By command of their Lordships, GEORGE ELLIOT. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNI! 28. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Militia Ballot Bill, the Gravesend Pier Bill, Edinburgh linprovement Bill, Lewes Improvement Bill, and other private Bills. The Lord Pi ivy Seal, Earl Amherst, the Duke of Rich mond, the Marquis of Ailsa, the Marquis Cunningham, the Earl of Errol, and the Bishop of Chichester held a conic. rence with Lord Althorp and others, in the Painted Chamber, and notified to them that their Lordships had agreed to the West India resolutions. The Earl of RODEN presented petitions from Dublin, Armagh, Sligo, and other places for the abolition of sla very ; also a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and inhabitants of Dublin, in favour of the Dublin Ship Canal Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL, and other Members of the House of Commons, requested their Lordships to allow Lord Clon• cut ry to be examined before the Committee on the Dublin Ship Canal Bill. LAW COMMISSION (SCOTLAND)• The Earl of ABERDEEN said that the Noble end Learned Lord on the Woolsack had more than once stated in that House the intention to appoint a law com mission in Scotland similar to that in England. The Noble and Learned Lord had not explained the object fur which the commission was to go. From the Noble Lord's speech the other night, he collected, that the constitution of the practice of the Sheriffs' Court in Scotland would form one of the objects to which it was directed, but as there was some interest excited in Scotland on the subject, perhaps the Noble and Learned Lord would not object to state the objects that would form the deliberation of the Commission. He did not deny that a Commhsion of this nature would he productive of great advantages to Scotland, and would give great facili ties to the better administration of the law there ; but that would greatly depend on the manner in which the commission would be conducted, and how its objects would be received in the country, for unless their proceed ings met with the confidence of the inhabitants of that part of the country, their suggestion would be of very little avail. He was aware that greater difficulty existed in the fermation of this commission in Scotland than in this country, not from any want of talent, but from the circumstances connected with the prossion i❑ Scotland. The Noble Lord would therefore, perhaps, be so good as to state to the House the principal objects of the com mission. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could not have the least objection, as far as his recollection served him, and the tine of the House would permit, to state the ge neral objects of the Commission, in the observations with respect to the importance of which he fully agreed with the Noble Earl. He should have been better pleased if he could have laid before the House an exact copy of the commission itself, as it stated its objects. He had applied for it that morning, but had not as yet been able to obtain it ; however, as the Noble Earl wished a short summary, he was most happy in being able to give it. The first object would be to inquire into the best means for diminishing the expenses of law proceedings, more especially as it regarded the fees in the Superior Courts. The next would he to enter into certain arrangements suggested with respect to the subordinate officers of the superior courts ; the next to inquire into the means of simplifying and diminishing the expense attendant on con veyancing, which had a long time been subject of great complaint. Another object, and one to which the Noble Earl bad already alluded, was the jurisd:ction and practice of the Sheriffs' Court, with a view of ascertaining whether it would be fit to make any diminution, extension, or other alteration in that Court. For his own part, he was not prepared to say that the result of the inquiry would be to extend the powers of that Court, but probably the reverse. The extension and alteration by no means meant exten sion merely as the Noble Earl seemed to expect, for, as he said before, it was very possible that the very reverse might be recommended. There were one or two other points, but they were of minor impor tance, and would be fully laid before their Lordships as soon as the Commission was prepared. The Noble Earl had alluded to another point, the manner of selecting the gentlemen for Commissioners. In that they had, as nearly as possible—as nearly as circumstances would permit, followed the same plan as the English bar. Gentlemen had been selected who were well acquainted and were deeply engaged in those parts of their profession which it was proposed should be inquired into. In Scot land there was in one branch of the profession gentlemen who were well skilled in the law, and who acted as convey ancers, but who were not called to the bar.—(Hear, hear.) Two or three gentlemen hid been selected from that branch of the profession, as no class were better informed than they were. When the names of those who were appointed were laid before the House, he had no doubt but that even the Noble Earl would be satisfied. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he had seen the names of some gentlemen in the newspapers who were stated to have been appointed.—( Hear.) He begged to call the Nob'? and Learned Lord's attention to them. From the same source he was aware that there was a Bill now before the other House, which was con nected with one of the branches proposed to be inquired into, vit., the power of the Sheriffs' Court. He would suggest that it should not be proceeded with, but be re ferred to the Commissioners, to report upon. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was aware of the Bill alluded to by the Noble Earl, but he believed the ten dency of it was not such as he related it. However, it might yet be expedient to follow the course pointed out by the Noble Earl. The Limitation of Actions Bill was reported without amendments, and ordered to be read a third time on Mon day. The House then went into Committee upon the Local Courts Bill. On clause 33 being read, Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he thought a clause ought to be introduced in the Bill providing that no action ,Imuld he brought into the Local Courts for any debt contracted before the passing of the Bill. On its being moved that clause 36 should stand part of the Bill, Lord LYNDHURST objected to the number of Jury_ men being only six. The LORD CHANCELLOR knew nothing magical in the number twelve, and thought that it might cause in. convenience to require the attendance of so many persons. He was anxious to get rid of the machinery and expense of special juries. He was ready, nevertheless, to reconsider the subject of the number of a jury. Lord LYNDHURST thought that there was a disposi tion abroad to run down juries, and to speak of Govern ment juries. The LORD CHANCELLOR supposed, then, that Government juries were spoken of in the sense that Go vernment newspapers were sometimes mentioned—because they always attacked Ministers. When the Committee arrived at the clause for com pelling the attendance of witnesses, Lord WYNFO RD proposed that it should be amended, in order not to include agents or attorneys who could not disclose the books or business of their clients. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the clause gave no more power than was possessed by the lowest courts in die kingdom. It could not enable the Judge to obtain evidence which was not legal. On the 44th clause being proposed, Lord WYINIFOItD objected to the proviso contained in it. The object of the clause was, to compel a witness, under fear of imprisonment, to answer questions put to him by the Court. There was no proviso for a habeas corpus; and the party might lie in prison without hope of a reb-ase. _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the same power was given to Courts of Record, and even to Jus tices at Sessions; and he did not think that that which was intrusted to the►a should be refused to these local courts. _ _ Lord LYNDHURST said that the objection was not to the clause, but to the proviso• The proviso went to ex cept from the liability compulsorily to answer men who were called on so to do under circumstances that might subject them to punishment for criminal offences. As law now stood, the exemption was extended to all cases in which the answer might subject the party to degradation. The proviso was, therefore, an alteration of the law with regard to these particular Courts. Yet he presumed that that was not the object of it. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted the objection of the Noble and Learned Lord ; and said that he was in. r lined to leave out the words ; for the clause now men tinned only questions that might be lawfully put, or deeds that might be lawfully produced. The proviso was !eft out ; and the clause, as amended, stood part of the Bill. On the 45th clause, which related to the inspection of the documents of one party on the demand of the other, Lord LYNDHURST made some observations on the difficulties that stood in the way of making a perfect pro vision on this subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR acknowledged that it was most difficult to prevent expense on the one hand, or fraud on the other; and he was understood to say that he would try to amend the clause. The clause was then agreed to. The 46th clause was agreed to. On the question of the 47th clause, Lord LYNDHURST asked what provision was made for cases in which the verdict was against evidence, and was so in the opinion of the Judge who tried the cause? He knew that this was rarely the case, for, in his opinion, the verdicts were generally extraordinarily correct; but still the case did sometimes occur, and some provision t,ught to be made for it. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted the necessity of some such provision, and said that he would endeavour to prepare a clause on that subject. —Clause agreed to. On the 4S'h clause, relating to costs, Lord LYNDHURST said that it was impossible to calculate beforehand what costs should in all cases be paid. There might be instances in which it was fair and proper to go to a great expense for Counsel or for witnesses, and yet there was no means of regulating the payment, nor was any discretion exercised upon the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should have little difficulty in introducing words that would answer the object his Noble and Learned Friend had in view. Lord ELLENBOROUGH slid that he had heard that the difference of the cost• in different Courts took business from one and carried it to another. Now, if that should be the case with these Local Courts, the evil would be enormous. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the anticipated evil would not occur, for that a schedule regulating the costs in all would be attached to the Bill. The 49th clause was then agreed to. Clauses 50 to 5'7 inclusive were, after some slight verbal amendments agreed to. On the 68th clause, which provided that there should be no writs of error or of certiorari, Lord WYNFORD objected to that part of the chose which withheld the right of moving for writs of certio rari. If in extensive districts, juries sometimes, as in a recent well knon•n instance, found a verdict not only without evidence, but against evidence, how frequently must it occur in a small district th st it would be difficult to collect ajury impartial and capable of a just judgment. It might be said, that as the cases to be tried were only those in which small damages were laid, it was not a matter of great consequence; but there were cases— those of magistrates, for instance, in which, however small the damages, the character of the defendant suf fers(' materially from the verdict itself. He proposed, therefore, tha: a defendant, in cases of tort, should have the right of moving for a writ of certiorari, provided he gave security for the amount of damages laid in the declaration. While they were establishing new shops, they ought not entirely to abut up the old shops, if the parties preferred dealing in the latter to the former. He proposed also to give the same tight to persons who were sued for debt to a certain amount—they paying the full amount of that debt into the Court. It was his intention likewise to propose that the costs, as respected the various officers of the Court, should be the same in the superior Court as if the cause had been tried in the inferior Court ; giving, however, the Judge the power to certify. The LORD CHANCELLOR was prepared to meet his Noble and Learned Friend half way. He had no objection i❑ actions of tort, but not of debt, where the defendant gave such security for the full amount of damages and costs as should be satisfactory to the Judge of the superior Court, to allow the right of moving for a writ of certiorari. The amendments proposed by Lord Wynford were then negatived ; it being understood that the Lord Chancellor would himself introduce a clause to the effect which he had just stated. Certain verbal amendments, proposed by the Lord Chancellor, were then agreed to ; the House resumed, and the report was ordered to ty! received on Tuesday. Their Lordships then adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 28 The House resumed at a few minutes after five o'clock. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, a Message was ordered to he sent to the Lords, requesting permission for Lord Cloncurry to be examined before the Select Committee on the Dublin and Kinitstown Railway Bill.—Agreed to. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A message from the Lords summoned the House to at tend the Hons(• of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills. The Speaker, attended by several Mem bers, having proceeded to, and returned from, the House of Lords, the Right Hon. Gentleman read a list of the Bills which had received the Royal Assent (for which see the Lords' report). TITHES IN IRELAND. Mr. O'CONNF.E.L, in reference to the resolution of the House to provide for the payment of the tithes in Ireland, due to ecclesiastical incumbents during the years 1821, 1822, and 1823, said his Majesty's Government bad promised to take into consideration the propriety of ex tending the same mode of payment to lay impropriators. He asked whether Government had taken the subject into consideration, and what was the result. Lord ALTHORP stated that the object of that reso lution was to put a stop to the present mode of collecting tithes; and, after the best consideration that the a,vern ment could give to the subject, they had determined to in clude the lay impropriators.—(Hear.) Sir R. PEEL said the law was already suspended in Ireland, and the purport of the Noble Lord's answer was to continue that suspension. 11,1 r. H. GRATTAN denied that the law was suspended in Ireland. Mr. RONAYNE rose, but The SPEAKER reminded the House that a conference relative to negro slavery was appointed with the Lords, and that it would be better that that should take place before the House proceeded further. The same managers who had been appointed on a for. mer occasion to conduct the 'onference on the part of this House were appointed to confer with their Lordships, and they withdrew. Lord ALTHORP brought up the report of the con ference with the House of Lords, who had agreed to the resolutions of that House on the subject of colonial slavery. Ordered to be kid on the table. The Noble Lord then moved the order of the day, that the House do go into Committee on the Rank Charter. In reply to a question from an Hot. MEMBER, Lord A LTHORP was understood to say the Superanntia • tion and Pension Bill was prepared, but that it was not the intention of the Government to introduce it in the present session. Mr. H. GRA I'TAN referred to some statements that had been made in that House relative to the illegal enforce ment of tithes. He held in his hand twenty-four original affidavits, showing that not only had the tithes which were called for by the right of Government been levied, but also those for 1832 ; and in some cases where the rents for 1831 had not been en forced. The levying of the tithes fur 1832 was altoge ther illegal. He would not go through the whole of the affidavits—(Hear, hear)—but would place them in the hands of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland if that Hon. Gentleman would take measures to put a stop to these proceedings. Mr. LITTLETON replied; that steps for an inquiry into the circumstances had already been originated. If the Hon. Gentleman felt disposed to put the affidavits in his hands, he had no objection to take charge of them. Lord ASHLEY reminded the Noble Lord, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, that that evening had been ap pointed for the further consideration of the Factories Bill, and that it had been postponed to that even ing, instead of to the Monday preceding, at the par ticular request of the Noble Lord.—(Heir, bear.) Under these circumstances he had a cl•ar and decided right to claim precedence then ; hut he would wave that right if the Noble Lord would freely and candidly promise him that no other public business should intervene on Monday next. Lord ALTHORP, after a few observations, fixed for the following Friday. PENSIONS. In answer to a question from Mr. IV. HARVEY, Lord ALTHORP said, that the return respecting the date at which the present existing pensions and supet annua tions were granted was not yet prepared, but he did not think it would answer the expectations of the Hon. Member. CARRICKFERGUS ELECTION—SITTING OF ternber—(Langllter)—hut be was content to move the postponement of the measure till the 15th of July. Postponed accordingly. BANK CHARTER. After a few preliminary observations As to the order of the business, the House resolved itself into Committee. The CHAIRMAN then put the first resolution, and Colonel TORRENS, in rising to address the Committee, said he should not occupy their time by any preliminary observations, but proceed at once to state the object he had in view, and explain the grounds on which he ventured to hope he should persuade the Committee to adopt the resolution with which he should have the honour to conclude. His object was to obtain delay for the purpose of having sufficient time maturely and deliberately to con sider this most important question. And if he were asked for the grounds on which he requested that delay, he would answer they were contained in the report of the Committee appointed last year, to consider of the expe diency of renewing the Bank Charter. That report he had in his hand, and with the permission of the Committee he would read one short passage. The passage was this :—" That the period of the session at which they commeneed their labour, the importance and extent of the subject, and the approaching close of the session will sufficiently account for the limited progress of the inquiry, and the incompleteness of the materials which have been collected for the purpose of form ing an opinion." Now, it would be in the recollection of the House, that of that Committee the Noble Chancel lor of the Exchequer was Chairman —if not the parent, he was the sponsor, of the Committee—( Hear, hear, hear)—and the language of the report must be considered that of the Noble Lord. Now the Noble Lord had distinctly told them in the report that he was not able to furnish the House with the grounds on which they could famish an opinion ; how, then, could he come forward and ask the House to come to a decision on this most important question, without such grounds and materials as were requisite to the forming of a correct opinion ? Even in the case of the unimportant private Bill, which had been referred to a Committee up stairs, such a course could not for a moment be adopted. The Report he had alluded to distinctly and most unequi vocally told them that they ought not again to intrust to this irresponsible body the management of the enormous extent of business of this great commercial country. In point of fact that body had by their gross mismanagement under their new regulations, occ isioned more fluctuations since the year of the panic (1825), than had ever been known before. The Hon. Member then proceeded to sub stantiate his position by a long string of figures, which have been repeatedly printed in various shapes. In fact the managers of the concern had throughout exhibited such utter incapacity for the business, as was clearly to be seen not only from the ebsurdly impracticable regulations which they had promulgated, but from the practical results of these regulations, that it would be highly culpable again to intrust the management of such momentous national in terests to this body. Not only would this occasion a deficient circulation, but the contraction of the currency would inevitably produce a dearth throughout the land. The resolutions of the Noble Lord contained nothing calcu lated to obviate the evils which an extension of the B ink Charter, as at present contemplated, would in evitably produce.—(Hear, hear.) There must be gold to supply the place of the 51. notes in circulation when ever a panic was dreaded, or whenever from any cause these notes were withdrawn from circulation. And how was the Bank of England to get gold? He would let the Bank answer that. The Hon. and Gallant Officer quoted Mr. Horsley Palmer's evidence, to show that it had no other means of getting the quantity of gold which it thought necessary to have in its coffers when it had it not, except to narrow the circulation and produce a fall of prices. He entreated those gentlemen who were the advocates of a measure for giving relief to the people by extending the currency, to think of the consequences of that, and to remember, that the resolution of the Noble Lord was directly contrary to their plan of giving relief to the country in an easy manner, by extending the cur rency. The proposition of the Noble Lord, he had no hesitation in saying, would, if it were carried, have the necessary result, though the Noble Lord might not intend it, to extinguish the whole of the country bankers. He begged the country gentlemen to look at that result. The accommodation now afforded by the country backers was not measured by the quantity of notes they had in cir culation, but each of these banks, in opening cash cre dits with its customers, which were transferred from one to ;mother by means of checks and drafts, afforded accom modation to a much greater amount than the notes it had in circulation. On an issue of only 5,0001. it might afford accommodation to the extent of ten, fifteen, twenty, or even fifty thousand pounds. By putting the notes out of circulation, they would lose the profit of this branch of their business, and might be unable to continue the accommodation they now afforded. The cash credits were even of more importance than the notes, and it was of some consequence that they should not be destroyed. The Noble Lord said, that there was no ground for form ing any opinion on the subject, and on that ground he called on the House to pause before it proceeded with the pla❑ of the Noble Lord. They knew, from experience, that many calamities had been brought o❑ the roan ry by the present system of currency. They knew thr.t the errors of the Bank Directors were not corrected ; they knew that under what the Directors called their lull:roved system the fluctuations had been very great, and they could have no hope of avoiding in future those calatnities which the country had suffered in times past. If they continued the circulation in the hands exclusively of the Bank of England, they must expect that fluctuation would again ensue ; that panics would follow, and that famines and convulsions would agai❑ threaten the land. He, o❑ all these grounds, therefore, recommended the Committee to postpone the consideration of the question for another session. The Hon. and Gallant Member concluded by moving the insertion of words, as an amendment on the Noble Lord's resolution, purporting that the consideratio❑ of the subject should be postponed till next Session of Parliament. Mr. P. SCROPE seconded the amendment. (The Hon. Member was only imperfectly heard in the gallery.) He said, as far as we could make out, that the question was one of vital importance. It was universally admitted that the banking system of the country was very defective ; and surely when the Bank Charter was about to be re newed was the time for inquiring into and remedy ing those defects! The Bank of England, though not the only, was the chief source of the circulation of the country. Five sixth of the notes in circulation were Bank of England notes; and the whole amount of gold in circulation was supplied by the Bank of England. There could be no doubt, therefore, that the Bank of England had a com plete controlling power over the whole circulation. There could be no question, therefore, that this controlling power must be blamed for those alarming fluctuations which had inflicted such great evil in this country during the last 20 years. He would not enter into a history of those fluctuations ; he would merely ask, were those evils the necessary consequence of every system of currency, or only of our peculiar system ? He believed that they were not inherent in all systems of currency, but only in our system. Those fluctuations had at one time defrauded creditors, and at another plunged debtors in irretrievable ruin. He would notice a fal lacy of those who supported the Bank : they com pared it to the Mint, and concluded, because a mono poly in the one case was advantageous, that it must be ad vantageous in the other. But the two systems had no similarity. The one was a public office, the officers were responsible to the public, and paid by the public; the other was a private concern, quite irresponsible to any person but its proprietors. The public had no hold of the Bank of England. He knew that it was said that the Bank Directors were men of honour and integrity, and it was precisely because th,y were men of honour and integrity that he said they were not responsible to the public. The Hon. Member entered into some argu ments, and quoted several authorities to show that the Bank was altogether• a private establishment, the Directors of which were elected by the Proprietors, and responsible to tlem. The Honourable Member contended on this ground that the Batik Directors, as men of honour and integrity, would attend to the inte rests of the Proprietors, and not to the interest of the public. The Honourable Member next referred to some person whom he did not name, who had been an opponent of the Balk, and had been, he knew not how, miraculously converted, and who was now the only advo cate of any consequence the Bank now had. The Hon. Gentleman also referred to the authority of Mr. Richards, to show that that gentleman spoke of the Bank of England as a public body; but it was public only when it suited its purposes to be so, and private when it wanted to refuse to have its accounts investigated. He did not deny the moderation of the Bank of England, inasmuch as it had only nearly ruined all credit, when it might have annihi lated it. The Bank had only two or three times brought the country to the brink of ruin, when it had the power of irretrievably ruining it. So far he admitted its mo deration. Its principles were those of its own interest, and they could only be prosecuted by a disregard of th e public welfare. Its power was continually directed to alter prices, and its interest was frequently promoted by limiting the currency, and lowering the prices in all the market• of the country. Its power was infinitely greater than that possessed by the Legislature, and far exceeded in its extent and operation that power with which public opi nion never endowed any Government. Over the Bank of THE HOUSE. Mr. O'CONNELL begged to move, that the issuing of the writ to the borough of Carrickfergus be postponed from Ist July to the Ist of August. The SPEAKER said that unless the Hon. and Learned Gentleman could guarawee the sitting of the House till the Ist of August, it would be better to fix an earlier day. Mr. O'CONNELL replied that he feared he could guarantee the sitting of the House till the Ist of Sep. ieilities, Of ' England, which eartied .on its.
