THE SECOND COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord CAMPBELL said that with respect to this measure, which introduced more important changes into the law than any bill since the time of Edward 1., ho wished to make one or two observations, lest he should be thought to concur with his noble and learned friend opposite (Lord St. Leonards). Although some of the changee it proposed to effect might be hazardous, they were all laudable, but he believed his noble and learned friend disapproved of the bill altogether. His noble and learned friend has expressed doubts with regard to the propriety of the judge trying issues of fact without the intervention of a jury, and if it were proposed to extend that principle to all cases, he should be disposed to con cur with him. In cases where there was a conflict of evidence, where character was concerned, and where the trial was as to whether an offence has been committed, he was entirely of opinion that the best possible tribunal was a jury presided over by a judge ; but cases wherein the general facts were not disputed, and which termi nated in questions of law, he thought these would be more satisfactorily determined by a judge without the intervention of a jury. An important, and, as he consi dered a useful feature of this bill, was, that in cases of disputed accounts, which a jury would he wholly in competent to try, either party might apply to the court to have the case referred to a single individual, who would sit de die in diem until lie had gone through the disputed items, and whose decision should be final. An other important change was as to the unanimity of juries. Generally speaking, he approved of that principle of our law which required the jury to be unanimous in their verdict, nod though he regarded the custom of locking up juries without fire or candle or food, in order to force them to agree, as barbarous, he thought the change originally proposed by the bill would have been inc,t clisaetrous, viz , that after being shut up for 12 hours, if they could not agree they should be discharged. Such a practice, lie believed, would, if adopted, lead to an infinite number of abortive trials. When the bill was before the select committee he (Lord Campbell) pro posed that if at the end of the twelve hours the jury were not unanimous, but if nine should have agreed, then the verdict of the nine should be taken as the ver dict of the twelve. A noble and learned friend of his, however, suggested that ten should be required to con cur instead of nine, and as the committee had—he thought very properly—adopted that suggestion, he hoped their lordships would confirm it. The next point of importance in the bill was the change it proposed to make in regard to oaths. He shohld be the last per son to propose the abolition of oaths altogether, for he believed, in the present state of society, justice could not, as a general rule, be satisfactorily administered, ex cept upon sworn testimony ; but seeing that a class of our fellow subjects. whose feelings were entitled to re spect, entertained conscientious objections to the taking oloaths, and he could not wonder at it when he recol lected the command, " Swear not at all," it was pro posed by the bill that if it should appear to the judge that any witness entertained that objection really and conscientiously, he might, though such witness was nei ther a quaker, separatist, or a member of any exempted sect, allow him to be examined upon his affirmation. He hoped this change also would be confirmed by their lord ships. There was but one other point to which he wished to refer, and that was with respect to the fusion of law and equity. For centuries there had been a broad line of demarkation between the courts of law and the courts of equity, the consequence of which was that parties were driven from the one court to the other, from the courts of equity to the courts of law, in order that issues of fact might be tried, and back again to the courts of equity, thus occasioning great expense and delay, and often tending to prevent rather than fa cilitate the administration of justice. The principle upon which this bill proceeded was, that one court should hear and finally adjudicate upon the case without the intervention of another court. That prin ciple he fully approved of, and he had no doubt it would work beneficially, and that the common law judge would be enabled to perform satisfactorily the functions which would devolve upon him under the, bill. Their lordships would probably remember a case that occurred some three years ago, in which the evils of the existing system were strongly shown. There was a nuisance at Clapham which consisted of the ringing of a bell, by which persons in the neighbourhood were considerably annoyed, and an application was made to the Court of Chancery for an injunction ; but that court said to the applicant, before we can interfere you must go to the Common Law Court and get a verdict. An action was accordingly brought at common law, and a verdict was obtained, establiihing the fact of the nuisance, but no sooner was that judgment announced than the bells com menced ringing again. The Court of Common Law had no power to interfere to prevent the nuisance which it had decided existed, and it became necessary to file a bill in Chancery for an injunction to put an end to it. The application was made to the Vice-Chancellor, and after the lapse of a few days the injunction was granted. Why the Court of Common Law should not have the power of enforcing its own decision lie could not conceive, and one of the enactments of the present bill was intro duced to confer that power upon it, and thus remove an anomaly in the practice of the law. Again, with regard to questions of suretyship : if the deed of suretyship was under seal, they must go to the Court of Chancery ; but if not, they might be taken cognizance of by the Courts of Common Law. Why this distinction should exist he was at a loss to understand. INSiTRANCE COMPANIES. Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. P.lce. Annum. Share. • ___ , 1 £ a. d. 1 X s.

He knew that in the present state of the house and of public feeling it was in vain to attempt to prevent its passing ; tut he never theless felt confident that the functions of the present prize agents could not he properly performed by the ma chinery which was to be established by this bill. A cir cumstance indeed had just occurred which strongly cor roborated the views he entertained on this point. A prize having been taken in the Baltic by the James Watt, was - brought into the river for condemnation. The prize agent then found that certain charges to the amount of about 151. had been incurren for the wages and provisions of the prize crew, and on applying to the Admiralty to know whence he was to procure funds to satisfy the demand, he was informed through Admiral Berkeley that the charges and expenses incidental to the prize would be paid out of the proceeds when it was con demned. But the fact was, that as the ship was not yet brought up for condemnation, no one could rresume to say whether she would be condemned or not. Now, under the old system the prize agent appointed by the ship's crew took upon himself the whole charge of the prize, defrayed all the incidental expenses, and took the risk of be'ng repaid if the vessel was condemned. When this subject was last under the consideration of the house, his noble friend (the Duke of Newcastle) stated that the proceeds of the prize Eliz Cornish had not been as yet distributed owing to the charges of the agents. He wished to mention that he had received a a letter from the agents stating that these charges were mainly on account of wages and provisioning of the prize crew, and of repairs ; that they were not responsi ble for the expenses which had been incurred, and that the delay was caused by their accounts being now under the investigation of the registrar of the Court of Admi ralty. He bad on a former oceasion stated his objec tions to giving this bill a retrospective action, and he hoped that his noble friend would now assent to the introduction of an amendment to guard against this. Another point on which he wished to insertan amendment was the following. The noble duke had stated that little or no injury would accrue to the navy agents from this measure, because other acts give them a great interest in the distribution of the value of prizes taken, to the amount of 24 per cent. upon the proceeds. Now, in this statement there was a confusion between the navy agents and the prize agents—the former, who were the parties referred to in the former acts of Parliament, being the agents of the individual officers, and not of the crews. He wished, therefore, to secure to these persons what was given them by former acts, and which the noble duke said that he did not seek to deprive them of, and he would therefore move the insertion in clause 26 of Words declaring that this bill was not intended to deprive a ship's crew or officers of the right of appointing agents, - under power of attorney, who should be authorised to receive - the prize money from the Paymaster-General, and to distribute it. He should also propose to insert another amendment, with the view of preventing the act from any retrospective operation. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that it was not the fact that any loss would accrue to the captains and crews of the vessela which took prizes in con sequence of the cessation of the practice of allowing navy agents to transact the whole business con nected with a prize previous to its condemnation. It was true that, in a case to which the noble earl referred, the prize agent had been informed by the Admiralty that the captain's agent would be liable for the expenses attendant upon bringing the prize over for condemnation. Eut the fact was that the captain of the vessel taking the prize was at the present moment liable for any loss that might accrue if she were not condemned. The vessel was brought over for condem nation at his risk, and he was the ultimate loser if it was not condemned, although no doubt the prize agent pail the expenses in the first instance. With respect to the Eliza Cornish, he ha I not, as his noble friend seemed to think, brought any charge against the prize agents to whom she was entrusted. All he said on a former occa sion was, that if great delay had taken place in that case, so that there was a risk of its being brought under the operation of this act, that delay arose from the fact of the agents' charges being under the consideration of the Court of Admiralty. That statement was strictly borne out by the letter which his noble friend had re ceived from the agents. Ho never expressed any opinion whatever that the agents' charge were exorbi tant, although, no doubt, the fact that they were muter the consideration of the registrar of the Court of Ad miralty showed that there was a prima facie case against them. He could not accede to either of the amend ments which his noble friend had suggested. He ob jected to-that which related to the' supposed retrospec tive operation of the bill, because there was no ground for saying that the measure would have any such opera tion. On the contr.-aye its whole scope and bearing were entirely prospective ; and it was the intention of the Admiralty that the prize agents should settle all matters now before them under the existing law. The other amendment was equally unnecessary, because the existing law,ewhich this bill did not affect, secu re d t o the navy the prize agents , the commission of 25 per cent. on He doubted whet % distributed through their agency. been -prop ose d b y Zlineli a provision as that which h a d in noble and learned f r ie n d cou ld b e correctly introduced was teat Clear that Hou se o f P ar li amen t.

He (Lord leave to bear his testimony to the gr eat merits and inva luable services of the prize agents, and would remind their lordships of the panegyrics that had been pronounced upon them by the highest judicial authorities in such matters and by the highest personal authorities, including amongst them his late and illustrious friend Lord St. Vincent. The inestimable services rendered to the navy by those parties were such that Lord St. Vincent had .. said that were it not for their help he knew a number of eases in which gallant officers would not have been able to join their ships and engage in the service of their country.; - (Hear.) From his own experience in the courts - of prize, he could state that upwards of 50,0001. had been obtained by captors through the exertions of the prize agents, not one farthing of which would have been obtained if the provisions of this new plan were then in existence, and if the Crown-appointed officers had the management of the proceedings.

The inauguration of the Epsom Summer Meeting was far from propitious. Heavy rain had fallen through the night, and though it did not much affect the absorbent chalky soil of the Downs, it completely saturated the lower grounds. The gloomy aspect of the morning was moreover most discouraging, and the strong showers which fell at short intertals doubtless prevented numbers of persons from venturing far abroad. About noon, however, a favourable change took place, and throughout the afternoon the sun shone forth with great warmth and brilliancy. The company of which there was a tolerably strong muster in the enclosure, consisted of the leading patrons of the turf . and the regular bookmakers. Very few ladies were visible on the Grand Stand, which, we have already mentioned, has been greatly improved by the construction of separate boxes or divisions in the upper balcony. The general company was considerably below the average attendance of past years on the first day. The meeting, of which this is the 75th anniversary, has undoubtedly undergone considerable changes during its racing life, and it must be confessed that, although its constitution is stronger and sounder than ever ; it has lost much of that rollicking mirth and exuberant gaiety which characterised its middle age, and constituted the great charm with thousands who like the excitement but care little for the business of a race meeting. The racing to-day was, for the most part, excellent, as the preceding details clearly show. The course was in capital condition, and from present appearances the hopes of a brilliant Derby-day are likely to be realised.

LEONARDS desired to say a few words upon the two points upon which he felt it his duty to take the opinion of their lordships. The first amendment he proposed was to ask their lordships not to allow the words to stand in the 17th clause, which made it suffi cient for ten or eleven of the jury to agree in order that the verdict might be recorded, and to require that the concurrent verdict of not less than eleven should be required. He thought it would be very dan gerous to break in upon' the ancient institution of trial by jury to the extent to which it was proposed in this bill. His noble and learned friend on the woolsack had placed the greatest reliance on the report of the select committee of that house, but he had not followed that report in this instance. The next question Arose in that portion of the bill, which proposed to allow par ties, having a conscientious scruple to taking an oath to Marsyas ...... Middlesex .............. Bumby. Simpson.

DERBY.—Marley Hill yesterday at 2.10 p.m., and Prince Arthur at 2.30 p.m. OAKS.—Honeysuckle at 2.10 p.m. make an affirmation of the truth of the evidence they were about to give. The law at present went to a great extent in allowingcertainsectsto decline taking an oath. That was a very different thing to what was proposed in this bill, for there a man stood out as part of a class, well known to have religious scruples against taking oaths. But under this bill every man, religious or irreligious might say that he had a scruple. Many men would not hesitate in telling a falsehood under a mere declaration who would hesitate if he believed the eye of his Maker was upon him. Many other persons, too, not having any religious fear upon them, would not be so careful in separating facts from beliefs and hearsay knowledge as they ought, in order to make their evidence avail any thing. Again, what was to guide the judge in deter mining whether a man ought to be allowed to decline taking an oath or not ? There was nothing to assist hint in that decision. It would all go on matter of be lief.: In one instant he might allow a man to make a declaration, in another, refuse another person that license.
