4-O.2VEY MARKET AND C ITY HEWS. CITY, T'wo OV:LOCK. , The accounts received from the manufacturing aistriet s represent that, during the pa' st week, state has been little improvement in th e general t of trade. At Leeds the demand for woollen Dods has been very inactive, and the to an of the Market is decidedly flat. Su;nmer fabrics, how ever, were d e alt in to a fair ci:tent in the ware houses, The manfacturers ger. terally were well e mployed upon export orders, and there had b een some inquiry for the Germa n markets. The Wo ol market at Bradford has ibeen exceedingly q uie t , and there is nothing new to notice in worsted V IIB - Spinners were well employred, chiefly for erne consumption. In piece goods a moderate business has been done, although new orders are 11(4 very readily given out. Business at Man chester has been rather dull, particularly in India , Itrtic ics, owing to the late unravourable ad 'ices by the overland mail, buyers having F or little disposition to ma he purchases. "r the various German markets there was little in quiry as prices were too high to lI Hord a profit 11 Pco tran sac ti ons i n those markets. The demand for Worsted h os i er y at Leicester has been exceed ingbr dull. Cotton goods, however, continued in °o d dem an d a t f u ll ra t es , an d th e lace trade of Not tingham has also shown symptoms of improve tki°ent. In South Staffordshire the iron trade con 4,alles steady, as m o s t o f the large manufacturers c Well occup i e d w i t h t h e execut i on o f o ld contracts, and ' Prices remain firm. in Birmingham the dis turbed state of political affairs on the continent has, o ; So me measure, interfered with the general trade the town. Machinists and boiler-makers, how 'er, hav e f a i r or d ers on h an d, an d for home use the re }t had b een a mo d era te demand for most of the L a Ples of the district. A t Sheffield and Wolver '44lpton business continued very inactive, and the t'lleral aspect of trade wits exceedingly quiet. The Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday ``csed with a very dull appearance ; and 8,000 bales / ere sold at about previou s values. In the Rail- W V Share Market rather more animation was 411 Parent, and prices tended upwards. Notwithstanding the checl z. given to commercial _ en terprise by th e p o liti ca l co: n pli c ati ons abroad, the rec overy in trade is still ma king progress, and as it tlceisssary consequence the demand for money is oe e asionally s ti mu l a t e d. Du ring the last few days the s upply of mercantile billls has increased, but the resources of the market tyre too abundant to t.. 111 ,it of any important alteration in the rates asked ° ankers and brokers, and fir st class paper is still i;ligotiated per cent. under the Bank charge. a r i irig' the present week a call: of 20 per cent., or th i ° '°° o , is to be made on the Chilian Loan, and tho s disbur semen t, t oge th e r with the liquid a ti on o f a ccounts in foreign stocks and railway shares, ma x b 0 expected to create some additional inquiry. is at t hP annual meeting of the Bank of Austral aeir, to-day, a very satisfactory report was pre to :ed, although the profits had diminished owing t i c Commercial depression in the last year. The let the of profit made in the 12 months to Oct., Was £160,460 ss. 2d., from which the usual '"end of 6 per cent., and bonus of 14 per cent., il! et hcr, 20 per cent. per annum, will be payable 1, 0, ;-Pril next. The first poriLion of the Victoria f t Z 4. of £1,000,000 had been disposed of on t „Carable terms. It appear(' d that the state of the t i ot c : i 'y was very satisfactory. After some discus the report was adopted. lie heavy tone has pervaded the market for pub htiscearities- to-day, and although the variation o b eell limited the tendency has denoted a want qr_eanfidence among the speculators.

Closing Price. Business Done. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Fine barley sold readily; other kinds slowly, on former terms. There was only a limited business doing in other kinds of pro , duce, at previous currencies. In the continental markets wheat has changed hands slowly. In prices, however, very little change has taken place. All spring corn has sold to a fair extent, on former terms. Ip. the United State s b ot h grain and flour have realised fiery full quotations. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad the imports were sea sonably good, viz :-10,373 quarters of wheat, 9,323 barley, 13,570 oats, 68 beans, 345 peas, 890 tares, 4,413 linseed, 6,433 rapeseed, 52 sundry seeds, 2,081 sacks and 2,043 barrels of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, were limited, but, on the whole, in fair average condition. The attendance of both town and country millers was limited, and we had a slow inquiry for all kinds of wheat of home produce, notwithstanding that the show of samples was rather limited, at the decline noticed in the currencies on Monday last. However, the bulk of the wheat was disposed of. The show of foreign wheat was not to say extensive. Even the finest samples were very dull, at late rates. In low and damp parcels so little was doing that the quotations were next to nominal. ch Floating cargoes of grai n were a slow sale, but not eaper. Fine malting barley moved off steadily at very full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, at late rates. For malt there was a fair demand, at very full prices. For the time of year, we were fairly supplied with oats, which moved off slowly, at last week's quotations. We had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand for beans, at full currencies. Peas changed hands slowly ; nevertheless prices were supported. rrhe flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's prices. Antwerp & Rotterdam a.

An unusually small number of beasts, in but middling condition, came fresh to hand from our own grazing dis tricts. Notwithstanding the prevailing wet weather, the beef trade ruled brisk at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of fully 4d per 81bs. The general top figure for Scots was 5s 2d, but some few sales were made as high as 5s 4d per Sibs, and a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,650 Scots, short-horns and crosses • from other parts of England, 800 o f var i ous b reeds ; and from Soot land, 200 Scots. We were again very moderately supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, the general quality of which was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was very active, and prices were about 4d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs, in the wool, sold readily at 6s, out of.the wool, 5s 4d per 81bs. About 6,500 sheep were shorn. There was a fair demand for lambs at full quotations, viz., from 6s to 7s per Blbs. The supply was small.

Red moves o ff s t ea dily, at very full prices, and trefoil is quite as dear as last week. Linseed is dull, and the turn cheaper. Fine rapeseed fully maintains its values, but for inferior kinds there is very little demand. Canary, hempseed, and mustard seed remain as last quoted, Cakes are in steady request, at late rates.

(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-LYDDON V. MOSS. Sir R. Bothell, Q.C., resumed his arguments for the re spondent (Mr. Moss) in this part heard appeal, at the sitting of the Court this morning. The contention is whether the security - granted by the late Mrs. Lyddon, without professional assistance, over her estates in Yorkshire and Somersetshire, for her solicitors, taxed and untaxed bills of costs not exceeding £lO,OOO, is a good security ? The argument is not concluded. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls) JUDGMENT.-COWLING V. COWLING. The Master of the Rolls said—This is a question on the construction of a will which is a very short one. The question is this—the late Mr. William Pendock Cowling bequeathed, under a devise, to his wife Sarah Cowling.— "all my goods and furniture, and all my money and notes that may be due to me at the time of my decease." And he declared—" this is my last will and testament." And the question is, whether, under this will and this devise the testator's intention was to give her the whole of his personal estate. The reported eases on the subject are numerous and are not easily reconcileable. His Honourconsidered that under the words of the devise there was a specific bequest to the widow. He referred to the following decided cases illus trating the principles of construction insimilar cases. Milli gan, 2d vol., King's Reports, before Lord Langdale; Milne and Coventry; 5 De Gex and Small ; Morgan, before Vice- Chancellor Sir James Parker ; Godlin and Sznithers; John and George Dudgeon; Do. v. Vhomas ; and Goody and Durham, before Sir John Leech. His Honour made a declaration in favour of the plaintiff. Costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. The funds to be divided according to the specific description in the will. His Honour was of opinion that it was the intention of the testator to give his widow every thing under that description. Counsel in the cause, Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, -(THIS DAY. MA RLBOROUGH -STREET. TUB SUNDAY GAMBLING NUISANCE.---111 the course of the morning several lads were brought up, charged with gambling in the streets on the previous day (Sunday). In the case of oue of them, named Winterton, the constable, Austin, said he saw a group of lads playing at "pitch and toss," near the corner of Newport Market, and pursued him, and in his pocket found a pack of well-used cards. The clergyman who preached near the spot had complained of the conduct of the lads; and there was also a person preient who wished to speak about it. A respectable tradesman got into the witness-box, and said the nuisance was of a most intolerable description. It was not only of an afternoon, but all the whole Sunday continued ; and the language the lads made use of was of the most disgusting and obscene description. Divine ser vice took place near the spot on a Sunday, and while it was going on the gambling was continued with the greatest perseverance, cards being made use of quite publicly, by groups sometimes of a dozen. Mr. Beadon said he was determined to put a stop to it by every means in his power. He should fine them all ss. each or seven days, and if continued he should enforce the full penalty. THAMES. A SHIPWRECKED SEAMAN.—A sailor came before Mr. Yardley and said he shipped on board the Edwin, at Hartle pool, on a voyage to London, with coals, and the vessel was lost on the Maplin Sands on Friday night last. It was agreed that he should have for the voyage from Hartle pool to London and back. He wished to know if he was entitled to his wages. _ _ Mr. Yardley-47p to the time the ship was wrecked. The seaman stated that his captain had not yet arrived in London. Mr. Yardley—You had better wait till he aiTives hero , The seaman--Can I sue the owner ? Mr. Yardley—Yes ; where does - he live ? Tho seaman—ln Cheapside. • Mr. Yardley—Then you must apply at the Mansion• house. r SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A SEAMAN.--Ann Mullins, a big woman of the town, who has made her appearance in this court, on a variety of charges, at least 50 times,was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent assault on George Kennedy, a man of colour. The complainant said he was a seaman, and now living at 69, St. George-street, alias Ratcliff-Highway. On Saturd!y night, he met the prisoner in the Highway, close to the Cock and Neptune public-house, and she asked him for money, and on his refusal to give her any, she struck him down with a large street door-key, inflicting a wound on his head, from which the blOod flowed. When he got up, she struck him again and cut his head, and besides the loss of blood, be had since been in considerable pain. The prisoner, in defence, said the complainant had been staying with her a fortnight, and he refused to pay her. The complainant was recalled, and said that ho was ac costed by the prisoner a fortnight ago, who took him home, and when he told her ho had only a shilling she kicked him out of her house. Police-constable, No. 144 H, said that he found the pro secutor covered with blood on Saturday night. The pri soner was a most outrageous woman, and came out of prison on Saturday after 10 days' imprisonment. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had often assaulted men, and was a violent, unruly woman. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was incorrigible, and had committed a most savage assault. He sentenced her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES.

A NOBLE LORD gave notice :that, on the second read ing of the Church• Rate Relief Bill, ho should move that it be road a second time that day six. months. THIRD READING. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the Norwich New Streets Bill, and the Victoria London Docks Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Earl of RIPON presented a petition from Boston, praying that Dissenters might be enabled to act as trustees of endowed schools. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved for copies of any contracts which may have been made by her Majesty's Government with any individual or company for the con• - struction of electric telegraphs. As he understood there was no opposition to the returns he should not trouble their lordships with any lengthened remarks, but he thought it .was desirable in any future bills that a clause should be in troduced empowering her Majasty's Gove rnmen t t o h ave the exclusive right, in time of war, or any other public emergency, as long as was required. He thought in any arrangements which the Government made with telegraph companies, no subsidy should be guaranteed absolutely, and that no guarantee should be given until the line was com pleted, and the subsidy should only continue so long as the line was in working order. 'The Earl of DONOUGHMORE said the question of elec tric telegraphs was under the consideration of the Govern ment, with a view of ascertaining the best mode of getting electric telegraphs wherever - they might be required with the least public inconvenience. Lord REDESDALE thought that guarantees were alto gether objectionable and unnecessary. The effect of any public company succeeding in obtaining a Government guarantee would be that a monopoly would unduly be created. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS (IRELAND) BILL , This bill was read a third time and passed. THE VICE-CHANCERY COURTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to ask leave to introduce a bill for the purpose of extending the power of the Lord Chancellor, and of providing better accommodation to the Vice• Chancellors. He believed a scheme was in preparation for erecting new courts on the site of a plot of buildings extending from Carey-street to the Strand, and that it was proposed to take £BOO,OOO from the suitors' fee fund for defraying the ex penses. He did not object to such a scheme, but he felt, as Lord Chancellor and guardian of the suitors' fee fund, that he must protect it against invasion. He therefore pro tested against any proposition to apply that fund to any purposes than to those for which it was collected. The bill was read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- 2 -(THIS EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Lord LOVAINE took the oaths and his seat for North Northumberland, and Mr. CoLE for Enniskillen. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented, praying for the rejec tion of the Highways Bill ; for an investigation into the subject of the Newfoundland fisheries question; for the re jection of the Government Reform Bill ; for the adoption of vote by ballot for members of Parliament; for the aboli tion of church rates, &c., &c. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Shepton Mallet Water Bill was read a third time and passed. _ _ The following bills wero considered and ordered for third reading :—Falmouth Docks and Harbour, Great Western and Brentford Railway, Kirkwall Harbour, Much Wen lock and Severn Junction Railway, Norwich (City) Water, Sunderland and South Shields Water, Wimbledon ant Dorking and Epsom and Leatherhead Railways. The Kingston- pon-Thames Gas Bill was read a second time and ordered be committed. The report of the committee on the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company Bill was considered and agreed to. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the following was agreed to :—That the order, that the Sittingbounie and Sheerness Railway (Working Arrangements, &c.) Bill be committed, be read and discharged. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS IN IRELAND Mr. BRADY gave notice that on Friday next he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the registration of voters in Ireland. EXPENDITURE IN THE DOCKYARDS. • .A.A.I A..", Sir J. PAKINGTON said that in consequence of some misstatements which had been made in reference to the ex penditure by Government in the dockyards by the noble lord the member for Sandwich, he begged to give notice that he would lay before the house a detailed account of the expen diture in question when the navy estimates came again be fore the house. That course was rendered necessary by the misstatements alluded to, in which it had been alleged that during the last 11 years no less a sum than £11,000,000 had not been accounted for as expended in dockyards in a reckless manner. MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the hon. member for Bath, as a member of the Metropolitan Board, w h at steps had been taken by that board with reference to the main drain age of the metropolis, particularly on the south side of the river ? Mr. TITE, in reply, entered into a statement, from which it appeared that the works had considerably pro gressed, that they would be completed in about four years, and that money was lent by the Bank at 34 per cent. for the completion of the 'undertaking. PULATION &c. Mr. BYNG moved four a return , of the population and number of houses, according to the c ensus o f 1851, in each of the places named in schedule 1 in the representation of the people bill, and in the parishes of Chelsea, Kensington, and Hammersmith, respectively; of the number of persons rated to the poor at £lO and upwards ; and of the number of persons rated to the poor at and upwards in each of the places named in Schedule 1 in the Representation of the People Bill, and in the parishes of Chelsea, Kensington, and Hammersmith respectively. Agreed to. INLAND BONDING WAREHOUSES. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer, whether itwas the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to establish inland bonding warehouses in England and other parts of the United Kingdom ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject was under consideration. TITLES TO LANDED ESTATES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. SLANEY expressed his approval of the provisions of the bill. Mr. MALINS expressed his strong disapprobation of the bill, which he considered quite unnecessary. Since the passing of the Encumbered Estates Court Bill it appeared, from the statement of the hon. and learned member for Ennis, that there had been only two applications in Ireland For the Warwickshire Handicap 3 to 1 was offered on the field; 4 to 1 was taken about Etoile du Nord, and the latter odds was offered against any other. 13 to 2 was offered against the favourite for the Northamptonshire Stakes, and 9 to 1 was at last taken about Mutineer whilst 10 to 1 was the highest offer against Little Agnes 9 to 1 was booked about Drogheda for the Chester Cup, and 1,000 to 55 was laid against Pole Star. The Promised Land was in some force for the Two Thousand, and 11 to 1 was taken and afterwards offered against him for the Derby. 20 to 1 was taken about Gamester whilst Cavendish retrograded to 33 to 1. CLOSING PRICES. ~ ~' {LEFT SPEAKING,] SPORTING NOTES. WISHES FOR WARWICK. Much has of late years been said and written to the disparagement of the Warwick meetings. The parsimonious make-money spirit which has actuated the committee of management, the supposed bias which the (with all his faults) popular C. C. has shown towards certain parties, have been attacked in clubs and censured in newspapers. Still the gathering prospers, and although the programme for the coming meeting presents little promise of abundant sport, yet the meeting will be patronised by turfites of all grades and distinctions. Leamington has already added to its usual visitors many persons of note who generally sojourn there for the race week. Horses have arrived at Warwick, and the " curious characters in cut-away coats" congregate at corners to compare the chances in the cards. If the weather be only propitious a large assemblage will be at tracted to the course; but at my present writing there seems no signs of change in the skyey in- fluence. Although the list comprises a variety of items, yet it really suggests few comments. Amongst the entries to some of the races are the veriest duffers that ever wore tt saddle; but, as large for tunes have been lost in betting upon races between maggots, it is reasonable to suppose that a struggle with bad horses, if their chances be pretty evenly balanced, will meet all the exigen cies of speculation. The insignificant class of animals amongst the acceptances for the Willoughby Handicap is pretty accurately indicated by the fact that Mysterious Jack's weight is the highest " left in." lam really at a loss to determine the relative chances, for they appear to be "much of a much ness." If Drapery can gallop at all she ought to win, and with her I must couple Charles the Second. Throughout last season I was a staunch adherent of the King-at-Arms, who, I expect, will prove the correctness of my judgment. He showed gameness enough, and the only ques tion arises is, " Can he stay ?". His father, however, did so before him, and why should not he ? I shall not, therefore, look for a more trustworthy champion for the Trial Stakes. Farmers' Races are generally more ludicrous than interesting. They afford opportunities for the most extraordinary eccentricities of horseman ship, and, after all, amuse the spectators as much as the amateur jockeys. I do not like to deal with the probabilities for this description of race, but as Broadway Swell has repeatedly shown in public, I am inclined to think he will be able to cut out his opponents. Rattlebone, a scion of the once savage but now docile circus horse, Cruiser, will carry off the 20 sovs. sweepstakes, and as the only animal of known pretensions likely to oppose him for the Two Year Old Stakes on the Wednesday will be White Rose, we may place that event also to the credit side of Mr. T. Parr's account. For the Handicap Plate of 50 Sovs, the same horse has been weighed twice. Chaucer and the Poet are one and the same, and by what reasoning the handicapper was induced to place 6st 41b on Chaucer and 6st 121 b on the Poet I am at a loss to imagine. Did he handicap names or horses? Contract and Table Bay are, I opine, most likely to show in front. The "regularly hunted" Mr. Sykes ought to gallop his opponents to death for the Debdale Stakes. Tease will win the Welter Handicap if he goes to the post. Having a partiality for animals that have shown form, I am compelled to select The Greek for the Warwickshire Handicap, albeit my belief in him would be materially shaken 'by the appearance of Yellow Rose amongst the startets. The " French division" have great hopes of Franc Picard's chance for the Steeplechase. They have, too, good grounds for their confidence, and I shall fully expect to see the horse figure amongst the foremost competitors. Escape Isrill find the course somewhat more suited to him than that at Liver- pool, and taking into consideration the forward position which he held in the Grand N a ti ona l , nearly from start to finish, I shall be prepared to see him sustain his jumping reputation. Tease will of course be dangerous, but lie has done quite enough work of late, and I shall therefore place my undivided confidence in ESCAPE. At this early period of the week it would be absurd to express an opinion on the probable issue of the other events. The two meetings of the past week were most successful. The Nottingham gathering was par ticularly interesting ; but those who assisted at it complained bitterly of the inclement weather and the riotous conduct of certain jockeys, who delayed the start for the Two Year Old race upwards of an hour. Their little " game" will, lam assured, bo speedily stopped ; but how to do it? is a question difficult to answer. The investments in the market have been limited, but not devoid of interest, and by the en d o f the week I shall doubtless have to record several important changes in speculation. A FRESH MAN DISSOLUTIONS OF PARLIAMENT.—" A Member of the House of Commons," says :—As some misconcep tion seems to have arisen on the question of a dissolu tion of Parliament, I may be allowed to state the usual courso pursued by the Minister of the day when desirous of advising , such a measure to the Sovereign. It does not appear that a Premier can apply for a dissolution without stating some reason or came for so doing. The customary mode, from the various precedents in our politi cal history, seems to be for the Minister to state—" I am de sirous of promoting a certainmeasure; the opposition in the House of Commons is too strong against me ; but I think, if the sense of the country is taken, I shall have a majority in my favour." Such was the course taken by Mr. Pitt in respect to Fox's well-known India Bill ; such was the course followed by Lord Palmerston in 1857 with regard to the China war ; but can Lord Derby, as an honest man, say to the Sovereign, that if he is beat on his Reform Bill , and the sens e o f th e country is taken, that it will be in hi s favour! ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.— MR. HARRISON'S BENEFIT.—it will be aeon by our advertising columns that Plotow's light and riant opera of "Martha," which proved so great a success last season with the Itali an company at has been selected by th e leading English o f the New Ope ra H ouse for his benefit t e e o n v o e r n an t - gad lessee rden o this (Monday) evening. We doubt n o t h e w ill b e wel comed b y a crowded auditory. A new ballet, called "Robert and Bertrand," supported by the inimitable pan tomimist, Mr. W. H. Payne, his talented family, and Morlachi and Pasquale, will take the place of the pantomime on this occasion. RECRUITS WANTED BY HER MAJESTY'S WAR STEAMER EDI NBURGH. --Recruits, it appears, are wanted by her Majesty's war steamer Edinburgh, at present lying at Queensferry. It is not necessary that the men or boys should have been to sea before. They must be of a specified age and height, and able-bodied. A novel feature in the announcement of the ship's requirements is, that boys on offering themselves must be accompanied by one of their parents, or if they have none, by their guardian. No boys will be entered under seventeen, or above twenty years age.—Caledonian Mercury. for judicial declaration as to title of an estate, and en iniefry into the subject, he found that practically there only one such application. Therefore, reasoning from the operation of the measure in Ireland, it would be evident that such a bill as the present was not a requirement of the time, and he contended that it introduced a dangerous inno vation into the law of the country to bind the rights of any absent parties by judicial declaration. The insertion of advertisements in a newspaper, and posting placards over an estate, as was proposed, would not provide sufficient safeguards, because it could not be expected that a man would always be looking into such advertisements, or employing agents to sea that no placards were put up on his estates to guard against his property being taken pos session of by another party without his knowledge. There was no analogy between landed property and other descrip • tions of estates, and any attempt to equalise its facility of transfer would inevitably fail. It was inherently impos sible that they could effect the same simplicity in the trans fer :of land as in that of a ship or similar property, and it could not be doubted that at all events it would be many years before the bill could I come into practical operation. If, however, the measure did come into operation, that operation would b e mos t mis chievous to the interest' of the conununity. He arrived at that conclusion from his practical experience, and it was his sincere conviction, but if h e cou ld b e satisfied that he was in error, he would be only too happy to give the bill his support. Mr. HEADLAM supported the bill. The principle of this bill was to impose on the registered owner the onus of proving his title, and though there were difficulties to con tend with in reducing the principle into practice, they were not unsurmountable. (Hear, hear.) Ihe advantages of the measure far exceeded any disadvantage s to which it could possibly give rise, and it would introduce a change that would be of great benefit, namely, that they would have an experienced conveyancer investigating a title with a greater degree of accuracy than was provided for by the existing system. (Hear, hear.) He contended that though the the effect of the bill would be to enhance the value of band, because it would render the title more secure, still the benefits of the provisions far outbalanced by any drawbacks such as that in question. Mr. BOWYER objected to the bill, because it proposed to create a court •whose decrees would affect persons not before it, an anomaly which did not exist in any country in the world. If this bill did not make a bad title a good one, it did nothing, and a person having a bad title would not go the court, but rely on his possession. In the case of a person having a good title, he would not go to the court, so that really the bill in nearly all cases would be inoperative. Any person acquainted with the subject must know that it would be quite impossible to render the transfer of land in England as easy and simple as other property. exi e• novo- a less aban forth went ad as )ssing whose [ cost. dying ;, and pre ;nage ;taro ratcli that noble his - the elves wait, elop: and them ecep i the prin- and ieric and ives hen lted Ewer the tent hick reer ly in ; in we the The be tion we gen g a )ry. arly San no 1 of COM ian. rit est .ial 1021 89 571 I 95i 68 1 I 38 71 1021 1 581 f 381 71i 1 (31 1144 95 I
