A further hearing on Wednes- I, day next. , Lords Onslow 'and apfgrtli took the oaths. and their seat. , -TIC ADNIINISTRATION OF WS. IN SCOTLAND. Lord GR4I'VVILLE..rose, pits tant to petice, • to, call the attention of the Hease.'to a Bill whiCh.hein tended to introduce this nient, for• the better regula tion of the Courts of Justice in Scotlaod, and w,hieli. was framed.uppo the Resolutions which he had last Session the honour Of submitting to their Lordships' to the -same effeCt. A misconception had .gono abroad, which he was anxious, in the first plebe-, set right, viz that the objea of. his plan was,, an sitnilation of the Laws:,of Scotland to the Laws bf this Country. Never hazt it entered into his mind . to attempt to mould the customs and the prejudices of one Country upon those . of :another.. -It woulds argue littfe kpowledge on his part of human•nature, or of the unphant nature of-those national prejudices. .His only intention was, to propose such regulations as must facilitate,as well as improyeiheAdministra- i lion of justice in'Scotland: His Lordship then eted tered into a. division and detai)s of-his plait 5 the leading . features of.which are, Ae r divide the gotta of • Session into three Courts, to ,esteblish e e •Conrt e of Review, and to introduce, tei c eeertain,ex,tent,. thi , mode of Trial by Jhry. '1 he. .from the constitution of the Court of Session, as . flow consisting of fifteen Judges, who delivered their opinions seriatim, and to none of whom attaned : any responsibility for his particular opinibti, .most be obVious to every one ; nor Was the 'proposed chang-e. any infringement of the AC3 of treion. ne cessity of a 'Court of Review; Or intermediate appeal, • every one who observed the state•Of• business in that House with respe& to Appeals from Scotland, must be equally convinced, for that busihess had of late .years so. r accuiriulated, and Was condo:title; to accurno late,. that there were now before" their Lordships . three times more Appeals ireai ScOttand alohe; than the whole of the - Appeelsfroin Etigrandand Ireland. In a wor,d,'we cam: so near the ends of bar means in this:lent of our ftitietions; that,it he might beTallbw ed the expression, we it.l'eady in i.staie of bank,• . 1 te nee .the tiee,-11, necessity of some diode' of dintipishine the dudet of th•it buSiliess, which c'euld only '• uy inn intermediate COurt of AO . peal, ite• :mating of no AppealS here, except agaitee judgment To the intiodu!:.tion of the • ~Tr al by Jury there Might be more objeetion'; but it •• should be recol .eEted tot he did not intrOdtiCe'it for the first time, but only proposed to' revive` Neither did he propose 'to intrOduce it id all .cases, but only in cases where perSonal rights' were Coil erned ; in cases of lafided property the ad- ministration of the Laws is to remain as before•-- - - These were the prominent points of his plan ; and he anxiously, wished that their Lordshipi would be e _stow upon it their full attention and consideration. More time had already been allowed for the exaMiva , tion of its provisions than ever"had been 'allowed fur any business of whatever' nature. He shoilld also propose a distant day, this daythreg weeks, for the '- second reading, that there might be'tinie for the Bill again • to go to Scotland, and haven second considera tion in-that partgof the Country. It was agreed upon all.handsthat something of the -sort was indispen-e sible ; he was truly solicitous that they would all give their assistance to his obje&, and then he heP;ed it . might be as perfect as the infirmity of human nature, and the inadequacy of all human. institutionS,'Would allow. His Lordship then moved the first reading ,of the Bill for ,the better Regulation of the-courts of Justice in Scotland. • The Duke of MaNTROSE, • since this measure was first introduced to the House; when it appeitied' • to him - entitled' to his concurrence, .had much -con versation respeetirig its effects with persons' deeply versed in the Law of Scotland, which conversation induced hini to alter in a great degree the opinion he had first formed- Of the plan—He wished' the Noble Baron had divided the Bill, and' then 'most'of his objedions might be 'reinoved--1-le thought the Court of ,Review would be wholly, inadequate to the purpose proposed, but he was still more averse to 'the introdnetion of the• Trial by Jury, which he was satisfied must be . produCtive of 'very sericus tonse quences- He wiehed,' the Cc;urt to -be 'divided into two, rather than into three; and, above all, he was anxious that the Scotch- Lordsnf the Session should be consulted, and examined at their Lordshipk', Bar, uporethe most material points. - • PLI)f),V was always sensible, of the•nece4- Shy of a measure like the present abut he feared it might be found liable to Mbre objeetions - than the •_Noole, Baron seemed to beeaware of, more .espe4. •tially as' to the introdOOkin of the Trial byJniy. yet such was his sense of its indispensible necessity, that the measure would have the to-operatiOn of his humble abilities. - He did not think that it would be possible to preclude all appeals but those for firial Judgment; but thiS • was • a-- point Whieli'lle would - -argue more at length when 'the'details 'of the plan were more properly before the •House,' • . Lord HA IFKESBUR-Yaltuost entirely : concurred - in what had fallen. from' his' Noble and' Learned' Frieod ; but felt- Atilt digposed to accede 'to the 'gene -ral idea of the measure. The Trial by Jury, 'as ap plicable to the Law' of Scotland, Might be'subjeet to, • much objeetioneleot, in the .-present stage of. the business, he was not prepared, to deliver a positive 'opinion. , • • • • Lol* ELLENBOIIOUGH spoke in the highest terms o f tile' able and luminous Manner in which the busiaess:was opened-by his 'Noble\ Friend: As ,to •• hearing Appeals from Scotland,- he perfeCtly -agreed with him, that•our means in that respect were' exhausted, and that the House was bankrupt in that ► part of, its business.. Whit he proposed was not :matter of choice: , and expediency, but of: altsblot ! l necessity. As to-the Trial by Jury c he,coulcl believe that the - people of Scotland.could be.capabl , t of -rejetaing it. It was the proudest privilege of Englishrnen,,andih de woul not, listen...to a Petition against it, unless it appeared signed- by ttrnbcr:; equartO.the' population of Scotland. .Ind .1; to see and, value the benefits of such:a privilege, would argue a judicial blindness which . he could nOt account fora - : . Lord SUFPOLK,gavelbis - co'rdial support to the measure, as, in hi op pion, higuly condoive to the ~happiness, o f Scotland.. - • Lord dRENTILLE was, happy, to observe th'at tliei7e was no material obj..6tiutis to the i)lati, aird promised to make it his study to remcii - e their, as Fir as' n his p3wer..ll - le should . allOw as inlich time ag possible for further consideration,. -- and v.-onldy there fore, not propose . going into a omtAit. i t i :e. till. aho.t this daY month, alter wrhich inc :Easier would intervene, and the third reading might fore be deferred- tift.,i few days after that period.: Lofd ELDON applauded the aceOrn!.nOditinz disposition of the Noble .Baronet, and at ver„ted to the details.Of the Bill rcspecling the introduftion. of the Trial b) - r Jury.
