Until the result of this scrutiny becomes known, no decided steps will be taken in respect to most of the petitions emanating from the Protectionists in Ireland.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTER DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. In reply to Lord BROUGHAM, The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said, that the report which had been presented by the Committee ap pointed to 'consider the subject of manning the Navy, had been adopted by the Government. BILLS OF EXCHANGE. The Earl of DERBY moved that the Bill providing for the payment of Bills of Exchange, due on the 18th inst., on the 17th be read a second time. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his fear that foreign indorsers would feel themselves relieved from all obliga tion in consequence of the Bills not having been pre _ _ sented on the 18th. The Standing Orders having been suspended, the Bill passed through Committee, and, after a few remarks from Lord Truro, who expressed his opinion that Friday ought to be the day for presentation, as alsto from Lord Campbell and Lord Brougham, was read a third time and passed. THE DUKE'S FUNERAL. Lord REDESDALE brought up the first Report of the Committee appointed to consider of the Queen's Message with respect to the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington. The Earl of DERBY moved that the House of Lords be represented in the public procession by the Lord Chancellor alone. The motion was agreed to. LAW REFORM. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose for the purpose of stating to their Lordships what steps had been taken since they last met, in order to carry into execution the bills Est wars` • ..the Court of Chancery, and other matters Mtn that Court, and also to state what were the further mea sures which the Government proposed to lay before their Lordships and the other House of Parliament, for carry ing out the objects which the Legislature had in view or the important subject of Law Reform. The Bills which were passed, as their Lordships were aware, were three in number as regarded the proceedings in the Court of Chancery. One Bill was for the abolishing of the office of Master in Chancery, and introducing a new system, called a cllmber system, with regard to those matters which up to that time had been prosecuted by the Masters in their own chambers. The next Bill was for " the im- provement of the jurisdiction of equity ; " and the third Bill was the " Suitors in Equity Relief Act," which certainly had afforded great relief in the reduction of salaries and the abolition of what appeared to be useless and unnecessary offices. It had been much the practice of Parliament, and it certainly was an easy mode of getting through the business of legislation, not to fill up the outline of such Bills, but to leave almost everything to be carried into execution by orders to be made by the Court after the Bills had passed. He could assure their Lordships, therefore, that the whole of his vacation and recess had been principally occupied by a species of legis lation, sometimes with and sometimes without the assist ancehAacdt of Acts heoefn his r e Parliament.n learned de r ed necessarycolleagues,Theyt ow i negriwere e order to nfouwl lei nffs effect ;put to those what tll ho se opera tion, and he could assure their Lordships from what he had already seen, he though: they would: fully effect everything which the country and Parliament had in view ; and he thought he might venture to assert that the celerity with which matters would be decided in Chancery, would be such as to make the old proverb to be entirely forgotten, and lead to the introduction of a new one. He believed that there was no court in this country in which questions of property could be decided so rapidly—he did not mean with undue haste, which above all things was to be deprecated in the administra tion of justice ; but by " haste" he meant "good speed" —speed so far as was consistent with the most mature deliberation. That speed could now be given to matters arising in the Court of Chancery, and he hoped to show their Lordships, before he sat down, that the expense would be greatly diminished, so as to render that court, and every portion of it, at once rapid in its operations, and cheap to the suitor. (Hear, hear.) There was a crying evil, which had been remedied by some of the orders which had been issued by himself ; it was an ob ject which he had always had much at heart, and had endeavoured to carry into execution in Ireland ; it was this—that there should be a statute of limitation, as it were, within the court as well as without the court. (Hear, hear.) The legislature had passed Acts of Par- I . ..rm.:ant to prevent parties from brintrine. forwar_d _stale rorwa - rd at a period highly inconvenient and unjust. Their Lordships had an order, as to appeals, to this effect : that no appeal from a decree or order of the Court of Chancery should be made after five years from the enrolment of such decree or order. By the early orders of the Court of Chan cery the enrolment was to take place at once ; the intention, therefore, was to compel a party to come to that House for relief within five years after obtaining his decree. But parties had constantly been allowed in the Court of Chancery at any period to come for an order of enrolment, nunc pro tune, which they obtained as a matter of course ; and thus it often happened that 16 or 17 years after the decree in the Court of Chancery parties came and appealed to their Lordships' House. This was an evil of all others most to be avoided. No hasty decision,. no hurry took away a man's right of appeal, but no door should be left open to constant, irritating and long-neglected litigation of this kind. This defect had now been cured by the general orders for the benefit of the public at large. In the first place, nobody is to have the right of appeal in the Court of Chancery after five years ; and, in the next place, every party was to enrol his decree or order within six months ; and after five years had elapsed he was not at liberty to enrol at all, except by the special order of the Lord Chancellor, so that in a case of great neces sity a party might be permitted to do so, but generally all parties would be kept within the time limited. There fore, by this means, there would be a statute of limita tion within the court, as well as without the court. Now, as to the Bill for the relief of suitors in Chancery, the orders under that measure had all been settled, and the great object had been greatly to reduce them in number, and very considerably to simplify them. And with regard to fees, they were not only fewer but less in amount, and the whole system was greatly simplified. Now, he must explain the nature of the funds in the Court of Chancery. He wished to call their Lordships' atten tion, and that of every one in the country, to the state and nature of those funds out of which the costs of the administration of justice were paid, and the means by which he proposed still further to reduce those costs. Notwithstanding the saving which had been effected, 9,0001. a year additional had been thrown on the funds in question by the late improvements, because Parlia ment had given such large compensation, and at the same time had created new offices ; and although the fees had been reduced, yet the expense had been con siderably increased ; the saving to the suitor between the fees imposed last year and the fees which would now be imposed under the scale just issued, would not be less than 30,0001. a year. That was to be accounted for, in some measure, by a large sum, probably 26,0001. a year, having been transferred to the Consolidated Fund, on the ground that the judges ought to be paid, not by the suitors, and so, as, in point of fact, the administra tion of justice ought to be paid for by the public and not by the suitor, the cost of the administration of the pro perty in the court ought not to be paid by the country, but by the suitor. Parties ought to have a right to go to a court of justice, and to have the opinion of a judge free of expense ; but if accounts were to be taken, and estates to be guarded and kept in order, they could no more object to the expenditure for that administration in Court than if the same operation had taken place out of Court, and therefore the country could not be re quired to pay them. There was, therefore, a very obvious distinction in these two descriptions of expen diture. He must now draw their Lordships' attention to the state of the two funds in the Court of Chancery. There were two funds upon which the Court drew—on e is called "the suitors' fund," and the other "the suitors' fee fund." The suitors' fund arose in this way : vast sums of money were in the Court, and those sums which were not required to be invested by the parties the court had been in the habit of investing from time to time, viz., that portion of unemployed cash which the suitor had not re quired to be invested. The suitor was not liable to any fluctuation in the funds, but could demand the amount of his cash at any time. There was now a sum of 2,200,0001. which - had be en invested in this wa y , and that constituted the sui,tort fund. That fund had been appropriated by Parliament to the payment of salaries, compensation, and expenses, and it was now p ro d uc i ng 111,000/. and a fraction, which was appropriated to the payment of the expenses of the court in the administra tion of justice. The sums thrown upon this fund by Parliament amounted to 43,3201., leaving a surplus of 63,523/., which was directed by the Suitors' in Chancery Relief Act of last session to be carried to the suitors' fee fund. The suitors fee fund was a fund derived from duties imposed, fees payable by the suito rs , an d fines incurred by the authority of Parliament. The balance of 63,5231. came in aid of that fund, and the sum this year to be provided for as charges on the fee-fund, would be 157,4501., which would leave a n amoun t o f 93,9271. to be levied this year by fees on suitors generally—the whole amount to be levied for the year ensuing on all the suitors. Although that was a large sum, yet it was small in compaaison with the actual amount of business done. The amount of fees last year was 133,8421., and the estimated amount this year wou ld b e 93,927/. Then th e re was to be added a sum o f 3,832/. o f fees receive d by officers, which would make an amount of 44,439/., which would be the saving effected in the year. B u t then the officers of the Court use d t o f urn ish copies o f instru ments, and chargt a certain amount per folio, which pro duced a sum of 10,000/. a year.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, clegradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision sf Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the new egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of lir. La'Mert, who has taken the most medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in it a distinguished sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, inset with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the nt Selectand Committee on the Metropo lis Water Supply. The Governme the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter end of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the Reese of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded with in the next Parliament. The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the New Ac,' a nd likewise to offer to the ca p italist a perfectly secure means of investment.

EpicE SD, and they said they could do it better if it was left to them. The solicitors were now to furnish copies themselves, and this was not a saving to the suitors, because they would have to pay their own solicitors. This charge was not imposed by the court in any manner whatever. Taking this 10,0001. off the 44,439/., the actual saving would be 34,439/. for the coming year. Now, it was necessary for him to state the particulars of the great fund under the care, and which stood in the name, of the Accountant- General of the Court of Chancery. In the first place, some arrangement had been made, and justly enough too, as regarded the officers, because they had been inclined to give every facility. The Accountant-General's office had been shut during the whole of the vacation, and this was a great hardship to those persons who had small incomes payable from funds in the Court of Chancery. The Accountant-General had at this moment standing in his name a sum of 48,015,8561., an enor mous amount to be under the jurisdiction and care of the Court of Chancery; but he had the satisfaction of telling their Lordships that there was no claim which might not be fully answered from that fund. During the last year the cash and stock which had been turned over ex ceeded 21,000,0001. The cash received by the Court last year, including dividends on stock, was 5,173,6751., and the cash paid 5,993,5391. The stock was of two kinds—stock purchased or sold by the Court, and stock accepted or transferred by the Court. The stock pur chased by the court last year amounted to 2,181,249/., and that sold to 1,829,0091., making together 4,010,258/. The stock accepted in the same period amounted to 2,382,591/., and that transferred to 2,964,089/. Their Lordships would be struck by the similarity of the amounts in the two cases. Putting all the transactions together, the result was that the Court had not occa sion to buy more than 230,000/. worth of stock to meet the all those arrangements ; though the real arrangements amounted to upwards of four millions. Two descriptions of persons were engaged in carrying on those transactions—the broker and the jobber. The latter bought and sold stock all day long, and had the turn of the market each way, and that was his Cii - "PL.,. A ~.:...-..- . ..a... -4et _ i t_ • AL • .A. orfoity-eight millions of stock, went every yon Stock Exchange, and bought all the stock required to be bought, and sold all that was required to be sold. In dealing with this immense fund he hoped to be able to effect a great saving. The matter had been considered by a Committee of the House of Commons, who, in their second report, in 1848, made this observation :—That the system of charging brokerage on the suitors' funds ought to be discontinued ; that the Accountant- General should be paid by a per centage ; and that only the balance of stock required to be bought or sold each day should be bought or sold, whereby the brokerage on the remainder would be saved to the suitor. This re- commendation had never been carried any further. He differed from that Committee as to the appropriation of the saving. There was no necessity whatever for the Accountant-General to go and buy and sell every day, or any day, unless the capital was actually wanted for the occasion. Therefore, by an easy arrangement, by transferring the fu n d s backwards and forwards to the different accounts, everything would be kept perfectly right and regular, and a clear saving of at least 12,0001. a year to the suitor would accrue. But he would not throw that saving into the general fund. He proposed that it should go to the suitor himself, and not to the fund. In taking a whole year's transaction it would only be ne cessary to take all these amounts, and dovetailing them properly in harmony, to sell or buy some 290,0001. or 300,0001. worth of stock. The effect would be to save a vast expense, and the suitor would be as well secured as at _ . present. There was this difficulty in the way : it might be asked, " How can you ascertain the proper price to be paid or accepted by the different parties when there is no longer a real transaction, but when it is only made on paper ?" Fortunately he was enabled to meet that in a most satisfactory manner. The Bank of Englan d took the prices of every species of fund every day up to one o'clock, and then it struck the average. He pro posed, therefore, to take that average at one o'clock as the price at which every one bought and sold that day. That would be fair towards all parties ; and it would be attended with this further benefit. Very often sums were ordered to be transferred to different parties ac- cording to the price on a given day. This same scale of the one o'clock average could be adopted for these transactions ; and a very considerable sum would thus be saved to the suitors. Then there was the fund of 111,0001. a year, arising from cash belonging to the suitor, but in which he had no interest. The Court acted quite differently with this fund, of which it was the trustee ; the monies were invested and the interest and dividends were appropriated at last. The argument in favour of this was, that the Court acted as banker ; and as ordinary bankers were entitled to use balances for their benefit, so the court was entitled to use them for the benefit of the general suitor. What he pro posed was, that, for the future, where any unemployed cash should be laid out by the Court, where it was not required by the parties to be invested, the Court should have the benefit of that investment for two years ; at the end of that period, if there were no opposition, the party amti4&—lpiau4—ur-tigeub-1 1 - ienevt suitor in another way. An account had been laid before the House in 1851, in the shape of a return from the Accountant-General, showing the amount of cash standing in different accounts in his name, not dealt with for ten, twenty-five, or fifty years ; also the stock in his name on which dividends had not been claimed. Many of these sums, it might easily be supposed, could never be called for. He proposed that the Lord Chan cellor should be directed to go through those accounts, not affecting any surplus which had been less than ten years without being dealt with, and to select those sums which in his opinion might be dealt with, and invested without injury to the parties interested—the investment to be so arranged that if ever an account should become a living account, the party interested should find his fund with all the dividends upon it. At present these moneys were invested so as to produce interest to the suitors' fund. What he proposed was, that the Chan cellor should have power to direct that the dividends, from time to time, instead of being invested, should be applied to the administration of justice so as to relieve the suitors. The other fund of two million two hundred thousand pounds to which he had referred, was invested when the funds where at 76 ; they therefore had the benefit of the difference of price. He proposed, also, that at the expiration of a certain number of years this fund should be again examined. He not only believed that it was impossible for justice to be administered more ra pidly in the proper sense of the word, than it would now be in the Court of Chancery, but also that the time would come when the suitors in Chancery would have no costs whatever (as we understood the Noble Lord) to to pay. In dealing with this fund, which he called a sacred fund, he should consider it necessary to exercise the greatest care. The time might come when the Consolidated Fund would be relieved from certain of the charges for salaries, &c., to which it was now liable ; if this fund were sufficient to pay those salaries, there was no rea son why the State should not be relieved from their pay ment. The Bill for effecting these changes was in pro gress, and he should shortly lay it on their Lordships' table. Another small Bill was connected with the sub ject of the Masters Extraordinary in Chancery. At pre sent this appointment was sought as giving to a country solicitor the aspect of being a person very much trusted by the Court of Chancery. He proposed to have a regis try for transacting this kind of - business, and to sweep away the fees now charged by these gentlemen. He would now state what he proposed to do, in order to carry out the wishes of their Lordships and the other House as to lunatics in Chancery. The Government thought it right that there should be a new Commission, to which certain Members should be added, including one of the Vice-Chancellors ° and other legal function aries. The object of the Government was, not only that the reforms already commenced should be prosecuted, and in the same able course, but that there should be an inquiry (for which purpose the learned persons he had last named were added to the Commission) into the working in testamentary matters of her Majesty's Courts. (Hear, hear.) At present one kind of Court had juris diction in one place, and another in another, and the utmost confusion prevailed. (Hear, hear.) The Noble and learned Lord then referred to the case of a Mr. Scott, a lunatic (as we understood), the particulars of which he detailed at great length, but in so low a tone of voice that they did not reach the gallery. He pro posed an extended investigation into the working of those courts, and the establishment of one simple rule for the Courts of the whole country. Another small Bill which he should introduce was connected with the patent laws, substituting stamps in lieu of fees. The Noble and Learned Lord then referred to the subject of lunacy generally, and said that the great difficulty would be to reconcile the several authorities having jurisdiction, which it would be impossible to give up, and to put the business into a shape in which no unnecessaryexpense should be incurred. At present several authorities were exercised over visitors Besides Great Seal, the Ccommissioners, and the vi Besides those, the Act called Lord Shaftesbury'siA_Ls.i.tsohiande appointed eleven commissioners, legal,—whose duty it was to license the asmyelduimnas: had come to require those asylums, and to look after their m the course of time, the existing Acts to visit several amendments.

Now his o y tot)w i plea.. sure of his Noble Friend was thafiriffisrssieSitin fringe upon the liberty of the sarject, and he (the ' Noble and Learned Lord) wished now to propose an enactment which would avoid all danger of that kind, and at the same time attain the object desired. Under the present system, in the case of every person who was supposed to be a lunatic, there was a separate Commission ; but he (the Lord Chancellor) proposed that there should be only one Commission, to which every case might be referred as it occurred. He proposed that in every case notice should be given to the alleged lunatic, and that he should be at liberty to require a jury, unless upon a personal inspec tion by the Chancellor himself the infirmity of the alleged lunatic was so obvious that he would manifestly not be able to form a n op i n i on upon the subject ; but means q would u riy beingbe taken pursuedai nspu to narpnoty pev o r wh e e n r t e a a ny pa e rt xp y en fu si r ve rs hi c s o n u wn e s o e f lfi i s % and himself lunatic. i n t e d r oe Itois t . de was proposed pe du upon pe m do a nt n h d tah e t d o t sh i ae t nci o ti n 3i .ra no b rn e e h il n a l n l f s ra ooiftytl shouldoief the party, but it must be obvious to their Lordships that manifestlynzt he would prupn bes proposed simply was for the Chancello r t o di rect an inquiry before a jury, a when n a e t the f party gratuitous w a cruelty. lyh n i e, s insane, that if the Chancello r hi mse lf saw fit, or if the party lia should desire it, and th e Ch ance ll or was of opinion that * it was a proper case, then he could direct a Commission to issue ; otherwise he proposed that the Master himself should proceed with the inquiry without a jury, and, sub ject of course to objections being taken to his finding. That finding should operate in the same way as an inquisition. By this means he believed that the rights of this unhappy class would be in every way preserved, and that a vast amount of expense would be saved. These inquiries had originally been rendered necessary by the rights of the, crown in the property of lunatics ; but those rights having long ceased to exist, the inquiries were in nine cases out of ten without any value whatever, and in all cases they were almost valueless. At the same time the expenses incurred in them were so monstrous that they amounted to a mockery of justice; for so much was required to protect the lunatic that it often left him without the means necessary for his maintenance. (Hear, hear.) He proposed further, that the expenses should be levied by a per centage upon the property of the lunatics; for he could not agree with the doctrine that a rich man, because he happened to be afflicted with lunacy, should be taxed to support the poor. If it was thought right that the rich should support the poor, let those rich men who were in the enjoyment of a sound mind and able to protect themselves, contribute to the maintenance of his less fortunate neighbour. (Hear, hear.) He (the Noble and Learned Lord) next proposed to save the expenses of unnecessary references, at the instance of next of kin; -fee-.these references frequently swamped the estate of the lunatic. That ought to be prevented. At present a petition was presented to the Chancellor to make in quiries; the Chancellor sent it to the Master, who made his report. It then came before the Chancellor in court; and the expenses of solicitors and counsel were necessarily very great. Now he proposed that where the Master was of opinion that if the petition went to the Lord Chan cellor he would only send it back to him, he, the Master, should have power to proceed at once with the inquiry ; but then the order in that case would be subject to be objected to by any of the parties concerned This alter ation of itself would save a vast expense in the adminis tration of lunacy, and could not lead to any possible . abuse. (Hear, hear.) There was another question of very great importance. A great many references were made to the Chancellor which came before him quite unnecessarily. He proposed that when the report of the Master was not objected to it should be transmitted by him to the office of the Lord Chancellor's Registrar without a shilling of expense to any one. The order could be made by the Lord Chancellor at chambers. There was a large class of persons whose cases had cre ated a good deal of feeling. It consisted of persons with very small incomes ; and with these it was proposed to deal very tenderly. It was intended that when their property did not exceed 700/., or 501. a year, such ar rangements should be made that the bulk of their pro perty should be reserved for their maintenance. (Hear, hear.) Before leaving the subject of lunacy, he (the Noble and Learned Lord) felt bound to allude to an institution Bethlehem Hospital the government of which has been made the subject of serious animad versions. He believed that the governors were ig norant of the matters which formed the subject of the charges ; but as it might be his duty to investigate those charges, it would be im proper for him to make more than this passing allusion. (Hear, hear.) The next subject to which he would call their Lordships' attention was bankruptcy. The Bill of 1849 codified the laws on that subject, and amended them in many respects ; but In order to work out the details of the measure certain rules and orders were necessary. Up to the beginning of the last vacation those rules and orders, though they had been prepared, had never been issued, for they required the approbation of the Lord Chancellor and of eight Commissioners. He was happy to say that eight of these gentlemen had at last been got together, and with their assistance he had been able to issue the new orders. Upon one subject there was a considerable difficulty, and one that had engaged much attention, namely, the charges of the official assignees. The Act of Parliament seemed to give to each Commis sioner power over the allowances to his own official assignee ; and as a difference of opinion existed amongst the Commissioners as to their proper rate of remunera tion, great inconvenience had ensued from the diversity of charges. He was happy to say, however, that he had at length prevailed upon them to agree upon one fixed scale. Complaints had often been made about the excessive remuneration of official assignees ; but t.b o_ ..f.4-0-... . v , ne...,,tba l / 4 4 ..,aul—cyi `burstatu un7 , ' lean , Kruptcits, - and the consequence was that they did receive very large sums indeed—sums larger, in fact, than the salaries of the Commissioners and registrars. That, how ever, had ceased, and they now complained that their incomes were too small. They stated that the standini cost of their establishments were necessarily very high— about 8001. a year ; and he believed that in many instances their complaints were just. The official assignee had a certain per centage on each debt collected. That had been long objected to, and it was contended that the allowance should be on the gross receipts. He (the Lord Chancellor) thought that their demands were fair, and he had agreed to them, but he believed that the scale would be subject to revision. The way in which be should attempt to carry this out was not to fill up any appointment that should fall vacant till the remain ing official assignees should have a sufficient remuner ation without encroaching upon the suitors' fund. He had already begun this system at Manchester. The same difficulty arose with respect to the commissioners. There was no doubt that the business had considerably fallen off, but he hoped that arrangements might be made by which the business might be increased by bringing in a new class of cases. He proposed too that vacancies should not be filled up, so as to bring the number of the Commissioners more into accordance with the actual necessities of the case. He also proposed that the Chancellor should have power to direct the Commissioners in any particular district. He (the Noble and learned Lord) had made very anxious inquiries into the cause? why the business of these courts had fallen off ; and he found that two reasons were assigned to account for the fact. The first was the present scheme of class certi ficates, which operated as a stigma upon the bankrupt, and prevented him from having recourse to the court. Even the " merchant princes" of London with all their wealth and all their caution might fall into insolvency ; and unless they could show that their bankruptcy was wholly the result of unavoidable loss and misfor tune, they would be debarred from a first-class certificate, and would leave the court stigmatised and disgraced. In the body of the Act there was nothing whatever of these class certificates ; but in schedule Z the Commissioner was directed to give a first-class certificate when the bankruptcy wholly arose from unavoidable loss and mis fortune ; a second class certificate when it was partly the result of unavoidable loss and misfortune ; and a third class one where it was not in any degree attributable to unavoidable loss and misfortune. He thought that this plan was to be deprecated, and he should propose to re peal schedule Z. It was exceedingly difficult to say what was and what was not unavoidable misfortune. Their Lordships well knew that the spirit of enterprise was the very life and soul of commerce, and it was ex ceedingly hard to stigmatise a trader who was hone st. iotl ; though unfortunate.

Some amendment, however, would first be needed in the Courts of Bank ruptcy,Lecause, at present, the costs of proceeding in bankruptcy were even greater than in Chancery. (Hear. hear.) There was another matter to which he wished now to call their Lordship's attention. • ' A solicitor wa now allowed by the Act to practise before the Commis sioners of Bankruptcy. That was quite right, but he proposed that some restriction should be put upon at torneys so practising, similar to those which h a d beer_ imposed upon attorneys practising in the County Courts —that was to say, he objected to what were called at torney-advocates. lie did not object to a man's solicitor arguing his case , e i ther in the County Court or Court of Bankruptcy ; but he did object to an attorney being employed to act as an advocate by another attorney, to the exclusion of the barrister. (Hear, hear.) Ilis (the Noble and Learned Lord's), desire was to sec both branches of the profession stand upon their proper basis—to see neither the barns ter trenching on the province of the attorney, nor the attorney usurping the province of the barrister, but each in his place. (Hear, hear.) Depend upon it, twit the system whiel - . was gaining upon them would lo' ave r th e character of CI. bar, and not raise that of the alto rney. Their Lordships had last Session sanctioned a. provision of the C oun ts ; Court Act, by which a barrister n right appear in a Count: , Court without the intervention of an attorney. His Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Campbell) had said.. that this was a point for him (Lord St. Leonard's) to de cide. He had done so, alter a great deal of consideration and with much reluctance ; and he had taken care t state that he did so upon the distinct representation that: the attorneys had threatened not to employ any barrister elsewhere, who should appear in a County Court. (Hear, hear.) lie hoped, however, that a small number of barristers not attempt to put the enactment into force. or to introduce a practice which had never been hear? of previoualy.
