The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, immediately upon taking his seals moved that the Lord Speaker should give his orders for the publication of the Trial of the Eail of Cardigan. The Earl of - ELDON wished to take the oppor tunity of adverting to a circumstance that had taken place on the trial of the Noble Earl. Orders were given by the House for the attendance of all the Peers, Judges, and the different officers of the House. Now the Masters in Chancery being considered the messengers of that House, one of them on the occasion of the trial of the Noble Earl came down and was refused admission by the officers of the House, stating that the reason of tie refusal was, that no orders had been given by the Lord Great Chasnberlain for their ad mission. He (the Noble Earl) had no doubt that the omission of such order had been quite unintentional. He however thought it his duty to allude to the subject. There was another circumstance to which he wished also to allude, and that was, that in a portion of the address of her Majesty's Attorney-General he made use of the expression—no doubt out of regard to the Noble Lord at the Bar—that he was glad in having to prosecute that Noble Lord—that he could say that there was nothing of moral delinquency in his conduct, Now, unless it was stated that the Right Reverend Pre lates had requested permission to retire in the early part of the day, it might be supposed that they concurred in the observation of the Learned Gentleman. He (the Earl of Eldon) was sure that those Right Reverend Prelates would never countenance such proceedings as had taken place ; and although he (the Earl of Eldon), • was prepared to say tb&t the -present state sef:locie'y - could not go on unless allowances were nitfe - tbirthe feelings cf parties in certain situations, yet be must confess that his opinion was that the high feelings of her Majesty's Attorney-General had carried him too far when he made that statement to which he (the Earl of E.don) alluded. The Bishop of LONDON apprehended that the Right Rev. Prelates could not be implicated, even if they had been present, as according to the statement of the Learned Attorney General, because they attended there on the occasion merely as Peers. Had he been present he should have heard that sentence with great regret, became he believed that there was nothing that called for the ex pression, and therefore the Learned Attorney-General h a d gone beyond the limits of his province. He hoped that. their Lordships would take the question which was involved in the trial into their consideration, in order to see whether something could not be done to put an end to a custom which had ori ginated in a barbarous age. It was the remains of that chivalry, which perhaps was of great use at the time it prevailed, but which was totally incon sistent with the manners and customs of the present day. Earl MOUNTCASHEL wished to put a ques tion to her Majesty's Ministers on the subject of duel ling. He thought something ought to be done on the subject, for if it were allowed to stop there, the House would be considered as giving colour to the shameful ma lignity that had been shown in several instances: The question that he wished to put was whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, Lord BROUGHAM—A new question cannot be put across the House while there is one question unde cided before Hear, hear.) The Earl of SHAFTESBURY wished to say, with reference to the statement made by the Noble Earl (Eldon), that all the Judges and Peers were ordered to attend; but that the Masters in Chancery, by virtue of their office as messengers of the House, had no claim to attend there. After a few observations from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, which did not teach us, Lord ELLENBOROUGH said there was sonic thing e:roneous in the statement of t'..e Noble Lord. The Bishops had no more reason to leave tie House than any otter individual. He (Lord Elleuborough) eppretiended it was open to any Pe it on any occasion to leave the House without voting. It I was so held in what was commonly called the Queen's trial. The House could compel the &lend :ince of Pcors et their proceedings, but they could not compel Peers to vote. The case might be one on which a Peer could not conscientiously vote. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had no doubt that• a Peer had a right to withdraw and not vote ; but the . reason he .apprehended why the, Bishops wished to retire, yet did so under protest, was to assert and maintain their right of sitting at all proceedings, and, if they liked, to vote. Lord REDESDALE said the Bishops had made the same protest in the case of the Duchess of King ston. He believed the Lords Spiritual always claimed the right, because the Peers denied their right of sitting in judgment on Peers. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he believed it would be found that the proceedings were in the usual form. It was usual for the Bishops to ask leave to re tire without voting, and it had been done on this occasion as ea former trials. It was previous to their Lordships being called upon to give their ve that the Archbishop of C an terbury asked leaver the Lords Spiritual to retire. The Noble Earl 64 . moved that thee Lord Speaker should give dir ection* , for the printing of the Trial of the Earl of Cardigan, on Tuesday last.—Agreed to. The Earl of RIPON gave notice, that on Monday next be should move for correspondence relative to cer tain transactions with the Court of Persia. DUELLING. SHIPPiNG INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

BaisTor,, FEB. 18.—Sailed the Governor Douglas, Hyde, for New York. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL then rose to put a question to her Majesty's Government. He belieyed the trial thet had recently taken place in tlieir Lordships' House was for duelling, yet he found, that no later than yesterday morning, a duel had taken place, et which one of the parties was wounded. He con ceived, according to the Act of Victoria, these parties ought to be taken up and brought to trial. Ile thought this a favourable opportunity of bringing the question before their Lordships. It was his opinion that duos might be put a stop to ; but the way to do it would be to pass an Act to meet the different cases that were productive of duels. Duels might be divided into two classes. Those resulting from minor insults and offences, and those from offences of a graver nature. He believed that in Prussia there was a Court of Honour, which worked well, and he wished a similar measure was adopted in this country. The classes of a serious nature ought to be taken into consideration. If a man seduced another man's sister, her brother called him out. And why ? Because the law afforded him no redress. He conceived offences of this nature ought to be made criminal offences. He thought it a great defect in the law that if a man's daughter were seduced, he could only bring an action for the loss of his daugh ters services. He was sure, though some Noble Lords might think lightly of it, that this was a great defect. Tho Noble Earl then adverted to the discipline of tv.e army and the conduct of superior officers towards their inferiors, which, we understood him to say, was produc tive of duelling.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted her ROBBERIES IN OMNIBUSES.---GAUTION TO Majesty's .

The proper voters were swamped by pauper votes, and the conse quence was that very improper guardiais had been re turned. The law now provided no remedy for an im proper election, and it could not be set aside. Nothing would put an end to the system but the establishment of open voting. The Marquis of NORMANBY thought the views entertained by the Noble Earl were much exaggerated. No doubt in a country where an entire new system had been introduced so lately, some evils were to be ex pected, but his information did not lead him to believe them to be so great as stated by the Noble Elrl. He could only repeat that both the Commissioners and the Government had the intention of meeting the evil wherever it might be proved. The Earl of FINGAL said the system had not yet had a fair trial. It would therefore`be premature to make any alteration such as that suggested by the Noble Earl. Open voting would make a radical altera tion in the law ; it would deprive the owner of his right to vote by proxy and plurality of votes. The Earl of WESTMEATH would willingly give up chore rights for the object of getting rid of the pauper voters. After a few words from Lord FITZGERALD and the Earl of FINGAL, the conversation dropped. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from an individual, complaining of the Copybold Enfranchise ment Act. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD also presented a pet tion from Chester, which was signed by the Mayor and several clergymen of all denomin,ltions, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death in all cases except for the crime of murder and treason. THE LAW'S DELAY. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then presented a petition from Itaac`Winter, of Wilton, in the county of Somerset, representing himself to be of the age of 70 years ; that he had been for the last twenty years a litigant before the Courts of Westminster, and during the greater part of that time in their Lordships' House ; and that the cause, which was an ejectment, tried about twenty years ago, for the recovery of an estate in the county of Somerset, still remained undecided. The petitioner prayed for a speedy decision. The Noble and Learned stated, that undoubtedly the question was one of extreme difficulty, and that there had been the greatest division of opinion among the Judges ; but he hoped that after the return of the Learned Judges from the Circuits, this embarrassing cause would be dis posed of. ST. SULPICE. The Bishop of LONDON, on behalf of the Bishop of Exeter, gave notice that that Right Rev. Prelate would on Tuesday next present a petitio❑ from the proprietors of real ( states, merchants, and other inhabitants of Montreal, praying the House to address her Majesty not to give her consent to the ordinance of the Gover nor incorporating the Seminary of St. Sulpice in Montreal. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow, praying for the equalisation . ot Colonial duties. PRIVY COUNCIL. Lord BROUGHAM raid on 'the table a return, showing the number of days the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council had sat in each year since its forma tion, and the number of causes now pending, from which the Noble and Learned Lord observed it appeared that instead of sitting for 18 days in -1840, as had been stated, the Court had sat 36 days. In one year it had sat 48 days. With respect to the state of the business, he found that since the Court was formed from 310 to 3120 causes, some of them of great length, had been disposed of. The arrear, if it could be called such, was, that exclusive of the appeals from the native Courts of India, there were just six appeals standing ready for hearing from all the other colonies of the empire. The Indian appeals from native Courts were six, and the Admiralty and other Courts were six also, making 18 causes which were ready for hearing, and no more.— ( Hear, and a laugh.) It was not necessary to detain their Lordships by referring to the causes which were ready in "November or December; but before the month of November there were only four or five ex clusive of the Indian appeals ready for hearing, and of these five every one had been disposed of. He should make a distinction of course bctween these causes and the Indian appeals generally, in which no instructions had been sent to the English agents to bring them for ward. He thought it right to state these circumstances which were borne out by the returns he now moved to have printed ; and in justice to the Learned Judges who attended that Court, and who devoted an large a por tion of their time . to the public service without the , slightest remuneration.—Agreed to. THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. The Effrl of DEVON rose to lay on the table a Bill for the Better Administration of Justice. He did so in pursuance of the recommendation of her Majesty's Spcech. He perceived by the Votes of the other House that two measures of considerable import ance in relation to the subject had been brought for ward there, but there were other matters, connect with the trial and conviction of minor offences through out the country which required and demanded serious consideration. He wouli not now enter into the details of the measure, but would merely lay on the table a Bill founded on the Reports made to that House by persons very competent, and whose opinions must carry the greatest weight.—Leave given. The Bill was accordingly laid on the table and read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition tfrom the Mayor and Aldermen of the borough of Don caster in favour of the Drainage all. The Noble Mar quis postponed the Committee on that Bill till Tues day next. POOR LAWS (IRELAND). The Earl of GLENGALL moved for a return of the correspondence between Mr. Nichols, the Poor-law Commissioner, and the Irish Government, on the sub ject of the valuation of unions under the Poor. law Act. It appeared that directions had been given to two bar risters by the Irish Government to inspect the valua tion of the unions, in order to ascertain the number of rate-payers entered on the valuation list, anti to com pare them with the number of persons registered in the country, and who were entitled to vote at elections.— His reason for moving for this letter was that if calcu lations were to be founded on such inspections they must be fallacious, inasmuch as few of the inspections were completed. In the south of Ireland he believed there was great objection to the valuations. There was another part in the letter he thought deserving of some notice. That was the great anxiety which ap peared to exist on the part of the Government that these inspections, and all matters'connected with them, should be carried into effect with the greatest possible secrecy - . He did not mean to say that any thing incorrect was intended, but he thought that these injunctions to secrecy gave rise to suspicions which he needed not to say lie thought were unfounded. It gave rise to suspicions that the Poor-law Commissioners were used in some respect for political purposes. The Noble Earl then gave some explanations relative to a change which he had made in the terms of the motion, and said the point he wished to arrive at was the letters written by the Irish Govern ment to Mr. Nichols, and by Mr. Nichols to these barristers. The Marquis of NORMAN BY said there would be no objection to produce the papers moved for by the Noble Earl, either by the original or amended motion. He trusted he need not detain their Lordships long in re ply to the two objections of the Noble Earl. He (the Marquis of Normanby) thought the Noble Earl's objections, as to the complete accuracy of their calcula tions, would apply better to any Bill which might ar rive there, as he trusted it would, in an unmu tilated shape. The Government had, for their own in formation, given these directions to tho Poor-law Com missioners, and he (the Marquis of Normanby) could not conceive any course more fair and open than that adopted by the Government. The Governmenriorished to have correct data on which to form their calculations, and to found a legislative measure on the basis of the Poor-law valuation, a plan which had met with the ge neral concurrence of all parties: The Noble Earl did not do more than allude to the uncertainty of any calcu lation derived from such a source. The other objection ww, that the inqiriry bad been made as quietly as pos sible. What co ad be more natural than that the Go vernment should wish to obtain information without ex citing expectations, which the result might render them unable to fulfil ? And surely it was on every account undes:rablu that expectations should be excited, or that those valuations which the Noble Lord had stated to be iucomplete, should be the basis of any such expec tations. Lord FITZGERALD hoped there wouhl be no objection to give also a copy of the Report. The Marquis of -NORMANBY l•al not seen the Report yet, and therefore coull not say whether it would be proper to layit on the table or not. The motion was then agreed to. The Marquis of NORMANBY said, in answer to the communication made by his Noble Friend (the Earl of Devon) respecting some very extraordinary proceed ings which bail taken place. in a union in Ireland, ho had to say that on the very day he haa'brought the matter under his notice, a communication was made to the Poor-law Commissioners stating how the interpola tions had been made in the valuation papers. The Board of Guardians acquitted the valuators of all fault in the proceedings. They had trusted the making out of the schedules to a clerk who had committed the offence and had been reprimanded for it. The Poor law Commissioners were not quite satisfied and had ordered the Assistant-Commissioner, Mr. O'Donoghue, to make further inquiries into the matter. The Earl of DEVON would not upon such a state ment form any opinion upon the subject. He trusted the inquiry would be pursued so that such improper conduct should not again be committed. The Earl of GLENGALL said he w'shed to say a few words upon this quat;on. The offence was com mittA in the union of Clogheen. In the valuation papers, five of his tenants who were 101. freeholders had attached to their names the appellations of " Tory and disturber." The reason of this was that they bad voted for a Conservative candidate at the late election. Each party was now registering their friends as fast as possible preparing for another struggle, which there certainly would he soon, and this course was taken for the pur pose of intimidation and in order to point out those 101. freeholders who had voted against the Repeal party. He considered the act as a most diabolical one, and tended to put the life and property of the five individuals in great jeopardy. The Marquis of NORMANBY considered the valuators had certainly been guilty of some negligence, but that was not to be charged upon either the Board of Guardians or the Poor-law Commissioners. The later were still engaged in inquiring into the circum• stances. The House then Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 19. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Five Minutes to Four o'Clock. Colonel CLEMENTS was again introduced by Sir R. Inglis and Mr. Young, and took the oaths and his seat for Cavan. PRIVATE BILLS. On the motion of Mr. LOWTHER the York and North Midland Railway Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Mr. PEASE, the Britannia Life Assurance Company's Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Mr. T. PARKER, the Preston and Longridge Railway Bill was read a'second time. On'the motion of Mr. REDDINGTON, the Birken head Church Bill was read a first time. Mr. W. PATTEN moved the second reading of the Winwick Rectory Bi►l. Mr. HIND LEY said he should be sorry to oppose the Bill, and had no intention of doing so, but he hoped the Committee would be instructed to frame the clause relating to Church -rates, in such a way as should be least objectionable to the parishioners. • After a few wordi from Sir R. H. INGLIS, Mr. WILSON PATTEN said he would undertake to direct the attention of the Committee to that point. The Bill was then read a second time. On the motion of Alderman THOMPSON, the Durham and Sunderland Railway Company's Bill was read a first time. On the motion of Mr. G. KNIGHT, the Notting ham Gas Bill was read a second time.

Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from St. Luke's, Middlesex, against the Bill for the Amend ment of the Poor-law Aet. The lion. Member pre sented a petition on the same subject from cer tain rate-payers of the parish of Shadwell, in Mid dlesex. The petitioners complained of the man ner in which paupers were removed in the work houses in their union. They stated that the system had been changed in that respect, and that the change had increased the rates by 50 per cent. The Hcn. Member was proceeding to enter into other de tails when The SPEAKER asked whether he was then read ing the petition - Mr. WAKLEY said he was really at a loss what to do. He was only stating the substance of the petition ; and it would be well the people should know that it was of no use for them to send petitions to that House.— (Cries of " Order, order.") The SPEAKER again called the Hon. Member to order. The Hon. Member must surely see that the observations he was making had no connection with the petition. If the Hon. Member wished to have the pe tition read, it would be the duty of the Clerk to read it from the table. Mr. WAKLEY said that he was not reading the petition, he was only submitting the substance of it to the House. The petitioners prayed that the House would not pass into a law the Bill then before them, as they con sidered it would prove in the highest degree detrimental to the interests of the rate-payers and the poor. They also prayed the House to introduce a clause into the Bill, which would have the effect of protecting those parishes which were under local acts from the operation of the new Bill. The Hon. Member presented a petition with a similar prayer, from St. Leonard's, Shoreditch ; alio a petition from the industrious classes of West borough-common, near Barnsbury, against the Bill, which the petitioners regarded as a robbery of the poor, for the benefit of the rich, an opinion in which he (Mr. Wakley) entirely concurred. The petitioners prayed that the House do abstain from all legislation on the subject until the people were fairly represented in Parliament. Major MACNAMARA presented a petition from a parish in the county of Clare, praying for an extension of the elective franchise, and against Lord Stanley's Bill.

The peti tioners stated that if the death of Mr. O'Connor were to ensue from the severity with which he was treated, it would justly be held as a judi cial murder. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the Chartist Association of Bloomsbury, praying for the liberation of Frost, Williams, and Jones ; and a petition from an individual residing in Hatton garden to the same effect. Sir GEO.. STAUNTON presented a petition - from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh against the Bill on the subject of Medical Reform, which stood for a second reading that evening.

Mr. LITTON presented a petition from certain in habitants of Wicklow, proving that the 13.11 for the Re gistration of Voters may be rejected, and that that brought in by Lord Stanley may be passed ; also peti tions from the King's County, one from the county of Meath, from the county of Louth, from the county of Cork, and from the county of Waterford, to the same effect.

O'BRIEN presented a petition from the Medical Practitioners of Limerick praying for the re peal of so much of the Vaccination Act as gave addi tional powers to the Poor-law Commissioners. Sir R. H. INGLIS, sceing the Hon. Member for Lambeth in his place, l begged to ask him to what day he proposed to postpone the second reading of a Bill for reforming the Medical profession, which was indorsed with his name. As it stood he could assure him it was impossiLle that it could be read a second time that night. Mr. HAWES said he had stated to the parties con cerned in the Bill that it was his intention to. postpone the second reading of the Bill. He would take that opportunity of stating that he had made up his mind to strike out all those clauses of the Bill which related to chemists and druggists. Mr. WAKLEY—If the Hon. Member had already brought his mind to strike out those clauses, he would earnestly entreat him to give up the other portion also laugh)—for he could assure him that it would not in such a sh spe give satisfaction to any portion of the medical profession. The SPEAKER said the clauses relating to the chemists and druggists related to trade, and, therefore, the Bill ought to have originated in Committee.—( A augh.) It would be more in order if the Hon. Mem ber were to withdraw the Bill, and reintroduce it in a new shape. Mr. HAWES would be most happy to follow the course pointed out by the Speaker. Mr. HUME, seeing the Under-Secretary for the Colonies in his place, wished to put a question to him. He held in his hand a letter from Quebec, in which it was stated that Lieutenant-Colonel Lester had died there as it were in the service, and the officers of the Guards were anxious to raise a tablet to his memory, but were refused permiision to do so by the BiShop, on the ground that the Gallant Colonel had not been a regular communicant there. If this was so, he thought it was persecution.—(Cries of " Order.") Mr. V. SMITH had not been made aware that the question was to be put, or he would have made in quiries on the subject. All he could say was that he believed there was no official information on the - subject. • Mr. GISBORNE gave notice of his intention to move sevaral clauses in the Registration of Voters (England) Mr. U RIM SDITCH gave not:ce that in Committee on the Poor law Continuance Bill he would move the omission of clause 8, and substitute the words re stricting the size of unions. Mr. EW ART gave notice that on Thursday, 4th of March, he would move for a Committee to inquire into the necessity of a public prosecutor in all criminal cases. Mr. V. SMITH moved for a return of the corres pondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Commissioners for emigration.— Ordered. Mr. MILES moved for Returns of the Accounts of Treasurers of Counties.—Agreed to. • Mr. HUTTON moved for certain Returns from the Commissioners of Wide Streets, Dublin.—Ordered. Mr. HUME moved for a continuation of Returns re lative to the half•pay" received last year by officers, both civil and military.—Ordered. Mr. F. MAULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend certain local turnpike Acts.—Granted. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL it was ordered that the House at its rising do adjourn till Monday. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (ENGLAND.) The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Registration of Voters (England) Bill having been read, Sir E. SUGDEN said, before he called the atten tion of the House to the various provisions of that im portant Bill, he would observe that the other side of the House was not more anxious than those on his side to agree to any provisions which would be necessary to correct fictitious voting, and facilitate the registration of bonafidc electors. There were many things requiring correction in the present system, namely, the publication of the lists, and the nature of the objections made to voters. As regarded the first there was great difficulty as the law stood, because if the overseer, or ether dicer whose duty it was to attend to the due publication of the lists, neglected his duty, or improperly exercised it, a constituency might be deprived of their franchise through his misconduct, and the :anie would take place if there was any error or mistake on the part of the Revising Barrister.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It appeared to him that with regard to the other point there was some difficulty to be encountered, but it might be met by not allowing a party to object to an othe.rwile good vote, merely because the claimant could not attend ; and also by compelling him to give security for the costs, in the event of his not being able to support his objections. He thought he might venture to say, that on that side of the House not the slightest impediment would be thrown in the way of any of the clauses which had for their Gbj cc t the formation of a bona fide registration within the intention of the Reform Act. In esta blishing a Court of Repeal, they were . establishing a tribunal to correct those errors which it was stated could not be corrected under the present system. The leading provisions of the Bill were, Ist, to form a new Court of Registration ; 2d, to establish a Court of Re peal, which of the two had not been established at all, as regarded • registrations ; 3d, to alter the franchise, both by diminishing the length of time during which rates and taxes were to be paid, and by taking away one great class of burdens, which at present by law it was necessary for a man to pay to entitle him to vote ; and, lastly, there was a provision, and a most important provision : it was to draw, hereafter, a dis tinction between voters—to have one class of voters who might be objected to, and to have another who might be called established vo ters, and to whom, after certain ceremonies, no objection could be made. Now before they spoke of the advantage resulting from the formation of new Judges they must consider the nature of the pre sent Courts, and the objections which had been made to them. One great object of the Reform Bill was to establish at an easy cost C3urts which should travel round the country, and simul taneously, and at a convenient time of the year, register all the voters of England. The great advantage of the present system was, that they had the Courts sitteng at a certain fixed period, an& at a time of the year when other business of an agricul tural or commercial nature did act intervene. The Judges now nominated the Barristers, and sent them at the same time on the different circuits in England. The great advantage of that system was, that all the claims were considered at the same period, and that that period was the most favourable which could be chosen. The barristers chosen were not certainly men of great ex perience in their - profession ; and perhaps it would be impossible to obtain men of greater experience, as the remuneration offered to those gentlemen was very limited ; and they could not obtain men of long standing at the Bar to fulfil such duties, unless, indeed, they made choice of parties who had failed in their profession. believed, there fore, it would be difficult to improve the system in that respect. Tnere was another great benefit in the present plan, which they could not enjoy if they established permanent Judges of Registration. The duties of the Revising Barristers occupied but ,a small. portion of their time, and these Banisters afterwards , returned to the ordinary labours of the profession; they! again retuned to Westminster Flail, where, to use a common expression, if they had not fairly discharged their duties at the Revising Courts they were sure to get " well rowed." There were great difficulties, no doubt, a-ising from the changes at present proposed,. as it was hard to draw up a law in that g we) . which would nut be found to break down on its ap l plication to certain individual elves. There was no complaint against the Revising,Barristars, except that some of them were too young ; th at was a matter which could be easily remedied. N ow it they appointed new J u d ges and sent them roun d England to revise the claims pre ferred before them, be did not suppose that the se new Judges could settle all the di ffi culties, because the Noble Lord proposed an Appeal Court from the new tribunal. What was wanted with an Appeal Court, if the new Judges were to be so perfect ? The Noble Lord should take care to propose such Judges as would not require an appellant court. The Noble Lord pro posed that fifteen Judgee be appointed, who were to perambulate England, and register all the electors of England. Now these fifteen Judges, taking the number of days occupied by the Revising Banisters, would be employed about 213 days each year in revising cla:ms. The Right Lion. and Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to show that the Judges proposed to be ap pointed by the Noble L or d, b e i ng t h us occu pied almost the entire year, would be wholly withdrawn from West minster Hall, and could attend to no other concern but that of revising claims, and would be therefore in qua lity of discharging their duties, infinitely below the pre sent Revisin g B arr i s t ers , who, frequenting .Westminster Hall, and th us h av i ng o pp o rtunities of rising . their profession, had e v ery inducement to act with integrity, and with a v i ew t o r aising their professional character. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman also con tended that if the objection urg e d against the to the Judges of the land ce rtain jurisdictionin those cases—namely, that they would b ecome political Judges—held good , sunder objections must exist against the Judges proposed, who would be solely en gaged in those cases. If the Judges of the land, who would decide only some 20 cases in a year —to whom those cases would be merely incide n t a l i n th e di se h arge o f various other duties —were likely to be contamina ted, he did not understand how it was more safe to ~~~ THE MODEL OF THE ARCHIMEDES 1 STEAM VESSEL at Work on the Water, with Three other beautiful Models, showing the Propelling Power of the Screw.
