink now adopted, which lit thou/pit insist iticosive- Meet sod dangerous; for if tow deliberate Acta of the House were u, be suspended. sod for a time at least nullified, which was tbe object of the motion, est no e couldilte (louse say it had got through business, bream* it Wright, in the same . wry. be 10d ow at oaf future Caws to reltio, I what it had done...(llter, hear.) —The Honnufshle and Learned Gentleman behind him (Mr. PA, well would overthrow an Act of Parliament lento!)• and regularly passed, from an utidersla.al. lug on Ms mind produced by letters from Scot land. The ground of the Noble Lord's nort i t a , was, that in forming and reamodelling a Court cf Justice, one chief and one assistant clerk had bee rt permitted by the Act to he appointed, if the lot. sines* of the Cottrt stimuld require rt. It would also be a preredrnt, full of iticonverrience, to ail. mix the principle, that the House of Commons ou g ht not to legislste without consultin,g the Coin , missioners of Courts of .liedice in Semiarid. If the motion were not withdrawn, he should oppose it. Mr. 1305*E11.t. and Lord CASTILREACH mu tually explained. Mr. ABEacaostaY said, drat the proviitons of the Act, with respect to the new offices, could not Ire entried into effect till December, so that no po.- sible iriconvenience could arise from agreeing to his Noble Friend's furor tttt , or consenting mot to 111 .e • the uppointment till the trine desired, became ever accumulation of busbies* might take place to the Court, it certainly could riot occur to the short space of six. weeks or two months. The Ht.% wet Learried i peritleinan then argued, ill tt there w 4, such a inieundersiamliog and ort,ihke i i rh e in retrying into effect the intentiotts of ilte that it was absolutely neceesary to saowatti it. ttp.- t erti oil . lie also objected to the ilerts• lte, z .- point•-cl by the Clown, rattier than the J:ittgr., general print Oro. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the Crown fel_ t o to:- patience to fill Ito the new offices, MA that not e should not be tided rip ri I a CMIIIIIIIIIIC3tIOIII 611500" be made by the Judges who presided, that Attire were necessary. Mr. BROUGHAM was exceedingly rejoiced to hear th e ~,,,,,t eke e o f the Noble Lord, which might pot sibly induce his Noble Friend not to lives" , his mo tion. The lion. and Learned Geatlemarr then contended at length against the stece.sity of twit additional clerk,. He had understood from pei- MUM at the very summit of their profe..toir it. Scot t:nut, that no addition whatever to the clerks was called for. Lord BINNIN• said, that no parliamentary ground was laid for the motion of the Noble Lord, and he rejoiced that the Noble Lord intended its withdraw it. At this moment lie said there wrre upwards of 200 causes on the list of the Court,ettid lie had no doubt but when the Corot was hater known, its Istorioess would greatly increase. He hoped this would he the case, because he Ilia 60 d,iubt it would be for the advantage of the country if that Court took away the business front the tither Courts in Scollaud, because business in that Court would be extended with greater expedition, and with less expense. Willi respect to the merit of clerks and inferior officers, he tram:: such a ppointment ought to be left to the discrotscr of the Judges of the Court. Mr. BROUGH•St explained. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that it did tint fddlow that those appointments should be made because power was given by the Bill to make these. Mr. J. P. GRANT sail, he did slat certainly 71 , .. teed to the number of clerks to be appointed, lie cause he felt that that matter might be left to tie! Judges of the Court, tool the ilcretinn of lus Majetdy's illiniarra. lie said, that hie 11114 Friends next him made a mistake as tic the ritmantilr of business to be done in that Court. ft w:5 ler inerly a matter of experiment to try cases in the Jury Court; hot it Willi 1/0 longer matter of expe riment, and so future great part of the buorte.s of Scotland, certainly great part of its common Lie business, would devolve oa that Court.
