VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) POLICE . INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.). MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA V. KOSSUTH AND DAY-THE HUNGARIAN NOTES. Vice-Chancellor Stuart this morning delivered judgment in this case. It will be recollected that the interim injunc tion was applied for and granted upon the affidavit of the Austrian ambassador, who prayed the Court to restrain defendants, William Day, John Day, and Joseph Day, their servants, workmen, and agents, from printing, lithograph ing, or manufacturing any documents purporting to be notes of the Hungarian State or nation, or notes with the Royal arms of Hungary printed thereon, and fi om delivering to the defendant, Louis Kossuth, or to any person, the plates prepared by them, or the documents printed or lithographed therefrom, or any documents in their possession purporting to be notes with the Royal arms of Hungary printed thereon. The affidavit further stated that the Emperor of Austria had, as King of Hungary, the sole exclusive pri vilege of issuing and of authorising the issue in Hungary of notes for payment of money intended to be circulated in that country as money, and also the sole and exclusive pri , vilege of authorising to be affixed to any document intended to be circulated in Hungary the Royal arms of that country that a very large portion, and nearly the whole of the pre- sent circulation of Hungary consisted of notes of the Na• tional Bank of Austria, which were issued under the authority of the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, and those notes, under the authority of his Majesty, circu lated in Hungary as money, and were for sums of one florin and upwards each ; that the defendants, Wm. Day, John Day, and Joseph Day, carry on business in London as lithographers in partnership under the firm of Messrs. Day and Sons ; that Messrs. Day and Sons had prepared plates for printing or lithographing documents which pur ported to be notes of the Hungarian nation or State, and were designed to be circulated as money in that country, and the deponent has been informed and believed that they had done this under the direction of Louis Kossuth, one of the defendants, and that Messrs. Day and Sons were, by Louis Kossuth's directions, engaged in printing or litho graphing, from the plates prepared by them, documents which purportel to be such spurious notes as aforesaid; that the deponent, on the 26th of February, obtained one of such spurious notes ; that the body of that annum... 4 ...ae in the Hungarian language; that the Royal arms of that country were at the bottom of it, and that the note, when translated into English was, as follows :—" One florin.— This monetary note will be received in every Hungarian State and public pay-office as one florin in silver, three swauzigers being one florin, find its whole nominal value is guaranteed to the State in the name of the nation, —Kossuth Louis." That the greater number of the spuri ous notes which Messrs. Day and Sons were manufacturing were for one florin each, and that the remainder were for other sums, some larger and some smaller than one florin; and that all the spurious notes were numbered, and the deponent had been informed, and believed, that the total nominal amount of the spurious notes which Messrs. Day and Sons were manufacturing would be very large, and exceed 100,000,000 florins, and that Messrs. Day and Sons had nearly completed the manufacture of such spurious notes, and that they intended shortly to deliver the same to Louis Kossuth, and that he (the deponent) had no doubt, from information he had received, that Louis Kossuth in tended, as soon as he had received the spurious notes, to send the fame, without any authority from the Emperor of Austria, to agents employed by him in Hungary, and that he intended by means o. his agents to sell some of the spurious notes in Hungary to persons resident there for whatever sums he could get for the same, and by this and other means to introduce the same into circulation in Hungary, and the deponent said he had no doubt that Louis Kossuth intended to use the same, among other purposes, to promote revolution and disorder in Hun gary ; that the Emperor of Austria had never authorised the manufacture of the notes which Messrs. Day and Sons were manufacturing, or the use thereon of the Royal arms of Hungary, and that the last-named defendants intended to deliver the spurious notes when completed to Louis Kossuth ; that the dependent first received information that Messrs. Day and Sons were engaged in manufacturing the said spurious notes on the Zd of the month of February ; that on receiving such information the deponent applied to her Majesty's Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and requested her Majesty's Government to interfere and prevent the manufacture thereof, and on the 23d of that month he re ceived a reply from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the effect that her Majesty's Government were unr ble to interfere, and the deponent thereupon at once communicated with the Government of Austria at Vienna, and on the 26th of February, and not before, received in structions to use the name of the Emperor of Austria in such proceedings as the deponent might think necessary to institute with reference to the above spurious notes. This affidavit was answered by another for the defendant, Louis Kossuth (which has already appeared in The Sun), denying the right or authority of the Emperor of Austria to interfere in the matter, as the powers delegated to Louis Kossuth as Dictator of Hungary had never been legally withdrawn, and therefore he had a perfect right to order the execution of the work. ROBBERY AT THE MUSEUM OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY BY A STUDENT.—Alexander MTarlane, a student at the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn• street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a purse at the above Museum, the property of George Hallett, the door-keeper. Mr. G. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Hallett said the prisoner was a student at the Museum, and for some time past a large number of articles had been missed from the student's coats while hanging in the cloak-room, consisting of purses, card cases, &c. With the view of finding the person who took them, he on the pre vious day put 4d. in half-pence in a purse, and then put it in his - .coat-pocket, hanging the coat up in the cloak-room. About two hours after he missed the purse and eoppers from his coat, one of the coppers having been marked by Mr. Reeks, the secretary. He then followed the prisoner, and overtaking him in Piccadilly, told him that Mr. Reeks wished to speak to him, and on his going back he asked him if he had any objection to be searched, as property had been missed from the place. The prisoner then felt in his pockets and took out the purse. He (Mr. Hallett) at once said it was his purse, and sent for a constable, and he was given in charge. The money was then out of the purse, but on his being searched at Vine-street, the coppers were found in his pocket, including the marked penny. Pri soner made no answer when he told him the charge. Richard Cooper, C division, said prisoner had no reply to the charge. At the station he found a sovereign, ISs. 7d., and the marked penny on him. Sergeant Silverton, the acting inspector, said he found at the prisoner's lodgings, 38, Park-street, Islington, a quan tity of property, consisting of cigar cases, &c. ; and as the owners of a meershaum pipe and purse were present, and the other property would be owned, he wished for a re mand. Mr. Lewis said he should reserve any remarks he migh, have to make till the prisoner was again brought up. The prisoner was 'then remanded. A number of gentlemen were present from the museum Hi. Tln • mir qnid r 1,.;.-4,:at a x..i iu ills sovereign ca pacity as King of Hungary, and asks the assistance of this court to prevent an injury of a public kind, to which, he as serts, he has a legal right. This right he claims, and alleges he is possessor of as the Sovereign power of a foreign State at peace with this kingdom. It appears that the defendants have manufactured and prepared in this country a vast quantity of printed paper purporting to represent the paper money and currency of a lawful foreign Sovereign Power, which is intended to be circulated at some future time in Flungary. This is admitted to be done without the licence of the plaintiff, and it is asserted hostile to the power and contrary to the rights of the plaintiff, is an act that ought to be suppressed by this Court. The Court is now called upon to decide whether the defendant can, by the law of England, be allowed to possess for this particular purpose this large quantity of manufactured paper prepared by them for such a purpose, or whether, on the other hand, the plaintiff is entitled to the right that he claims to possession of it, and thus prevent the unjust use of it by the defendants. The nature of this claim was never ventured to be disputed. It never was main tained that he had not an existing right. And the defendants have not shown that this Court is not the public administrator and protector of the public affairs and matters of a public nature of a foreign nation. The defendants concur in admitting that the plaintiff is a foreign sovereign, and they must admit that these notes of manu factured paper are public property and within the jurisdic tion of this court, but they insist that with all this right the plaintiff has no right to this paper ; that the right to issue paper is a mere public political right, not an absolute right in the sovereign, but subject to confirmation and direction of the diets of that kingdom ; and such a right they say is beyond the jurisdiction of this court. If the question related to a mere matter of state as they put it it would not, but it has no reference to political discussion but the regulation of the Sovereign work of the State, a great prerogative right of the Sovereign power. It is not a mere municipal right, a question of municipal law, but a right publicly protected by the law of nations. The right is public and the law protects his legal right, and when the legal right is abused the law will prevent it —it cannot be allowed by the law of England. This proposition is supported by unquestionable authority. His honour then referred to several authorities and decisions on the.subject—particularly the Act of George IV. protecting the rights of Sovereigns, the prosecution for a t l f i o b r e a l o l b e t he p l o n r e th o e r t o Fi f ther First Co n r trial o f Consul i then France,Q ueen h , and t e tprosecutionhe case of the late Lord George Gordon, in support of his opinion ; and in conclusion his honour declared the injunction per petual (absolute), and ordered the printed notes to be delivered up to the plaintiff within a month. This decision was appealed against. NOTICE OF APPF AL. (Before tht Lord Chancellor.) Mr. Bacon applied to the Lord Chancellor to put the appeal cause of the Emperor of Austria against Day and Kossuth in the appeal paper for hearingas soon as possible, on occount of its public importance, and its great import ance to both parties. Sir Hugh Cairns did not oppose the application, but wished it to stand over till next term. The Lord Chancellor said it must stand over till the be ginning of next term. On account of its great importance I.e wished it to be heard by the full Court of Appeal, He would speak to the Lords Justices to see when it would be most convenient for them to attend, and then it would be set down for hearing.

VICTinNr T .--SvIAIL flares, an active thief, aged 29, who is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a valuable telescope, the property of Mr. Edwin Hawthorn, optician, of No. 15, Queen-street, Ratcliff. Yesterday afternojn the prisoner and another man entered Mr. Hawthorn's shop and asked for a pennyworth of screws. Mr. Hawthorn supplied them with what they wanted, but their movements, their hurried glances at the valuables in the shop, and other circumstances, excited his suspicions, and he watched them closely. The prisoner and his com panion left without stealing anything. They returned again a few minutes afterwards, asked for two pennyworth of screws, and after they were served with them left the shop hurriedly. Directly they were gone Mr. Hawthorn missed a new telescope which was lying on the floor near the counter wiun the two fellows entered the shop. The prosecutor and a young man named William Wilson, immediately went in pursuit of the thieves and soon over took them. A cry of " stop thief " was raised, an exciting chase took place, and during the run the prisoner threw the telescope on to the roof of a stable in Rose-lane, Rat cliff. The prisoner was soon afterwards captured and after considerable resistance lodged in the station-house. The telescope was recovered by Wilson, who climbed to the top of the stable and brought it down. It was considerably damaged. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Selfe--I believe you are a professed thief, and this robbery shows you to be a very daring one. You have come a long distance from John-street, City-road, to steal this telescope. You are sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for sin months, and kept to hard labour. SHOCKING PROPENSITY FOR STRONG DRlNK.—lsabella Johnson, a most wretched and dissipated-looking woman, labouring under delirium tremens, and stated to be 56 years of age, but appeared to be 70, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a bundle of linen from the dwelling of a poor woman named Ruth Wicks, a laundress, of the Lansdowne-cottages, Tenter-ground, Whitechapel. Frederick Martin, a police-constable, 135 H, stated that he saw the prisoner enter a ginshop at an early hour this morning with a bundle of linen under her arm. She asked the barman to let her hava some gin, and she would leave some of the articles in pawn as a security for the payment at some future time. Her request was peremptorily refused. He asked her where she obtained the linen, to which she made no answer, and he took her into custody. The pri soner was an incorrigible drunkard, and had brought herself to her present miserable condition by her propen sity for strong drinks. He had seen her going from one public-house to another in and about Rosemary-lane at an early hour, and drinking gin at each until she got in sensibly drunk. Francis Kelly, 130 li, completed this picture of the pri soner by saying that she often stripped her children and sold their clothes to obtain gin,and that when her husband avales for ner she had sold t l iem and spent the proceeds at houses of public entertainment. He bad seen her intoxicated and huddled up on door. steps. She was a curse to her family and to her neighbours. Ruth Wicks said the linen produced was stolen from a clothes basket on her dresser, where she left it last night. Other things were taken at the same time. When she came down stairs this morning her door and window were open, The prisoner was a neighbour and knew her way into the house. The prisoner, in defence, said she was tipsy when she committed the robbery. She had sent her own things to Mrs. Wicks to be washed, and intended to take them away and no others. Mr. Selfe—Do you plead guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner—l am guilty, sir. _ Mr. Selfe—See what drunkenness has brought you to. What a wretched creature you are, and you have robbed this poor woman, your neighbour. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

Mires was arrested and . shut UP in the prison - of Mazas, on the charge of abuse of confidence. The penalty imposed on conviction for this offence varies from two months' to two years' imprisonment, and a fine which cannot exceed one fourth of the restitution and of the damages for the benefit of the parties who have suffered by the abuse of confidence. M. Mires has not yet been 'must be regarded as inn ocen t untilbrought the t c o n t trial, and n y b e proved ; yet he is punished as if his guilt had al ready been decla r ed by th e tribunal and sentence passed. This is what is called " preventive detention," and it would appear there is no fixed term. M. Mires may be kept in prison for years, and, for aught anybody knows, may be at the end pronounced innocent of the charges against him, and liberated, but not before his health and energies have been wasted, and he himself re d uced to beggary. The charge against M. Mires has re ference to the society known as the Caisse d es Chemins de Fer, of which he was the head; and the appointment of a person to administer the affairs of that establishment during M. Mires legal incapacity was perfectly justifiable. But there is another en terprise in which M. Mires has been also concerned —the united journals the Constitutionnel and the rays. In 1855 he purchased from M. Veron, of the first-named journal, his property in it for the sum of £44,000, and became its gerant, or manager. This, being an entirely distinct affair from the Caisse des Chemins de Fer, appears to have been conducted to the satisfaction of the shareholders, inasmuch as they have received from 10 to 11 per cent., and in the present year 9 per cent., dividend on their shares. At all events, no complaint was made against his management. It seems, however, to have been determined to deprive M. Mires, who by the statutes of the company had a right to ap point his successor in case of absence or incapacity, of all control over his property. After repeated efforts two persons presented themselves, one a shareholder only . since the day previous, the other from the beginning, " but who," as M. Mathiee, counsel for M. Mires, declared in hts motion in court on Saturday last, " are simply the instru ments of an intrigue, the object of which is to de prive M. Mires of the right- which the statutes of the company confer on him as manager to ap point his successor." The appeal on behalf of M. Mires against an act which is equivalent to spolia tion was unsuccessful. The most odious feature in the case, however, is the manner in which M. Mires has been treated since his arrest. " I come," said his counsel, in his address to the Cour Imperiale, to claim for M. Mires the benefit of the rights which are common to all, and to ask of the Court whether a fellow-citizen, accused but not convicted of a misdemeanour, or even of a crime, is to be visited with a sort of civil death, and in some measure to be placed beyond the pro tection of the law." It seems that his legal advisers have, with much difficulty, obtained access to him. M. Mathieu declares that he could only see him on the 18th of April. It is true, the Advocate-General stated that this absolutely close confinement only lasted eight days; and why it should have lasted even eight days is not explained. But the Advocate-General is mistaken ; I hear, on the best authority, that M. Mires has, on three separate occasions since his incarceration, been kept in the closest confinement. On the second occasion the seclusion was so severe that the most insignifi cant letters from his family had to undergo the in spection of the gaol authorities before delivery, and even the news of the aceouchenzent of his daughter, the Princess de Polignac, was communicated to him by one of the goalers, whose compassion inspired him with courage. I am assured that even now M. Mires is subjected to strict privacy, for only two members of his family have received permission to see him three times a week, and in presence of one of the warders of the prison, and a person holding his powers of attorney has been refused permission to see him. M. Mires has applied in vain to be al lowed to see his co-director of the Caisse Generale des Chemins de Fer; and even his brother and his sisters have been allowed to see him only once. Such treatment of a man who is no convicted of what has been laid to his charge, fho has net even been tried, and who, whatever be the result of the prosecution, must still be regarded in the eye of the law as guiltless, is revolting to every feeling of justice and humanity. It evinces the utmost disregard of personal liberty. Perhaps the most disgraceful fact is that the press has never once raised its voice against this oppression from the day of M. Mires' imprisonment to the present mo ment, and it is equally silent on the " domicilliary visits" of the police to the house of his son-in-law, the breaking open of private letters, &c. The Em peror. who in all these things, has on more than one occasion de plored this inflifference in France to the violation of personal liberty. "In France," his Majesty ob serves,— " The tranquillity of the citizen shall be disturbed, his house shall be violated, he shall bo forced to endure for months a preventive imprisonment, all his personal gua rantees shall be disregarded, and though a few generous persons may raise their voices, yet public opinion will re main calm and untouched, unless when political passions are to be roused." This is exactly the case of M. Mires. If there be evidence of his guilt lot him be brought to trial ; but it is most cruel to visit him beforehand with a punishment quite as severe, if not severer than a court of justice would inflict upon him were the charge on which he was imprisoned proved against him. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of Dowager Lady Clifton, of Bruton street, Bond-street, and of Clifton Hall, Notts, who died on the 29th of December last, bears date the 16th of December, 1859, wherein she appointed as her executors the Rev. Charles T. Corydon Lux more, of Guilsfield, in the county of Montgomery, and the Rev. Morgan Davies, M.A., Hon. Canon of St. Asaph, and Rector of Llanrwst, who proved the same in the London Court on the 22d ult. The personalty was sworn under £25,000. Lady Clifton is of ancient and distinguished rank, and the family are well known as having resided at Clifton during the reign of Edward I. and up to the present time. Her will contains many specific directions, and is expressed with much carefulness and minuteness. Her ladyship gives in trust her personal property for her son and daughter, and to their descendants respectively, subject to the payment of certain legacies to the executors nominated, some personal friends, relatives, and to her servants. Her lady ship's son, the present baronet, takes the family estates, to whom also is bequeathed some family portraits and other effects which are to be retained as heirlooms. Her ladyship's daughter, Lady Bruce, wife of Sir Henry H. Bruce, Bart., is left a moiety of the personal property, together with her mother's gold and silver plate with the arms of Treleydon, also a presentation piece of plate made to her ladyship (the testatrix) from the parishioners of Clifton, and a picture of our Saviour brought from Sebastopol by Colonel Edmund Peel. The will of Col. Sir Wm. Henry Clerke, Bart . ' formerly of Mertyn, Flintshire, but late of Heath House, near Ludlow, Shropshire, was proved in London, on the 22d ult., by the Venerable Charles Carr Clerke, D.D., Archdeacon of Oxford, the brother and sole surviving executor. Col. Sir W. Clerke was of a family of very ancient descent, which figured prominently in history at the remote period of 1514, and became elevated to a baronetcy at the Restoration in 1660. The colonel entered the army at the early age of 18, and served during the Penin sular war, and subsequently at Waterloo. He was an officer in that gallant and distinguished regi ment, the 52d Light Infantry. On the cessation of the war in 1815 this gallant officer appears to have passed the residue of his days in the occupation of some distinguished posts,havin g been appointed High Sheriff for Flintshire, Deputy Lieut., and magistrate of that county. The will, which bears date so long back as 1842, is strictly of a family nature. To his wife the colonel bequeaths a life interest in his personal estate, giving to her absolutely the jewel lery and personal ornaments. The eldest son, now Sir Wm. Henry Clerke, Bart., and heir-at-law, takes the family estate. and, on the decease of tes tator's wife, the personal property he'saves amongst his children, appointing them residuary legatees. Colonel Sir William Clerke died on the 16th of February last, at the age of 67.

The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition in favour of the Bankruptcy Bill. The prayer of the petition was, that their lordships would be pl eased to pass the bill with out referring it to a select committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that while he entirely concurred in the prater of the petition just presented, he did not think it was in accordance with the rules of their lordships' house that any petition could be received, as it was irregular to specify the particular way in which the petitioners wished bills to be passed. LordCHELMSFORD thewoolsack.oragreedwiththeobservations of the noble The Duke of RUTLAND said if he had infringed the rules of the house he very much regretted it. He would immediately withdraw the petition. The Duke of RICHMOND said he had also vresentaa ~p etition with a sitrna... proycv, tint - Inter wflat had passed ue wished to withdraw it. Lord OVERSTONE presented a number of petitions in favour of the bill, amongst which was one from the bankers, merchants, and others in the City of London, and another from Manchester, which differed from the others, inasmuch as it prayed that the" official assignee might be retained. There was a very strong feeling throughout the. country in opposition to the existing law. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce in favour of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD prosented petitions from a num ber of mercantile and commercial bodies praying for certain modifications in the bill. MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN-MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. Earl GRANVILLE brought up a message from the Crown. The LORD CHANCELLOR read the Royal Message to their lordships. Her Majesty communicated to them her intention to sanction a marriage between her Royal Highness the Princess Alice and the Prince Louis of Hesse. The numerous proofs that her Majesty had received of the loyalty of that house to her person and family left her no room to doubt the willingness of their lordships to make an adequate provision for her daughter, such as might be suitable to the dignity of the Crown. Earl GRANVILLE said this was not the time to go into debate on the subject of her Majesty's message. It was, however, his duty to ask that an address should be presented to her Majesty on the happy event. They would have great pleasure in doing so at the present mo ment, as her Majesty had so lately suffered a domestic af— fliction. The Earl of DERBY was convinced, from the deep inte rest which their lordships felt in everything that concerned the happiness-of her Majesty and the Royal family, that their lordships would agree to the address now proposed with the same unanimous assent, and a much greater degree of satit faction than they recently gave to an address of a much more melancholy character which was recently sent up from their lordships' house. The intended . marriage just announced might not be one of so brilliant a character as that contracted by the eldest sister of the Royal Princess, but it was founded on the best security for happiness —an in timate personal acquaintance between the parties and a mu tual affection and esteem. He sincerely trusted that this alliance would be productive, both to the illustrious Prin t cess and her consort, of the same happiness which had been for so many years enjoyed by her Majesty, and which ho believed was also enjoyed by her eldest daughter. He was quite satisfied that their lordships would cheerfully concur in making such provision for the Princess and her consort as the other house might think fit ; and he had no doubt that the other house would act with due and proper liberality on the occasion. He had only to express a hope that the provision made by the other house would not in the slightest decree disarrance the Tliinent of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer or add to the financial difficulties of the country. (A. laugh.) ,Their lordships would, a was certain, cor dially concur in any proposal that might come from the House of Commons, and he begged heartily to second the motion. The motion for the address was agreed to. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the house go into committee on this bill. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I was in hopes after the intimation I had received— The LORD CHANCELLOR—I quite understood that the bill was to be referred to a select committee, and I made the motion merely as a matter of form, in order to enable the noble earl to move the amendment of which he had given notice. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I was in hopes that after some intimations that we had received, the noble and learned lord would himself have moved to send this bill to a select committee ; and that your' lordships would thus have been spared the necessity of hearing a single word from me in support of my amendment. As it is, the an nouncement which the noble lord has made will render it quite needless for me to trespass on your patience for more than a single moment. In the first place, I have to express my entire satisfaction that the noble and learned lord has taken notice of the language of some petitions which have been presented to your lordships' house. A petition has been presented by a noble baron opposite, and several others couched in almost similar terms have come from persons of the greatest eminence with regard to the bankruptcy law, and are, therefore, entitled to some consideration. I have no doubt that the general expression of opinion by numerous bodies would materially facilitate the passing of a bill which in its main features is generally approved of by the mercan- attention e en m ti o o s u t ._ .._. _ for wh callingiwhich w we are i t n il d e e p b u te b d li e t a a t t h l e a r n g a e b . le B an u d t t l a h a e rni—Td poi ;i l i a r t d o is that which refers to the propriety of these petitioners suggesting that the bill should not be referred to a select committee. Now, my lords, I venture to think that, how ever admirable judges the mercantle firms who have peti tioned the house may be with regard to the alteration that ought to be made in the law of bankruptcy, your lordships do not require any suggestion from any mercanlile body with regard to the course which your deliberations should take. The petition presented by my noble friend opposite was sent to me this morning, accompanied by a letter, in which I am informed by the secretary of the Mercantile Law Amendment Society that they regret to learn that her Ma jesty's Government, unable to resist my powerful influence —(laughter)—had consented to refer the bill to a select committee. My lords, I must in the first place disclaim for myself the honour of being supposed to possess a personal influence capable of overbearing the determination of her majesty's Government ; and I hope I may also, on the part of her Majesty's Government, repudiate an insinuation so injurious and offensive to them as that they, from a fear of political defeat on a question which really after all involves no eonsiderationA of party, should have given way, and taken a course which is opposed to their own views and judgment. Far be it from me to suppose the possib b il e i rs ty o n f i the Government ; for we all know that on there being differences of opinion between the naessin on alt _ h . ; wa tili t E, narmon3-. Law reluctantly a t m o s g u x e i v e way to my influence I am sure other questions, they are united in the seifercantile (Loud laughter.)

This shows great to pass th e ignorance of the proceedings o 1 select committees, and holds out very me lancholy prospects to such of your lordships as may be p l a ced upon the committee now proposed to be appointed (A laugh.) On the other hand, they express an apprehen yarfoutircilrmltisriPs in sion that if referred to a select committee the bill will re , . ceive such important alterations that it will not be adopted by her Majesty's Government or be acceptable to the pro fession at large. My lords, it is not very complimentary to the distinguished lawyer who is the author of the bill to suppose that the examination of the bill by 19 or 20 of your lordships who are most competent to consider its details would at once lead to a total and entire change in its pro visions. My sole object in moving for a select committee is because I feel that a bill of such extent and oomplexity will be far more satisfactorily, effectually, and speedily dealt with by a committ'.. , e composed of 18 or 20 members of your lordships' house, who would give their undivided attention to it, than by a committee of the whale house. The noble and learned lord said the other evening that he should not object to the reference to a select committee, if it was only a mere question of detail; but that he should object to it if the committee proposed to touch the great principles of the bill. It is difficult to state exactly what is a principle an what i s a d e t a il ; b u t th ere aro un d ou bt e dly four or deli leading point s w hich will r equire grave and impartial _ a D. beration.
